Aubrey – Super Analog EP [A.R.T.LESS2165]
Since the early 90s the name Aubrey has stood for authentic UK Techno with deep roots in Chicago, Detroit and New York. His “Super Analog EP” for Mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less isn’t a look back, but a statement on the timeless power of analog sound. The four tracks are a journey through a spectrum of moods: from the cosmic expanse of “Big Six” and the playful acid touches of “Time Flying” to the raw, hypnotic energy of “Robber Nose” and the wistful depth of “Mysterious Rhythm.” This is music that can connect generations, an inspiration for seasoned listeners and new explorers alike. A stunning label debut that needs no grand explanation because it tells its own powerful story.
SEER – Detour 006 [DTR-006]
Detour 006 comes courtesy of SEER, a new Brooklyn-based project from Maroje T and M Parent. Together as SEER, they’ve threaded a needle in between their respective styles and sounds, coming up with something altogether different. Their debut record throws a little bit of everything into the mix: chopped-up breakbeats, post-industrial moods, syrupy mid-tempo electro, and spectral, futuristic synths all feature across its four tracks. Each charts a different path; same-ol’ cookie-cutter techno this record is most certainly not.

C.L.A.W.S – Splat City II [DE-322]
C.L.A.W.S. comes to Dark Entries with a new ripping LP, Splat City II. C.L.A.W.S. is the solo project of musical luminary Brian Hock, who has been a key figure in the Bay Area underground for over two decades via his involvement in projects like Bronze and The Vanishing, as well as helming the record labels Squirrels on Film and Immortal Sin. With C.L.A.W.S., Hock takes on the dancefloor, picking up cues from the Hague’s Giallo-dipped electro, the skewed minimalism of Chicago acid, and the mind-rending forays of San Francisco post-punk icons like Chrome and Tuxedomoon. Following 2019’s inaugural Splat City EP, Splat City II continues to map the psychogeography of a metropolis both alien and immediately recognizable, one where life is cheap, but so are the thrills. Previously released on Squirrels on Film in digital-only format, this expanded vinyl edition of Splat City II features two new cuts.

VA – Elementa Obscura Vol. 02 [EOD002]
The second volume of Elementa Obscura moves with even greater force toward the dancefloor: six tracks straddling the lines between industrial, electro, and wave. From FIUMEs cold, pounding opener to Memorexs spacious analog explorations, Nyxloids metallic EBM visions, and Ole Mic Odds razor-edged electro workout, the compilation spans the full spectrum of the underground. Spanish newcomer Thai Lady Boy brings chaos with a fractured industrial techno cut, while RNXRX closes with a ritualistic music excursion.
Umwelt – Echoes Of The Broken Future EP [NF33]
Umwelt returns on his own imprint, New Flesh Records, with a new explosive solo EP. ‘Echoes Of The Broken Future’ delivers an ecstatic fusion of sonic landscapes and innovative melodies, further erasing the boundaries between electro and techno. From the metallic synthesis of the title track, to the cinematic and almost nightmarish tension of Black out Algorithm, through the hypnotic depth of Synthetic Nightfall or the relentless energy of Zero Point Machine, Umwelt once again showcases his unmatched savoir-faire in crafting haunting atmospheres over punishing beats.
Paranoid London & Water Machine – Decimated Driver [PDON015]
Paranoid London collaborate with Glaswegian band Water Machine for an acidic two tracker. The London-based duo of Quinn Whalley and Gerardo Delgado are known for their stripped back acid house sound and ‘Decimated Driver’ fits the agenda once again. The track utilizes catchy distorted synth lines to drive the groove, carefully placed on top of a pounding and infectious 303 bassline. Throw in some chants of “AN – TI – CI – PA – TION” by Water Machine and they have managed to craft a perfect dancefloor filler. The second side of the record is a dub version of the track, making it all the more broody and moody.

The Headaches – Untitled [B18]
Another dispatch from two familiar conspirators of the Brew fold, Beau Wanzer & Jason Letkiewicz together as The Headaches. 4 tracks of the heaviest sonic mutations that feels part seance and part sweat-drenched dancefloor. Good for nocturnal roaming through the city or for a frenzy in heady basements.
Marcel Dettmann – My Own Shadow: Approaching [K7458EP]
Dettmann’s live project ”My Own Shadow” is, in his own words, ”a space where all of my artistic expressions meet,” blending techno with film, sketches and photography. The shows are less club sets and more immersive experiences, where the audience gets lost in a ”full sensory narrative.” My Own Shadow’s first official release, Approaching, is a five-track EP, complemented by his own photography on the artwork. The music spans techno and ambient, fizzing with a madcap funk and energy quite unlike any of his previous productions.

DJ Nephil – Aqueous [GRTW018]
A raw and urgent 6-track EP from label head DJ Nephil. Aqueous delivers a high-voltage mix of electro, acid, and punk-fueled energy. Driven by classic 808/909 drum workouts and soaked in corrosive synth lines, this release hits hard across tempos and moods. Deep and dirty machine funk for the floor, a future classic on Gravitational Waves.
Scott Fraser – Expanded LP [DXLP01]
East Kilbride’s Scott Fraser finally comes good on a 25 year promise to his younger self with his debut solo album on his own label DX Recordings out of London. This record represents the closing of this chapter and the opening of a new one. A truly international and collaborative project pulling together the help and talent of friends around the world with mastering by Radioactive man Keith Tenniswood, cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery and world class US visual art and design legends, Tim Saccenti and Nick Martin on photography, artwork and design.
