Marcal is back for round two on Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records with “Cyber Dystopia.” Marcal’s trademark grooves and clever vocal processing make this one of his most exciting and hypnotic records yet. It’s pure class…there isn’t much else to say!

BUT we have to try anyway…
“Cyber Dystopia” starts off with Bionic Jungle, a trippy peak time roller sprinkled with uh, lifeforms or something? We haven’t been able to identify them, which is just proof that Marcal is living on another planet we haven’t been to yet. We’re standing by for the invite.

Moravex’s Paradox picks up where Bionic Jungle left off…chugging along in his signature style. It’s loopy. It’s tooly…but still heavy on the grooves, making it a perfect fit in deep and peak time sets alike.

Nothing About the United States hits a little harder and darker. Dissonant drones and catchy sound design take over, flipping the switch from “party” to “punish.” For fans of his recent track on Enemy, “Never Wrote This.”

Don’t Fear the Three is a classic Marcal percussive workout in heads-down mode. It’s as equally powerful as every other track on the record.

“Cyber Dystopia” is all about the world we are living in right now: artificial intelligence, smart houses, smartphones, self-driving cars, deepfakes, fake news, cybernetic warfare, metaverse, social networks, the internet of things, machine learning, virtual reality...
We are definitely entering a new stage of civilization, the post-modern era.
But,
Are we living an 'apocalypse of self-abdication' already? Or we are, as humans, simply evolving as technology evolves? There will ever be a limit to technology? Will it help as much it can also destruct?

We will find out soon.

Racconto

After the climate and political catastrophe that Valencia has endured, with a severe storm affecting over 800,000 people, the community has come together to lift the future of Valencia out of the mud. From day one, Gordo Trax has sought to help by bringing together producers of all kinds in a series of charity V.A. releases aimed at supporting local neighbourhood associations, animal welfare organisations, associations for people with special needs, and providing essential goods. "Germanor" is the Valencian word for "brotherhood," and in this second release, we unite international artists like Blawan & Wallis, Oscar Mulero, Lewis Fautzi, Nørbak, Peder Mannerfelt, Cora Novoa, and many others who have selflessly pitched in during such a difficult time for the city.

This release showcases not just his technical expertise, but also his ability to push boundaries and explore new depths of sound. His new releases captivate listeners with their thoughtful complexity, detailed sound design, and a refined sense of style that reflects both his artistic maturity and forward-thinking approach.

We’re honoured to welcome him back with such outstanding music and can’t wait to share this release with you soon. His return marks an exciting chapter for the label, and we’re eager for you to experience the artistry and innovation he brings.

Sublunar is proud to present the next release from its label head Sciahri and Hertz Collision.
Following the success of their collaboration on Clergy, the two Italian artists return with Axis Mundi, a sophisticated techno EP rich in texture and nuance. The journey begins with the title track Axis Mundi, an electrifying opener with razor-sharp sounds and driving rhythms, setting the pace for the EP. Next comes Drifting, where hypnotic grooves and floating synth lines take the listener on a captivating sonic voyage.

On the B-side, Entropia shifts gears with a mind-bending synth that propels the track into another dimension, while Silent Pulse closes the vinyl edition with its minimalist yet refined touch, perfect for any moment of the night.

Exclusive to the digital version, Inertia is a floor-shaking missile that will kill the dancefloor.

Title: Akashic Records Various Artist 004 - Techno Soldiers
Track: Mobility
Catalogue Number: ARVA004
Format: Digital 
Release Date: December 23, 2024

Get ready for a raw, unfiltered journey into the essence of early 2000s hard techno. Techno Soldiers brings together some of the most respected names in the underground: Arnaud Le Texier, DJ Ogi, MarAxe, Primal, The Minimalist, The Sixth Sense, USER FRNDLY, and Wetworks. These artists need no introduction—they embody the uncompromising spirit of techno at its core.

This compilation channels the relentless energy of the Schranz era, delivering pounding, no-holds-barred tracks that take aim at the shallow trends of today’s so-called “hard techno.” Techno Soldiers is a declaration of authenticity, a reminder of what hard techno truly means: raw, aggressive, and unapologetically underground.

For the purists, the ravers, and anyone who still believes in techno’s primal force—this one’s for you.

That Thing (Linear System Remix)

Premiere of "Reflections" by Rea K & WM, taken from "Song of Spirits" EP, forthcoming on Diffuse Reality Records

Pre - Order: 
https://diffusereality.bandcamp.com/

Label: Diffuse Reality Records
Artist: Rea K & WM
Title: Song of Spirits EP
Track: Reflections
Catalogue Number: DRSS1233
Format: Digital 
Release Date: October 27, 2025

"Song of Spirits is a sonic ritual in seven acts,
a journey of inner transformation where raw techno, psychedelic textures, organic fragments, and experimental soundscapes converge. Each track becomes a threshold, opening onto shifting landscapes where rhythm is both pulse and trance, body and spirit.

This album is not designed for linear listening but as an immersive map of metamorphosis: from chaos to silence, from darkness to light, from the material to the invisible. Sound here is not just vibration but invocation — a voice that awakens hidden layers of perception.

Created by Rea k and WM, Song of Spirits invites the listener to abandon control and enter a state of resonance, where imagination expands and the spirit sings through noise, rhythm, and silence. It is not music to be consumed, but a passage to be crossed. "
