Skyline Systems – Escape Vector [PE024]

Skyline Systems emerges from Australia with Escape Vector — four deeply elegant cuts rooted in the classic deep Detroit influenced sound. Stripped-back and refined, the producer crafts machine-driven landscapes where analog synths and drum machines intertwine with a hypnotic, subtly futuristic groove. Warm, fluid basslines, shimmering metallic chords and a steady pulse invite both introspection and late-night dancefloor drift. Minimal yet immersive, Escape Vector distills the essence of Detroit’s deep house and electro heritage while adding a contemporary sense of space and precision.

VA – El Elektro Compilado Padrísimo Vol. 1 [OR147]

El Elektro Compilado Padrísimo Vol.1 is a fearless snapshot of the Spaniard national electro scene, curated by Dark Vektor aka San Vektorsito – the padrino who binds it all together. Established figures stand shoulder to shoulder with new blood, generating a current where tradition and innovation collide in sparks. This compilation pulses as both a map and manifesto: raw, urgent, and unapologetically futuristic. Every track is a charged fragment of a collective identity, soldered into one unstoppable groove. A declaration that the Spanish electro underground is alive, mutating, and absolutely padrísimo.

VA – Constellations Vol. 3 [MTRON045]

Mechatronica’s journey continues with Constellations Vol. 3, weaving together a powerful blend of electro and techno. Anthony Rother delivers his signature precision in sound design, while Maelstrom bends the grid with a glitchy, IDM-infused excursion. Credit 00 dives deep into electro’s darker corners, joined by a trippy collaboration from Serge Geyzel & Dagga, the rolling energy of TaronX, and The Spy’s industrial-tinged intensity.

Abacus – The Relics EP [C#CC037]

Somewhere around 1993 or ’94, a quietly profound landmark in deep house emerged: The Relics E.P. by Austin Bascom, better known as Abacus, originally released on Chicago’s Prescription Records. Now, three Decades later, Clone Classic Cuts present a fully remastered edition, including previously unreleased material from the same recording sessions.

VA – First Transmission compilation [MET006]

First Transmission Compilation is the very first compilation released by Meteors Recordings and the opening signal of its return for 2026. After stepping back to reshape its identity and welcoming new members into the team, the label re-emerges with a renewed vision and a sharper artistic direction. Bringing together artists who explore the edges of electro, EBM and darker experimental territories, this compilation lays the foundation of Meteors’ singular universe: raw, tense, and deeply atmospheric. Each track acts like a fragment of a message broadcast into the night: a true first transmission.
