Endless Nothing – Forever Gone [X-IMG82]

hipodrome, , , , , Leave a comment

Italian producer Endless Nothing presents his debut X-IMG release “Forever Gone”, a tightly assembled and refined seven track album of brooding club cuts and finessed sound design topped off by a remix from SARIN. With sonic and creative concepts rooted in exploring themes of urban isolation and the harshness of modern capitalist existence, Endless Nothing weaves between techno, body music and post-punk influences to deliver his distinct sound characterized by crushing basslines, martial rhythms, and distorted, nihilistic atmospheres. Beyond his original productions, Endless Nothing has also made a name for himself as a remixer, working with key operators within the dark electronics underworld.

Dungeon Acid – I’m Downtown Can You Pick Me Up [BORFT177]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

Dungeon Acid’s latest on Borft Records is a proper good example of new school acid house that manages to tap into dark, hypnotic energy but retains plenty of melodic sophistication. Across five tracks, the Swedish pioneer explores dreamy dubby textures, jazzy solos and glitchy, punky edges to create a parallel-universe version of what acid house could be in 2025. Standouts like ‘101-303’ and ‘Unlock Rewind’ showcase haunting elegance and tension-filled build-ups, while ‘Lonely Acid Boy’ and ‘Shnukki’ explore atmospheric contrasts and subtle melodic surprises. Closing with the chaotic yet compelling ‘Chiliflex BB’, the EP is full of contrast and acid house reinvention.

Golden Axe – Mirage [SRNDS006]

hipodrome, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

‘Mirage’ is a musical phenomenon that arises in the atmosphere due to refraction and total internal reflection of analog sound rays at the boundary between layers of trance of varying density, tribal ambient, and futuristic dub. Thanks to this effect, the observer sees imaginary images of distant objects that are normally hidden behind the horizon, as well as their distorted shapes or reflections.

VA – FW 25/26 LP [RRR016]

hipodrome, , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Techno has always moved in cycles, styles fade in and out of focus, but true character stands the test of time. As the genre enters its fourth decade, it’s fascinating to see how experimentation sometimes becomes formula, and how fresh ideas can either break the mould or quietly slide into the mainstream. This new compilation on Repetitive Rhythm Research explores exactly that tension. 12 tracks by 12 artists, ranging from rising talents to established names, each bringing their own distinct approach. This isn’t your typical ‘cut from the same cloth’ compilation. It’s a diverse journey through contemporary techno with all its depth, quirks, and raw energy.

DJ Hell – Neoclash LP [GIGOLO367]

hipodrome, , , , , , , Leave a comment

‘Neoclash’ is DJ Hell’s new work. The Electroclash of the early 2000s is reconstructed here, its characteristic codes extracted and reshaped into a modern, reflective form. Neoclash is a cultural experiment – music as a medium of reflection, a structure for space and time, and a vehicle for exploring the tensions between technology, the body, and perception. Electroclash now – or a manifesto for the aesthetic relevance of electronic club music, combining strong old-school references with a new understanding. DJ Hell, a.k.a. Helmut Josef Geier, delivers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Electroclash genre. International Deejay Gigolo Records was the pulse of the movement 25 years ago – and Hell, its very namesake. Godfather of Electroclash reloaded. 25 years and many milestones later, DJ Hell returns to his roots with Neoclash, proving that Electroclash in 2025 can sound not nostalgic, but forward-thinking and visionary. Neoclash builds a bridge between past and present within electronic dance culture and club music.

Efdemin – Poly LP [OSTGUTLP38]

After a six-year hiatus, Efdemin returns with ‘Poly’ – his fifth studio album, released on the recently revived Berghain-affiliated label, Ostgut Ton. As the title suggests, ‘Poly’ explores multiplicity: of rhythm, texture, style, and emotion. Across eleven meticulously sculpted textures, the album weaves a multidimensional web of sonic references, nodding to the origins of techno while pushing resolutely into uncharted terrain. The overall tone of ‘Poly’ is mild and playful, introvert and at times dreamy. The music is rich in sonic expression and breathes the spirit of musical concepts that have been refined over the course of decades.

One of the founding figures of Amsterdam’s underground Techno culture Dimi Angelis has been shaping the scene in the late 90s, throwing warehouse raves living up to the underground standards. Until today his approach remains unchanged: uncompromising, opinionated, and never aimed at easy pleasing. Drawing from decades of crate-digging and an encyclopedic knowledge of Techno’s evolution, Dimi crafts sets that feel familiar a reveal unexpected depths on closer listening. These tracks follow that same philosophy as they are straightforward and honest on the surface, but wrapped in something appropriately unexpected.

Samo Records brings the Italian trio F.U.R.O. into the fold. Their three original cuts twist together post-punk tension, cold-wave atmospheres, and leftfield electronics – raw, shadowy, and each with its own momentum. On remix duties, Italo Brutalo reimagines the title track into a peak-time rave weapon, injecting touches of acid and elevating the already powerful vocals.
