Over the course of a decade, Wata Igarashi has risen as one of techno's most accomplished DJs and producers. His highly aesthetic trademark sound is as heavily psychedelic as it's driven by its stern kinetic energy. It's often overlooked that Igarashi is much more than a torch bearer of the raw hypnotic techno he became known for. He's also a very accomplished and versatile musician with a deep understanding of the cause and effect of sound design. His skills are fully on display on 2023's full length "Agartha", a film score to a fictitious movie about the mythical underworld of planet Mars. It was a rather obvious idea to cross the bridge between this epic deep listening album and Wata Igarashi's techno persona by having him remix himself. As you might expect, the "Agartha Sorcery Acid Mix" has turned out to be a masterclass in psychedelic designer techno. It's slightly slower in BPM as the usual Igarashi fare but every bit as captivating. The "Floating Against Time Shimmering Mix" shows another intriguing facet of Wata's spectrum. Let's call it: Psychedelic Deep House. KOMPAKT's very own Michael Mayer couldn't resist to turn the Godzilla soundtrack-ish "Ceremony Of The Dead" into a positively hysterical minimal disco operette. And then there's the "Fusion Mix of Abyss II x Darkness" by Philipp Stoffel, a fresh Cologne DJ and producer from whose AKTE club nights a label with the same name is about to emerge. He's definitely one to keep an eye on in 2025.

Captain Mustache & Mel E. Logan & Drop Empowering New Anthem "Pen Weapon"
Following their previous collaborations ("Mentally Naked" and "Good Weather Girl"), Mel E. Logan (formerly of electro-pioneers Chicks on Speed) and Captain Mustache reunite for their latest sonic gem—"Pen Weapon."
A happy, melancholic tinged celebration of artistic empowerment, the track champions the unifying force of language and creativity—proving that words and music can forge bonds stronger than the weapons industry and the oppressive systems running rampant today.
With lyrics like “Hold me friends, I got your back / A curtain falls, take a look—it hung from a tiny hook,” the song reminds us that even seemingly unshakable structures can be toppled
departure from CoS:
Mel E. Logan steps boldly into her solo era, teaming up once more with Captain Mustache for a track that’s as uplifting as it is rebellious.
"Pen Weapon"—out now—is a call to arms (or rather, pens!) for unity, resistance, and the transformative power of art.

Detroit Electronic + Deep Chords

Out July 25th

Following EPM's recent vinyl collaboration with Paris' Yoyaku on Reel By Real's "Surkit – Remixed and Remastered", EPM present a new project, again with a French touch. Madben returns (this time solo) for the "Groove On EP".

Born in the North of France, Madben has retained a taste for DIY culture and a nickname that comes direct from the warehouse. The Lille resident has been "living" techno since his emergence in the scene. From the 1990s, he followed this new scene closely via the flyers he found at local record stores. With his friends, he spent nights in Belgium; Fuse in Brussels, Kozzmozz parties in Ghent or in disused factories in Kortrijk - free and perfect territory to listen to the best sounds of the time.

In 2010, Benjamin put his savings into a rudimentary studio, a pair of speakers, a monitor, a MIDI keyboard and a computer equipped with Reason and Ableton and eventually starts broadcasting it in real time on Soundcloud. Pushed by his friends, he sends demos to Laurent Garnier who immediately responds: Garnier plays a track on his radio show, It is What It Is, on Le Mouv. Madben's name begins to grow and he teams up with Brest festival Astropolis, a French electronic institution, before launching his own label.

Now numerous releases and three albums into his career (two solo productions and one collaboration as Trunkline with Yann Lean), Madben is a steady pair of hands both behind the decks in clubs such as Berghain (Berlin), Printworks (London), Awakenings and De Marktkantne (Amsterdam) or as a producer on labels such as Astropolis, Maceo Plex's Ellum, Skryptom Records, Fedele's Obscura and Berlin based Mobilee.

Following last summer's "We Hit Drums EP" alongside Kosme, Madben continues his alliance with EPM, highlighting that techno not only needs clubland raw power but also that all important groove.

Kick-starting with a rattling break, "Groove On" builds into a club busting roof-raiser, complete with strings, stabs and a party call to arms! "Celebration" wraps itself around a melody that is sonically stamped with Motor City DNA throughout, whilst "My Groovy Animoog" toughens the beat with dark industrial undertones that echo '90s European techno. Closing out we have the hypnotic crunch of "Don’t Mess With My G", where sinister beats meet the darker side of the Windy City.

Living in the shadows between techno and house, "Groove On" draws from Detroit, Chicago and rave culture with equal measure. The very essence of Madben.

CRAVE CAST 037 - ILAYDA B.

MMYYLO is a French producer who has created a niche within techno for his
distinctive approach, fusing analogue synthesizers, guitars, haunting vocals, and
hypnotic rhythms. Here he drops two tracks for Oliver Huntemann’s relentless
Senso Sounds imprint, perfectly merging his own aesthetics with the label’s philosophy.
Innelvisun is a deeply grooving techno burner built around a perfectly crafted arp
sequence that mutates over the track’s run time.
Innelvistep continues the journey with another killer arpeggiated synth from
MMYYLO’s preferred Juno-60, and with the layering of washes and pads builds up
an intense and thrilling vibe.
Of these two tracks MMYYLO states: "I built these tracks following my usual
process. First, I look for inspiration on the synthesizer I always use the Juno-60.
Once the arps are in place, I focus on the vocals and their effects. Then I look for
a guiding line with effects, harmonies, etc. Both tracks were created at the same
time, based on the same foundations. I always try to maintain a groovy, danceable,
and dark atmosphere”.

My Own Shadow: Approaching

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] unleashes the final arc of its 79th release: Francesco Tamburrano – The Gambler. Postscript II

Venice, a city of reflections, where water and time weave fragile lines of fate. It is here that Francesco Tamburrano (@ft-dubtechno) conceived his new album The Gambler – a sonic journey inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Gambler. If the original album was a statement on passion and obsession, the remixes – crafted exclusively by Russian dub techno masters – open the story into new dimensions. We envisioned two postscripts, and now it is time for the second one.

The Gambler. Postscript II is eight new interpretations, eight rolls of the dice with sound itself at stake. The album opens with Sleney (@sleney1996) and his take on “Mlle Blanche”, turning it into a meditative flow of depth and light. Radio Badjay (@radiobadjay) reshapes “Madame de Cominges”, saturating it with hidden drama where the vibration of the bass becomes the pulse of the narrative. Triebfeder (@triebfedersp) brings strict rhythmic geometry to “General”, transforming it into a march of fate reimagined in dub techno pulse. Castle From Indistinct Dreams (@shadow-recruit) reinvents “Mr Astley”, weaving it with hazy visions and blurred contours of memory, turning it into a dreamlike mirage.

In the second half of the album, the tension rises. Dive Craft (@dennykay) adds gravity and weight to his version of “Potapych”, unveiling its sonic density and depth. ODP (@enercube & @x_fr) explores the experimental frontier in “Alexei Ivanovich”, carrying the listener into an acid-futurist perspective where past and future twist into a single spiral of sound. Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer (@enercube & @x_fr) takes us into emotional nostalgia through “Marquis de Grieux”, where memory and passion breathe with the deepest sub-bass and resonate with longing. The final act belongs to Nebula Alchemists (@enercube & @x_fr) with their “Potapych (Outro Dub)” – a step beyond structure, dissolving the album into an endless sonic nebula, leaving the sensation of the last step into eternity.


Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.
