Techno News

Done and dusted! That could have been the motto of the WPBH series back when it started as an offshoot for sample-based house experiments by the core We Play House Recordings crew.
However, according to Discogs WPBH is NOT a real label, so who are we to invent mottos for imaginary labels?

But as we digress the music hits us hard and straight up. Uit De Hoogte brings us rawness...and then some. A touch of Dance Mania, a hint of smoothness, a dose of drum machine magic and a whole lot of attitude. Five tracks to stir up your dancefloor, your body and your soul. On a label that does not exist... How underground can one get?!

Coming up on WPH & related further in the year will be new material by Red D on his Red Basics outlet, more WPH U.S. Series and possibly also some stuff they don’t yet know about themselves.

Binary Digit’s second EP on new label Zeitnot. Five club-ready cuts encompassing acid, electro and techno. On the A side you have two fast paced 135+ acid electro tracks in the form of Crook Acid and Sneaking out of the club.

Untitled 38490 conjures up images of euphoric rave house whilst Untitled 2 goes for a straight up DMX Krew electro vibe.

More bangers from man like Cromby, this time with a slightly darker twist. Support from all the big guns, plays on BBC Radio 1, etc. Don't miss!

Next in the Potency series, Cromby shows his darker side with 3 cuts of his brand of House and Techno.

December ’22, armed with a simple piece of kit, Uit de Hoogte goes on retreat in Cadzand-Bad to make an ambient album about sea, sex and sun.

Heavy acid bangers. The story continues for Planet Rhythm's 303 series.

Acid Reflux is an EP compiled by Acid Adams that focuses on acid sounds from different times, genres and genders. The journey starts with the deep and melodic excursions by Nihilist and softcoresoft before we enter a sweaty basement to get lost to rough and punchy tracks by ADSX and Ida Bux. On both sides, a track from the 90s (which has never been released on vinyl before) is followed up by a new composition that was inspired by its predecessor and has been produced especially for this release. Since the 90s-tracks are exclusively by male producers, the concept tries to balance this era-inherent state of affairs with the fact that the new tracks are solely by finta* artists. On a meta-level, this release is about connecting times, genres and genders, beyond forms of binary thinking. The record comes in a reused sleeve from the 90s with a fresh logo sticker designed by Frieedland and a promo sheet like back in the days.

Zillas on Acid don’t hold back on their Neubau debut release, offering four brute tracks that could easily also work for soundtracking a dystopian science fiction movie.

Detachment Records is back with a split EP from two hardware antiheroes, Boneless One (FI) and Real Motherfuckers Don't Talk Shit! (DE). This 4 track EP will ful¦ll all your emotional and physical needs from healing house pianos to straight forward acid disco grooves and jazzy gazes from the abyss.

Overthink Records start the new repress series with this gem from Bryan Zentz as Bryan Never, originally released on Psychoactive Records in 1997.

Dark Rooms EP is the perfect combination of the sound of electro, breaks & techno with a touch of ambient (in the track A3).

Hard hitting analog and Warehouse friendly Techno & Acid tracks from The Exaltics.

Four trax of filthy warehouse techno featuring two fast and furious bombs from Spanish underground whizz-kid Seon - "Fuck The Church" already garnering a cult following with it's cheeky sample. Co-Ax and Pest control go dark and dirty with the clanging "Saturated", whilst Technika funks it up on "It's Alive!".

Flight Mode's second release of the year has arrived. Get ready for a powerful V/A that brings together the artistic visions of four producers rooted in Switzerland, the label's birthplace.

Originally released on Firstcask Records 2006 played by a dj like Aphex Twin at Field Day 2023, Ceephax essential oils ! Acid Varsity !

Central Intelligence does his magic on the new Time To Panic release.

This Jensen Interceptor classic is finally getting it's due on wax and reinforcements have been called in with remixes from The Advent & Zein Ferreira, DJ Godfather, Exzakt BFX & Salome.

Ladies & gentlemen,

We hereby bring forth a series of purified strains and upgraded weapons from a pulparallel world.

It all started with a circular piece of bronze 10” vinyl which, 3 years later, deserved to be recornditioned. Therefore, we’ve revisited said piece with the intention to bring levels of euphoria to yet another level. Cut and pressed on 12” vinyl for longer grooves and optimal DJ performability.

In other words, when PULPCORN001 is a star, PURECORN001 is a black hole.

Own at your own risk.

The label launches these series to feature lengthier projects on the imprint because you don't see often many LP’s from mainly DJ-oriented labels, but not this time. The release is guiding you through the dark & rough night with all tastes packed in it created by 8 artists from different corners of the globe. Get funky and sweaty so then you can lose yourself in a thick black fog. These series kick off with exceptionally rude and trusty prime-time warhorses, which are waiting for you on this double. Just clean your dirty needles y'all vinyl junkies.

Alden Tyrell dusts of the Roland MC202 MicroComposer for a 6 track EP based around just the one synth. Easily floating between techno, electro, IDM and ambient this collection shows the versatility of the machine and the producer. MC-202 MICRO COMPOSER The MC-202 is a 2 channel microcomposer incorporating a monophonic synthesizer and offers a total memory capacity of 2600 steps (approx. 150 measures with 8 steps in each measure). Also the display window tells you how many more steps you may enter. The LCD indicates the current information or tempo, etc. A beep wil be heard if the operation has been done correctly.

Part 1 of a retrospective of sorts, compiled from dozens of unreleased tracks from literally two decades of producing, these gems were collecting dust in the vaults of Ekman. Evocative and eerie electro from the Dutch master. We think we can let the music speak for itself in this case, as it's unique and instantly recognizable.

A geniune collection of dubs from DATs courtesy of Downlink, slow cooked in a dusty drawer since 1997. A1 was originally released on Mosaic and stays true to the dub techno sound which defined the label while the other tracks have never seen the light of day until now. If gritty acid workouts are your cup of tea then look no further. The A side features a printed artwork from San Francisco based artist Klari Reis.

The Next Release In The 303 Series Is Here. These 'unknown' Artists Have Put Their Legendary Roland Tb-303's To Good Use. The Results Speak For Themselves: 4 Driving Acid Bangers. Pressed On Transparent Vinyl.

The Sound of the Oresund Part I. The Oresund area, sometimes known as 'Greater Copenhagen' is the area both sides of the Oresund strait. Famous for its bridge between Sweden and Denmark, the area is also a hotspot for electronic artists. In this series we aim to present some of the best underground and leftfield Acid, Electro and Techno artists the area has to offer. We start the compilation with the dystopic sound of Dungeon Acid and his track 485aCid (an obscure reference to a pantone we are told) either way, the track is pure evil genius and as usual Dungeon Acid delivers his unique take on things. Next up is Brutal B's founder Nimam with a track called 'Baffighars Nest'. It's an fm bass trip with a sound somewhat reminiscent of early techno with his own slight industrial twist. On the flip we start out with another electro infused futureacid jam from Dinsync and Nimam, otherwise known of course as Helltown Acid Militia. The track 'Pearl' has pounding 909 kicks and spaced out synth stabs, backed as usual by less than obvious 303 lines. Finishing up the cut and between DJ'ing and writing texts for Borft releases we are finally happy to welcome Joakim Cosmo to the label (he's been hanging around the office a lot lately) with his italo flavored 'Guilt Free'

The ufo has landed for another time to bring you the rawest
electro sounds to earth. Vaust is the name of our alien
brother from cologne. A real 'Tausendsassa' when it's about
music. Three breakdance/subway party banger to make
windmills on and on. Includes a geniusly produced IDM
emix by Dust Control. The perfect record to bring celestial
vibes into your dance§oor.

BufoBufo (Klasse Wrecks, Dream Ticket, Cabaret) and Qeta (Further Electronix, Wave Function, brokntoys) join forces for an eight track split LP, diving into aquatic synths, sliding breakbeats and amphibious atmospheres. Moving from the galactic leads and drum & bass tempo of BufoBufo’s ‘Caloris Basin’ to the dreamy melodies and trip-hop beats of Qeta’s ‘Art II’ , it ends on the expansive, horizon-gazing tones of their collaboration ‘Gloaming’, all shimmering interwoven bleeps and hefty breaks.

Michael Diekmann from Morphology, here under his CRC alias with a high quality acidic breakbeat EP. Limited copies and printed sleeve.

More 303 madness from the likes of Tik Tok feat. Lady Reload on the A-side and Mobile Dogwash on the flip!

There is a certain type of weird effect that is generated by strange, repetitive loops. Ultrastation, the new project of Utrecht veterans Cosmic Force and Nuno Dos Santos, know this well.

The two have teamed up to deliver '4723 EP' and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have them on board, joining our Discos Atónicos family.

Expect four slabs of intergalactic pounding, cosmic modulations, deep resonances, repetitive bleeps and strange atmospheres: a kind of 'technoide soundtrack from outer space'.

Let's dance outside the laws of gravity.
