Copenhagen’s Northern Structures duo return on Sonic Groove with their second release entitled “Service & Devotion”, following up perfectly with three more songs of well crafted industrialized dark pumping techno.
Mikkel Metal – Mazurski / Cassini EP [TARTELET019]
Mikkel Metal’s new Tartelet EP travels deep into the spectral voids of space. Empyrean pads and raw drums reverberate in our ear meatus on Cassini -soft kicks with shrill claps and a prodding bassline bringing back memories of Mikkel Metal’s earlier dubby excursions.
Unbalance – Deformed Reality EP [SMR009]
Sonntag Morgen presents the new release by The Russian Unbalance featuring four tracks of pure dub techno. Sounds that can remember the cold winters, the industrial cities in the early hours of the morning. The rhythms are techno, softened by the atmosphere of classic dub techno.
Marcel Dettmann – Translation EP [OSTGUTTON052]
Dettmann’s unique textured sound design sets the scene for new moments of discovery. Launching us into the space-race, “Barrier“ documents those tense moments of discovery as we reach into new territories. “Translation One” is a frantic, quivering and snaking snapshot into the kind of techno the producer stands for these days. Metallic bass spins sideways, while evermodulating percussion drives forward. The sinister sci-fi tones of “Translation Two“ warble and jive in glorious syncopation as a systematic heavy kick and hat program works the bass frequencies and rhythmic zones. Open and spacious, its meandering theme hangs deliciously between paranoia and positivity. In “Planning“ Dettmann further explores his inclination for intricate, tripping synth patterns. A staggered, wonderfully immersive theme builds from delayed staccato notes in a classic analog sequence, underpinned by rumbling dub bass pressure.
Phil Kieran / Jochem Paap – Workshops Vol. 01 [DLX018]
„Workshops“ is a new experimental series of releases by Phil Kieran and Jochem Paap (aka Speedy J), to explore the recording techniques dating right back to the mid 1950‘s. Famous inspirational places like ‘BBCRadiophonic Workshops’ in England and ‘Philips Lab’ in Holland have seen some of the most innovative production techniques, experimenting with the first use of stereo, modular synths, found sounds and reel to reel tapes. The end result was always something space age and promisingly futuristic and still to this day fresh sounding, crisp and exciting. The first Issue of ‘Workshops Vol.1 EP’ consist of three flowing tracks with an inimitable organic and atmospheric appeal.
Lucy – Monad X [SAM010]
Lucy’s Monad X plays with Pythagoras’ vision of ‘X’ as the numeral that perfectly envelops the entire nature of numbers. But Monad X is anything but a benign portrait of creation. On ‘Triad’ primal dub erupts into gnarled noise, the undercarriage of ‘Tetrad’ writhes unset – tlingly against the strictures of 4/4 and ‘Pentad’ is underpinned by a decidedly ghostly aesthetic. To close, ‘Decad’ hovers over a vortex and it’s here that from the Monad the Dyad starts to emerge.
Advanced Human – Air EP [GYNOID005]
The Advanced Human – ‘Air’ EP is the latest deep offering from Gynoid Audio. “Air”offers up rolling Dub keys surrounded by intricate percussion and a drive aimed at the dance floor, rich with dub chords, atmosphere and reflection. The EP comes with remixes from Markus Suckut, Raiz and Ground Loop.

After 2010’s retrospective of his most seminal work, these are the first new tracks under his Reel By Real moniker since almost two decades.

Monty Luke – Tomorrow [BC001_101]
The first release on Black Catalogue is coming from owner Monty Luke. The “Tomorrow EP” contains three tracks and gives an eclectic glimpse into what just what Black Catalogue is all about. The A-side, “Tomorrow,” is a sub-bass driven snapshot one of Detroit’s possible futures. “The Next” is simply a message. And the double-A side, “Yesterday & Today” is a Detroit dancefloor record that takes a filtered disco hook into a future direction.
Mark du Mosch – Exegesis EP [TABR006]
Mark du Mosch takes you on his unique journey that glides perfectly between contrasting emotions. Sombre notes brush with warm melodies over four bubbling tracks that are as at home on the 4am shift as they are on the stereo.
Container – LP [SP007]
Container is a recent moniker of Nashville, Tennessee resident Ren Schofield. The sounds on this release are a thick stew congealing new ideas and naive experiments, abstract and minimal in nature with time stopping tendencies. This music, by being so unruly and defiant of any kind of trend, has created a fresh and wierd fusion.
Matt O’Brien – Bleep43 Podcast 207
Eduardo de la Calle – S-D 10245 Berlin Summer
Max_M – The Kidnapper Bell [MRECLTD009]
Max_M with an original on his own M_Rec LTD, a journey with a very deep sound, something that comes from his background, a walk through Detroit, Birmingham and Berlin. A rhythm that is not heavy, repetitive riff that nullifies any inhibitions. It’s definitely evil, it’s a reminder of the deep and pure techno. Remixes by Shifted and Ascion.
Matt O’Brien – Bloom [OK006]
New release from Matt O’Brien on his own Off-key Industries. ‘Bloom’ lays it smooth and stealthy, riding fat, subs-driven rhythm daubed with fluttering Teutonic synth into a subtly show-stealing breakdown and back to business. On the flip side, ‘Without Warning’ has body-slydin’, mentasm style synth licks and droning pads.
Legowelt – Fly Away From The Hood Mix
Legowelt – The Teac Life [LEGOWELTLP001] [FREE ALBUM]
Words coming from Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt:
“Ok people here it is the new Legowelt album which is free to download for u all Its got a hella lot deep tape saturated forest-techno tracks on it and when I say Techno i dont mean that boooooooooooring contemporary shit they call techno nowadays with overrated tallentless pretentious douchebag cunt DJs playing a few halfassed dumb mongo beats and being all arty fartsy about it.
F*ck that, I am talking about: Raw as fuck autistic Star Trek 1987- Misty Forests- X-FILES,- DETROIT unicorn futurism made on cheap ass digital & analog crap synthesizers recorded in a ragtag bedroom studio on a TEAC VHX cassettedeck in DOLBY C with an unintelligible yet soulfull vivacity.
if you like it you can donate some $ or Euros, Any donation small or large is appreciated u can paypal to: wolfers@xs4all.nl so I can buy more crap synthesizers to make stuff like this and repair my Roland Juno 106 which stopped working during the recording of this album…probably cause this shit is tooo deep and it just couldn’t handle it…. doesnt matter, the bottom line question is CAN U HANDLE IT???”
