from celome, a musical project crafted by hugo morin, a new producer born and raised in lyon/france. the 12 inch starts with the title track >violence was magnified< followed by marco faraones pounding remix. the b-side opens with the zenker brothers remix of >the final experiment< which is the second original on the release. celome is perpetually seeking for innovative sounds, and he makes a point of emphasizing sound design thanks to immersive cinematic soundscapes.

next on noorden is white afghani with his debut release »kaleidoscope ep«. the up-and-coming producer from cologne drops a dancefloor focussed five tracker between leftfield flavoured breakbeat and ambient leaning big room techno.

as proprietors of the will & ink label, yaleesa hall & malin genie have been maintaining a busy and consistent release schedule of top notch techno sounds, largely releasing their own, well received, productions. the duo appeared on hypercolours 10 years compilation in 2016 with the excellent buchan trap, and weve been blessed to secure a full single release with the on-point pair. the mechanical funk of artin swings with plenty of assured groove, the shuffling hats, dense kicks and dubby stabs that ping pong across this fierce production mark this out as a real killer cut. dario & marco zenker, aka the zenker brothers, take time out from their busy ilian tape operations to remix artin into a brutal yet funky techno goliath. congas perpetually roll forward, with frenetic 909 hats and raw and ready stabs in what may well be one of the zenkers finest remixes to date. the essence of funk continues in hall & malins music, with cahen, a great slab of compelling techno that never slips too far into darkness, instead keeping an ever evolving groove and some abstract drone like synthesis to keep the mood buoyant. wrapping up the release is brown, a track that finishes as urgently as it starts, perhaps with a cap doffed to the purpose maker sounds of a certain jeff mills, but broadening the palette to allow some trippy sound architecture and an effective breakdown mid way through. modern day techno supplied by a duo that will most certainly flourish over the coming months, yaleesa hall & malin deliver the goods aplomb on this hypercolour single.

soma’s italian connection, roberto clementi, makes a welcome return opening his 2016 account with the solid, “wall of people”. including a top notch remix form ilian tape label heads, marco & dario zenker. robert has slowly been building his credentials in the techno world with some fine releases and this driving number is another to add to increasing discography with soma.
the zenker brothers remix opens the ep as the munich based duo lend their deep and highly refined production talents to “wall of people”. ruptured beats play havoc with a shimmering high end and rattling percussive elements all tied in with a pulsing, modulating synth hook that keep the track feeling fairly dark. clementi’s original shows a much harder edge to his previous work with big, sub heavy beats worked around a more pumped up rhythm and tearing synth line

marcel dettmann verabschiedet sich von 50weapons mit -activator-, einem broken-techno dj tool dessen sound-design nur so von dettmannscher ingenieurskunst strotzt. dunkle synths verleihen dem ganzen noch den psychedelischen touch, der diesen track sowohl in der peaktime als tool, wie auch auf der afterhour zu einer tödlichen waffe macht. begleitet wird dettmann mit dem 50weapons-debüt von dem wahrscheinlich am meisten gefeierten newcomer techno-duo aus münchen, den zenker brothers. -namuan- ist ein bayrischer smack-techno-track von feinster sorte, drum-programmierung steht hier zwar im vordergrund, allerdings hat die fläche, die sich langsam hereinschiebt, schon so einige arme in die luft gerissen

munich’s zenker brothers arrive on index marcel fengler for the first time with pollioni, a four-track ep that captures the unique style that has brought the duo acclaim over a string of releases for tresor and their own ilian tape label since they combined their considerable production talents as a dual force in dextrous, charismatic techno.

we are very happy to present our first album on ilian tape.

now, the zenker brothers are back with their first release for tresor, brandishing a matured sound and level of sensitivity yet displayed by either before. *lion in mars* is like a fresh breeze billowing through the tresor vaults. honing in on signatures from the archive and repackaging them in modern sentiment, here zenker brothers deliver a record that gleans through the generations to deliver a cunning symbiosis of techno future, past and present. on the a-side *knighthof* and *the future is you* offer driving vintage basement techno with a zenker twist, whilst b-side tracks *davin* and *cosmilian*, the eps clattering dystopic closer, blend detroit tones together with their respective ilian-proven pallets.

the zenker brothers grew up in munich, but in 1996 they moved to the countryside and their first adress outside of the bavarian capital was berg 10. shortly after that they got their first dog inti, he smelled like hell, but he was the loveliest dog you can imagine. although it was an intense change and not that easy at the beginning to move from a big city to a village with 5 houses, it was a really important experience for the brothers. and there was so much to discover: the beautiful mountains, lakes and forests, the local football team, the heavy bavarian accent and simply the different mentality on the countryside. all things they would never want to miss, but it was just a question of time to go back to the city. we are proud to present the first record from dario & marco. enjoy!

after the successful zenker brothers record, we continue with a solo record by dario zenker. it sounds like dario bought some healthy food, went to mcdonalds and i ate it there to provoke some marketing campaign against intensive livestock farming. we know for a fact that he has an unlimited love for good food, dirty old school hip hop, porn, broken beats and kung fu by the way. his flat on the 5th floor gets a lot of light during the summer and also heats up a lot. can you smellthe sweat? speaking of sweat, you should check out inner circles sweat. instead of a proper high 5, we would even give 6 for this one! oh what a bad way of trying to make some sense with the track title... but honestly give 6 is a hard one. well i guess its time to stop writing some weird shit and start listening...

ganz schön krause hier ! dario hat bestimmt schon mal von den wighnomy brothers gehört, addiert aber zu diesem einfluss noch seine eigene note hinzu und beschert uns damit ein ausgewogenes minimal pake

there smokes and whistles in zenker’s machine jungle. the best loved and best known brothers of the techno scene are causing a multi-layered schwirbler, which is likely to destroy many dancefloor lasting for years. jelly3000 are essika and andreas damaschun. “wave a wand” is lashed forward by a powerful-impulsive arp, while synths and piano dances light-footed about it and spreads a sustained mood. kessel vale has recently caused quite a stir with two eps on tanstaafl planets and rhythm nation. “stroke” should further expand its reputation as an idiosyncratic excellent producer with a penchant for the playful. steril – that artist you may know from international deejay gigolo records, erkrankung durch musik, schamoni musik, lasergun and müller records…oldschool.

troy gunner continues to strengthen his new imprint gunner with a second self-released title. having had 001 hotly-tipped by the likes of ra, dj mag and mixmag - plus a plethora of dj support from hodge, zenker brothers, john osborn, carl craig and moxie to name but a few, gunner stays firmly on track with another trio of armoured uk-techno tracks packed with chilly atmospherics and gnarly drums.

r&s proudly presents brand new signing felix manuel aka djrum. djrum is a perennially acclaimed underground artist, since his first release in 2010 whos quietly built a list of fans that reads like a whos who of contemporary dance music. as an artist, djrum has formed a reputation for his unique fusion of a range of genres ranging from jazz, hip hop and dubstep to ambient and techno. his music swells with oceanic bass laded beats, cavernous atmospherics and deeply emotive melodies. an accomplished dj his compositional approach feels like a natural collage of his influences which has seen him release for the likes of the zenker brothers ilian tape imprint as well as the influential 2nd drop label, plus remixes for ninja tune and domino. felix now steps up to the plate at r&s with one of his most visionary releases to date. deeply meditative melodies twist and turn through stuttering rhythms and pulsing low bass, hypnotic pads and woozy atmospherics. manuels music somehow manages to retains the urgency and dynamic pressure of the dance floor with the intimacy and elegant detailing of the best headphone music. a natural fit for r&s, there is a full length djrum album in the pipeline in 2018 - looks like its going to be an exciting year ahead.

berlin producer troy gunner marks a new step in an ascendant career with the introduction of his very own imprint. simply titled ‘gunner’, this project will be predominantly vinyl-focused and will act as a platform for his own productions as well selected peers. it kicks off with 3 of his own tracks - all of which carrying a chilly quality whilst bearing troy s distinctive blend of stiff drums, heady atmospheres and muscular low end. support from resident advisor, dj mag, mixmag, zenker brothers, moxie, hodge, mickey pearce, xxxy, mj cole, john osborn, brendon moeller, carl craig, ivan smagghe, woz, christian martin, claude vonstroke, gorgon city, groove armada, tensnake, james zabiela, richy ahmed, my nu leng, altered natives, danny tenaglia, horse meat disco, huxley, phaeleh, gene farris, eddie temple-morris, shadow child + many more.

zur feier ihres zweiten albums -othona- lassen dark sky zwei ihrer aktuellen tracks remixen. hier kommt ein abgebrühtes dancefloor-doppel mit freundlichen grüßen aus miami und münchen. omnidisc-labelchef danny daze übernimmt das atmosphärische -the walker-, schraubt das intensitätslevel ganz weit nach oben und lässt seinen düster pulsierenden, langen aufbau in einem slammenden ebm-finale aufgehen. münchens erste techno-sahne, die zenker brothers, bauen -kilter- um, mit herrlichen breakbeats, brutzelnden industrial-texturen und melodischen versatzstücken des originals. perfekt auf den punkt, anders hätte man das nicht erwartet.

dys functional electronic music is a compilation release from repitch recordings, celebrating the label’s first five years. its ambivalent title aims to represent the sonic behaviour of its content, often deviating from norms or distancing itself from common club functionalism. for this release, the 3 repitch masterminds ascion, d. carbone and shapednoise are joined by a selection of the artists who contributed shaping the repitch sound throughout the years, along with guests that inspired them in this adventure. during the past 5 years the main focus of the label was to set up a platform for experimentations across the dancefloor canon, establishing a standout musical identity. a spirit that resonates within each artist’s personal approach: from ascion’s dark breakbeats to the exaltics and and’s acid frontalism, shapednoise’s brooding noise, sote’s fractured rave, d. carbone and gaja’s intrusions into melody, pinch and the zenker brothers’ dub-infused atmospherics, skudge’s love of gloom and nuel’s idm-ish minimalism

repress 2017 , following a killer split 12inch w/ djrum for the zenker brothers ilian tape label, new artist struction debuts for r&s newcomer struction joins the r&s family for a titanic ep of dystopian post-rave experimentation - the 4 track release, entitled gefüge, effortlessly crystallises the best parts of r&ss storied musical heritage without coming off like pastiche. from the jacked menace of opener kreen, a dizzying percussive assault of breakbeats and 808 kicks, its clear that struction means business. warrior follows on with deep end breakbeats cut through with melancholic synth washes. the flip side commences with ai, all skittering percussion, swelling distorted pads and relentless kick drum thrum, while dolly rounds out the release in fine style, quickening the pulse with its hypnotic fm bass polyrhythms, scything cymbals and icy strings. with this release struction marks himself as one to watch very closely for the future, as well as once again showing r&ss commitment to nurturing new talent, as well as releasing the best cutting edge electronic music.

third instalment of the unknown entity series, this ep delivers four tracks of science fiction and horror soundtrack inspired techno. the a side is dominated by two floor ready cuts, lurching thumper feart and a devastatingly broken remix by serbian producer scalameriya. side b trips into leftfield territory with sleep deprived creeper peripheral visions. the serbian connection continues with lag delivering an offkilter franticly driving reworking of the original.

nach seinem letztjährigen album -puffer- und der ep -4friendz- (beide 2015) beweist die neue ep -thru infinity- die reife des jungen bayrischen produzenten scntst, der mit einer vielfalt an produktionsstyles überzeugt. für die remixes zeichnen seine bayrischen landsleute, das brüderpaar zenker brothers, sowie der chicagoer afrofuturist hieroglyphic being verantwortlich.

hotflush are proud to introduce an exciting young artist, pyur, along with her singular debut lp epoch sinus. despite her relative newness, pyur meets the world with fully formed and unique signatures in both visual and sonic work, revealing a deep artistry that transcends medium. growing up in munich, in and amongst the same fecund scene that spawned artists like the zenker brothers and skee mask, pyur cut her teeth from a young age as a guitarist and singer before becoming spellbound by the electronic world’s endless scope for sound design. endowed with innately strong synaesthesia and reared in a shamanic household, she tells how music “played the biggest role in my growth. it alone had the purpose to help me dissolve boundaries, discover the beauty of life’s mechanisms, create freely. it talked. soon i felt like the music was making me, not the other way round.” epoch sinus is a seamless and heartfelt whole, a life-like being unto itself, describing the disintegration of barriers between the self and the all. here pyur offers an intimate and personal statement, combining knowledge of universal harmony with electronic music. she states: “i m mainly influenced by my inner visions and nature itself, yet also a lot from club culture, which is undoubtedly an important space of connection and freedom for so many people”. the record dances playfully between supposedly incompatible qualities: moments of brutality turn to softness, new life embraces decomposition, while explosive rhythmic and melodic structures are tempered with gentle and subtle percussion.

bergen’s christian tilt returns to norwegian label ploink with his debut album ‘alt skjedde jæla fort’ this september. norwegian christian tilt’s dedication to techno over the last two decades has securely placed him in high ranks to play alongside the likes of the zenker brothers, margaret dygas and ploink label head thomas urv at clubs such as berghain, jaeger and Østre - all in the last year. here though we see christian tilt make a return to ploink for a second time with a five track lp comprised of an intricate cross-section of syncopated rhythms and dubbed-out techno. ‘dos were the days’ slowly builds hi-hats and punchy kick drums, before a deep-synth melody drives the composition forward. up next is the stripped back ‘btl’ that combines otherworldly aesthetics with a steady bass rattle throughout, before the gritty ‘a visit from france’ unleashes a dark low-end, murky synth drones and frantic pad sequences. a relentless 9 minute affair titled ‘i only work late nights’ then swells and pulsates over an unremitting beat, before ‘Øreverk’ rounds off the package with frenzied clangs, muted hits and rhythmic percussion.

its been a long hot summer for dext a string of quality releases and remixes from the likes of alden tyrell, bodyjack, the zenker brothers, lo shea and oli furness plus a label showcase at privilege in ibiza. only 4 releases in, the label has fast established itself as a standout player in the game.

sheffields techno spearhead lo shea returns for his second release in 2015, served with a zenker brothers remix out on dext recordings.

we are proud to welcome simple & thigpen (aka helix) from detroit & a small town in southeast georgia on ilian tape for their first collaboration eva. as peanut butter is a national dish in the usa since ages, every real american knows how to lick and swallow it the perfect way. so here we go with a 134 bpm swangler that funks from your backyard trying to get your arm hard while you are playing a bit of dart! freak seven from manchester is transforming the original from ying to yang through adding his personal slang while designing men strings with jewelry for alexander wang. and last but not least the zenker brothers adding their incomparable dust in which you all hopefully trust. hugs & slugs from the bavarian headquarters of love.

fragil is a strong new label with great identity and excellent releases ahead. the label is developing an original, deep and trippy music with wide influences going from house to techno music. the aim is above all to share a quality music that explores different universes of >dance music< as well as to research and promote strong musical personality artists. fragil music was created by vinyl passionates and will always release records. the project is already supported by artists such as mikael stavöstrand, butane, marcelus, tom ellis, anthony collins, efdemin, yakine, kasper, king britt, hrdvision, le loup, brothers vibe, moodymanc, osunlade dario zenker and many more

big with: sebo k, ryan crosson, dario zenker, lee burridge, shlomi aber, seth troxler, lee curtiss, brothers vibe, reboot, karotte, dubfire, mathias kaden, ellen allien, ame, joris voorn, .. italian born alex picone has been an integral member of the bass culture family since the label launch. his thai ep, our second release, found critical acclaim from both djs and dance press. backed by its chris carrier remix, the ep gathered strong support from the likes of loco dice, luciano, tiefschwarz, dj hell, ame and more. alex was soon following his ep, with a remix for arnaud le texier on ivory machine ep from bcr005. again receiving huge praise and support from his peers. when hes not at the helm of the bass culture express, alex can be found releasing work on such highly acclaimed labels as cadenza, bosconi and tenax. whilst his output may not be as prolific as some, each and every release stands the test of time. this may be down to alexs unique and unnerving ability to cross genres, however we feel its simply down to the unrivalled quality of his productions. a quality that is once again in evidence on his, en pensant ep. four wonderfully varied original cuts and a summery phil weeks remix that range from the smooth as silk, vocal-lead title track, to the deep and elegantly twisted coco verde.
