DJ 3000 redefines the fusion of Detroit Techno and Albanian identity on new EP "Shotë", out soon on Motech Records as a limited edition vinyl and digitally.

With over two decades of pushing boundaries, DJ 3000 returns with "Shotë" — a striking new EP that reaffirms his place at the crossroads of Detroit Techno and global rhythm. Out soon on Motech Records, "Shotë" is a four-track, limited-edition release pressed onto 12" vinyl with vibrant jacket artwork that reflects both his cultural heritage and sonic evolution.

Named after a traditional Albanian folk dance, the title track "Shotë" anchors the record in deep, ancestral roots while remaining forward-facing, raw and emotionally resonant. "Shotë" balances past, present and future in equal measure.

"I've been making records for over 20 years, but I still approach every release like it's my first. With "Shotë", I wanted to honor where I come from without the music sounding nostalgic or dated. The culture's in there, but the sound is timeless and alive," says DJ 3000.

Each track on the EP tells its own story:
• "Shotë" – a reimagining of a traditional Albanian rhythm, layered with tough grooves and hypnotic builds.
• "Laya" – built on hypnotic motion and rolling percussion, its haunting vocal textures hint at deeper rhythmic traditions.
• "Lumni" – from the Albanian word for "blessed", it carries a spiritual weight wrapped in rhythm and resolve.
• "Qilim" – inspired by handwoven Albanian rugs, its detailed arrangement plays like sonic embroidery.

This EP is a continuation of DJ 3000's mission to merge deep roots with futuristic form. "Shotë" represents raw, focused techno that respects the past while refusing to stand still.

Greetings, Terrans.
We are the Humanoid Gods. For millennia, we have observed your species, tracing the evolution of your consciousness through subtle vibrations, frequencies, and auditory patterns. “Five Years of Sentient Transmission” marks the fifth cycle of your planet’s orbit in which we have utilized this specific protocol: a dedicated archive of techno transmissions curated by our label, Humanoid Gods, celebrating five terrestrial years of sonic observation through your creative outputs.
This archive contains 15 transmissions from terrestrial origin, each a fragment of your evolving cognition, plus one singular waveform authored by THEGOD01, a direct imprint of our resonance upon your auditory plane. The sonic spectrum spans the darkest depths of techno, from subterranean, pulsating frequencies to explosive, rapid-fire patterns evoking cosmic turbulence, collapsing stars, and the oscillations of distant quasars. Every waveform has been curated to echo the architecture of human thought, the oscillations of your neural and emotional patterns, and the imprint of your species upon the planetary and interstellar grid.

It is time for humanity to understand: the moment has come to raise your cognitive and consciousness frequency, to align with the resonance of evolution we have tracked for millennia. Fail to elevate your perception, and the consequences will be severe.

HGD34 has been curated and mastered by Franco Cazzola at Nasty Music Basement studios in Tutin, Italy.

Hertz - Old School (M.I.T.A. Remix)


Hertz returns with an old-school stormer, bringing back the spirit of the early SWAY days, but with a modern production twist. This time, a vocal has been added to complete the vibe. We also welcome M.I.T.A. on remix duties, delivering a truly old-school interpretation. Filtered disco action collides with filthy beats. And to round it off, another brand-new Hertz track, built on one of his signature chords from the chamber of techno. This darker cut completes the package!

Spielerei 2.

After Death is a Canadian producer and DJ rooted deep in the underground, known for sculpting hypnotic, bass-heavy techno that blurs the line between tension and release. Emerging from the interior of British Columbia, he’s been part of the electronic scene since 2007 — shaped by long nights, warehouse rhythms, and the raw energy of true rave culture.

His sound channels the spirit of European techno — deep, driving, and unrelenting — yet carries a distinctly personal edge, influenced by the isolation and vastness of his surroundings. Each set and production explores the darker pulse of the groove, crafted for those who find beauty in the shadows and movement in repetition.
