After Kollaps-Thinking (Mellon Place Records)

Spectral Union, Nomiind & Auren Klyne-Mirror [Mellon Place Records]

Reset Robot has given us two tracks that are absolutely on fire. ‘Rebellion’ is a slow burning, after-hours groover that packs a punch and harnesses percussion elements to the full effect. ‘The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon’ is a lot more of a melancholic offering and leads into a beautiful crescendo to finish any night off in style.

Noir - Obscurité (Reinier Zonneveld's Building Tension Remix) #11 Beatport Techno top 100 tracks

Pre-order: bit.ly/ArpiRemixes

Early support from Jooris Voorn, Adam Beyer, Victor Ruiz, Thomas Schumacher, Wehbba, UNER, Cid Inc, and more.

When Sharam released his sophomore album Retroactive last year, we knew that some of the tracks needed to stand alone as singles, with remixers from some of the top names in house and techno to give them fresh, new dimensions. We begin our journey with the leading track “Arpi,” featuring two astounding remixes from Moonwalk and Dubspeeka and a new VIP mix from Sharam.

Moonwalk, fresh off a huge 2016 that saw releases on Stil Vor Talent and Diynamic among others, leave nothing to the imagination and dive headlong into a blistering remix that shows off the Italian duo’s studio chops. Punchy drums and a relentless, arpeggiated lead make their mix a bona fide heater on the floor.

Where Sharam’s original opts for big, bold arrangement, Dubspeeka (working here under his guise dubspeekaRMX) strips down everything to a raw, skeletal techno groove that paints Arpi’s melancholic lead over a canvas of brooding drums and bass. The result is an eerie, beautiful remix that leaves one with a concrete sense of longing.

Grab Arpi Remixes March 10th exclusively on Beatport.

Sharam - Arpi (Moonwalk Remix)

The  release  opens  with  the  title  track,  The  Mask  Of  Sanity;  Over  8  minutes  of  haunting  synth work and expertly compiled drums that build to a bubbling crescendo of that Reset Robot sound we all know and adore. Track two is Bil'am's Donkey; A harder more-to-the-point weapon with pounding  drums  that  doesn't  mess  around.  Next  up  is Paradise  Lost;  This  is  more  of  a  driving affair with a house twist. Expect to hear this one on repeat across dancefloors this summer. The release  closes  with Oak  Ridge  Capsule;  Mechanical  yet  groovy,  moody  but  danceable,  this  is exactly why we love what Reset Robot encapsulates so much.

Get EdOne & Marc Holstege's EP here: https://stilvortalent.lnk.to/EdOne_MarcHolstege

On SVT214 we find Dutch musician and producer Marc Holstege split the bill with previous Stil Vor Talent & Defected alum EdOne on a deep and mesmerising techno incursion comprising five original tracks.

Artist: EdOne, Marc Holstege @edonemusic @marc-holstege
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT214
Release: 2018-03-09

1. EdOne - In the Shadow
2. EdOne - Spiral
3. EdOne - Circle
4. Marc Holstege - Bisou
5. Marc Holstege - Chasing Shadows

EdOne kicks off proceedings with In the Shadow, a playful piece doused in a quasi-nostalgic mood, decked in dramatic, strain-inducing synths. A tension-filled track, with ample build ups and intense breaks that set the mood for the entire A side. Spiral stays true to its name, building up a story through convoluted layers while carving out big chunks of space through minimal elements. The main runners here are undulating synths, creating hooks and breaks, and aptly timed whistled chants that give the track a sense of mystery. Circle amps up the dark factor a notch, exhibiting eerie and cavernous sounds atop a deadpan lead.

Marc Holstege’s first track Bisou subtly commands attention from the first bars by the way of heavy-hitting, subdued percussion. The focal point, however, is a psalm-like chorus, that raises spirits up and guides the melody along with a perky bassline.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, we have Chasing Shadows, a dim track with an overcast mood. A snaking bassline pools underneath the main synth before making a way to a climactic peak point.

Abe return to their SINNERS imprint this March with another emotive two tracker entitled ‘Asgard’.

Launched in October of 2017, SINNERS has established itself with authority, gaining support from the likes of M.A.N.D.Y., Guy Mantzur, Marcus Worgull and Agoria to name just a few across its first two releases. Guided by Abe, an anonymous duo based out of Europe, the label has become the home of a series of dark yet dynamic self released EPs, and this third release sees the duo continue in a similar vein to deliver two further striking and vibrant productions.

‘Asgard’ opens proceedings to reveal a slow blooming, emotive production that’s guaranteed to draw in listeners. It is these qualities that Abe love to explore and distort, resulting in vivid, rich melodies, whilst sculpting a production effortlessly balanced in both suspense and emotion.

On the flip, ‘The Hunt’ establishes an equally familiar aesthetic as we see the duo return to the peak time, unleashing a series of driving basslines, howling synths and scintillating arpeggio’s over murky percussion shots and hypnotic yet subtle background nuances throughout.

Abe ‘Asgard’ is out on SINNERS on 23rd March 2018.

Get Hidden Empire's 'Mind Palace' here: 
/Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/mind-palace/2217411
/iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/de/album/mind-palace/1348562249

Bridging instrumental tact with melodic mysticism, live act and DJ duo Hidden Empire present their debut album Mind Palace, the fruit of their labour of one whirlwind year. On Stil Vor Talent they find a welcome home, having already gained traction with several releases on the label as well as other renowned imprints such as Suara. 

Ranging from downtempo electronica to iterative techno with groovy house incursions, the diversity of the genres explored across the 16 tracks mirror the Cologne-based artists’ own sonorous influences as well as their diverse musical sympathies.


Artist: Hidden Empire @hiddenempire
Title: Mind Palace
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT222
Release: 2018-03-23

1. Journey into Self
2. World of Fantasy 
3. Hummus
4. Pure feat. Inga Nelke
5. Acid Flashback 
6. Asmoday 
7. Limbo in Detroit 
8. In the Woods 
9. Fafnir 
10. Black Beauty
11. Marching Whales 
12. Tornado 
13. Natural Takeover 
14. Brave of the Minority 
15. Mind Palace
16. Dejavu 

Fluid, atmospheric tracks set a consistently lush vibe overall, from the esoteric kickoff track Journey Into the Self to subtle warm-up tools like the oriental-instilled Hummus and Fafnir, or the couple’s first vocal collaboration Pure. Fellow Cologne singer Inga Nelke brings a touch of sensuality with her soft vocal chops atop a broken beat-infused melody accented with gripping piano chords.

But it’s in club tracks that the album abounds, found often in antithetical pairings, whether it’s the marriage of a Moog bassline and warm Caribbean rhythms in Detroit in Limbo or the juxtaposition of analogue and digital rhythms on In The Woods, created using sylvan recordings as percussion. It’s the title track Mind Palace, however, that reaches the apex of antipolar combinations, displaying a breakbeat-heavy lead doused in exotic vocals perched onto a steady bassline, underlining the artists’ knack for innovative rhythms.

A nod to the classic heydays of acid comes in the shape of Acid Flashback, centred around a massive synth hook courtesy of the iconic Roland 303, a tinge slightly present on the spiralling fierce cut Asmoday, albeit a fraction more subtle.

Energy is one of the key traits of the album, as Branko and Niklas conceive a copious amount of hard-hitting tracks that amplify and engage towards the second half of the record. Black Beauty oozes stamina from the get-go, its relentless groove guiding a subdued bassline and minimal elements towards the peak point. With Natural Takeover, a tech powerhouse with a tenacious lead and ominous vocals, the album reaches its darkest corner of the Mind Palace universe.

All in all, the artists showcase a plethora of straightforward tracks with heterogeneous sound aesthetics, where a closer listen can only reveal further and more elaborate depths.

Get Rafael Cerato & Transcode's EP here: 
stilvortalent.lnk.to/RafaelCeratoTranscode

SVT217 sees a split EP exploring deep tech and biting techno by French producer Rafael Cerato joined by Lunar Plane and Simon Doty on the A-side, with Manchester-based talent Transcode on the flip.

Artist: Rafael Cerato, Transcode @rafaelcerato @transcodeuk
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT217
Release: 2018-04-06

1. Rafael Cerato & Lunar Plane - Darkclaw
2. Rafael Cerato & Lunar Plane - Guru
3. Rafael Cerato & Simon Doty - The Dome
4. Transcode - Adonis
5. Transcode - Orbital
6. Transcode - Skynet 

Rafael Cerato enlists Turkish duo Lunar Plane for two slices of tribal infused grooves. While Darkclaw opens up subtly and marches along a winding intro and zig-zagging lead, Guru takes the exotic mantras one step further. Centred around a hypnotic sitar loop, the build-up makes for an intense, hands-in-the-air moment at peak time, with an energetic release. Known for his remixing chops, The Dome finds Canadian Simon Doty lending his producer skills alongside Cerato in a dark and winding journey into late-night techno antics. 

Previous Stil vor Talent signee Transcode pushes the envelope of his usual style with three spacious and dynamic tracks. Adonis elevates with its upbeat yet slightly nostalgic mood, while the meandering percussion holds the piece’s foundation. Ominous synths and spacious leads mark Orbital as another exciting prospect aimed at stirring up the dancefloor. Skynet rounds up the release on a similarly haunting note, offering up darker textures in perfect contrast with the preceding tracks.

Ukrainian duo Woo York deliver a powerful, driving, dark-yet-sophisticated sound on their upcoming ‘Chasing The Dream’ LP, set to drop on May 4 as the first artist album on Afterlife.

Opening with the brooding and thought-provoking cosmic stabs of the aptly titled ‘Inception’, Woo York guide you through a fluid-like path across ‘Chasing the Dream’, offering fluttering synths on ‘Walk Along The Rainbow’ and a rattling percussive core to ‘There Is A Light.’ Their signature 303 magic hints at acid on ‘Through Peaks and Valleys’, and there is ice-cold ambience to finish in ‘Rise’ and an alternate mix of the title track. A landmark within the Realm Of Consciousness.

SPEICHER X continues our mission to spontaneously release tracks which we feel shouldn’t be confined to the sticks of the elite for months of exclusive DJ play, but tracks that define the immediate moment – made to be played and owned by the people.

Following releases from Michael Mayer, Blackrachas and Patrice Bäumel, we introduce two familiar faces who join forces for the first time. @floriankruse (Suara, Stil Vor Talent, Noir) and @julianwassermann (Stil Vor Talent, Senso Sound) reside in opposite sides of Germany but have managed to come together and sound as if they'd shared a studio for years.

“Gotland” perfectly demonstrates peak time restraint and release with an indispensable long lead, acid tinged, techno behemoth.
