A deep dive into tension and space. Sparse rhythms, evolving textures, and a slow-burning sense of urgency define Tonyy’s latest EP. Shear Stress invites listeners into a meditative loop, hypnotic, unsettling, and quietly intense. Each track layers kinetic energy beneath minimalist patterns, drawing listeners into a trance state that simulates the slow build and sudden snap of stress under strain.

Vinyl + Digital Release

GTG Premiere | dc11 - Useless Chain [PRRUKBLK131]

Echoes of the Chapel opens with a lone church choir drifting through a cold hall — then the doors slam and the drums hit. Rumble kick, tom-heavy accents, and metallic, industrial textures churn beneath the chant, building a midnight march that feels sacred and menacing at once. Big, moody reverb tails, pressure-valve noise sweeps, and a droning synth bed keep the air tense until the drop caves in the room.

Vibe: Dark Techno / cinematic industrial

Structure: 32-bar DJ-friendly intro • choir-led break • tension build • crushing drop • second-pass variation

After Us is a new Croatian label from Perø launched last year with a open policy to style. The first EP featured the label heads own original music along with quality remixes by Ray Kajioka and Stefan Vincent.

The second instalment welcomes some new faces in the shape of Bosnyak and Petter B. One of Sweden’s rock solid producers, Petter B is a certainly a favourite and trusted techno executioner running his BOND project and having released on the likes of Drumcode, Parabel, Planet Rhythm, Modularz, H-Productions and many more.

For this DT:Premiere we selected “Speed Dial” that is a brooding and thundering groove that doesn’t play games. Pounding drum sequences and hats in all the right places, it’s a raw, DJ weapon at its fearsome core.

@arnaudletexier - Mystery Picker EP (Soma581d)
1. Collisions
2. Mystery
3. Picker
4. Parallel Razor

UK based Arnaud Le Texier returns to Soma with yet another hard hitting, warping release entitled Mystery Picker. A regular on the global Techno scene, Arnaud’s productions are densely packed and built with attitude. 

Collisions opens the EP at full pace as modulating synths gather momentum, building in intensity with every step. Mystery steps up next, another energy packed affair that doesn’t pull any punches as its hypnotic elements, paired with hammering percussion deliver a hard, driving track. Picker slows things down momentarily but doesn’t drop out on intensity. Constantly modulating and warped synths dominate this more hypnotic track. Parallel Razor closes out with more aggressive elements taking the forefront. Distorted and dark and packed full of jarring and dynamic rhythms, this is a perfect closing track from one of the UK’s undoubted talents.

Methodical is the newest venture from Italy’s MTD who introduces his latest alias with debut album titled Focus. He is also the owner of the seasoned label Sonntag Morgen and as an artist, has seen his music on imprints such as Animal Farm, Blackrod, Affekt, and Gynoid Audio.

This eleven track pack is nothing short of total excellence, with diverse ideas, yet solid club functionality. Familiar and new is difficult to achieve for any artist and we hold him in high esteem with no sign of filler, which is hard to find in the abundance of the digital world. Proving his production pedigree and consistently hitting the spot, this album is essential to real techno lovers.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the track “Köln” that gets into some mental pleasure with its hypnotic techniques. Using spacey drones and wonky modular stabs to create a moving and morphing sonic masterclass of exceptional analogue beauty.

The 44th vinyl from Hidden Recordings courtesy of JC Laurent with an additional remix by Mike Parker. Deep, hypnotic techno centered around being powerful and effective DJ tools.

Hidden continues its thorough exploration into the deep and hypnotic realm of techno with an avant-garde and dance-floor ready release by mainstay JC Laurent, titled Through Differences. Included is an instantly recognizable remix by spatial sound virtuoso, Mike Parker.

Side A begins with "Through Differences" and its rich, organic textures levitating around clever drum work, building tension then releasing with timely percussion. Featuring Mike Parker’s meticulously honed vision of techno, he’s carves out a brutal remix matching his vintage ritualistic sound locked into its own space and frequency.

Side B begins with "Backwards" and its raw drums aggressively paving the way for an edgy, stripped-down and intense vibe. "Navigates Time" and Space locks you in immediately with a groovy baseline and rolling snares for a special after-hours feeling.

"Silence as Weapon" has a distinct off-kilter sensibility with rollicking drums and jabbing percussion.
