2019.1

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.


Birth

2015 saw Stephan Bodzin release his second full length, “Powers of Ten”, as well as a new single on DJ Tennis’ and Tale of Us’ taste making label Life and Death. The album is another magical piece of work that focuses on melody and rhythm, on fat bass and vivid sound design and is a truly captivating journey through the mind, music, body and soul of one of dance music’s truly modern greats. After its release, a great team of modern music makers was enlisted to remix tracks from it: Maceo Plex & Shall Ochin, Fur Coat, Extrawelt, long time musical sparring partner Marc Romboy, Pan-Pot, Max Cooper, Agents of Time, Dominik Eulberg and many more all contributed to what is an essential collection. With a remix of ‘Sleepless’, a Pan-Pot track from their latest album, Stephan Bodzin closed the latest chapter of 2015 in what has been an exhilarating musical journey in his capable and creative hands.

Twisted grooves from Romania's finest.

Herck sculpts a psychedelic journey filled with addictive loops and short melodies.

Elements are left almost unfinished, sitting low and unassertive in the mix, allowing each component of the track to work as one, steadily revealing one another as the track evolves.

A simple bassline anchors the track, immersed in...

London-based Japanese producer @ittetsu-music is joining our free download series providing the first track of 2019.

Characterized by a weird but mesmerizing non-stopping vocal, together with an intriguing bassline, the track shows a great effort from Ittetsu in combining together more styles and sound layers. The result is a complex yet beautiful and joyous track, perfect to be dropped during peak-time set or a particularly messy afterparty.

Enjoy it and play it loud!

A strong current pulls you through the pressurized environment of the deep sea. Your synapses start firing at the rhythm of a bubbling synthesizer melody that keeps snaking around you. Bizarrely shaped flashes of light reach out for your eyes from the endlessness of the darkness, as if they were alien fireflies from a strange planet. Is this a dream or is it reality? As well as. It’s a compelling undertow that takes you to Atlantis - to the world of sound created by FiveP. Technoish, dark, driving and delirious in a melodic way: These are the main atmospheric qualities of this EP. Of course they are also valid for the additional remixes by Mollono.Bass and Green Lake Project.

Gero Jansen is a German artist making his return to Intec following previously featured as a remix artist on Harvey McKays release on the label in 2018. Now back with a solo two track EP of dark and thumping techno, he has also featured on other imprints such as BluFin and Cristian Varelas Pornographic Recordings.

Having made music since the young age of seven years old, he has graduated from playing instruments in bands, to composing techno tracks in a dark and pounding style that he has made his trademark. Having been into electronic music since the '90s, Gero Jansen has already proven himself as a DJ in his home city of Karlsruhe and its surrounding areas.

This release is testament to Carl and Jon's devotion of discovering and championing fresh talent, many of whom in years to come will no doubt become future stars themselves.

The title cut Changing opens the EP and uses a vocal sample hook of a phoenix changing. Its stabbing chords combined with a rumbling bassline and tense strings give it a ferocious sound hammered home by the hard hitting kick drum.

Track two Hypnotic and as its name suggests the groove is hypnotising with a flickering lead sound and fast flowing percussive rhythms. Dark atmospherics add to the building intensity as the tracks momentum builds with an energy perfect for peak time plays.
