Trance News

Trying to build cultural bridges across the world, powering connection between dancefloor activists, Hard Fist thinks Princes Of Abzu not only as a compilation but as a tool to give space for expression to local legends like Kaan Duzarat in Istanbul or to upcoming artist such as Linja or Feller who are doing here their debut on wax. A tool to promote another vision of dance music, obviously produced to dance, but also to think, to raise curiosity, to keep a daring spirit and an open mind.

Power Culture is the union of Emmanuel and Tim Tama. "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." This project aims to melt the experience and the world of the two artists in one single place. Both known for their very unique style started to work naturally on music, figuring out lately that the entire project was right there, in front of their eyes, Power Culture is the result of the collision of many styles that dominated the 90's but look forward to the future, with a wider angle. Techno Culture has been crucial to the development of many crafts, and once in a while some projects tend to define a line in time, this is the aim of this project.

Deniro becomes better and better by time like a bottle of good Wine, what is impressive is how he is able to melt many and different lands and spaces into his music, definitely a release to keep an eye on. My pick is Monsoon 3, Show them how is done!

In 2010, MiamiÉs Markus Schulz embarked on his most challenging year to date. He accumulated almost 150 gigs over 12 months - an indicator of his status as one of the elite members on the DJ circuit, and solidifying that fact with consolidating the number 8 position in DJ MagÉs Top 100 for the third straight year. And the fuel behind his whirlwind tour schedule was attributed to his third critically-acclaimed artist album - the followup to previous long-players Without You Near and Progression - entitled ÊDo You Dream~Ë

One of the most talked about records of the summer is now available to all.

A tribute to St Peterburgs legendary Kisloty club and a must have for fans of VTSS, Courtesy, Clouds and all forms of rapid dance music.

Monnom Black marks its 17th release with its first various artist compilation presented on triple vinyl. Keeping with the label's modus operandi, the compilation is packed with iconic, raw and uncompromising techno, featuring 13 artists new and old to the imprint! Essential Selection!

From the streets to the clubs! I'm Dario Rossi, the "techno drummer", and this is my first official EP. Echoing 80's new wave and EBM, I created a mixture of nowadays techno sounds and some pure 90's rave vibes. Enjoy it!

Tralala Blip are an Australian unit of differently-abled musicians hailing from the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. Over the past decade they have carved out a unique position in the Australian electronic music community. Working to overcome a range of challenges imposed by their disabilities, Tralala Blip have created a range of approaches to instruments, performance and composition that allows them to seamlessly create music together. Eat My Codes If Your Light Falls is their first full length album in over five years. It charts out an entirely new sonic universe that is the resolution of several years of intense live performance and expanded studio experiments. Produced by Lawrence English, the record explodes their working methodologies and reveals a collective sacred heart that is fuelled by their intoxicating post-electro pop melodies and diarised lyrical poems.

Eat My Codes If Your Light Falls is in many ways the first work in a new chapter of what Tralala Blip are becoming. It resolves their experimental practices and focuses that energy within a tight framework of explicit song form and entirely personal production aesthetics. This is their voice, articulating their stories. It’s for us to listen and begin to understand that which lies in parallel with our everyday. Beyond their extensive performance commitments, they have presented their work as special guests of TEDx, have had a stage production created about them and have instigated many workshops for other differently abled musicians and artists. Their goal is to reconsider the nature of creativity, especially music making and to push these process beyond any sense of the normative or commonplace.

Celebrated internationally for their relentless pursuit of a level playing field in music creation, they have been fortunate to be supported by festivals such as Unsound, Liquid Architecture and arts facilities such as ZKM Kahlsruhe.

The future is expansive and multi-abled, Tralala Blip invite you to get amongst it.

Nathan Micay (formerly Bwana) steps out under his own name for the first time with a pair of glistening panoramas well-primed for those exultant hours of the early morning. The 12' opens with 'First Casualty', aka *that* track played by Avalon in her Printworks set last year, before heading into deeper territories with 'Beginning Ballads' on the flip. In Nathan's words: "These are without a doubt the most personal tracks I have written to date. I made them as a sort of exercise in self-therapy during my first few months in Berlin. As time has gone on, more meanings have unfolded with each listen. For me, these tracks are a rebuttal to the endless churn of negativity in the news and online. They have become my battle cry in the club, something to mobilize while also offering a chance to escape it all, even briefly."

Only 150 copies pressed.

After the success of the Mad Dog EP, originally released on Underdog Recordings in 1993 and going for over £75 a copy of Discogs, we come with a collector’s item and a first for Vinyl Fanatiks. A jungle 7”!!!

The A-Side is a 7” edit of the classic ‘Monged Out’, edited by none other than Dave Wallace from Aquasky/Mad Dog. A heavy, no nonsense jungle anthem from 1993!

The AA-Side is a 7” edit of an unreleased Mad Dog track, recorded in 1993 and only recently found on DAT tape in 2019. The tune is called ‘Hypnotise’ and is a more uplifting track, with bundles of rave energy and jungle vibes.

Released with the jukebox hole in the middle for pure old skool flavours!

a supermassive prog trance bomb !!! now repressed !!!

War Jacques Greenes Debütalbum "Feel Infinite" (2017) der Soundtrack zum Vorglühen, so ist sein Nachfolger der Reflektionsmoment nach dem Rave, hochempfindsam, voller latenter Möglichkeiten. Gleichzeitig ist "Dawn Chorus" sein bislang kooperativstes Werk, an dem Filmkomponist Brian Reitzell ("Lost In Translation") und Cellist Oliver Coates teilnahmen, während Ambient-Künstlerin Julianna Barwick, Rapper Cadence Weapon und die kanadischen Sängerinnen Ebhoni und Rochelle Jordan Vocals beisteuerten. Statt Clubmusik macht Jacques Greene Musik über den Club, er remixt Radiohead, produziert Katy B und Tinashe und tourt mit The xx.

Riviera Records is a brand new label that kicks off with ‘Move’ - a statement of intent from founder X-Coast. Continuing to perform across the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia, X-Coast is an unconventional character and little is known about the mysterious Serbian other than the concept for the alias is that it exists “somewhere in the deep blue Caribbean Sea, between your imagination and what’s real.” Having released on labels like Hot Haus, Lost Palms and Steel City Dance Discs, X-Coast now launches Riviera Records with a promise to be an uncompromising clash of sounds” and the label stays true to that from the get-go.
There is no mucking about here as X-Coasts demonstrates his versatility as a producer with three varying mixes of ‘Move’ making up the bulk of the package. First up is the Trans Mix: an arms-in-the-air, throwback trance track with euphoric vocal stabs all primed to inject real energy into any set. House Mix then bounces and bumps with a refracted garage vox and endless old school dynamism, before the twisting and turning Breaks Mix follows with its thumping drums, hits and rattling dub sounds that all explode to life. Finally, ‘Naos’ totally flips the script with a slow, deep, cosmic workout build on a rugged bassline. A breathy voice, warm chords and balmy pads all wash over you like a Balearic breeze and take you to hedonistic dance floor somewhere in 80s Ibiza.

Elf Jahre nach ihrem letzten Kollaborationsalbum "Inlandish" veröffentlichten Hans-Joachim Roedelius, deutscher Experimental-Musiker und Krautrock-Legende (Cluster, Harmonia), und Tim Story, US-amerikanischer Neoklassik- und Ambient-Komponist, ihr neues Werk "Lunz3", angelehnt an ihr gleichnamiges Werk aus 2002. Das Ergebnis ist eine facettenreiche Exkursion im Spannungsfeld zwischen Electronica, Neoklassik, Ambient und Drone.

Repress of long out of print Laurent Garnier double 12” – originally released in 1993 on FNAC.

For this edition of the LFRMX-series Len Faki is turning to 1990‘s trance and acid. The bpm might be
lower than back in the days, but there‘s just as much energy coming off these irresistible tunes in their
updated versions.
Featuring the original‘s sizzling synth work by Kompakt co-founder Wolfgang Voigt‘s early
collaborative projects, Planet Love Ink strikes an upbeat chord in order to show off its grand piano
break for maximum effect.
Equally tapping into the early nineties, Structure – We are Structure is a weighty acid banger with no
frills attached. Straight, honest and nailing era‘s vibe to the core. B-Side‘s all about old school trance,
booming breaks, and epic synth-sweeps, in this instantly captivating, elevating and driving rework of
Illuminatae – Tremora del Terra, a hymn to many back in the days.

After showcasing his knack for emotive productions via various EPs throughout his career, including chart-topping singles on Hot Since 82's Knee Deep in Sound and Dave Seaman's Selador, the Swiss artist Several Definitions now reveals his first full-length album. It should come as no surprise that the artist found familiarity in what he calls the Berlin style' of electronic music and notably, that of Oliver Koletzki's Stil vor Talent. Reborn After The Road is an intense and emotional affair, consisting of 14 tracks crafted using field and live recordings, switching between analogue and digital to mould a sonic atmosphere that emblazons the artist's core ethos. Although the personal experience that sparked the inspiration for the LP is far from pleasant, Several Definitions' style is audibly resolute. Reborn After The Road, the album's eponymous track, creates a fitting intro for the healing process that is to follow. Its airy pads and majestic strings sonically stand at the epicenter of the expressive album. Several Definitions continues to explore these sounds on vaporous slices like Pontceard 32 or the more acidical Last Breath. The mellifluous, feminine vocals of LaMeduza on Learn To Feel and Her, as well as Spanish singer Goldsun's crooner talents on the introspective Trust, on the other hand, showcase Several Definitions' ability to work the human voice into his musical explorations. Taking introspection one step further towards darker realms, Senelity then feels like a rite of passage into the deeper and more intense segment at the album's core. Over You briefly signals a turning point, with its alarm-like synths and grave leads, which is then followed by the glitchy resistance on Modular Spaces. The Escape

Human Potential Movement

For this third EP, Parisian label Forest ill Records artists invites fresh producer Muelsa to join them on this record. Follow them to a trip in the universe of 4 of the best Parisian producers. Fasten your belt and take place to the spaceship.

This Age of Love 10x12" vinyl box set features some of the best tracks of the nineties and is a tribute to the famous Belgian clubscene, dj's and artists, the cornerstones of this unforgettable era. Reviving the atmosphere of those magical times when we all partied for days on end, we bring back the early days of love and late night dancing with the best classics around. Respect the old school.

For its fourth instalment, Interstate welcomes Copenhagen's Schacke. Rooted in punk and noise, the Danish artist grew into becoming one of the key figures of Copenhagen's scene and inner part of Courtesy's Ecotherm and newly found Kulor imprint. On INS004, Schacke delivers three originals, exploring musical spheres that are both brutal and graceful. The opener "Cold Hands" kicks things off on a dark yet atmospheric note with driving percussions that make your body shake. "It Was All A Dream" is built around an irresistible synth loop that is accompanied by angelic noises and winds. While this track blooms in its flow and drive, the short break shows what an exceptionally gifted producer Schacke is.The flip-side features the title track "Met Her At The Herrensauna" which is the record's most euphoric. Dazzling leads, shimmering synths and a somewhat otherworldy yowling loop drive this track which has all potential to create the special dancefloor moment one won't forget. At last, IBON, another Copenhagen talent, delivers his take on "Met Her At The Herrensauna" by giving the original an even more clubby and trancy touch. The two combined make this 130bpm and upwards Copenhagen take-over complete!

Italian club culture pioneer Beppe Loda, has played more parties and mixed more genres than Jesus (according to Vice Magazine) and his contribution to dance music cannot be underestimated (thanks DJ Harvey). He refined his unique sound and skills, during his long residency at the mythical Typhoon club in Italy from 1980-1987, hypnotising thousands of dancers every week and recording some of the greatest mixtapes ever made (thanks Vice Magazine again!).

New Berlin Based label Protofuture, with its “Typhoon Tapes” series, decided to bring back to life, some of this these mixtapes. probably Focussing on the lesser-known and not non on Youtube'd (yet) between tapes from more than 200 available that were recorded, with the goal being to expose showcase them as, what we consider to be, an important reference heritage, for the present and the future generations of deejays, diggers and music lovers.

“The Experimental Music Program 01/94 was recorded around may '94 at the Sound Music Room club in the north of Italy. Which was the club opened by the same owner of Typhoon, after the that legendary club closed in 1987. It is a very little-known or heard tape, a mix of space rock, trip-hop, break beats and trance, that didn’t see the light, except for less then 100 copies dealt passed between a small circle of clubbers in the north of Italy at the time.”

**We have dug the original covers from 1994 and all the original stamps from the Typhoon era, also a good dose splash of leftover ink, that has been used to stamp all the tapes, from the 80’s till until this release. **So that means that it comes with the original cassette cover from 1994, hand-stamped using the original stamp and the ink from the Typhoon era.......authentic!

NTJW is back with his first V/A mini album.
"THE SLAVES OF DARKNESS Vol.1".
A mix of different styles in an unique industrial techno acid trance collection.

Schvitz Edits returns for its third release with two of the most sought after edits of the last year. Having hit the jackpot with contributions from his friends on 002, Nathan Micay returns to provide the heat with two smashers that have been lighting it up in mixes and sets from OR:LA, Roi Perez and many others.

On Side-A we get an unexpectedly heavy spin on ‘Koi Jaye To Le Aaye’ from the film Ghatak. Side-B finally sees the release of Micay’s tranced out take on cult outfit Cam Am Des Puig. After an appearance in Avalon Emerson’s BBC R1 Essential Mix last year, this is finally available for everyone. Act fast as always. No re-press.

To celebrate the third release, 100% of proceeds will be going to the Humsafar Trust, India’s largest LGTBQ advocacy organization!

Redimension welcomes newcomers Richey V & Simone Zino to the label with an exclusive collaboration from the young Italian duo.

Hailing from Milan, the pair cut their teeth performing regularly at the cities best known techno clubs and events, leading to Simone gaining a spot as resident DJ at famed Italian venue Bolgia, and Richey launching his own weekly techno event, VOID. With further support on their releases from well-known DJs such as Joseph Capriati, Tale Of Us and Adam Beyer, they have built a strong and growing fan base.

“Hysteria” is the first collaborative EP to come from the couple, and it does not disappoint. The eponymous track creates tension with a stripped back groove, and uses hypnotic synths and an arpeggiated lead synth to generate an extra wave of intensity, resulting in a brutal workout, worthy of its namesake.

Track two, simply titled “Action” lifts the Ep’s energy even further. With a sinister lead vocal throughout, the hard-hitting drums and warning sirens give a taste of what’s to come.

Next up, “Rave On” is a nonstop workout that takes the EP deeper using unique vocal chants, and a buzzing lead synth. Keeping the spirit of the rave alive, “Rave On” is a throwback to the origins of techno, and is set to damage dance floors from warehouse raves to intimate clubs.

The fourth track on the EP, “Empire” uses a thick and driving bassline, and the accompanying melodic synths to create moments of euphoria. The driving techno track is relentless in its dramatic suspense, and leaves the Dancefloor wanting more.

Last up is the EP’s digital exclusive. “Meteora” is an epic slice of melodic techno, using snare rolls and swelling synth pulses to create waves of sonic energy, the track is a welcome finale to the EP and rounds of a truly unique and powerful EP from the young Italians.

Reissue of this rave classic - Indians & Aliens and Great Spirit - 2 tracks packed with tribal rhythms, breaks and acid lines by West Coast pioneers DJ Trance & Darwin Chamber.
Straight from the DATS, remastered by Alden Tyrell and cut at The Exchange London, what else could you ask for 2 fire remixes by D. Tiffany & Roza Terenzi, you say

Wout Records proudly presents its fourth vinyl release. Various artists X' contains five of the most outstanding Wout artists. The World From Denise's Eyes' by Michele Anullo & Veitha is an emotional tech house exploration between synth driven melodies and crystal clear drums.

The composers have built in a classy melodic bass with an enormous engaging touch. Giuseppe Bottone brings us closer
to the techno edge with his track Desiccant'. You will dive into a world of synthetic drones, surf on rough clap sounds and get enchanted by electronic structures. The track is made of an overwhelming deep atmosphere. Goodbye My Hero' demonstrates Alvise Torrisi's abilities for producing tracks with
long intros, thoughtful synth pattern and increasing dynamic. Especially, the melody is a breath-taking beauty of music... definitely another anthem for the summer. David Di Sabato's Never Night On The Moon' is much more reduced in sounds compared to the other tracks of this release, which induced a
fine balance of trippy atmospherical rhythmics, raw dancefloor energy and sound design. W004LTD bridges the gap between state-of-the-art techno, melodic techno and tech house. We can't wait for playing this record.
