Tom Carruthers – De-Facto EP [CKNOWEP61]
Tom Carruthers joins Craigie Knowes. Tom’s commitment to the ruff n’ ready sound of dance music’s formative years is unshaken on the De-Facto EP, bundled with the same synths, drum machines, samplers and FX used in the by-gone golden era of the UK acid, breaks and hardcore scenes. Soul is found in disorder, not in a world that places false hope in perfectionism.

Claudio PRC – Drifting Northward EP [WU95]
Claudio PRC is something of a techno legend who has already very much assured his own legacy, but he keeps on coming up with the goods each and every time he steps out. This time that is on the Warm Up label with a stylish and deep EP of classy techno. ‘Elliptic’ is a sparse and dubby roller with icy pads, ‘Focal Zone’ then picks up with a more busy percussive line that pans about the mix and comes in and out of focus over rolling beats. ‘Axial’ is another delightfully deft deep techno cut with only there most scant and wispy synths joining the rolling beats. An Oscar Mulero remix rounds out with more intensity.
Mascarpone – Chronology Of The Universe [NOCT009]
The 9th release on Nocturbulous Records. Mascarpone explores the darkest side of Electro, experimenting analog sounds just like in a scientist lab in the 1960’s. Features remixes by Arpatronic and CT Kidobó.

The Curtis Electronix saga follows up with new material from its head and curator CEM3340. Despite keeping its roots firmly into the deepest depths of electro, Future Tribe EP moves slightly away from his usual purism and across the four tracks manages to strike a careful balance between beauty and austerity, harmonizing elegance and restraint with the booming energy of techno and funk.

Kerrie – Machine Alliance [TRESOR370]
Machine Alliance, the new EP by Irish producer Kerrie Anderson on Tresor Records, connects her music to the sci-fi origins of techno and electronic music in general. With inspiration from classic books and films of the genre such as The Machine Stops, The Matrix, and Blade Runner as well as modern explorations in art and philosophy like Free Your Mind and Technopoly, the EP’s title takes on two opposing but intersecting meanings.
Neel – Disco Quarantine EP [IT53]
Neel lands on Interdimensional Transmissions with the “Disco Quarantine” EP. Exploring the boundaries between genres, simultaneously pure deep techno and disco — this is rarely achieved — he continues to explore the edges with the ever propulsive title cut, and further connections with each song. Psychedelic, propulsive, subtle, perfectly produced gems ranging from hedonistic underground moments where time ceases to exist to moments of exploration throughout the cosmos. It feels like the B side opener Deep Quarantine was composed for the environment at No Way Back, though it is equally eternal and available to any floor anywhere in the world.
Rene Wise – Moving Pressure 01 [MP01]
Founded by Rene Wise, Moving Pressure is a record label aimed to explore the immersive dialogue between soundsystem music and the human body, celebrating the profound connection of sound and movement.

Each track on the EP contributes to a harmonious blend of innovation and restraint, inviting listeners to embark on a captivating journey through the artistry of sound and rhythm. Sometimes, it’s the space between the notes that resonate the loudest.
