Agile Recordings

Uto Karem makes a return to his label Agile Recordings with two new techno tracks in his trademark style that fuses powerful synth lines with dark atmosphere and heavy percussion.

One of Italy's most accomplished artists, he has a career in music that spans over two decades, and he has been influential in developing the country's thriving techno scene.

He has DJ'd all over the world including many of Europe's top festivals ranging from Miami's Ultra Music to Tomorrowland. His back catalogue of releases are equally impressive, including music signed to labels such as Richie Hawtin's Plus 8, Dubfire's SCI+TEC and UMEK's 1605.

'Meditate' opens the EP with its thrashing hi-hats and fizzing ride cymbals that build suspense behind the intense vocal samples. Dark and intense, this understated track has a fast and furious energy that's perfect for peak time DJ sets.

'Just Keep Pushing' is next on the EP and it's a deeper cut with dubby pads and a rolling groove that's fuelled by a pulsating bassline. Its seductive vocals add to the murky atmosphere underpinned by the pounding of the chunky kick drum.

Simina Grigoriu kicks off 2025 with a powerhouse release, teaming up with Italian techno maestro Hollen for the ‘Remote Control’ EP - out now on her imprint, Kuukou Records. Packed with three hypnotic tracks - ‘Remote Control,’ ‘Kaoss Physics,’ and ‘Wrong Or Right’ - this EP delivers a high-octane dose of cutting-edge techno built to dominate global dancefloors.

Simina and Hollen’s collaboration is a seamless blend of pulsating rhythms, intricate textures, and deep, driving energy. From peak-time bangers to hypnotic grooves, the ‘Remote Control’ EP is a statement of intent for the year ahead. 

The title track kicks off with commanding beats, hypnotic synths, and sharp industrial hits. Digital, robotic vocals cut through the mix, adding an edgy touch as the track’s relentless drive pulls listeners deep into its magnetic orbit. Following on, ‘Kaoss Physics’ takes a deeper dive, layering glitchy textures, intricate synth complexities and rolling momentum to create a darker, moodier vibe. Closing out the EP, ‘Wrong Or Right’ drives forward with fast-paced, heady rhythms and crisp percussion at its core, while a gritty, vocal sample adds an extra layer of intensity. With its industrial edge and feral spirit, the track is primed for vast warehouse spaces, delivering pure dancefloor dynamism.

Following the success of her final 2024 offering ‘Resident Frequency’ - a tribute to Berlin’s vibrant rave culture - Simina’s latest project reinforces her reputation as one of techno’s most forward-thinking artists. With Hollen’s contemporary production style blending effortlessly with Simina’s signature sound, the ‘Remote Control’ EP strikes the perfect balance between innovation and tradition. It honours the raw, refined roots of techno while pushing the genre forward, delivering a bold and captivating experience that resonates on every level.

The production is tight, giving every element room to breathe, while the crisp snares and rolling hi-hats push the track forward with precision. Lost 303 strikes the perfect balance between technos raw, primal energy and a fresh, forward-thinking sound. Its a track that resonates with both die-hard fans and newcomers, showing how techno can stay true to its underground roots while pushing the genre into exciting new sonic territory. But its not just a great track for the dancefloor - it also includes a special intro tool, making it the perfect way to set the tone and kick off any set with style.

Ilija Djokovic, D.R.N.D.Y - Rave Machine - Driving Forces

Italian producer Uto Karem is one of the world’s Techno elite. He has released EP’s on labels including Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8 Records, Christian Smith’s Tronic and Dubfire’s SCI+TEC, but most of his original music has been released via his own Agile Recordings.

Uto’s releases on Agile regularly have a great reception, often hitting the Top 10 Beatport Charts, and on many an occasion, also arriving at the coveted No. 1 spot. His avid following means Uto’s vinyl releases on Agile are also popular, with stock quick to sell out in most record stores.

Announcing his debut album in 2014, the last few years of Uto’s life have been a juggling act, balancing a busy touring schedule with label management and studio time.

Deciding to write an album came after years of releasing singles, remixes and EP’s, which although always true to Uto’s sound, at times took outside influence from hype and music trends of the moment.

The album is without restraint or outside influence, a project that takes exclusively from Uto’s core and the timeless music he has always held close to his heart.

Returning back to his early inspiration of bands like New Order, Depeche Mode and Soft Cell, he rediscovered the melodic synth lines that first drew him to discover Techno.

Going back to his roots, Uto spent hours working on synth lead melodies that although intricate, were also rhythmical and infectiously memorable. This often meant spending days, weeks and sometimes even months working on a single synth sound, which he would then build the rest of the track around. 

The final output blends deep atmospherics with melodic notation, pulsating basslines and stripped back percussion.

Techno focused, the album's energy makes it suited for a club environment, but to fully understand the intelligent use of melody and texture, requires headphones and home listening.
