Mike Inzinger trades with a wide array of sounds, intersecting Ambient, Techno, Electro, House and Acid elements. The upcoming 4-track EP “Final Report” nods to Netherlands’ west coast electro bents, varying from surreal 808-driven groovy acidic realms to immersive atmospheric, spaced-out pads and repetitive percussive wanders
‘My album follows this time an already existing other idea of Electro and will be therefore on my new Label “3MULATOR BOY”. It’s my attempt of a variant of Technobeat-Electro. The inspiration for this came after hearing DJ MELL G at the Mechatronica label night at the Human Club in Barcelona 2024.’
Umwelt and Parand join their considerable forces together for this last outing of the year on the New Flesh label. It comes on translucent green wax and opens with the collaborative ‘Time Paradox’ which fuses techno and electro rhythms into a thrilling, bumpy ride to the cosmos. ‘Spaceshifters’ is their second cut together and this one has more brutal drums and coarse, coruscated percussion. Parand goes it alone on the flipside for an acid-laced electro-techno monster and then Umwelt brings a little celestial melody to ‘Transmission From Hydra.’
TLXCO’s music is rough, pure, imprecise and spontaneous. A lover of analogue jams, bizarre electro rhythms and underground club culture, Pietro Giubilato contains in his work a plurality of different musical perversions which, when exposed, will intrigue the most esoteric type of listener.
Hexagon – the sixth installment in our yearly compilation series – is here, bringing together six tracks that explore a range of powerful and intriguing musical directions. Clouzer kicks things off with a driving EBM monster, setting a bold tone right from the start. Next up, Gunce Aci delivers a high-tempo, hypnotic hard-hitter. Then, Radondo takes us in a darker direction with a haunting EBM piece that blends atmosphere with intensity, creating a sense of eerie tension. Ton Globiter follows with a high energy of a track, infused with his signature vocals that give the track an undeniable punch. Dream Days maintains the momentum, keeping the tensity high. Finally, KMBN wraps things up with an electro-tinged, leftfield track, offering a surprising and experimental finish to the compilation.
In your face new 8 track LP of vicious beat driven warehouse electronics from the L.I.E.S. boss, Ron Morelli. Straight and to the point, “Extinctionist” stands very much in line and continues further in the sonically unapologetic L.I.E.S. Records tradition of the last 15 years.
For release number 051, Dame-Music welcomes E-bony to the label for the first time, with a full EP showcasing his fresh take on the electro sound. His musical style seamlessly blends elements of Techno & Electro, navigating through shades of darkness, light, and funky grooves, captivating listeners along the way. E-bony’s Machine Code EP is made up of 4 tracks, including three originals and a powerful remix of “System Error” by infamous French producer The Hacker.
Planet 303 is a distant astral body where acid rules suprem and the soundtracks that play out there are always unreal, just like this latest one from Acid Synthesis. ‘Actu Ikulurit’ blends 90s breakbeats and dreamy techno synth work with an undulating acid lien that anchors you to the floor. ‘Semplicita Aciduza’ is a little more serene but comes with some lovely melodic rain that falls down the face of the 303 and ‘Hafna 303s’ brings a psychedelic and colourful edge. ‘Actu Malti’ closes with plenty of journeying cosmic charm and celestial energy.
Patience is a virtue well-rewarded in techno; finding the right groove to build on then holding your nerve long enough to pay off the wait at the optimum moment is a much more skillful endeavour than it would seem for such a minimalistic style. And few display this talent better than Detroit originals Scan 7. Part of the hallowed Underground Resistance family, Scan 7 first broke out in the mid-90s with a series of jacking machine funk 12”s that showcased their savvy for self-control – a faculty they have demonstrated in releases year-on-year since. Highlighting this continuous font of vitality, Tresor Records has returned to the source and presents the reissue of Scan 7’s debut LP, Dark Territory. First unleashed on the label in 1996, the album has been remastered from the original DATs by Mike Grinser, augmenting already powerful tracks such as the snake-like, teasing Unusual Channel (mixed by the master Blake Baxter), and the harder-edged VII resulting in music that will, without doubt, provoke an enhanced response when the pressure is finally released.
Prolific and versatile musician Bert Libeert brings his distinctive sound to Italo Moderni making his debut as B1980 with a hard-hitting 5-track Electro/EBM release, crafted to ignite the dancefloor.
E-bony returns to Distant Gaze with a full 6-track EP, diving deep into the unfiltered world of acid and Detroit, where roots meet modern. This release delivers a range of moods and intensities through analog textures, heavy-hitting kicks, and gritty basslines that have become synonymous with E-bony’s distinct sound. As the EP unfolds, PRZ shifts gears into a futuristic electro soundscape, a glimpse into a sci-fi utopia. Clouzer wraps up the EP with a crushing rendition of ‘Let it Be’—a hard-hitting rave anthem.
Clone Jack For Daze on a roll with Tom Carruthers up next. Tom delivering trax that will make you jack all night long. The 4 track EP reflects a keen ear for detail and a deep appreciation for retro-futuristic influences that made the genre. No nonsense classic bleepy techno with lush strings and contrasting metalic basslines fierce enough to keep the energy flowing till sunrise.
Psyk and Orbe consolidate their joint project by releasing their third EP “Tagma2”. This time on Orbe Records with five tracks of uplifting deep and designed soundscaping techno.
More freaky acid waves from the unknown Lost Trax laboratories. A strong follow up to their previous ‘Mind Over Matter’ EP on Delsin where they explored a more oldschool 90’s electronics feel. Right here it’s strictly business with punchy acid lines and timeless pads on 5th Comb Sweep. The Detroit style FM freakiness of Skin Walker and stabby 303 pulses combined with smashing rides on X1 will definitely get crowds moving.
