the ninth ep from the magic waves label comes courtesy of the enigmatic and mysterious voiceover woman. we are given four tracks of modern electro-psychedelic wizardry that will surely melt your mind, as well as any dancefloor it comes into contact with. opening the record is ‘input sensitive’, and we’re plunged into a world of swirling synthesiser emotions from the start, tripping hard into ‘mega gift’, a monster of a track that not only shifts the speed up a gear or three but funks it out in spaced-up futuristic ways too. side b brings us ‘total rotation plug-on’ and takes us deeper into lush aphexian dreamscape dimensions before the whirlwind climax of the record, the closing stormer ‘convolvo’, expanding any mind it’s aurally connected to at an exhilarating rate. it’s a record that leaves you mentally and physically breathless, and is not one to miss. comes in limited quantities, and vinyl is coloured!

after a fabulous summer and a mind-blasting krake festival, killekill takes its next step and kicks off another new label called vanta series, which is destined for small series of 12-es with out-standing dancefloor tracks. the name derives from vantablack, a colour from nano technology, which is the blackest black and actually invisible. vanta therewith stands for the total emptiness and is the perfect name for a label which does not have a defined identity itself but is a platform for different series, which will all have a concept and aesthetic in itself. the first series is called -the end is near-. it consists of 4 releases and comes with an artwork by french artist elzo durt. every release will contain a small poster, all four posters put together become elzo durt s piece -les anges de l apocalypse-. first record is by dez williams, who also released on shipwrec and bass agenda recently. a-side acidbanger is a serious banger and has future acid classic written all over it. the b-side comes with two acid variations - one more stingy, one emotional and psychedelic - which show the potential of this outstanding producer. open your ears and put the needle on - here is some acid!

following his release on stockholm s bossmusik, kalawila s third release really makes mountains go boom! the strength in the second release on mountain explosion device is undoubtedly kalawila’s sense of rhythm, straight to the point, no bs grooves, that swarm to form total dj tools, plus a subtle atmosphere that will move this record from the shelves into the booths. clocked into a near 13 minutes journey, this monster a-side of a track feels like a celebration of everything that makes us gather during those late hours. paired with a sonic wall that resembles mid 90’s lust for experimentation, which marks the entire a side of kalawila’s second release on his label. on the flip you’ll find even further explorations into the same territory. rest assured that virunga’s less organic but more metallic approach will find a place in the hands of more daring dj’s and listeners. the final track is a remix from jana sleep: a long lost tale of hibernation that keeps most hypnotists on the edge for more. this is only the beginning!

the house crime label debuts with this pearl of an ep by the new and exciting talents of steven bc and vrrs. the duo come through dangerously correct with their first release, and -functionz- is an instant hit, one of those tunes that has managed to find the perfect balance between drums and bass, melodies and vocals - a true old-school a-side for the heads. on the flip, -utukmylife (on the dancefloor)- is more speed garage than house, and the two producers pack another mean punch with this total banger, -house will remember-, on the other hand, is a real piece of chicago magic, a classic us house anthem with a rolling pile of drums, a huge swarm of bass and the right level of tape distortion. excellent

a surprising collaboration between mannella and the uk technos bearer - blawan- that clearly establish a deep techno-space, where the quirky sounds are free to be developed and created. right from the very first second of the dark breeze, which spreads a fluid, echoing and fickle synth, we can hear those fuzzy noises that mannella loves to use. a perfect combo is given by the presence of intense drums, thorough pads and harped synths: a total head-trip that flows in the whole ep. then, with i know you are a cheerful air gain the upper hand, leading it to be theperfect dance floor track. even if is just the second release, its pretty explicit the aim that the label has come to play in music today.

nice price deal !!! manchester s techno alchemist and master of the roland tr-808, the enigmatic mr.raw, debuting mancdetroit 12” on win or loose records straight outta toronto ca! long term nightclub shaman on the northwest of england circuit, raw served time in rotterdam s early 90s gabba circles before returning back to manchester to twist brain s n bodies with his wild blend of freestyle techno. raw s witnessed trends in production go from hardware to soft and back again but he s never strayed from a solid rack mount set up based solely around the tr-808. with a few added choice fx processors raw s style is loose n live and captures a pure spirit rarely exercised by today s pacified youth. -perseus dance- sounds like the kind of shit the great ron hardy would jam on, with two copies, for hours. inflicting a sherm-stick flavored mind-blast to the floor that may have indeed caused the good man to blush, we find percolating 808 percussion woven together with a mystic, fizzing lead line and twangy analogue artifacts. darkside acid dragged wailing and whining from rusholmes drains. flip and we have -hard on-: a twisted x-rated porno horror jam. raw s rapid-fire double-speed drum loops firing away while a plethora of abhorrent vox and coital sounds converge onto the track. a total wrecking ball of filth and hellish distortion which just smolders away in the basement of some sadistic nightclub like a rotten but highly intoxicating fungus ready to switch on any passing freaks.

aside from being the originator and creator of the osmose sound 7inch vinyl record stabiliser, dj osmose is a purveyor of the finest house and disco concoctions, a man who has clearly dedicated his life to both house culture and the vinyl format - we dig. this time hes up on the newly crowned morgan avenue edits, and first up is a collaboration with bydesign, a track entitled red light disco, and one that is a total discoid banger, backed by one hell of a baseline. hazardous disco sees the man go solo and deeper than before, serving up a beautiful, vocal-laden, string-heavy disco joint for the modern ear, followed by the smooth-as-silk groove of i dont wanna know. stunningly fab.

its not often you hear a techno record produced by a total of five people. when it happens, it’s usually to mark a passage and make a statement. sometimes it is a matter of celebrating a rita of passage, a shift into maturity and the embodiment of a new skin. this is what repitch is doing with the fourth and final installment in their “features” series, reuniting all the crew for the the final blast of what’s been a long and massive barrage of heavy techno. this is the collaboration to end them all: repitch founders ascion, d. carbone and shapenoise have shared the studio with longtime allies and. together, they explore a common ground made of pounding metallic percussions, gutwrenching bass and thick, furious grooves, with each producer bringing his own peculiar contributions to the table. this last installment marks the end of a process that accompanied repitch throughout its whole existence, thus enhancing the beginning of a new chapter in the label’s creative output.

the vinyl factory has teamed up with french label zone for another rugged techno four tracker, this time from close associate and well established production talent maelstrom. though his name suggests total chaos, maelstroms music belies intention, focus and precision. often marked as exciting newcomer to french techno, maelstrom has actually been making music for over fifteen years. with a cryptic history of aliases and side projects, illegal raves thrown in warehouses and fields and basements, the artist has really come into his own under this moniker. the optics ep showcases metallic techno, acid house, industrial noise and stark ambient sounds, forging smokey machine music for those with a penchant for post punk and a soft spot for the spikier end of the techno spectrum.

this is the birth of b00m jack s new baby my dear friends n freaks... being asked to describe the 22 year old german musician kolja gerstenberg - one possible answer could sound like that he might be the lost twin brother of jamie jones (but it s just one among many other suitable answers) the youngster and music student (he s studying drums at university) kolja is a total opposite of the typical modern-music-scene-kind-of-guy as he sticks to his passion, which is house music in it s classic disguise like 20 years ago. kolja is not interested in following hypes or trends. what he loves are raw & dirty us house like trax or disco house flavoured tunes with loads of jazzy smell and glitter all over. kolja is and will stay real & authentic by keeping this behaviour. he is not aiming at superfi just for the higher potential of success or money or fame . . .

a new four track ep by hexagon aka conforce on his own imprint. doing what he does best. making deep imaginary techno music with otherworldly authentic atmospheres without any concessions. the title track sucks you into desolate interstellar territories paying hommage to 606 rhythms with emotive strings on top that determine the total atmosphere of this killer advanced electro cut. human meets machine in it s purest form. pitch black leans on accurate programmed heavy broken percussive patterns and is the most functional track of the ep. functional but it s haunting atmosphere lifts this to a different dimension. continuum dives deeper into sonic territory with a mysterious stealth missional vibe caused by it s unpredictable sparkling crispy effects and mysterious pads. systematic repetition leans on pulsating modular bleeps and dubby basses and is the most techno orientated cut of the whole ep. it wouldn t be a conforce record if there weren t any strings and pads attached to it.

60 miles are john daly and cian frawley aka frawl. they got together in the studio after one of the infamous backwards parties in limerick and 60 miles was born. it arrived fully formed. label, live act and mindset. they cut their tracks in the moment. 2 self contained setups, no sync between them. no going back. drums. jazz. techno soul. total surrender. 60 miles. this is their first record.

athens reminds us of berlin right after the wall. gritty, chaotic, dirty, and partying like there’s no future. dream weapons is a reflection of these confused greek days. with limited means and a diy attitude he builds harsh, lysergic, electronic dreams on the ruins of a once splendid empire. mrt is the perfect place to do so. we believe in total failure.

ontals work excites many conflicting emotions. exuberant, convoluted and theatrical plots define the watchwords attached to the serbian duo. they represent one of the most paradigmatic examples of how industrial/techno can still offer a wide range of pleasant surprises. a visceral understanding of the scenic rhythm space vs. void establishes a metamorphic composition in short of an almost baroque sensitivity. always moving around an unstable fringe of intuition-rules-over-eclecticism, together with an attitude of total irreverence against the old aphorism, but keeping at the same time an incredible discipline of sophistication, produce a situation where anything touched by them have to be immediately placed at the top of the evolution line of the electronic music. “pietà” simply shows this feeling at their best.

drew mcdowall’s back story reads like a primer of psychedelic fiction woven into statements of the unbelievable, superhuman and outright insane. somewhere in the chaotic madness, comes an artist such as mcdowall with total control and absolute calm within his songs and artistic method.
dais records approached drew to solidify his standing as a leading electronic musician with the recording of new material neatly wrapped up in his debut album entitled “collapse”. recorded in 2015 in brooklyn, ny, mcdowall’s synonymous modular synthesizer compositions are augmented by obtuse sampling cut-ups and contributions from nicky mao (hiro kone / effi briest) rounding out the lumbering sequential knot work that has become synonymous with mcdowall and craft.
the vinyl lp includes a downloadcode for the full album.

no tag no food’ is the third 12-inch from philadelphia-based artist m//r (magnetic resonance) and his first on details sound. after releasing 2014’s well-received ‘gathering response data ep’ on great circles imprint and a single on ron morelli’s l.i.e.s., m//r is back with a strong bundle of four tracks, steadily making his mark on the scene of contemporary techno. this record is a proper electronic weapon, from the slowed down pounding impulse of total burner ‘no tag no food’ to the suspended rhythm of atmospheric idyll which brings the listener into a gravity-free dimension.

2019 repress! the pan-american highway is a network of roads measuring about 48.000 kilometres (30.000 mi) in total length. except for a rainforest break of approximately 100 km (60 mi), called the darién gap, the road links almost all of the mainland nations of the americas in a connected highway system. according to guinness world records, the pan-american highway is the world s longest -motorable road-. however, because of the darién gap, it is not possible to cross between south america and central america by road. the pan-american highway passes through many diverse climates and ecological types, from dense jungles, to arid deserts, some of which are passable only during the dry season, and in many regions driving is occasionally hazardous. jake silverstein, writing in 2006, described the pan-american highway as -a system so vast, so incomplete, and so incomprehensible it is not so much a road as it is the idea of pan-americanism itself-.

dutch powerhouse creme organization started a brand new label entitled jericho one. the man behind the first ep is berlin based brit bnjmn, who has released on label like delsin and rush hour and has a strangely melodic, lo-fi sound. opener skur is a hurried techno jam with frosty textures and bleak industrial vibes. it sets the vibe for the total feeling of the ep which is way more floor facing compared to bnjmn s earlier productions. this is a truly out there and wild ep that once again finds bnjmn experimenting on the outer fringes of the techno world in his own unique, distorted way.

the 5th offering of the label comes from la-based producer sage caswell. sleep quarters ep evokes the paradoxically rushed-yet-laidback duality of his hometown, it s a four-track release equally split between music for the dancefloor and music for dreaming. while the first two tracks strive to balance ambience and dancefloor appeal, the b-side is a total departure into ambient space, with immersive walls of sound and waves of delay

two ambient tracks with a total playtime of 40 minutes. its the first in a 3 part series of vinyl only releases.

baba stiltz returns to his throne at studio barnhus, following the masterful total album released last year. this new 12inch delivers four highly exciting dance tracks straight from the house of flogsta, ready to be worn and torn by all you shameless deejays, robot-curious lovers and funky outcasts out there

van bonn returns to his label van bonn records after releases on labels like traum, trapez and telrae. van bonn s travel to the magic rain forests and lonely beaches of the island borneo inspired him to compose music that takes you by the hand and leads you into the inner beauty of borneo. his new ep delivers two epic tunes with a total playtime of 24 minutes. the original mix is dominated by massive grooves, carefully layered sounds & field recordings from borneo. van bonn takes his time to let the tension rise slowly to finally erupt in a momentum that may remind the listener of krautrock and post-rock. the borneo dub adds a whole new level of deepness to the original track and formulates an atmosphere that can simply be described as fernweh. wether you listen to borneo in a club, on your stereo or with headphones it is always pure and true techno music for your heart, body and soul.

speed painters are a unique collective of musicians who improvise simmering, slow-burning house music, built from a foundation of techno, disco and experimental/found sound.

this compilation comes on four lp s with a total of sixteen tracks. more than twenty artists in the electronic music scene surrounding the neustadtmusik label participated on this project. new artist collaborations were formed, knowledge exchanged and experiments tried. these sixteen tracks are as diverse and interesting as they are to us a valuable outcome of the project. from chillout to rather straight techno, there is a wide variety of electronic music styles represented on the lp s. hence it is worth to take a listen to that compilation for all lovers of electronic music.

steve murphys curiously long shadow casts itself ever further over the realms of gritty house and techno with a barn-storming follow up on the lobster theremin core series, this time ratcheting up the tempo and rhythm to epic levels. shed-esque kicks thunder over asteroid-crumbling basslines, crackling wooden percussion is slammed into the muggy dirt and leaves, seriously filthy, rolling numbers for the all night crew.
*uk treatment* kicks and thumps in all the right places, with a stuttering synth stab loop and vocals giving it some serious peak time currency. *spleen* is all sludgy, skittering mpc business, while *rules* goes off-key chicago and *total recall 2084* swims around, pestered in the mud until a lonely, droning piano key scares away the flanged swarm of wasps and noise.

emerging deep from within the depths of the brooklyn underground. upsetting keys seeks to inform, to educate and inundate. this time they are armed with emotional, unknown electronic structures that originated back in the late 90s. the audio sculptures presented on this release specifically pass somewhere in a shape between total art form and other, much more subliminal and subdued opaque constructs. reade truth, iconic producer of planet e and sonic groove fame, rewinds all the way back to his first imprint, reintroducing to the public to the elusive and oft hyped path records.
