Descend To Ascend brings back our favorite drummer boy with more of his signature hyper-advanced beat physics. And if you don’t understand any of this, please take a step back and try again.
Mule Driver returns with his yearly 303 Day ritual release – a tradition dropped in acid. Leading the charge is “Stone Pine Nut”, an unfiltered acid banger recorded live, capturing the raw voltage and untamed pressure of his performances. No polish, no safety net, just the pure, driving force pushed to its limits. It’s sweat, pulse, and machine energy locked in the moment. Alongside it, “When Does the Everyday Become History” shifts the perspective inward. A contemplative 303 vamp circling themes of inner gaze and suspended time, it stretches and breathes while never losing its grip on the floor. Hypnotic, restrained, yet fully capable of holding dancers in its spell. Two movements within the same frequency – instinct and introspection.
‘Acid Nation, is one of the defining releases from US techno and house icon K. Hand (Kelli Hand). First pressed in 1995 on Loriz Sound in collaboration with Acacia Records, the record captures the raw energy and forward-thinking spirit of the American underground scene of the era. Driven by gritty acid lines, powerful rhythms, and a fearless, machine-driven groove, ‘Acid Nation’ showcases the full depth of K. Hand’s talent as a DJ and producer. Now seeing the light again on the Time To Impact imprint, the record returns in a remastered version, bringing its timeless acid power back to contemporary dancefloors.
Asymetric80 lands at Industrias Mekanikas with an unapologetic statement: a direct immersion into the aesthetics of collapse and extreme habits. The work places you in the center of a post-apocalyptic scenario, where survival no longer relies on calm, but on your ability to endure mechanical tension. The sound is built upon solidity and saturation. You won’t find fragility here, but rather an architecture of EBM, New Beat, and Industrial Techno designed to dominate any sound system that dares to play it.
Voykot closes the trilogy with Panico En Directo unleashing its darkest chapter: Terror for kids. The definitive third act where terrifying melodies and aggressive soundscapes come with no parental advisory. Sounds mutated into pure shadows, an uncompromising immersion into electronic darkness that completes the cycle of a perfect nightmare.
Robert Bergman fires up his hardware for a run of super-salty proto-house and techno workouts. ‘9 Lives Of The Cat – Lives 1-5’ crackles with raw jakbeat energy as his machines are pushed into the red and grooves locked tight. ‘Life 1’ bites with a nagging, bittersweet melody over chattering drums, while ‘Life 2’ spirals into demented Italo-industrial arpeggios. ‘Life 3’ drenches the floor in corrosive acid swill, and by ‘Life 5’ Bergman is deep in wire-fried hypnosis. Tripped-out and uncompromising. Taking cues from Chicago and the Westcoast (NL).
Absolutely killer 11 track double pack of raw techno missiles from Bari, Italy’s hero, DJ Plant Texture. Ultimate club gear that will do total damage anytime, anywhere. No nonsense, committed to the art of music..no false idol worship…just blistering true to form blasting techno cuts made to mix and send em’ into a frenzy. No trends, straight for the throat!
Austria’s Mike Inzinger began his MIR Records project in 2022, and has since released 5 EPs to great fanfare and support, providing a must-hear catalogue of tracks with each new package. Continuing to explore different realms of electronic music, be it acid, ambient, deep, electro and raw techno, his purist works are always interesting and atmospheric by focusing on overall timeless, classic creations with nods to Detroit and yesteryear excellence.
Lonewolf marks its 20th release with a split EP from Log_In and Shkedul. Both artists deliver hypnotic, forward-thinking techno, driven by mantra-like repetitive patterns designed to move the body and free.
Dutch techno producer Troy, has long been a steady presence in the deeper realms of contemporary techno. Known for his timeless sound on labels such as Klockworks, Non Series, and KEY Vinyl, Troy continues to explore the intersection of raw energy and refined sound design on his first Double EP ‘Echoes of Ancient Life’ on Function’s Infrastructure New York. Across these 8 tracks, Troy constructs a continuum between the mystical and the mechanical: deep, tunneling synth lines, evolving textures, and precise rhythmic flow pushing his punchy techno sound to the next level.
Deniro is back on his own label with 4 tracks inspired by 4 cities around the world. ‘Detroit’ opens with deep Motor City techno laced with soft acid and subtle bird calls that bring an organic feel. ‘Amsterdam’ leans more into the drums but is still a warm, supple sound with late night serenity in the pads and ‘Birmingham’ cuts more loose and has taught techno and spangled synth lines. ‘Paris’ has a classic touch with warm surges of synth and icy hi hats that are oversized and jazzy.
Skylax Records presents the second chapter in a landmark 4-part saga — a secretive and conceptual series uniting two titans of French electronic music: Arnaud Rebotini & Acid Washed. Following the acclaimed Winter Sequences (LAXBLACK 01) and Rebotini’s Musical Component, SKYLAX BLACK 3 pushes further into cinematic rave, electro, and techno territory. On the A-side, Artificial Darwinism ignites the EP with raw intensity — fusing early 2000s Blackstrobe energy, UR aggression, and cold wave tension into a hypnotic, funk-laced ritual. They Are Coming follows with darker, driving techno — mechanical yet alive, pulsing with paranoia and urgency. Flip to the B-side for Space Time 303, a dreamy ambient-acid trip evoking early R&S and IDM — ethereal, timeless, and drifting through time. Closing the EP, A Comet in the Northern Sky delivers melancholic electro in the spirit of Dopplereffekt and Drexciya, elevated by Rebotini’s analog mastery. A visionary statement — intelligent, bold, and essential.
Sometimes you’ve just got to point things out for what they are. Brussels-based, French born UFO95 does so impressively on the second instalment of his brutalist architecture-inspired series, framing producer and DJ as alien abductee and diagnosing the current world state from an extranormal perspective. Techno with narrative suffers much unfair derision, so this album is very welcome: the saturated ambience of ‘Dystopie’ sounds like a Heptapod’s warning blasted over glacier valleys, while everything from there is an invasion in churning waves, like the many bulldozing arms of a self-replicating war machine.
Gockel steps out with Otorongo, a 4-track EP of deep, dub-infused techno touched with Detroit spirit. Heavy low-ends, driving rhythms, and atmospheric layers make this one built for heads and dancefloors alike. Each track carries its own depth and character, yet together they form a powerful and immersive journey.
