It started with Chicago. Then, Manchester.

For nearly three decades, Laurent Garnier has urged himself to create on the cutting edge of dance music. Beyond the turntables and studio, Garnier moves between genres and performance techniques with the aim of continuously challenging himself. Pick any moment from his musical journey, and it's easy to see this creative momentum: there was the Hacienda in the late '80s, his time spent in America exploring house, the techno of his label F Communications and his entry into the realm of jazz. "I never want to be an old artist playing my old tracks just to please the older crowd," he says. "I don't think that's healthy." (RA)

Laurent Garnier is now an undeniable force that is making the planet dance.
Last summer (2013) Laurent Garnier met with Jerome Derradji over dinner before his long awaited return at the decks in Chicago for SmartBar. Longtime friends, Laurent and Jerome talked about the possibility of releasing some of his new productions under the name Garnier. A new venture for the veteran Dj and producer, that will see him release a series of 12”s for labels such as 50 Weapons and more....

“AF 0490” is the first release in the series and showcases Garnier at his best.
Three tracks that pay their respect to the heroes of Trax, Dancemania and to the Chicago sound they helped create without any misplaced nostalgia.
“Bang (The Underground Doesn’t Stop)” is a dancefloor anthem, magnificent and pure Chicago circa 1998. “Boom (Chakolak)” takes you way back to the Southside with its gritty “footwork” 909 kicks, snares and vocal loops, massive! “Beat (Da BoxX) is a pure Garnier, Dancemania inspired techno monster. The loop is finally complete, Garnier can now hop on flight AF 0490 direct from Paris to Chicago to Bang The Box once more.

Tell your friends, 2014 looks like it’s going to be the year of the Garnier.

We welcome UK’s rising star Jordan Peak on board for his first fully fledged techno release. Jordan has been making waves ever since his entrance on the international circuit in 2011 and with releases on Bass Culture and Robsoul a.o. his future is looking bright. Last year he started his own imprint Rogue Society, a label focused on music on the borders of house and techno.

Jordan’s first steps into purist techno territory appear more like giant leaps. All four tracks sound like he is been making techno tunes for years, an extraordinary display of his talent. Black Paint kicks of a funk fuelled groove accompanied by modern day dub stabs and fx programming. Follow up Crocodile Tears brings memories of early Slam/Soma records to mind, updated to 2014. 

On the flipside you’ll find 2 dark, hypnotic groovers. Relentless in their pace, both with catchy melody lines that’ll stick in your brain for weeks to come. Another fantastic BALANS debut.

There is no rest for the wicked techno releasing machine that is !Organism as here they serve up a 68th EP. Produced by Spain’s Maae it comes with a remix from Tomy DeClerque. 

Maae has been in the techno game for 15 years now and has been resident at clubs such as Blau Club and Zoom Club in his native Barcelona. It was only in 2012 that he assumed his most recent moniker though and since then he has excelled on his own label Metodiq. 

Up first is ‘Mental Soldier’, a synthetic and subliminal jam with buried deep synths and hiccuping drums that really suck you into its future forms. Next is the rolling techno of the title track ‘Slave to the Rhythm’, which is embellished with some human voices and slap-funk precision that helps to really stand it out from the crowd. 

The remix from Tomy DeClerque - a Slovenian techno talent who has won many awards and has released regularly on Carl Cox’s Intec label - is a more barreling and streamlined affair with rattling toms, groaning and ominous synth lines and a rising sense of tension. Lastly, 

‘The Mistake’ is a slick and lithe affair with dancing drums, huge apocalyptic chords that will sweep over whole warehouses and a stern sense of groove. 

Once more here !Organism serve up the searing techno goods from a talented roster of talent from around the world.

Mastiv makes his Agile debut by demonstrating his effortless style and impeccable skills in all three of the cuts.&nbsp; The title track is up first and sets the tone perfectly with a sleazy bassline, commanding stabs and soaring synths.&nbsp; &#8220;Dr. Dachno&#8221; picks up in the same vein, led by the driving bass, while electronics are graciously sprinkled on top of the crystal-clear production.&nbsp; Closing up with &#8220;Schmutz&#8221;, we are introduced to a discordant vibe as warped synthesis takes center stage and otherworldly effects propel the affair to the next level.

Mastiv - Elastisch (Original Mix)

Lewis returns to Agile, and the title track of the EP clearly shows his tendencies with haunting melodies taking center stage and the rhythm section effortlessly grinding away.&nbsp; The subliminal vibe continues on &#8220;Analyze&#8221;, yet the momentum is kicked up a notch for maximum effect while mangled vocal snippets are interlocked with the drums, and spacious effects lace the whole affair with class.

Devid and Luca team up for two juicy tracks, and &#8220;Elephant&#8221; is up first with its sticky bassline and grinding rhythm section.&nbsp; The focus shifts to the haunting stabs and the affair is completed by otherworldly effects working away subliminally.&nbsp; 
&#8220;Memory&#8221; takes a slightly different route as manic chords provide the momentum, and the bubbling bass intertwines with the looped-out vocal snippets in the background.

Echo Vacio make their debut appearance on Rhythm Convert(ed), holding down their signature rolling style.

Kicking off with "Blurred Vision", we are welcomed to shadowy atmosphere and loopy synths which give way to skipping beats, while a spoken word sample slips in and out of the cracks.

Tom Hades kicks things up a notch with a pounding kick and an industrial vibe running throughout his interpretation, which hits hard from all angles.

Closing the EP, "Quandry" offers a more optimistic approach with subtle chords over bouncy percussion, while clever effects and a frantic snare provide the driving force.

Having thawed the winters chill with his Elements EP earlier this year, SCI+TEC regular Alex Mine returns to warm our bones with his Time Lapse EP, and fresh from being selected as one of the key artists to feature on the label’s 10 Years of SCI+TEC compilation, with his ’Name Of What’ track, the Italian promptly delivers a fresh and weighty new four track selection. 

The title track leads the EP with its huge kick, echoing vocal spikes and synth chords to create a tense but electrifying atmosphere. ‘Egoes’ follows, pushing the tempo with its tight groove and frenzied acid line to create a powerful dancefloor moment. 

From that piercing peak to the dreamy depths of ‘Forth Dimension’ and its delicate, inviting bassline and simple melody. A soothing slice and one that readies us for the rugged tribal stomp of the brilliant and elegantly twisted closer, ‘Krantor’.

Three years after releasing their debut EP on Tronic, Tronica, German duo 2pole are releasing part one of their highly anticipated debut double LP, 1ne, via Christian Smith's famed label.

Aptly entitled 1ne, 2pole's debut artist album features 16 hard-hitting tracks, soaked in the duo's trademark high-impact, richly crafted sound.

Created for the dancefloor, the record is a palette of dance music sounds, ranging from techno-meets-rave-style-trance anthem 'Red Point', melodic extravaganza 'Dimension' and peak time banger 'Run', which has been a part of Adam Beyer's sets since last summer. 1ne also sees 2pole collaborate with Christian Smith, Philadelphia's spoken word artist Ursula Rucker, Jam & Spoon's Jam El Mar and Hamburg-based modular devotee Colectivo Triangular.

'Christian Smith was the first person we got in contact with when 2pole was born two and a half years ago,' 2pole say. 'He told us that he's a big fan of our music and he'd love to release it on his label Tronic. He visited us two times at our studio and we produced some tracks together for his album, which was released a year ago, and for our album. He really liked our double LP and we are really happy to get Christian and his label Tronic as a partner for this work.'

1ne will be released on June 24th, 2019. It will be followed up by the second part of the double LP, 2wo, which focuses on the duo's more obscure, ambient and experimental pursuits.
