French techno ringleader Antigone returns to the fray with "We Are The Soldiers", a dark and brooding two track EP set for release on his very own imprint No Pain No Gain. Over five years’ experience holding down the fort with a residency at Concrete Club in Paris has undoubtedly graced Antigone with the ability to create truly direct and energy focused techno. The raw industrial fever that imbues his tracks has been shaped over countless years of dancefloor exposure, this international luminary has been met with warm reception from industry figureheads and up and comers alike. He has previously commissioned remixes for the legendary Slam, and Detroit icon Carl Craig. Antigone has also released original tracks with the likes of Nina Kraviz and Amelie Lens on their respective imprints.

The EP’s title track “We Are Soldiers” thunders into action with maniacal intent, the blistering rumble of sawtooth synths and nosebleed kick drums bursts through the mix with unrelenting energy. The warlike vocal chant stomps through the arrangement, constantly supplying the track with an impending feeling of urgency and pressurization. The sheer power behind Antigone’s drum work is truly a spectacle to behold, the machine-like clatter of hi-hats drives endlessly atop the thumping low-end impacts.

Next up on VOLTA are Balthazar & JackRock - a duo who perfectly capture the label's core those as they deliver music that's as powerful as it is poignant. Heavy-duty club tracks imbued with passion and flair.

'Ethereal Drive' kicks off with a truly standout club track that melds disparate shades of sound and through adroit production, forms something that's equal parts dynamic and haunting. A pure, crystalline vocal decorates a barbed bass line that consistently rubs shoulders with a fierce, heavy kick. A bit-crushed organ drops in some murky blobs of sound adding to an otherworldly atmosphere before 'Space Crush' closes up with a big-room behemoth.

A wall of industrial-grade sonics power forwards, one kick at a time before a synth line bleeds in, catching the listener off guard. Another unique contrast develops as rich, heartstring chords pull away from the stormy low-end and bloom into a warm embrace of a breakdown. Energy quickly builds, hammering back to earth with force, capping off another stellar addition to the VOLTA catalogue.

Next up on Lisbon's VOLTA is an accomplished 2-tracker from Sisyphos regular Mattia Saviolo.

'Nirvana' kicks things off with some immaculately produced euphoria. Clean, powerful drums and a boxing sub bass lay a broad-shouldered foundation that'll stretch even the most potent of sound systems. What unfurls over this sturdy substructure is a battery of mangled frequencies and warm, luscious synthesis that accumulates energy as it surges toward a spine-tingling breakdown. The track is completely dissolved into a chasmic pool before it charges back up toward a drop that will soundtrack countless standout moments across festival and warehouse dancefloors over summer.

'Together' follows up with another burly set up bones as a dense kick drills through a slew of metallic signals. Savilio then pours more heartstring tones over top as an arresting energy develops toward another wide open breakdown. Fractal vocals rebound off a blossoming arp and together they gather energy towards a striking drop guaranteed to wake up the floor; raw, hard-hitting drums adorned with rich, emotive melodies - truly VOLTA's signature sound in evidence.

Spektre's record label @respektrecordings revisits its back catalogue with the third edition of its Reworks series, and it's a peak time techno release with new remixes by Kos:mo and Sam Kitt.

Kos:mo is a German artist from Cologne who alongside his previous releases on Respekt, has worked regularly with other respected record labels such as UMEK's 1605 and Christian Smith's Tronic. He has remixed Spektre's classic track "Something Inside Us," and he lifts the energy with a new bassline that compliments the original's infectious melody and mysterious vocal.

Sam Kitt is a UK producer from Cardiff, and he is back on Respekt after a recent release on Pleasurekraft's Kraftek. He breathes fresh life into Jody 6's "Hold Me," and delivers an acid techno remix that replaces the original's lead synth with new acid pulses that complement the old-school breakbeat and euphoric vocal of the original.

Both of these outstanding remixes showcase Kos:mo and Sam Kitt to be up-and-coming talents from the Respekt roster, who over the next few months will be returning to the imprint with some brand-new original music of their own.

Label: Respekt

Marcu Rares’s original version of “Lunatique” is a masterpiece from the Romanian Minimal genre, which Tao Andra discovered on Youtube few years back and used to play in her Minimal sets. The two artists are from the same city in Romania and both have a background in Minimal, which made them connect instantly.

Last year, Andra approached Rares about the possibility of making her own version of the song and he immediately sent the parts. A year later, she finished it and this release became reality. 

The remix brings the energy of peak time techno while keeping the emotions and gentleness of the original, the ideal match to have on VOLTA. And a statement why Tao Andra is one to watch.

Powerful. Beautiful. Synergetic.

The Brazilian prodigy has been turning heads all over the world and calling attention with his signature style of psychedelic infused techno and high energy rollers. And this EP is no different. “Resonance” and “Dark Echoes” are a statement in quality and consistency of the amazing artist he is.

Forward-thinking. Creative. Lutgens.

The Argentinian prodigy Nicolas Taboada lands on VOLTA for the first time with an epic release. Nicolas is a statement artist from his country that has already played the best clubs and festivals of Latin America and has been touring Europe for the past years with a packed schedule. His arsenal of releases includes Drumcode, Arcane, Factory 93 and has already made him a force to be acknowledged in the Techno scene.

This release brings two very different yet connected tunes crafted by Taboada.
“The Sound” has an epic narrative with an intro and a breakdown that will turn all the heads on the dance floor and transform all expectation into euphoria, with a rolling beat and a lot of feeling and futuristic sounds.

“In My Mind” is all about groove. Hypnotic vocals and some opera-like choir stabs with a groovy baseline make this a very sexy track and a stomper for big stages and peak time moments.

The Sound is In My Mind! Nicolas is in our minds!
