akelarre is the fourth studio album of synths versus me. its black (sadness) and white (happiness) design explain the concept and feelings behind it creation, majorly composed and written during the death by sickness of a very close friend of the duo to whom the album is dedicated, it swims between the positive and negative feelings felt by svm during this hard process suffered. is remarkable that in this occasion svm counted with the collaboration of the british band the underground youth for a new remixed version of -the rules of attraction- originally released by tuy back in 2009. this special edition arrives on 2×12&#8243,, ep format and produced in a one-off truly limited edition of 200 copies lacquered pressed on 180 gr. high quality black and white vinyl. all tracks have been specially mastered remastered for long cut vinyl by eric van wonterghem

the superb forbidden planet is a shiny early electro cut with a great funk bass line, a real instrumental groove and fantastic melodies that shimmer like a hot sun. it s filled with joy and sounds as fresh today as ever, the way it ducks and dives and offers real warmth. the francisco remix keeps the funk vibe but changes the groove to be a more chicago house style cut. as such it has a rasping bassline, big drums and coarse percussion that make you want to jack. the masterful ali renault—a go-to disco and synth specialist who runs cyber dance records, human shield record company and most recently his own vivod imprint—then turns out a hypnotic version that is more driven and direct for the dance floor, with robotic bass and epic reflective synth lines. it s a cinematic track with great analogue textures that goes back to the future. the last original is the excellent stay with me , a cosmic love song with breezy trumpets and dreamy disco vibes as well as soulful vocals. italo melodies and infectious percussion finish it off and make it an instant crowd pleaser.

phase fatale creates techno from disparate subcultures of dead industrial with a post-punk spirit, bringing back an immediacy and aggressive energy sorely missing in the contemporary electronic landscape.
with “redeemer,” the debut full length from phase fatale, conceived by dj and producer hayden payne in new york by way of berlin, deepens his exploration of the tension—both sonic and conceptual—begun on his eps released over the last three years on the jealous god and unterton labels. in intent and impact, phase fatale bears allegiance to the surreal influence of juan mendez aka silent servant, with whom payne has worked closely in collaboration.

seasoned memory athletes will no doubt recall the turbo’s past affiliation with the former soviet union (proxy, tiga tigayevich khristorozhdestvensky), and recent geopolitical developments have prompted the label to once again hedge its bets. our a&r team spent countless hours sifting through layer after layer of russian underground music, a shocking amount of which turned out to be fake soundcloud accounts from producers based in florida. in fact, our best intelligence suggests that dimitri veimar may be the only person making music in russia today. for the 30 minutes a day he is not trading in politically moderate twitter-bot futures, veimar produces dark, raw-dog electro. he has already released music with omnidisc and renate, so it makes little sense to us why we have to communicate with him via a mole in the canadian embassy in moscow, which is further complicated by the fact that the mole is also an aspiring dj/producer whom we have to keep happy at all costs. you have no idea how much has been sacrificed in order to shield you from the realpolitik of international dance music.

in order to get lines of perspective moving, aufgang transcend their instrumentarium. from this organic corpus, they manage to extract a hand-stitched, deeply human kind of music. this exhilarating craft builds bridges between disciplines, skilfully pulling together acoustics and electronics while making bold connections between different eras. ancestral pianos are groovier than any sequencer, the synths they use are antediluvian and the drums are constantly oscillating between metal and skin. they may well be the first truly accomplished and unabashed explorers of the channel connecting various approaches which, so far, had at best only been piled up. aufgang transcend the confines of time to bring the past back into the future.

an innate facet of the human condition is the very personal way we choose to process our own fatality. faced with dealing with the feelings of anxiety, death and fear after nearly drowning whilst diving in the south atlantic in his youth, ricardo donoso chose to channel them into his creative process. the result was scuba death, a project that was fully realised on donoso’s widely acclaimed 2014 further debut, nitrogen narcosis. after spending time devoted to establishing his kathexis label as well as delivering a trilogy of albums under his given name for the denovali label, donoso returns to further with a second scuba death offering, the worm at the core.

after heating up with sign bit zero s second release with wosto and label boss kilian krings, sign bit zero is now continuing with some edits by murray cy, the label honcho of contort yourself. the next release contains strictly rough tape material of old and forgotten cassettes from the eighties with a wide range from weird obscurites to strongly distorted material. listen!

after 15 years of recording music albert van abbe releases his debut album on self-titled label vanabbe. 9 signature deep & dry minimalist techno trips using small prepared piano fragments. you wake up on a gold-embroidered divan in the middle of a desert with nothing but a worn canvas stretched between two lonely palm trees to shield you from the blazing sun.

middleburough lads aaron turner and tom brown make their return to 1080p as perfume advert, following up what i must say was one of the breakthrough early cassette releases of the label (tulpa, from back in 2013) with a vivid and kinetic wash of tech-house and and deeply-layered house—extremely heavy night-drive vibes and more abstracted mesmeric feelings lit with pulsating textures and their distinctly murky cosmics.

for the second release on tfbm we have one of our long-time secret weapons: nerd technique, a deep-n-dirty, lo-fi tune, early 90’s techno flavor, edited by rebirth’s boss shield. we also have an amazing mix by maxi mill (rush hour / voyage direct) with an exxxxtra deep bassline, and another mix by echonomist (upon you / memento), delivering a supa grooovy dancefloor killer!

after their contribution to far & beyond compilation, owen jay & melchior sultana get back to deep explorer finally with a full ep, where they combine different styles in just 4 tracks. deep instrumental, vocals and even electro vibes.everything under the smooth shield of the batti batti team. the circle is completed by the remix of make me feel (the track that opened the doors of deep explorer to the batti batti family) by the legendary mike grant (moods & grooves)

the mighty machinegewehr returns with the unforgiven, a four track 12 inch on electronic emergencies. rotterdam s booming disco noir producer is famous for his clean but haunting electronic beats with synth-laden dreamy harmonies. on the unforgiven, this results in two kicking club tracks with clear electro pop pep, an introspective and mesmerizing masterpiece and a perfect bittersweet pop song featuring the breezy and hazy vocals of frosty euro vixen gees voorhees.

cestrian, the darker and more fiercely electronic incarnation of ali renault (dissident, cyber dance, human shield) provides the suitably titled * annihilator* for future flashs second release. witness relentlessly driving, pure electrical energy, biting 606 percussion and raging 101 basses. perseus trax provides the remix here, letting moody pads and screaming machines weave their way round a slightly more jacked drum palette as boiling acid arpeggiates.

shaw cuts enters the site of crime with its first release called ‘have sword, will travel’. the ep includes 4 techno assassins – two tracks by the label founder himself lachriz, who introduces his shaolin moniker ‘farron’ and 2 remixes by the argentinian boxer jonas kopp. ‘equinox’ opens the slaughter with shaking break-beat punches in combination with atmospheric pads surrounding the drum jabs. ti lung would have been pleased. the track ‘apo-g’ comes in sly and chases the enemy with dirty drums and menacing distorted sound spheres that will morph the bad guys into dead guys – throwing star style. the b-side gets taken over all the way by jonas kopp, who brings up two different remixes of ‘equinox’ that can easily cut off the rival’s extremities like a sharp guillotine. and the carnage just begun

alison marks returns fresh from her recent collaborative releases as wallflower with leah floyeurs and lumina, her more machine based project, with helen copnall. here she delivers a subtle yet enlivening piece in the form of mama,a slow, enchanting groove which works surprisingly well pitched up utilising piano, strings and a vocal motif reminding us why it is that we spend so many hours on the dance floor/behind the mixing desk/in the record shop.

after the success of the first ep on belief system records in 2013, ritzi lee has decided its time to deliver the next bomb! with radio signals ep ritzi is taking a deeper exploration on how certain signal sounds can influence space, and how he can apply this in techno music. the result (for now) is 4 tracks that cover different levels of suspence. >deflected< works like a frequency shield where no influences from outside can come through. >activate< is a subtile suspence build up to pass over the signals to infinity. >s.o.s.< is the tune to save our souls in techno music. and >code 754< is the technology to support intergalactic carrier wave transport.
