International techno collective and record label Sandwell District release their debut studio album. Feed-Forward, features previously unreleased techno cuts by the three central Sandwell artists – Dave Sumner as Function, Karl O’Connor as Regis and Juan Mendez as Silent Servant, with additional input from Female. A trademark, highly effective array of big industrial beats, off-kilter riffs and icy strings can be expected.

Debut album from Sean Hernandez aka Chicago Skyway that brings top quality production from start to finish. 8 tracks that range from the hard hitting acid house to raw basement cuts to the ultra deep beats.

Alton Miller’s brand new album. Feats 8 cuts from the CD including Ever Wonder feat Abacus, Beautiful, the title track feat Amp Fiddler and more. Guests including Lotus, Angel-A, Abacus, Osunlade, Atjazz and more.

Magic Wire present the second release on the label from co-founder Lone. ‘Emerald Fantasy Tracks’ is an eight track mini album spread across two 12″s, housed in a full color gate fold sleeve.

Guy Blanken aka Makam delivers a nice collection of modern house tracks spread on a 3×12” full length. The album is comprised of almost entirely new material. Makam has shown a strong propensity for classic-rooted house grooves these past two years, which will no doubt carry over to this debut full-length.

New album from Morphology, a collaboration from Finland consisting of Michael Diekmann, who also records under the alias CRC and Matti Turunen otherwise known as Näköradiomies. Morphology fuses early electro sounds with haunting melodies to create a deep blend of atmospheric future funk.

Manchester-raised and Berlin-based producer Tony Lionni will release his debut album, As One, this fall on Freerange. Though he’s been tinkering with music for roughly two decades, Lionni’s career took off in 2008 with a slew of 12-inches on respected labels like Mule Electronic, Wave Music and Aesthetic Audio. He’s been extremely active since his debut, releasing dozens of tracks in under two years, including the euphoric crowd-pleaser “Found a Place” on Ostgut Ton (reworked here as “Found Another Place.”) As One boasts all new tunes by Lionni, and features a guest appearance by Ferrispark deep house artist Marvin Belton.

Onmutu Mechaniks is an alter ego of the prolific Arne Weinberg for Echocord. To date it’s given us two 12″s of loners techno soul, a vibe he expands and asserts with ‘Nocturne’. From the dub stasis of ‘Catatonic’ he guides us on an inward trajectory with the heavy breathing shuffle of ‘Aspiring To Aspire’ and continues an internal spiral with the soundtracky space of ‘Lupos Moon’, recalling the bleakness of Demdike Stare’s spare grooves. Down the line and the sleep-techno of ‘Neutrino’ only keeps consciousness because of its metronomic woodblock, before ‘When You Return’ inhabits the blue zones of Signer or Fluxion and ‘Across The Styx’ pulls the rhythmic anchor to drift in placid dub lagoon. With ‘Nocturne’ Arne proves he knows how to sooth and salve heads with elegance and substance, resulting in a sumptuous listen from start to finish.

One of the most cherished artists in the Ostgut family, Shed returns with his sophomore album “The Traveller”. It’s a more subtle and perhaps more confident record than Shedding The Past, taking in austere dub minimalism (‘The Bot’), gauzy ambient interludes (‘STP 2′), imperious acid techno (‘My R-Class’), and, on closing track ‘Leave Things’, a kind of scuffed, ecstatic jungle reminiscent of Aphex Twin’s ‘Polynomial-C’. FACT’s Kiran Sande called up Pawlowitz in Berlin to discuss the LP, and the unlikely debt it owes to the Pet Shop Boys…”

Free release from the Automatic Tasty on Acroplane. “These are my 15 megabytes of fame. The Internet has washed my brain.”

‘Nuclear Rawmance’ is soundwise very different from Savas’ Pascalidis previous albums, so it can clearly be seen as his first Longplayer in a new sea of sounds. Over 12 masterfully produced cuts, all created in his studio using a veritable bank of hardware, Savas pours out his musical heart. From tough, old school edged house, to raw, jacking techno, dub atmospheres and smokey warehouse epics.

The return of Vienna’s producer legend with a fresh 2010 techno album incorporating influences from late 1970s disco/wave punk, 1980s electro, 1990s advanced techno & a timeless intergalactic jazz feel. All eight tracks on the album show great diversity in style and musical approach. Several guest musicians and vocalists played an important part in the development of the album.

After the huge success of his selftitled debut in 2007 CHICAGO is the second album of the Berlin-based Producer and DJ who releases his music under his moniker EFDEMIN with DIAL Records. CHICAGO is definitely the top match of Dial’s 10 Years Anniversary releases. Efdemins new works can be regarded as the turning point of a trend based house and techno scene into a new contemporary anti trend movement.

The first LP on Giegling is the debut album for Matthias Reiling (1/2 of Session Victim), called “Das Gespenst von Altona” (The ghost of Altona) – Altona is a district of Hamburg. Going from house to hip/triphop, this guy shows that he’s got the funk – and lots of groove to share.

‘Part 2’ is essentially a status report on the last 12 months or so in Mike Dehnert’s world. He re-evaluates and modifies tracks from three previous releases, together with a handful of new cuts in a set of tidy versions for the digital crew. Both ‘Umluft’ cuts hit heavy with that stern German/Detroit flavour while ‘WH1′ and WH2’ serve perpetual techno revisions from the ‘Poutres EP’ and elsewhere we get killers from the ‘Dico’ EP.

“Central’ is the first new Technasia album in five years. The much-anticipated LP is powerful testimony to why Technasia is one of the most respected acts in electronic music. Taking its name from the Hong Kong metro system, ‘Central’ is an emphatic creative statement that marks a new milestone an evolving story.
