Needs moves into the future of vinyl production partnering with Green Vinyl Records in Holland to produce a 100% recyclable record which uses 60% less energy cost compared to traditional vinyl production methods. This revolutionary step in vinyl history features the production skills of Saoirse, Reptant, Sansibar, Pugilist, LUXE and Hassan Abou Alam.

For Needs 009 we welcome another all-star lineup of producers, established and emerging, from around the world. Featuring room 1 ready techno from one of the scenes leading lights Saoirse; a bass heavy, electro-tech weapon from Melbourne's Pugilist; the cosmic electro baselines of the irrepressible Reptant; an otherworldly space excursion courtesy of Norway’s finest Sansibar; dancehall inflected acid trance from London-based up and comer LUXE; and to round things off some twisted breaky tech-house from Egypt’s latest export Hassan Abou Alam.

THE PROBLEM
With 4.3m vinyl sales in the UK last year (the 12th consecutive year of growth), it’s clear that vinyl is back in a BIG way. But the basic technological principles of record pressing have not changed for a century. While the vinyl boom has been a bright spot for physical media lovers and the record industry alike, pressing vinyl poses a more urgent environmental concern than it did in the format’s heyday. At times, the process can seem almost antithetical to green living. Records are made of PVC, which comes from refined oil and can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in a landfill. Traditional pressing machines are powered by steam boilers that require fossil fuels to generate heat and pressure; the water used is treated with anti-corrosive chemicals in order to prevent rusting, thus creating more wastewater. And that’s just the pressing procedure.

Consider, then, vinyl’s packaging and distribution. The ink that’s used to print cover art and liner notes is traditionally solvent-based, meaning it contains volatile organic compounds that can contribute to the production of ozone. Once the record is encased in a beautiful jacket, it’s then shrink-wrapped in plastic wrap before boarding a gas-burning, carbon-emitting truck to ship. Suddenly the choice to buy physical music shifts from an action that helps sustain an artist’s career, to one that potentially threatens broader sustainability.

THE SOLUTION
In 2019 Needs started conversations with Green Vinyl, a brand new pressing plant based in Holland, who have devised a revolutionary production method which uses injection moulding rather than steam energy, equalling 60% less energy cost than the traditional vinyl production. It also uses no PVC and is a 100% recyclable product, meaning you can dispose of it in your home recycling bin.

The other benefits are that the record sounds better (it has a wider frequency spectrum), it cannot warp, and it also has a longer play life.

The key features of a Green Vinyl produced record are:
- Injection Moulding instead of steam pressing
- 60% less energy cost 
- No PVC
 - 100% recyclable product
- Wider frequency spectrum - sound is equal or better than traditional vinyl pressing 
- Longer stamper life time - can be played more than 400 times (traditional vinyl starts to deteriorate after 100 plays)
- Rapid vinyl turnaround of 8 weeks (wait times are generally 12-16 weeks)
- No warping of records 
- No paper labels

Green Vinyl is currently the only pressing plant in the world with this technology and we are proud and honoured to be the first label to work with them and share this amazing new technology with you all.

PBX32: Star Gazing K1 / Dopplereffekt
Keith Tucker and Gerald Donald of Dopplereffekt did it……They finally got together two of the originators from the monumental Detroit electronic groups Aux88 and Drexciya. The combination of these two musicians has created a retro bombardment of funk as only Keith Tucker and Gerald Donald can bring. That unearthly eerie funk and strings from other worlds. This release gives a sense of a melding of Cybotron and Kraftwerk….That snappy intelligent funk that Detroit so heavily influenced and unleashed to the universe

1) "Star Gazing"- Is reminiscent of Cybotrons eclectic funk style with Tucker unmistakable electronic vocals and electronic beats slapping you in the face.

2) "Telescope Array"- Is an extension of Gerald Donald legendary aliases that give listeners that cold minimal drum and beautiful arps that hypnotize. Thumping bass line and …..bonus vocal interlude at the end of this interstellar track

Back To Basics (Part 1)

Track Ten

Juan Atkins and Moritz von Oswald – the two indispensable protagonists of the Electric Garden – plug back into the wilderness. Transport – the new full length effort of the Borderland collaborative project – brings together a new set of studio-refined sequences aimed at colonizing some of the dark energy that pulsates through those areas that are thoroughly electrified, even if not ‘on the grid’.

The Detroit-Berlin axis triangulates to a third point which, like the atomic particle that lives in two places at once, flickers between a form of techno-charged ambience and a futuristic club-jazz which cannot be broken down into constitutive parts. Borderland remains caught in a state of enraptured stillness, invisibly moving between every
imagined future for electronic sound making. The result: a font from which springs serene and exhilarating musical ideas that vibrate with refined energy for sixty seconds in every minute.

Boris Bunnik goes under many aliases. Numerous smaller projects, some faceless projects but mostly known and well respected for his Conforce project. As Versalife he found his way to the Frustrated Funk and Clone familia. His recent LP entitled Encrypted Mind showed Versalife going into a more downtempo experimental soundscape terrain. Soul of the Automaton however tends to lean more on beat orientated electro broken rhythms, still playable for dj’s who are looking to cut up their house and techno sets with something a little more emotive and provocative. With ominous bass, analog rhythms and icey sophisticated atmospherics Boris shapes his trademark crisp production style. His music often tends to go into technical directions but he is certainly able to intertwine the right human elements, reminding you that this isn’t purely machine music. This is soulful techno, electro with subtle ambient elements and IDM echoes, touching the more experimental side of music here and there. Bunnik has not completely severed his links with the past though but he is unafraid of the future. This is again immersive, contemporary and emotive music constructed on the West Coast of Holland in the harbour city of Rotterdam. Real beauty doesn't come from the unavoidable music industry promotion cosmetics. Real music should reach your soul, and can only be explored through direct transmitted waveforms.

Lost Trax - Out of Mind - FR051

Versalife’s second release for 20/20 Vision sees Dutch producer Boris Bunnik aka Conforce return with another slab of signature electro.

'Clandestine Development’ serves up dark tones and melodies layered within insistent electro beats and growling bass, that sounds huge on big room systems. ‘Aegis’ delivers a double dose of mechanical funk, played over atmospheric strings and auditory acid delights. 

On the B side ‘Lamba’ continues to impress with a moody laidback bass line holding the groove down over a solid rhythm & dystopian keys. Wrapping things up the title track 'Asimov's Code' plays out like war drums from space pounding away after a blissful intro of building synths.

‘Cosmic Language’ is Versalife‘s third release for TRUST. This time Versalife explores the use of universal codes in electronic music across four tracks that distil classic and modern electro, analogue techno, and experimental bass music into one of TRUST‘s most eclectic releases to date.

Versalife is the project of Rotterdam-based artist Boris Bunnik, which complements his various aliases such as Conforce, Hexagon, Silent Harbour, and Vernon Felicity with a unique perspective on contemporary Electro music. Only in his early 30s, Bunnik has already contributed a sprawling discography to the electronic music canon over the past decade, spanning styles from techno to electronic dub and ambient across 15 albums and dozens of EPs for imprints such as Delsin, Rushhour, Echocord, Clone, Cultivated Electronics, and 20:20 Vision. The 12” version of ‘Cosmic Language’ ships in new TRUST label sleeves designed by dextro.org that symbolize the coexistence of continuity and change in TRUST’s 20-year-long label history.

PREMIERE: Versalife - Neogenesis (TRUST)

A. Juan Atkins - I Love You 
B. Audiotech aka Juan Atkins - Techno City '95

This winter Tresor dons hardhat and flashlight once again to exhume more lost treasures from its stated past. Under the guise of it’s own 10-year dormant Archiv Series—which saw cuts from the likes of Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Blake Baxter and Eddie Flashin’ Fowlkes brought back to wax and dancefloors worldwide—comes a reissue EP straight from the heart of the club’s former Wertheim department store days, courtesy of long-time resident Juan Atkins. 

On the A-side there’s the slow-burning spangled ballad  “I Love You”, from his 2004 record ‘Fast Forward’ - the last track to be played at the old Tresor, while the B-side hosts a stone cold Metroplex classic: “Techno City”, a track so slick it’ll never go out of style. Sit back and remember the good times, or discover them a-new, all over again.

B. Audiotech - Techno City '95
