pærer, fresh label from france, influenced by detroit pioneers, uk experiments and berlin vibe, aims to promote the deep and experimental sides of techno. the first ep is a distant trip into a spatial atmosphere, combining percussive beats and perfect raw mixtures. an entrance in a deepness and grainy world, where you can feel the ground humming... include tracks by voice of sylenth (oscil8), untitled signal, jiman (nowhere, forsaken cell, singular) and a remix by birth of frequency (construct re-form, enemy records, concrete). enjoy!

house and breaks

framework recordings is back with a very special, limited run vinyl ep that features five fantastic artists in oliv, o’hana, blurred, fred and ground16, and deep house doesn’t come much finer. first up is the low key oliv, part of the heady party collective bedford crew. his ‘submarine cruise’ is an effortlessly atmospheric dub house track. sandy shakers, balmy pads and an astral lead synth line all ooze underground class. o’hana is another emerging producer with an already well formed sound. his gorgeous ‘lune’ is another prime bit of deep house with analogue kicks and hits, subtle vocal samples and cavernous pads that melt into the horizon.
blurred are a young italian pair from labels like lapsus, safe music and hotfingers and keep up the cultured dub house vibe with more deeply enveloping grooves and dusty hits. the chords here are smeared in the background and sure to find favour with the more intimate dance floors out there. then it’s to impressive new swiss artist fred for ‘mw.’ it’s deep and house-y again, but this time it drives forward on huge kicks, with acid lines and icy hi hats bringing the energy while yawning synths soften the edges. closing out a tasteful package are swiss pair ground16 with ‘3rd street.’ cosmic in nature and with wide open pads, this house groove is another analogue beauty with warmth, smart vocal snippets and dreamscape pads. these are timeless deep house cuts that are deceptively simple and superbly executed.

limited edition vinyl
2017 is set to be a defining year for the addictive behaviour imprint. over the past few months the label has truly found its sound and is dishing it out relentlessly in the months ahead with multiple parties lining up alongside some boundary pushing music. their second release of the year sees the predominantly tech-roller outfit return to vinyl ventures with a 3 track wax ep of epic proportions, mysteriously titled new age myths .

on its sixth chapter, sticky ground releases a petrol-black dropped tape cassette compilation, packed in a straight-from-the-90’s rave case that includes 14 tracks of different varieties of great raw, pounding techno that stretches from acid trips to industrial bangers along with great grooves and soundscapes. this is sticky ground folks. featuring: Æmris, ancestor, anthro, blurred boy, curled, illnurse, kernel panic, leaf eater, moth, scase, scenedrone, the pharos project, tomas kunkel, tpx
