ivvy is a seattle techno and electronics producer. following two cassette releases (motor and jungle gym records), we are proud to release their new 12- ep on transfusions. ivvy has been burning tracks on the tour circuit as of late. here we have four cuts of relentless and dark-tinged techno for your listening pressure. finely sharpened dj weapons for the uncompromising selector. these tracks are akin to other stompers in the genre on such ne labels as mord, our circula sound, and token. -ivvy... harnesses the mantric power of swift, pummeling beats and beautifully abrasive timbres for maximal dance- oor freak-outs.- dave segal

following our first release with opal, which aimed at the dance and the bodies, we wanted with this second ep to reach to people’s mind. as a geneva-based techno label, it was fundamental to work with our local hero: opuswerk. he’s already been working outside of the country with artists like francois x and labels such as arts, semantica or dement3d. it was time we involved him in our project. through this ep, opuswerk clearly shows what he knows and does best. much like his dj sets, he connects dots and layers in unexpected ways, like a rhizome connecting different multiplicities. inspiration for the original tracks came from designing systems of independent yet connected sounds, where events are triggered, un-triggered and alter other events, each behaving on their own. as one of those elements, the artist acts as a guide, directing them from one place to the next acting as and with the machines. the -mot d’ordre- is about becoming one of the machines, blending techniques with vibes and catching them like ever escaping dreams. the result is two uniquely sounding spaces, either filled with raw energy like on extensum or with subtle and serene ever-evolving bleeps on spatium. those two extremes are fitting to how we want present the multiple dimensions of our artists works to the world. the same logic went into choosing the remixers, with whom opuswerk had a human connection with. inland and antigone need no introductions, having both established their sound on labels like countercharge or token. each brought their own re-interpretations of the original tracks bringing them closer to the dancefloors.

nice price deal !!! z.i.p.p.o is back on virgo with his first solo ep >night again< including a massive remix from the uk producer 0 phase, already known for his legendary works on token. deep, atmospheric and powerful, this record definitely represents the >virgo< sound in full effect.

“sawtooth novel” is a killer track, a special weapon intended for the dancefloor. the rest of the ep turns around powerful techno to more deeper and mysterious atmospheres. after his brilliant works on token and cocoon records, johannes volk continues to impress us!
some johannes’ words about his work for artcub records: “the title track “sawtooth novel” is my little hommage to the old sägezahn sound. there was a sägezahn renaissance in the rhein main area end of the 90’s, which was a huge influence for me when i went to clubs during this time. “counterbalance” has a rather subtle approach, the track lives from its effects and filtering. for the others tracks i want to express the more darker and dramatic side of techno, which is also well-equipped for the more excessive dancefloor hours.”

mixing heavy industrial influences with idm and electro to create some high impact sonic weaponry, this new offering from lower parts sees glaswegian producer, galaxian, on fine form. cosmic lifeforms, restless machine lines, frazzled synths and tough hits get things going before the ep moves into more ambient and then onto full force techno territory.

south london ordnance debuts on parachute. the british producer marks his first release of 2017 with parallel window, a four track ep featuring three wrought-iron originals and remix from token & blueprint affiliate, sigha. driven and direct, the music marries rolling low end with high energy drum machine percussion and wide angle highs - for the most part eschewing anxious, heads-down austerity in favour of a more uplifting, trancelike approach - spread across multiple bpms. despite the heady, crushed finish - shifts in tone are subtle, developing over prolonged periods, with careful modulation drawing sounds in and out of the sonic hinterland sporadically to create a comfortable atmospheric balance between peak-time dance-floor urgency and hazy mid-set moments. on his remix, sigha hones in on this sentiment - lifting the caustic lead bassline from parallel window and augmenting it with trademark cavernous low end, skittering highs & a rolling lead arp to create a hypnotic, half-time dirge.

after a prolific career releasing on platforms such as audio assault, token, perctrax, stroboscopic artefacts and the huehelix imprint go hiyama is back with an astounding piece of work that dictates its own path. ‘i am goodbye’ graces us with wondrous sound-design and drum patterns that are just as menacing as they are intricate. based on the concept of denial this full-length takes a steep dive into what here at parachute we cherish the most - individuality. steering away from what are his canonic approaches to producing he chooses to leave behind sequencers and synths to further explore the nature of instruments such as piano and vibraphone as well as an array of field recordings. the end result is remarkable proof of the concept behind this album, interpreting denial in an unusually positive course of action allowing him to explore areas of sound he had previously never visited. a definite highlight here at parachute and an exemplary release to kick off our 2017 schedule. the year couldn’t have started any better! ‚i am goodbye’ is designed by atilla fidan and released on lp

culminating the cycle of drone logic, daniel avery releases new energy, a collection of remixes including six new reworks. token records’ ace in the pack Ø phase reshapes naive response into a beautifully psychedelic techno trip whilst conforce turns the previously reflective simulrec into a militaristic stomp aimed squarely at the floor. further out still, ruthless noise experimentalist powell takes a typically esoteric approach to water jump, leaving it just as catchy in disarray as when it was first conceived.

for their second release, works the long nights are proud to present an ep from sunil sharpe, one of irelands most celebrated underground djs and producers. since late 2000, sunil has gained a formidable reputation as a dj for his quick fire mixing and fast paced sets and, similarly, as a producer for his distinctive style of club music that fully encapsulates irelands rich heritage and relationship with techno. he is a mainstay of the scene in ireland, responsible for a label/vinyl store (earwiggle), a series of one-off events in dublin (hosting guests like planetary assault systems, cj bolland, perc and adam x) and a show on national radio (rte 2fm s late night sessions) and it is, undoubtedly, a great honour to welcome him to the label. sheworks002 arrives off the back of fantastic recent releases for black sun records, komisch (as tricaustic with jon hussey) and labrynth and features four diverse tracks of dark, raw and uncompromising techno pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, mastered at d&m and distributed by rubadub. support from sigha,shifted, truss, rivet, darko esser, ben ufo, inigo kennedy, northern structures, kriz token, perc and more

james ruskin is considered a veteran producer these days, after co-founding blueprint records in 1996 with richard polson, and releasing a string of classics on blueprint, meta and tresor labels to name but a few. 2009 saw ruskin re-invent his sound, a far deeper bass driven aesthetic, with killer releases on sandwell district, token and the newly reformed blueprint imprint.

minor love features 14 brand new tracks from americas number 1 greatest singer!. minor love found green enlisting the talents of rodrigo from little joy and other hanger ons, like his brother joel (and look a likes joe steinbrick and greg from megapuss). the album showcases a tender side of the often arrogant and emotionally unavailable bully / singer, green. in a total state of isolation, green attempted to play nearly all the instruments on the record, due to incurable social phobias which plagued him. apparently the inspiration for this album lies in greens fatalism - you might want to take that with a pinch of salt though!

forward strategy group follow up their seriously killer debut 12inch release >transect< with another fresh slab of monolithic, bass heavy techno entitled: >applied generics<. with support from surgeon, ben sims, marcel heese (tresor), samuli kemppi (berghain), grovskopa (token, audio assault) ++ applied generics has already booted a sizeable hole in the ceiling @ clubs worldwide. this new release was featured as part of ben sims and surgeons frequency 7 set on mary anne hobbs radio 1 show and as part of surgeons resident advisor podcast. the first offering is a skanking slice of techno with a shuffled re-sequenced edge delivering a cortex scrambling mess of barbed wire sounds wrapped around a linear, tracky beatstructure. this is a unique cut with a very distinct sound somewhere between berlin minimalism and dark wave uk techno. on the flip deep rumbling textures, ghostly tones and spectral, metalic chords lie in wait on the second offering, which takes on a more berlin influenced deep style pitching it somewhere in between basic channel and sandwell district. big

with recent releases on emergence and token, grovskopa debuts for labrynth and hits the floor hard with treacher collins . re-processed percussion and rolling low end seem to cause sensory overload at every turn. the perfect floor tool. aa/ balamber sees grovskopa maintain the industrial focus, but heads further into darkness and despair. driving forwards relentlessly, a rolling sea of bass and mechanical abrasive tones force us to move and dance! b/ trademark michaelangelo sounds here on the 4/4, reminiscent of some of the mid 90 s synewave recs releases. sirius carves into an immense sonic landscape. chaotic and crackling high frequencies modulate and break up over our heads, while monotone subs meander and bounce with the kick. big room techno. big sound. quality. bb/ massive offbeat techno from telesthesia, a collaboration between michaelangelo & coefficient. complex rhythms continually weave throughout the track. the journey deconstructs and falls into darkness, re-emerging again into precision synths and digital modulations
