the cyovac machine is held together by a team of like minded artists that work to move production forward. cryovac functions to preserve the soundcraft of thees artists into the vinyl format. cryovac vinyl is pressed by a.garcia at archer record press in detroit. the cryovac operates to push music that represents the soul of its maker. sierra sam and pascal hetzel bring the smooth techno feel of berlin and an analog savvy to fist side of cryovac #14. they combine for two minimal machine soul bangers that zone your mind and move your body. spam burrito is the creation of a.garcia and kieth kemp. this combination rocks out choice wavs that have been tweeked to perfection under the rising and falling of effects. dave powers choses the low key emotional path of ever an evolving synth moving an intelligent knock. the 14th edition of cryovac is a must hear.

seth troxlers play it say it label looks to sean miller for its next essential bit of dance floor dynamite. this 11th firing release on the label features two killer cuts from the canadian producer. miller has been turning out taste making tracks on a consistent basis for a decade now. releasing on mobilee, area remote and ovum he is no stranger to the best labels out there and this latest missive is another offering that will keep djs and dancers happy all summer long and beyond. the momentous a side ‘tiger spirit it’ is ten tantalising minutes of deep and seductive house music. clever drum fills, poised synth stabs and vocal coos all add oil to the groove as playful kicks punch out an infectious pattern below. this is proving to be one of key tracks in seth’s tracks this summer: ‘it’s driving the crowds wild’. ‘together’ is less physical but certainly more emotional offering. playing out perfectly effortlessly, it has swirling pads and trilling chords adding some sensuous summer sunshine to the vibe fuelled house drums below. troxler has once again unearthed a brilliant release from a talented producer right at the top of his game.

following on from anethas ophiuchus ep last year, work them records founder spencer parker has compiled a remix package featuring himself and french techno stalwart antigone. a key component in the thriving parisian techno scene, anetha is a resident at monthly party series blocaus. spencer reworks drive with a dead girl, incorporating punchy kicks and shuffling hats before the originals mesmerising arpeggios come into effect. on the other hand antigone distorts black widow beyond recognition by blending fuzzy atmospherics with a cavernous 808 and glitchy hook. concluding the release is a bonus track from anetha herself titled traces to nowhere with its gloomy pads and squelchy melodies.

emotional especial and cocktail d amore music enter cahoot-mode once again with a second round of sfire remixes that take proceedings down a deeper, more stripped-back path courtesy of the inimitable timothy j fairplay and willie burns. two artists who need little introduction offer up two remixes each that take the unique original to new dance floor extremes. timothy steps up first with his take on -sfire 2- via differing vocal and instrumental versions. his trademark, echo laden rolling percussion and john carpenter-style key lines take the original synth-pop homage to the dark room. adding arps, a lifting, hedonistic breakdown and the scatter-stepper drums and claps found on the instrumental version and this is pure cotf territory and the better for it. mr willie burns meanwhile has long followed his own path for his take on -sfire 3-, offering one of his deepest remixes to date. thudding kick, brooding pads and dark strings force the vocals to go down, way down for examination. the distorted vocals of remix 1 are countered by remix 2 letting the track shine via a seemingly endless 4/4 beat. psychedelic, trance inducing, pulsating, this is an ever growing mind expanse.

nice price deal !!! for the second release on yellow stripe recordings we have a hard as nails tune from machine code in their signature style, dark and futuristic. progression is key in this techno-infused monster track, it just keeps on growing. and what to expect from katharsys and forbidden society? a destructive combination of their trademark elements, huge snares, big bass and nasty distortion.both tunes promise to tear dancefloors apart.

nice price deal !!! like the alien skull that adorns its cover, voodeux’s bones ep is certainly from another place and time. picking up where their 2007 the curse ep left off, sonic madmen tanner ross and kilowatts have refined and sharpened their signature sound into 1.000 needlepoints, bound directly for the back of your neck. this is techno for a horror movie set in deep space. reach for bones if you have a crowd peaking and you want to rip their heads off. burly slabs of bass rain down like easter island statues, while relentless crystalline atmospherics splinter endlessly towards the horizon. skeleton key is no less ominous, broadcasting its spidery main theme over an ever-evolving, increasingly paranoid chord sequence. once the kick drops back in, the chords frost over with a layer of ice, smashing through the frame with all the subtlety of a yeti attack

detroit enigma sharif laffrey makes a return to paramidas berlin-based love on the rocks imprint with pony ep. the two track ep marks his second release with the label (following key jam (a.c.i.d.) and his third release in three years - something of a roll for laffrey who typically allows years to pass between each outing.over 9 minutes of what sounds like nineties 4/4 indian acid-house bass music - in the best way. surprising vocals & a healthy 3 minute lead in. b-side: pony roger’ if the pony you were riding on the a-side was galloping through a grassy meadow - this pony heads into a dark cave. if the a-side is the never ending story then the b-side is the dark crystal. but with prince instead of bowie. sharif laffrey has been playing records and making music for 20 long hard years. born in detroit, michigan - hes worked on the line checking camshafts for chryslers & at submerge for mike banks - at the same time. he toured asia with juan atkins and once had to chase a grown man through the streets at night, who had crawled into his living room through an open window. an active member in detroits early rave scene, sharif remembers booking all foreign gigs with something he calls a fax machine.

the first release on the copenhagen techno imprint ectotherm is by local producer schacke, a key figure in the danish noise, techno and industrial scene. this club friendly four-tracker encompasses schacke’s many aspects: whether it’s functional dubby excursions or forest-leaning soundscapes, a unique and rough energy powers through the entire record. his shattering live output can be witnessed at the copenhagen warehouse-come-venue mayhem, and his taste explored on his own label moral defeat.

killekill megahits ii is a jubilee release. but it’s not only that. it’s also milestone and turning point in the killekill history, because with this release killekill closes one chapter, and opens up another. we will start several new labels over the next months, so this is a hello and a goodbye release – looking back and forward at the same time. the full compilation got a lot of coverage and the tour was very successful, and so we will release the records as single releases as well. part 1 features some of the future key artists and crosses over from electro to acid and back.

following the release of 2015’s animistas album on mindtours, steevio returns with the fourth and final volume in the modular techno series after starting the project in 2012. initially conceived as he moved his studio practice towards a purely outboard, analogue, modular synthesiser set up, the modular techno series has charted the development of steevio’s exploration of this working practice both on record and on stage. the work involved in live appearances across the uk and europe over the past four years have fed into the creative process, with rehearsals for sets often yielding the material that has ended up on vinyl. volume 4 is arguably the darkest instalment in the series to date, dealing in a strict economy of minimalist rhythms and off-key melodic touches while still easily identified as the unmistakable tones and distinctive grooves of steevio. in the grand tradition of techno as visionary music, the dystopian tone that lingers throughout modular techno vol 4 points to a future of uncertainty, but this is far from nihilistic music, always within the darkness remains a glimmer of hope.

greg belson s divine disco is a snapshot in time encapsulating the raw power of a spiritual performance, set to the pulsating 4/4 rhythms that were in vogue with the dance floors of the day. tip! labels like savoy played a key part in identifying artists that fit nicely into this brand new style with performers like shirley finney and the gospelaires, both of whom were established within the scene, but carried the disco torch brightly with their tunes featured here. divine disco also paints a picture of the lesser known acts that privately released their message to the hopeful masses, such as the gospel ambassadors and the inspirational souls, whose recording budgets would have been significantly less than any major label.

that night, we answered a regular call, something about crazy loud noises coming out from a basement. while driving to the area all i could think when i first heard the bass stomping was: “man, whatever, this doesn t even sound like music to me.” and we were at least a 100 meter away from the source of the sound. when we got there, after knocking several times on the door, we decided we had more than enough probable causes to bust in. after a warning, we kicked the door open. what we saw inside was a five feet tall woman jumping around in that cacophony. we screamed and she ignored us, my colleague then panicked and shot her with his taser several times – she then simply pulled the probes out of her body shouting moments moments – and continued to jump around..

1999…after the global supremacy of oasis and blur, the world is looking for some musical freshness. some artists such as daft punk and air have already contributed to globally popularise what the english called the “french touch”, a new term that refers to a large musical french movement. the first album of cassius is one of the key pieces of this growing genre, and demonstrates once again the variety of the trend. indeed, after have cooperated for a long time with mc solaar, one of france’s 90’s best rappers, the hip-hop influence of both cassius members had to have an impact on their personal concept, and it did seduce a lot of listeners hungry for new musical flavours: more than 250 000 units sold worldwide and numerous unconditional fans…before the release of their new album ibifornia coming out this summer, we’re taking you back to basics with a new release of cassius’ first album, for the ones who didn’t have the opportunity to hear it, or for those who only have the cd, and would like to get themselves the vinyl edition !
