After a successful 2011 releasing his sound on labels such as Rejected and Area Remote, Mark presents his debut single for Saved called "Sacrifice". The track possesses a catchy, old school style bassline running along deep punding kicks and bright hats. The vocal takes centre stage and guides people towards the drop with the synths adding extra energy to the production. On the flip side is a re-work from the legendary Terrence Parker dishing up the usual high standard of additional production

Acid Minimal techno, Mark Hawkins hidden projects... pressed on his own new label. Autoprod.

This " Minimal Elements " contains 10 elektro minimal tunes ( all unmixed versions ), selected by DJ Moses T . Great project !!!

Formed in 2007 this duo's DJing and production skills have gone from strength to strength.

Starting out on FLING Recordings, their first release 'Miniminds' was supported by Mr C, being played in DC10 all summer followed by a Radio 1 Essential Selection airplay by Pete Tong. Later down the line 'Xoe' was used by Mason in his Radio 1 Essential Mix.

As their profile gets stronger the two watch the success of their tracks grow at an enormous rate and are increasingly finding themselves being asked to do more and more remixes for labels whilst working on their own productions. With releases out on FLING RECORDINGS, HEDGEHOG RECORDS, 8 SIDED DICE RECORDING, DATA RECORDS, ACIITONE, MIJA RECORDINGS and recent releases on Umek's Label 1605 MUSIC THERAPY things can only get better!!!

Their productions have been getting regular support from DJs such as Len Faki, Laurent Garnier, Stephan Bodzin, Dubfire, Carl Cox, Marco Bailey, Tony Rios, Joey Beltram, Dave Robertson, Mistress Barbara, Alan Fitzpatrick, Slam, Tiefschwarz, Joseph Capriati, Danton Eeprom, Lee Burridge, Joel Mull, Sian, Umek, James Zabeila, Ewan Pearson, Mauro Picotto and many more.

The two have seen the proof of their success in numerous top magazine reviews and many of their releases making it into the Juno and Beatport Top 100 charts.

As their calendar fills up with regular bookings in Ireland and also recently being made Residents of Superclub SHINE & THE STIFF KITTEN, playing alongside big Artists such as Adam Beyer, Sven Vath, Len Faki, Josh Wink, Oliver Huntemann, Mauro Picotto, Green Velvet, Paul Ritch, Cassy, Luke Dzierzek, Phil Kieran, Matador, Redshape and Psycatron, this is a DJ act that you should not take your eye off for one second in 2010. With so many more productions in the pipeline and endless amounts of fresh ideas, drive and ambition it is without a doubt that Miniminds will be blowing the minds of clubbers around the world in the near future!

With his latest release 'drive-by' mix mup suspends the principle of causal relation. together we travel down a road that has lost its destination. the road becomes the actual reason for our motion. past connecting elements we cruise from one possible interpretation to the next: a view from a car. click. nighttime, being on the move. click. before or after the accident click.- mix mup offers us a plot on the way from A to B, which could be a piece of a secret, perhaps even a great story. in order to decide on this, we must lose ourselves first. lose ourselves in disorder and early sorrow.

Deep floating techno with a remix by Donato Dozzy!

Owain K from Wales is starting his new deeper techno and hi-tech soul project [KTRL] on 200 Records.
Title track A1 "Colonius" brings together brash filtered rhythms, towering chords, haunting melodies and
pumping bass - a jam of epic proportions. Followed by the smooth chords of 'Aufstieg' on A2, this deeply soul
fuelled ride sweeps you to the next level. Inspired by the classic sounds of Lil Louis, flipside B1 'Bützchen'
pays homage to a true school master with its warm embrace and layered melodies. Finishing off in style,
the old school vibes of B2 'Offen' makes way for a slow bass driven groove that builds through dub influenced
synth washes and filtered sweeps.

We here at Thema are proud to be staring down five years of history—all the while with our sights locked in, waiting patiently for the right moment to launch this very special project—and we feel now is the time to unleash this beast. Its main purpose is to release pure sonic explorations, straight up techno for a new era and will be a vinyl-only affair aimed at all you true DJs out in the trenches, who appreciate the real thing. So for this momentous occasion, we have invited a field-tested Thema solider, Terrence Dixon, or as he shall be known here: Population One, one of his rarely used alias'. Yes, we know Terrence can and has drawn from the whole spectrum of electronic music, as he displayed in his well received 'Parkhurst EP' for Thema last year. But for this project the focus is on pure adulterated techno. So it is with great pride that we announce Population One with 'The Return', a rare chance to witness a visionary make history once again. A new chapter has begun: Chronicle.

Searle comes back to Mowar for his second release. While his Mind Transfer ep was a darker workout, his new She Moves ep show a deeper dubbed side of his productions. The title track perfectly combines the dub aesthetics and simple Basic Channel effectiveness with sweet infatuating stabs and scapes. This one's for the deeper and more sensual moments on the dancefloor. 'Melancholy' goes even deeper emotionally layering a steady slightly jacking rhythm with edgy melancholic atmospherics and melodies. On the flipside Russ Gabriel, who remixed on the very first Mowar release back in 2008, reworks 'She Moves' in a stripped hypnotic mover, slightly more thumping for those sexy hips. Last track 'Tunneling' is what Searle would call a 5 am groover for the die-hards who want to be embraced by the sensuality of deep emotional techno.

Am Anfang schuf Gott die Bassdrum.
Er ließ sie 8601 Tage schlagen. Dann ließ er sie weg.
Das größte Kunstwerk ist der Tod sagte der liebe Gott.
Und der ist teuer.

Endlich Unendlich. Das ist Politik und Wissenschaft und Kunst.
Die Kunst des Weglassens. Die Kunst des Verweigerns.
Der Tod ist absolut.
Die Bassdrum ist absolut.
Wollt ihr die absolute Bassdrum

Wenn du ihn überzeugen kannst leiht Gott dir gerne seine Axt,
denn er will ja dass was passiert.
Genau wie die Leute.
Die wollen ja auch das was passiert.

Das teuerste Kunstwerk der Welt ist ein mit 8601 Diamanten
besetzter Totenkopf.

More than often, musicians feel that releasing music is giving birth to a baby but no one knows better than women. Stefny Winter realizes a dream by putting out a collection of meaningful tracks, all made in various important moments of her life. More so, some of the tracks were made while she was pregnant, making this project even more special to her. Coming from the 90's as a DJ who would juggle between styles, Stefny explores with no compromises or time stamp, her various tastes through time. "Wind Walker" becomes a savory collage of music that won't really stick to standard styles but will become familiar to any ears.

Spanish hot shot producer Tadeo delivers an excellent EP on Micropunto. Top of the bill Techno with enough dept and staggering riffs. This also includes and outstanding NX1 rework and the well orchestrated ''The Gate'' on the B side. Another MPS essential for real techno heads worldwide.

s one of the most successful artists in contemporary Techno Music Hendrik Weber aka Pantha Du Prince presents his new studio project together with Workshop's Stephan Abry: URSPRUNG.

After several studio sessions in the cold and charming winter of the Swiss Alps, Abry and Weber were driven deeper and deeper into some microcosm of sound to almost cut the edge to the myth. Influenced by Krautrock, the Ambient Music of Harold Budd and early Brian Eno, Avantgarde, and the minimalistic guitar sound of Durutti Collumn the URSPRUNG project can't resist to make the guitar a main source. coming together with highly futuristic sounds as we know from the researches of Pantha Du Prince. A truly unconventional structure of slowly growing beats hold this universe which came from the cold mountains together.

Im Frühling 2012 kehren WALLS zurück, mit eigener UK-Tour und - Coracle Remixed', einer Sammlung ausgewählter Remixe von einigen der besten Elektronik-Tüftler zur Zeit, u.a. John Tejada, Holy Other, Perc und Voigt & Voigt.
WALLS' - Coracle' traf auf eine bereits durch das selbstbetitelte Debüt-Album bestens eingestimmte Hörerschaft und erzielte wie jenes einen Platz auf der alljährlichen Album-Bestenliste von Mojo, begleitet von einer Flut begeisterter Print- und Online-Reviews (Highlights siehe unten). Das Duo hat seine gefeierten, nur mit Hardware gespielten Live-Shows bereits als Support-Act für Battles und zusammen mit Labelkollegen The Field durch Europa und Amerika getragen, doch jetzt wird es Zeit für eine eigene UK/EU-Tour (Daten untenstehend) um das neue Album angemessen zu präsentieren.

Two more live jams mixed canned and pressed. Wbeeza has been hassled wherever he goes to release these.

finally repressed

If you were to ask Freedarich to state the artistic area he prefers working in, his shotgun answer would most probably be music with all its influences". What amuses and enthuses me most, is the subtly absurd introduction of different styles Freedarich says about himself.

a few weeks after the " subdoubt ep " and its remute remix, the french label pilbus records has decided to strike hard with this new ep, offering us great tracks by nathan hell, who took part of the label adventure a few months ago.

supported & played by: Ivan Smagghe, Perc, Chris Fortier, Delon & Dalcan, Liz Cirelli, Blood & Tears, Pierce, Terje Bakke

Akufen is back in great shape with some new original material for his own label
Musique RisquÈe, the only label where you can find these unidentified musical
objects. Five tracks of swinging melodic madness like only Akufen can craft. If these
songs donít brIng you a smile, well, too bad for you.

To mark the label's 50th release Marc Houle gets right back to basics with two raw, stripped down future classics. What's more both vinyl cuts, 'Techno Vocals' and 'On I t' clock in at under six minutes meaning that this compact 12inch's sound and message is going to be coming through extra loud and clear. On 'Techno Vocals' (as with all Houle productions) each sound is perfectly realised, commanding its own space with metronomic discipline. The rigid drum patterns, analogue explosions, regimented snare rolls, laser guided effects and delayed bleeps interact with supreme efficiency, while the arrangement is mapped out with cool, calculated intent.
