Amelie Lens’ EXHALE Records continues to deliver fiercely dynamic techno from the underground’s most promising, rising and established artists with its second VA compilation.

Following EXHALE’s first VA release in 2020, the party series turned label once again welcomes existing members, flourishing producers and blossoming new artists to the EXHALE family for its second various artists compilation.

Today we premiere a track from the ‘Civil Unrest’ Co-Founder, Kontain, who is one of 12 excellent artists to contribute to the exciting compilation. Hailing from the rural suburbs of Manchester, Elliott Ogden defines his infectious, bone shattering sound through his acclaimed alias 'Kontain'. Depicting rhythmically complex bass lines, underwritten by thunderous drums and injected with infectious vocal loops, his productions are instantly recognisable through their signature components.

For his contribution to the VA, Kontain dishes out ‘Neck Crank’, a hybrid of gritty rumbling bass chords, strident synths and an unwavering kick

01. 999999999 - Alarm 303
02. Jastice - Hey You

NEWS EMBARGO OCTOBER 22nd
Artist: Various Artists
Name: RWYS Remixes Pt. 01
Label: Involve Records
Cat.no: INV034
Release: November 5th

Regal drops the first remix package from his debut album featuring Slam, PTU and Boston 168. Involve Records boss Regal presents “RWYS Remixes Pt.01” - the first installment of three immense remix
packages from the Spanish techno giant’s debut album, “Remember Why You Started”. Recruiting international powerhouse duo’s Slam, PTU & Boston 168 to rework the earth-shattering originals.
Scotland’s luminary duo Slam kicks off with their edit of “She Dances Alone”. The pair’s distinctive tweak is the alchemization of the kick drum, pivoting into a thunderous force. The kick is paired with claps that ricochet above a determined synth line, while the low-slung baseline mists under twinkling keys andsprinklings of hoover noise, giving the rework an old school feel. Uplifting major notes inject brightness & contrast to the track, with the cunning acid line lingering ‘til close. Next, enigmatic Russian twosome PTU transform “Dealing With My Pain”, a once low tempo mid-point track, into a primary dancefloor weapon. This heavily industrialised rendition utilises an incessantly deep bass drum while maintaining the commanding male vocal sample. Blistering hi-hats, and a wildly distorted synth breakdown build a brash and dubious mood. The thumping kick drum drives the track forward, looping electrical elements that ring out from ear to ear, surrounding you with wild noise and energy. Italy’s acid techno aficionado’s Boston 168 step up to close with their interpretation of “Fearful Nights”. In
true style, the duo mould the very start of the track to blend with their signature sound. A bumping kick drum and quintessential 303 manipulate the melody, resulting in a far more venomous composition than the original. Sinister synth stabs slice through the chaos with a hi-hat and snare drum combination for extra effect.

Tracklist:
A1 Slam - She Dances Alone
B1 PTU - Dealing With My Pain
B2 Boston 168 - Fearful Nights

Premiere: Regal - She Dances Alone (Slam Remix)

Mexico’s Lokier gears up for her first release with Lenske, “Back To Life EP”.

Based in Berlin by way of her hometown Mexico, Lokier has firmly cemented her spot within the European underground scene with appearances at Berghain and Tresor, as well as renowned international venues and festivals Reaktor, Contact, Dimensions, CTM, Nuits Sonores & more. “Back To Life EP” marks Lokier’s debut on Lenske, showcasing her ability to fuse the worlds of industrial, rave, techno and trance with an electrifying 3 tracker. 

On the EP, “Dimension” is a raucous cut that bridges the gap between techno and electro, with acid dripped notes and keys that twinkle and echo menacingly. A heaving kick drum and baseline are determined to bring an ominous energy to the forefront while maintaining the fierceness of the initial elements. Without any respite, the track determinedly drives on and commands you to move right up until the final kick.

KLAMER - Last Flight For Amnesty

Our latest premiere features a track titled 'Stop Crying' by promising French artist Darzack which is forthcoming on his 'A Night Lulled By Cupid Cygals' EP on Parisian label Take Hit Records.

Growing up the artistic hub of Brittany in France, Darzack’s intensive drum and percussions training, piano and singing lessons led him to begin experimenting with electronic music and hardware discovery. 

Darzack’s productions create bridges between various musical styles becoming a huge musical melting pot featuring floaty melancholic moments, acid touches and breakbeat inspirations.  

On the flip side, ‘Stop Crying’ lays down fast-paced drums, rising pads and cosmic leads driving the energy into oblivion.

The EP also sees Darzack invite JoeFarr for remix duties on 'Fucking Masked Depression' which is an absolute killer as you would expect from the man.

Darzack - Fucking Masked Depression
Darzack - Illegal Things
