Techno Novedades

My name is Offset, Berk Offset. I like my beats shaken and stirred...This would be the best way to introduce Berk's new release "Demontration in Gelb" on Snork Enterprises. They couldn't have been yellow any more. "An der Luppe" and "Das Zipperleyn" are really true interpretations in sound for which Snork Enterprises stands for!

Certain sounds inspire us, certain sounds move us, and certain sounds simply propel us deeply and immediately into a place where everything else becomes irrelevant. The latter is the vein of sonic manipulation that can be found on "What One Sees", Sta an Linzatti's latest workout for Chronicle. A prelude
to a forthcoming album, Linzatti has once again shown his incredibly ability to morph time and space to his liking. From the pressure cooking low end in "Brink of Collapse" to the dissonant twilight zone antics of "Just A Thought", Sta an works his way through inner space nding the perfect balance of tension and release, discord and resolve. The resolve comes during moments like "Nobody Observes The Ordinary" and "Passing Ceres", which harmonize subtle yet intricate patterns with chimerical synthwork. It's a vast feat, and a warning bell for the incoming musical architecture that we are so grateful to share with you.

Crayon Records returns 4 tracks of bass heavy Techno House.

First Various Artists Vinyl only for Hangover, Italian based label. For this vinyl the label presents Giuseppe Cennamo (owner of the label) with his Vademcum, then Yanee, already known producer from Argentina, and then on the B side we have Alessio Viggiano, one of the most talented minimal producers from Italy, and the newcomer Dub Capsule with his pure classy tune No Certain.

Nandu returns with full force on OFF Recordings with Glömde, a high strung melodic techno cut consisting of one original track and two revamps.

Rolling into a broad groove from the get-go, Glömde is a tightly knit Tech House banger that brings together firm percussion and melodic synth thrusts. Singer Tyra's delicate vocals, at times whispered, add an extra layer of harmonies, making the track even more compact and entrancing.

Netherlander techno craftsman Love Over Entropy delivers a spellbinding remix, stripping down most of the original elements and reverting the focus onto the percussive backbone. Seemingly straightforward, LOE reconstructs the initial groove, rebuilding it up with industrial details and a raw,
ample sound esthetic.

An artisan of deep house reworks, Manoo explores Glömde's house appeal. Kicking off with a tribal percussion lead that stays centered throughout the cut, Manoo's remix brings out the track's versatility and plays on its spaciousness.

REPRESSED !
Since the release of his debut 'Hyph Mngo' that swept the global dance music world in 2009, British producer Peter O'Grady (aka Orbison) makes his return on Hotflush Recordings as Joy O in 2011. These two productions take a more straightforward approach, toeing along the lines of classic house music, infused with this talented producer's own signature style, weaving rolling acidic basslines in 'Wade In' and uplifting melodies in 'Jels' and over shuffling Roland drums and blissful atmospherics.

Killer !!! Villalobos & Brito / Amnesia Repress

Second vinyl has landed something different this time in Expmental Records, Berliner
Tagträumer² is the one selected to be in the original track showing that we don't want to
Keep our vinyl releases one style based and we will go in different areas also from the part of
the remixes as we believe that music doesn't understand of tags and styles is just about
feelings.
The remixes come from the well known Pele & Shawnecy and the label resident artists Eddy
Romero and Frink.

Mint Condition - A brand new record label focussed on excavating the outer fringes of classic House and Techno. Unreleased mixes, classics and overlooked gems mined from the last 20+ of contemporary dance music are the order of the day. From Chicago, Detroit and New York to London and beyond, Mint Condition have got their expert digging hats on to bring you exclusive heat and those rarer than rare jams that have been on your wants list for years! Dig in....

Detroit's Keith Tucker is a man of many names, the man behind AUX-88, Alien FM, DJ K-1, Optic Nerve and more. If you have even a vague interest in the Motor City's electronic output of the last 20+ years his name will be instantly recognisable as someone who turns out the highest calibre Electro and Techno jams, the type of records that look towards the future for inspiration, existing in the subterranea and sharing the same artistic vision of artists like Juan Atkins Drexciya, Erik Travis, Shake, DJ Stingray and many more. Originally released on Scottish imprint Seventh Sign recordings in 2005 'Detroit Saved My Soul' is a modern classic. It features all the hallmarks of classic 313 Techno and Electro which is to be expected with Tucker behind the boards. First cut 'It's A Mood (Detroit Saved My Soul)' is minimalism done right - stripped back drums with minor synth stabs punctuating flurries of vocoders and KT's voice describing the D as he sees it to us via the medium of music. Killer stuff. 'Elektronik' is up next, almost classically A-U-X sounding, pure Electro beats for the heads. Fast paced machine Funk from 50 years time beamed back to 2017 to tell us what's really up. Oh, watch that bassline, you could get into trouble. Finishing the EP we are treated to 'My Mental State', a slower paced, psychedelic Electro cut with killer drums and rim-shots featuring, again, KT's vox weaving in and out of the mix asking 'where are you, what are you doing'. Absolutely essential tracks from a modern day Techno legend. Essential stuff.

'Detroit Saved My Soul' has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of Keith Tucker / Seventh Sign recordings for 2017 and remastered by London's Curve Pusher from the original sources especially for Mint Condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your new favourite reissue label - Mint Condition!

Rooted Series is back with a really fresh V/A ready for rock the dance floors.

This time starts with label mate Dakpa (Rooted/Sukhumvit) who brings a really rolling house track with great ambiances. A2 comes with In Haus Wax label boss TIJN with a minimal chords house with great senses. B side arrives with our partner Rickzor who builded a great old school house track full of groove. The release ends with label boss Bolumar who brings another old school house feeling track.

Cross out the all seeing eye and ears will open onto questions tracing the lithic grooves of an anachronic industrial. Why the Eye's paleo-futurism suggests a mode of Rock in Opposition displaced into alternative timelines. It is as if the Leg End of Henry Cow has escaped its retro-avant 'chamber music' fetters, toward the hypnotic patterns of dance floor exuberance. These rituals exhume unidentified audio relics from a future yet to be within a deep past that will have been. Each track on Why the Eye's debut leads into an exploration of an entranced dreamscape that would be mislabeled as an 'interlude'. Instead, Why the Eye weave numerological significance into their myth: the energetic, odd-numbered tracks are counterbalanced by the mesmeric reveries of the even-numbered tracks. Using for their titles, these unpronounceable names express the unconscious catacombs of their invisible sonic worlds. Why the Eye uses an array of handmade instruments, each featured on the album's insert: hurgy, papillon, radiocaphone, castabignettes, drumkit, and the various sizes of lamellos. These hybrid tools give an elemental presence to their lithic grooves and a uniqueness to their spectral techno. The album's opener, 'Dombo', could equally be heard as the audio parallel to the 'pataphysical Museum of Jurassic Technology as much as the reopening of the Bay-area's Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. The heavy hypnosis of 'Plastique' sets the machine churning, with its breakbeat skit closing side A. The nouveau post-rock of 'Free Gluten' continues the meditation to side B, as 'Papillon' Afro-punk invites us back to dance. 'Bragitto' lightens up the energetic weight and its dream closes the album with murmurs suitable for any ambience. If music will have been made to announce the retrieval of lost futures, the initiation of Why the Eye might be said to have incepted some of its timbres. LP + insert + download voucher.

The first release on Youth - a new label from Andrew Lyster, comes from Portland based artist Yard. Hailing from the dark woods of the West Coast of the United States, Yard brings together a collection of tracks from the archives alongside some new material. Canopy and White Fog were originally released on the album Deciduous Flood Plains, and have been reworked for this release. Marshall Acid is pressed to vinyl for the first time having previously only been available digitally via Event Horizon. Yard's gritty sound evokes a spectrum of gnarled city life to organic atmospheres. The release comprises of field recordings, micro-cassette mangles, bass kicks, a live jam between x0xb0x and a modded tr-606 and water drops percolating through the mixes to get that urban hum and grit running up against the forest.

While following a normal catalog order, the Live Series is a parallel line of releases that will bring to fruition more acoustic-electronic crossbreeds as well as other sonic experiments, each release will also benefit from an one-of -a-kind type of artwork.
Blending Light is the first in the series and is's also Amorf 's debut album, a collaborative project connecting three musical minds and exploring the converging areas between acoustics and electronics, neoclassicism

An album by Roman Flügel is always a sensation. That holds true for his countless monikers and collaborations as it does for his 2011 Dial debut Fatty Folders. Being the first of its kind under his civic name, the long over-due association of Hamburg's cerebral label and its group of off-centre house and techno individuals with Frankfurt's favorite electronic music producer for the thinking man and woman, proved to be a seminal one.

Now, that sort of Happiness Is Happening again. Roman Flügel's follow up on Dial takes off, where Fatty Folders landed: on a runway that acknowledges the roots of house and techno as well as its fruits, but leads to a different location. Exempt from the burden that a concept album can lay on its author, Flügel seems not to be concerned with the current trends, retro fashion or a pre-conceived topic. Free-wheeling and with a freshness akin to morning dew, he rather takes us by the hand and through ten tracks that sometimes feel like songs without a voice.

Having said that, the strongest point of Happiness Is Happening is that it has a voice. The voice of a maker who is not afraid to mix joy and pain, ambient textures with remnants dance floor euphoria, quiet spaces and loud places. So you have an almost Depeche-Mode-like ballad that the "Friendship Song" is, next to the techno city ghost story of "Occult Levitation". Slow-motion robot disco ("Wilkie") appears as much at home here as the bulky "Stuffy" or the sudden impact in "We Have A Nice Life". That list goes on and on. The most startling fact about Roman Flügel's tour de force is that its sum is as great as its parts. Nothing feels superfluous, ill-paced or forced here. Its a condensate of a life that has been spent in techno, house and its various mutations and archetypes with a sensibility for pop music, a consciousness of indie culture and an affinity for the avant-garde as such.

Happiness Is Happening is like a concept album without a concept. A testament to the fact that the concept of an album that works within the realms and boundaries of "electronic (dance) music" can be so much more than a loose collection of 12-inches or just an exercise in style: it can be, after all, a piece of art and at its best comparable to a successful singer-songwriter album without words. Especially, when the creator of all his seems to be truly comfortable with himself and at his best. Then, Happiness Is Happening, indeed. GERD JANSON

Mit 'Tales from the Past' erscheint die erste EP der beiden Münchner Sinus & Rafner. Schon vor ziemlich genau einem Jahr zeigten sie mit der auf - U6 Schallplatten' veröffentlichten Compilation - Various Artists Vol.1', das von ihnen noch einiges erwartet werden kann. Die A Seite schmückt Sinus mit seinen 2 Tracks - Torture Me'(offizieller Soundtrack des - Grüne Sonne Festivals' 2014) und - Dachkammer'. Beide sind definiert durch Vielseitigkeit, einer deepen Atmosphäre und einem stetigen Groove. Auf der B Seite tobt sich Rafner mit seiner Nummer - Nordwind' aus. Breite Flächen und lange Breaks unterstützt von einem satten Beat laden definitiv zum Tanzen ein. Abgerundet wird die Scheibe durch den smoothen Nordwind Remix von Ill-Boy-Phil und Sebastian Fleischer, welcher ein schön melancholischen Abschluss zu den vorher gehenden Tracks bildet.

The opening A side track ''1840'' (feat. Contrapunct) is the result of taking a violin built by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume in the year 1840, played by our in-house virtuoso now known as Contrapunct and making a sample kit / sound kit with it Yes, this means all the sounds you hear on this song are sourced from an old and beautiful violin. Using original recordings combined with different manipulation techniques, the trio deliver to the plate over 12 minutes of intensity.
One can explain it like this perhaps...........
You are high in the blue sky walking a high wire over an ocean of beautiful coral reef,
still maintaining balance, but looking down at the view beneath and thinking-
"if i got to go- there cannot be much better ways!"
You safely reach the other side, then turn around and walk the wire back, home safe.
On the B1 we have Ottoman Pipes. A Jamaican analog synth made its way to our studio just before being shipped off to sea again - after sitting with it for hours, we couldn't help but turn every knob on it and record at the same time. I guess this about explains the synth works, but to be a little strange and not wanting to sound too commercial we just had to bring in the Darbuka and let Kaan release the beast inside via nicely played eastern drum riddims.

On the B2, ''Four Kings'' delivers some Miami booty bass! This is modular bass amped with a nicely saturated/almost distorted riff that keeps rolling, and rolling. Probably the heaviest track to the ep and one that will register in tone with older Contexterrior releases of the past. True to the other - each sound is very well placed and meticulously panned for a nice stereo listen.
