Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit aka Herman starts this project for his production that one would not directly link to his Chicago house rooted Basic Soul Unit releases. Herman delivers two hot tracks with dubstep fueled beats, sub bass driven grooves with Detroit influenced sounds that one could expect on a label such as Hessle Audio.
Raw and spaced out stuff from Ilian Tape. The compilation includes tracks from Franco Cinelli, Regen, Papol, Kasper, LaChriz, Marco Zenker, Jonas Kopp and of course label boss Dario Zenker. Ilian Tape has been expressing their own idea of soulful music for 3 years now. Expect more from the esoteric falcon crew from Munich.
Two tracks of advanced techno transmissions from the one and only Surgeon! ‘Compliance Momentum’ is the first new Surgeon release in three years (not counting the “live” release ‘Hello Oslo’), making an assuredly solid return to the scene with two pure and incremental progressions of his legendary style. ‘Compliance Momentum’ bravely shows his ability to draw in outside influences while remaining resolutely techno.
“Central’ is the first new Technasia album in five years. The much-anticipated LP is powerful testimony to why Technasia is one of the most respected acts in electronic music. Taking its name from the Hong Kong metro system, ‘Central’ is an emphatic creative statement that marks a new milestone an evolving story.
Kriss Kortez aka Life Recorder hits up on snapshot digital with three fine techno tracks, packed with soul featuring a remix of Late Night by label head Elliott Dodge.
Old classic from Talley gets re-released with two solid remixes from Delano Smith & XDB. For house music lovers, Sushitech & its sister label Pariter are on it with timely re-issues and new remixes!
Devilishly catchy melodies and basslines, full of feeling and soul, evolve and grow as the arrangement develops to leave you on an almighty high. Big drops, super heavy drum programming and grooves that sound like only Joy Orbison right now. There’s shades of garage, shades of funky, shades of old school R&B.
New Double pack with a sweet 6 new tracks with Redshape’s trademark sounds! Hot on the heels of his last years album that created quiet a stir among journalists, we think this one tops that one just because it contains more of the freshness and playfulness which made Redshape one of the most popular techno artists of the last years! This release will boost your energy level and makes you want to hit the early morning hours in a club.
The glory days of SPEICHER resound in our ears once again – its time for techno to take a front row seat in the rave cathedral. Destination: future unknown. This is what the disco kids will certainly scream for as they now start to yearn for darkness in their dance. The perfect storm – a cold fusion of peak roar techno that is 100% classic SPEICHER.
20 years of brutal, no-holds barred techno. Adam X’s Sonic Groove imprint has rarely wavered in intent or in sound, a compellingly consistent watchword for the sort of electronic music that puts hair on the chest of its male fans and God knows what for its female followers. Dasha Rush’s new EP for the label continues in this vein. It’s a cleaner ride than Obtane’s recent 12-inch, but it’s no less intense, trading dank random industrialism for deep tracks that parcel out their steam pipe explosions carefully.
Perc opens up the Vertigo releases with his most singleminded track in years. Based around a looping, lo-fi groove BCG is both a perfect DJ tool and an unforgettable lead track. Occasional blasts of distortion break up the rhythmic flow but this is no clichéd white noise soaked epic, just pure heads-down basement techno. Remixes from Forward Strategy Group and Milton Bradley.
After his recent releases on his own A.R.T. label, Kirk has shown us that he is back in effect. This double a-sided 12” confirms just that! Two solid techno tracks that both are steaming dance floor tracks, yet they both have a sophisticated, almost elegant touch.
