HRDvsion – Stroke implies different things. Different strokes for different folks. Not to spoil, but there is a Luke vs. Darth dynamic here. So let’s just keep it at that. Bring it on Death Star!

Joannes – Ow_kay, Joannes got that Wagwan thang going on. Rolling thunder under the hood, sprinkled with some breaks and reverbed. Yeah, it’s that hands in the air moment. Package includes a big phat breakdown.

Orson Wells – If War of the Worlds had a contemporaneous soundtrack, this would be on it. Electro-breaks, tunnel vision, planets colliding. Do not fear us, we come in peace.

Rydim (Part of ItaloJohnson Trio) – This got that nasty boompty. Think of Derrick Carter remixing Gemini remixing Derrick May. Can I have a bump, to straighten things out? Mit ein kleines bisschen acid?

VENDi has prepared for you the first UZVAR. Three Tracks. They are like life moments - whether they make you happy or sad, they always bear the magic, one of its kind, and give new inspiring emotions! You'll also find the remix from YA.SVET.

Fasten Musique is pleased to welcome a resident dj of VBX and A&R of the record label Ferro to the family for our 14th release. We are kicking off 2020 with a strong and pure 3 original minimal tracks which are surely hitting on the dance floor. Ltd Copies / Vinyl Only.

After the first two amazing releases, Handcrafted present their third vinyl "A LO SUYO" composed an forceful track by Cicuendez, which has been remixed by the artists Javier Carballo, Inner and Patrice Meiner.

Shed Remix – This one is made for cardiovascular shit. Best used in dark basements, group gatherings, fire-dances (think Rothschild Surrealist shindigs), but can do wonders for your lower back and thighs, if surrounded with thugs and nasty guys.

Reformed Society Remix – This goes down the threaded path of classic Motor-city tech. That famed conveyer belt gave us the best combination of man and machine. And here it works quite well, might we add. Cruise-control on.

Hit Hz & Nunes share their vision of minimal music in this second Valuri release.

This EP is introduced with A side Hit Hz's "Doom", a 16min portait of music and emotions melt in a brutal-distinctive way.

B side is focused on french talent Nunes, introducing once again his vision of drums, grooves and human madness caught on wax.

Bondage Music reveals the latest installment in its 'Bondage Games' series this March as Sascha Dive, Frink, Toman and Philipp Gonzales deliver four original compositions for Part 5.
Launched in 2008, German imprint Bondage Music has established itself as quintessential imprint for many within the world of stripped back, high quality house music, releasing material from the likes of Mihai Popoviciu, NTFO, Markus Homm and Tuccillo across the past 12 months alone. Their 'Bondage Games' series has also become a key fixture in the calendar, and here we see the label follow up their 2018 instalment with another vinyl only EP this March, with four fresh productions from Sascha Dive, Frink, Toman and Philipp Gonzales.
Frankfurt's Sascha Dive opens the package with 'Dark Night', a slick house cut guided by deep, dubby chords and entrancing vocals, before Frink's bubbling 'Vega' ups the energy and welcomes bright melodies amongst rolling percussion. Next, emerging talent Toman fuses skipping hats and a heady low-end groove as he reveals 'Time To Time', before Philipp Gonzales combines hypnotic lead synths, refined percussion arrangements and suspenseful builds throughout 'Open Hips'.

The fouth and final limited edition Delicacies 12" this year is, in an slightly counter-intuitive twist, not taken from the forthcoming SMD album, "Welcome To Sideways". It didn't quite fit in with the flow of the track selection on the album, but we felt it really warranted it's own separate release particularly because of the ace Matrixxman remix. Both versions are driving, minimal techno, scattered through with melodic bursts but Matrixxman's LSD rework pushes the BPMs and frenetic energy to new levels.

Caseone kicks off with an artist most of you have probably heard on labels such as Ruere, Pelerin, Catren, Pleasure Zone and Rawax just to name a few.

Oneknown, one of the newlyfound alter egos of Sepp showcases a funkier and more retro side of the artist with "This Time" on the A side. A guitar driven, bass heavy peak time dancefloor killer that can't help but make you move and wonder at the beautifuly interweaven melodies and harmonies.

Turn it over and you've got "Tommorow's Party", a classically influenced chord monster that sounds something like Depeche Mode meets Kraftwerk meets Romanian ingenuity and craftmanship. An instant classic like no other, get it while it's here.

We are proud to represent the rising star of the electronic scene from Hungary. We are sure that atmospheric music of Schime will be able to touch your most secret emotions. We have already released the music of this artist in digital version - this time mostly selected vibes music on the vinyl.

Traceless, the new collaborative release by Sinfol and Octual, the two artists who shaped the sound of the label with their distinct grooves. The 6th installment is an EP full of warm, spiraling and acid-tinged lines, spherical percussion and foggy rhythms. Mystical and pristine but with a subtle summer funk around the edges.

Electronic / acoustic wonder band KUF deliver a special surprise for their third album: eleven sizzling hot takes on tracks drawn from the Macro label's stellar catalog, as originally crafted by some of today's most respected artists in electronic music. KiNK, Patrick Cowley, Peter Kruder (of K&D), Stefan Goldmann, rRoxymore and more get the treatment. With a nod to the label's previous highly original compilations and mixes from the Macrospective and Vinylism series, Re:Re:Re captures more new ground.

KUF's previous albums presented an astonishing inversion of the typical extended electronic set up, in that they paired a plethora of disembodied, sampled voices with acoustic real time interaction on bass, drums and keys. Re:Re:Re shifts the focus of sampling altogether to scanning entire tracks and compositions which are then reimagined with the band's singular approach. Neither just remixes, nor faithful reproductions, KUF engage in careful sound archaeology. From re-programming key sounds to holistic granular deconstructions, the originals's sound palettes are reproduced to serve as a springboard towards entirely new instalments. The resulting tracks range from intimate ballads to full power dance floor movers, spanning a highly engaging arc of sheer listening pleasure.

Grey Area Records is a new label based in Milan, born by a group of italian artists deeply fascinated by Techno

For the second release of the parisian label, nifo gave the keys of the spaceship to Bassam who composed a very balanced EP where house music lovers of all kinds will be pleased. Face A reveals two tracks produced in solo : a lovely trip called Wicked Journey and a tastefull track with acid lines, Cosmic Loukoum. On face B you'll find a banger featuring Kizoku and a very well produced breakbeat remix by Gab Jr.

Vinyl Only, dedicated to my family, my supporters and all the music lovers. The fifth chapter come directly from burbi’s studios made by Lapucci as M47714. Fresh retrò futuristic sounds, melancholic melodies join rays of happiness, straight and break beats join 80’ spacey synths to begin the jorney thru the mediatic forms of communication that invaded our life. Beware of medias, trust your ears.

With the 3-track EP Mantra JOIX opens a new dimension in his electronic music. For the first time he uses his own voice on a larger scale, giving it a machine-like sound that transforms and heightens the meaning of his German words.

The lead track "Mantra" refers to the techno movement in Germany in the 90s, which JOIX lived and breathed as a teenager. Those mystical experiences †staying awake all night in rooms full of light and sound †came close to the trance states attained by chanting Mantras. This is the main idea and the emotional inspiration behind this pulsating A-side track.

A touch of nostalgia also comes through "Wächter der Nacht". This tune channels the mysterious night, the search for ecstasy and self-dissolution in music clubs protected by the "guards of night".


Finally, "Klimax" is a dance-floor-banger that distinguishes itself by whipping up immense energy, and its space-filling melody and enormous hall cascades.

Rize radical returns with the 2nd part of Alton Miller's Inner8 remix package (first part was on the Clone X serie and sold out in the first week!). Here the original version and the remixes of Literon and Steve Azzara.

The third reference in Concerns Music LTD has two original tracks by Kalter Ende and two remixes by Orphx and Manni Dee. Pure techno.

An experimental minimal track. It is a concept unit by Ko-Ta and Kiyokazu Hamawaki also known as Liiebermann, a debut work by RAV. Experimental minimal track with original electronic vant-garde free key electronic sound.

Here we go with the "Eine Stadt frisst ihre Helden" e.p., four rough and raw techno machines down from the evil subsea dungeons by the label head himself aka Syntax Error. Every track
tells a story out of the snorky life from Christian in Snorkcity Giessen! "El expreso de cerveza", do a beer pub tour in Giessen and you definitely know that this means. "Mad insomnia causing insects" contains samples which are provided by Mad Matze from his South America holiday, real monster quadrills noice! If this is not freaking you out, the "Freak Wave" will do, breaking over your head that crashes you on the deepest underground as possible. If this is not enough, enjoy some "Döret Talk" from the backstage! More dört that you can expect! This e.p. absolutely says "eat my shorts and go fuck yourself! To be or not to be
snorky! That´s the question!

Not unlike the first chapter, Workparty 2 mirrors the status quo within the Keinemusik camp.
Featuring Rampa, &ME, David Mayer and Adam Port, it covers all of the crews producing
stakeholders, starting off with Adam Port's '86'.

Rosario city son Cape joins the castelar family. Four tracker EP with an outstanding remix from the usual suspect Ohm Hourani. This is not another minimal house record, certified thums up!

import warehouse find on this classic Canadian label.

Time Passages boss Binh is a big fan of Innershades. Last year he brought the Belgian producer to the label for the very first time and here offers up another four tracks from the rave-loving rising star. He hits the ground running with "It's Time", a warehouse-ready throb-job full of new beat riffs and creepy electronics, before offering up another funky Euro techno cut that sounds like it could have been played at an after-party in 1990 ("Forum"). Elsewhere, "Euphoria In Ginza" is a deliciously chiming and melodious breakbeat-house workout, while "No Romantic" is another retro-futurist romp full of squelchy synth bass and rushing, turn-of-the-90s style nostalgic riffs

The first release of 2017 from Edume and Nicolas Lutz's "multi-disciplinary art platform" (that's a record label, kids) My Own Own Jupiter comes from Spanish analogue freak Do Or Die. It's an expansive, intergalactic debut album featuring nine scorching, tried-and-tested dancefloor treats. Highlights come thick and fast, from the racing deep space bleeps and razor-sharp acid lines of body-jacker "Mr Insane" and psychedelic-minded electro-acid shuffler "Brahmsstrat", to the deep and galactic techno/electro hum of "Osst" and rush-inducing deep house bliss of "Posthuman (Part 1)". Also worth a listen is "Norse", in which Do or Die fuses bleep-era Biosphere with the mechanical funk of vintage Chicago jack.

The strong first release on new label Morchelle comes from ESTMODE.

A mix of analog and digital hands brought up this little EP. On side A we find a solid beat engaging rhythm that grabs you and carries you along.

Conviction is the word to describe side B, with an awesome thick synth coming in the middle of everything that definitely characterise and particularise a lot the track.

Something to impress with, a must have record.

Sheer power. With 'Tears Of Joy' Stefan Goldmann hands in an array of unapologetically bass-heavy techno cuts. Attacking a sound system's full width, these simplistic two-tone workouts turn out to have tremendous depth. Never standing still, constant feisty modulation keeps basslines and bodies.
