Todd Osborn – 303 / 909 [7777005]
Upcoming release from Todd Osborn on Jared Wilson’s 7777 label. The A-Side track 303 explores some dark acid territory, while the B-Side 909 is a melodic house track in Osborn’s signature style. Like previous 7777 releases, we do not expect these to last long.
Sycorax – Aspect Ratio [NJ006]
Daniel Helmer and Ben Manzone started making tracks as Sycorax back in early 2011. This is their new release on New Jersey Records.

Max_M – Invisible For All [WNBLMTD003]
Italian DJ / Producer Max_M arrives at Woods N Bass Records to present the third edition of their vinyl-only imprint. Three good examples of explorative but yet refreshing dub techno, in which Maxs reversed, delayed chords should make this a secret weapon, perfect for some dancefloor euphoria.
VA – Soundtracks For No Film Vol.1 [ACIDO012]
Soundtracks For No Film Vol. 1 is a rather charming mini album of outer-spatial, conceptual electronics from the always on point Acido Records label, seemingly tasking contributors to deliver arrangements worthy of soundtracking film. Madteo sets the tone with “Science Fiction” a haunting spectral cut with little regard for beat structures that could feasibly sit in alongside his brilliant LP for Sahko last year. Alongside this, the A Side features three short form productions, with 291out’s “Urania (Titoli Di Coda)” the highlight, sounding very much like the music you might hear during the end credits of a forgotten 80s sci-fi drama. Complementing this, sometime Sex Tags Mania artist Doc L Junior is given the whole of the B Side to draw out an expansive, epic synthscapes “Modul 2”.
Diego Gamez – Game’z EP [UQ052]

Rick Wade – Hard Full EP [HT056]
Holic Trax serves up its fifth release from none other than Detroit music making machine Rick Wade of Harmonie Park and Moods & Grooves association. His Hard Full EP opens with the title track, Hard Full. Sounding like a classic Wade cut right from the off, squelchy drums turn over and over to lock you in place before typically elegant string samples sweep up through the mix and really set it off. ‘Deep Subliminal’ kicks that bit harder and firmer with splashing claps and a gentle tumble of toms and congas that imbue the track with a tropical tribalism. The last track is Pyro Dynamics with its nagging bass synth line, dreamy sunny day melodies and locked in place, heavyweight drums

Sandwell District – Fabric 69 [FABRIC137]
Over the course of ten active years, Sandwell District were responsible for disarming and destabilizing the structures that gagged free-form expression, drawing upon tenets of DIY-post-punk culture to disrupt accepted ideas of exactly what it meant to be an artist, label, DJ or producer. During this time, the collective’s core members, Function (Dave Sumner) and Regis (Karl O’Connor) (along with label partner, Silent Servant), played a key role in broadening the link between early electronic, post-punk, and noise; an influence which continues to resonate in the burgeoning, and shape-shifting, modern-day techno scene. With this mix, another genuine artefact has been added to the Sandwell legacy, a document of their skewed presence and existence, a treasure guaranteeing the kind of quality that electronic music compilations rarely achieve. In 1 hour 15 minutes, the pairing of Regis and Function succeed in presenting and executing some of the most potent flourishes in the Sandwell catalogue, distilling them into a coherent body of work that masterfully defines the current techno zeitgeist. Few contemporary producers have bettered the merciless techno blueprint laid down by this collective, and few ever will.

Expander & Thinkfreak – The End Of The World [SONICULTUREUNLIMITED011]
2012 didn’t bring us the end of the world, but it brought us a new EP on Soniculture called The End Of The World. Label owner Expander and Thinkfreak sat down and produced this 3-tracker that represents in their mind the phenomena that was about to come and our future in the stars.
Developer – Archive 4 [DEVELOPER004]
Modularz label head Developer continues with his fourth release on his solo project Developer Archive.This release features 5 strong and very functional tracks that stay within the ranges of his more stripped downdarker approach to techno. This is a limited vinyl release that continues to shed even more light on a consistentand effective producer that has been part of the re-surfacing and growing rise of American techno.
GW – EP1 [VIDD002]
Vidd is back after a long silence with their 2nd release, by GW from Stockholm. Surrounded by mystery and simplicity, ‘Hurry Up’ demonstrates both power and heft with few elements. The driving force builds a tension which really doesn’t reach a peak, something that the locked groove vocal manages to balance perfectly. The energy is constant and keeps things interesting. The B-side starts off with ‘Runaway’, a Chicago-resembling funk track that reflects the 90’s tradition and the new digital age. ‘Tonight’ closes the doors of this release and the closing lights come on, it’s time to go home.
VA – No Way Back [STHLMLTD028]
Stockholm Limited with a four tracks compilation. Raw, moody and analog techno. Special tracks for very special moments with tracks from Dimi Angelis & Jeroen Search, Par Grinvik, Jesper Dahlbäck and Andre Kronert.
Exploit – The Journey EP [SWM008]
The Ukrainian techno producer Alexey Gordiyenko aka Exploit with a release on So What Music. Exploit has his own label Mutex Recordings and his sound stays from soft to hard techno and melodic dub techno.
Cosmin TRG – Gordian [50WEAPONLP013]
The new album marks something of a new direction for Cosmin, however – it’s a much more intricate affair that deals in plenty of fuzzy texture, percussive energy and his trademark skimming bottom ends, but looks outside the techno world for its influences. “Gordian is as much a document of my past year as it is the beginning of a conversation. The title references an ancient myth, but describes the very contemporary, impossible task of discerning between real and replicated, authentic and contrived. Coping with facts, objects and bodies, the necessity of ‘making it’, fear of failure, fear of ‘not being happy’ are today’s topics, and Gordian is my attempt at an exploration of those issues.” (Cosmin TRG)
Petre Inspirescu – Fabric 68 [FABRIC135]
The Romanian Petre Inspirescu has exclusively used his own unreleased productions for fabric 68 makes. Petre’s recent and newfound love and appreciation of classical music permeates the deep structures and rhythms of fabric 68. Everything about the music that makes up the mix is long and liquid, silky and sinewy, with myriad different bass, instrumental and percussive threads wobbling and scurrying their way along.
“I recorded the mix at home and arranged only from my own productions, as I wanted to try to offer a more classical touch to the music I make for the dancefloor and to present it to people. Some of the songs were recorded more than one year ago, maybe two, and some recently. The songs include recordings with a trio (violin, cello, piano) in my studio, other instruments, voice (soprano) and modular sounds.”
