Dallas based producer Decoder lands on Delsin with four versatile techno interpretations. From deep and immersive techno hypnotica to emotive electro bliss. It’s a well rounded EP with some type of elegance from a young producer who seems to have been doing this for decades. Decoder’s sound palette is warm and forceful, very direct yet still sensitive.
Continuing his exploration of intricate techno systems, their effect, and the direct perimeter of action, Peter van Hoesen turns in his newest four-track piece, ‘Prime Directive’: a fascinating dive into the artist’s shape-shifting headspace and inner creative chaos.
Derailed Records and Planet Rhythm team up for an exciting vinyl series, kicking off with Rotterdam’s own ARKVS. Enjoy 4 deep hypnotic cuts pressed on Black Cloud vinyl, ready to captivate your senses.
Moving Pressure 03 lands as Rene Wises third release on his imprint. With a refined approach to rhythm and restraint, the artist once again distills techno to its purest form: hypnotic, percussive, and propulsive.
This new vinyl EP, released by Physical Education label, from Tim Jackiw manifests a high-energy fusion of fast-paced rhythms, melodic textures, and deep acid grooves—crafted for the dancefloor, designed for the underground. A relentless pulse of movement and emotion, pushing forward while staying true to the roots. Just pure analogue energy.
Cult icon Bill Converse trots back to Dark Entries with ‘Trust’. Converse has honed his craft since the early days of the Midwest rave scene, absorbing lessons from luminaries like Claude Young and Traxx. His skill as a producer has been cemented with releases on labels like Dark Entries, Fit Sound, and Obsolete Futures, and his prowess as a DJ has been witnessed on floors worldwide. In recent years, Converse has also pushed audiences to their lysergic limits with his sinewy and kinetic live sets, which pair classic analog boxes like the Roland TB-303 with cutting-edge modular synthesis techniques. The 7 tracks on Trust pick up the wild energy of these live hardware explorations, channeling the splayed beats of Chicago’s Relief Records, the acidic grit of Midwest techno like Woody McBride’s Communique Records, and the hypnagogic hooks of Artificial Intelligence-era IDM. According to Converse, the abrupt changes and off-kilter rhythms are “an effort to facilitate or express trust-making in the listening experience. I want some degree of give and take with the listener.” This process makes Converse’s sound truly singular, the kind of aural landscape that can only be conjured through a lifetime of crate-digging and analog abuse.
Unwonted is a recently founded Electro project by the Techno veterans Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell, providing us with another massive 5 track EP called Analog Astronaut. This record marks the second part of the two-EP series.
“Futurespective” is a remastered compilation featuring the very best releases from the iconic Bulgarian band Les Animaux Sauvages. For the first time ever, these timeless tracks are available on vinyl.
The fifth release on the BINAR-Label is a remix EP of four tracks. Efdemin remixed Decka, Amotik remixed Kameliia, The Lady Machine remixed Kaiser and Jeroen Search remixed Border One. The record is varied with emotional parts, over deep dives up to peak time sound.
Marco Zenker is back on his own Ilian Tape label out of Munich. He brings heavy but soulful drum patterns to ‘909D’ with its fizzing hi-hats and restless energy sure to sweep you up. ‘RC24’ then has skittish snares skating over a broken beat while smeared chords infuse it with warmth and ‘Mango Tango’ then gets prickly with clicky beats and bass. ‘Process Dub’ shuts down with more sheet metal sounds wrapping and wafting between tight drums and backed by a nice diffuse synth glow.
Ryan Huber, from Dallas TX, with another free downloadable minimal electronic / techno release.
Tom Carruthers is back with his debut drop on Syncrophone Prod, bringing straight fire with raw vibes and slick beats. “No Frequency” hits hard with four bangers that blend old-school flavors with a fresh twist.
For their third release Ethos Records invites DimDJ. The well-established Greek artist digs deeper, matching the label’s previous releases, delivering an unfiltered & raw sounding EP.
Since its inception in 2020, Italo Moderni’s energy, spirit and inspiration has been the dancefloor. The darkened bunkers of Belgium, the trembling speakers of Valencia, the warming dawn of Rimini, these influences have been the lifeblood. Solidifying this tireless effort, Mellow Bangers Vol 2 is the label’s most ambitious collection to date.
This is a compilation of 10 edits from the Anatolian Weapons vaults.
