On the 21th of April, welcome new artist and producer from Spain Humberto PLaza to deliver his release "Core Space" to IAMT Red! 

"Acid bassline and percussive drums, embellished with raw and gritty synth chords that bring a solid swing to the track and build up to the break.
the tracks were created in ableton live. They are forceful songs focused on current cutting-edge techno, with touches of the old school plus acid and club.
It is mainly used, Serum and my favorite keyboard an oxygen 49"

Enjoy!

We take immense pride in upholding the integrity of our label's name, and we're excited to announce a remix by Gregor Tresher for Mike Skinners legendary "The Streets”, which does just that. Gregor's admiration for The Streets' seminal 2002 album, "Original Pirate Material,” has fuelled his unwavering support for Mike Skinner's extraordinary musical journey.

Last year, when The Streets’ poignant EP "Brexit at Tiffany's" made its debut, Gregor crafted a remix of one of its tracks for his DJ sets. This rework quickly became a closely-guarded secret weapon, setting dance floors ablaze wherever he played it. The idea of reaching out to The Streets arose, driven by curiosity about Mike's reaction to the remix. To our delight, not only did he appreciate it, but he also granted us permission to officially release it on the label.

So without delay, we are delighted to unveil Gregor Tresher's monumental reimagining of The Streets' "3 Minutes To Midnight." This once anonymous gem has now emerged from the shadows, and we are absolutely thrilled to bring it to your eager ears.

noun
noun: frisson; plural noun: frissons

'A sudden strong feeling of aesthetic chills or psychogenic shivers, is a psychophysiological response to rewarding stimuli (including music, films, stories, people, photos, and rituals) that often induces a pleasurable or otherwise positively-valenced affective state and transient paresthesia (skin tingling or chills), sometimes along with piloerection (goose bumps) and mydriasis (pupil dilation). The sensation commonly occurs as a mildly to moderately pleasurable emotional response to music with skin tingling."

We hope this track gives you goosebumps.

Hymn (ANNA Remix)

Next up on VOLTA are Balthazar & JackRock - a duo who perfectly capture the label's core those as they deliver music that's as powerful as it is poignant. Heavy-duty club tracks imbued with passion and flair. 'Ethereal Drive' kicks off with a truly standout club track that melds disparate shades of sound and through adroit production, forms something that's equal parts dynamic and haunting. A pure, crystalline vocal decorates a barbed bass line that consistently rubs shoulders with a fierce, heavy kick. A bit-crushed organ drops in some murky blobs of sound adding to an otherworldly atmosphere before 'Space Crush' closes up with a big-room behemoth. A wall of industrial-grade sonics power forwards, one kick at a time before a synth line bleeds in, catching the listener off guard. Another unique contrast develops as rich, heartstring chords pull away from the stormy low-end and bloom into a warm embrace of a breakdown. Energy quickly builds, hammering back to earth with force, capping off another stellar addition to the VOLTA catalogue.

Next up on Lisbon's VOLTA is an accomplished 2-tracker from Sisyphos regular Mattia Saviolo.

'Nirvana' kicks things off with some immaculately produced euphoria. Clean, powerful drums and a boxing sub bass lay a broad-shouldered foundation that'll stretch even the most potent of sound systems. What unfurls over this sturdy substructure is a battery of mangled frequencies and warm, luscious synthesis that accumulates energy as it surges toward a spine-tingling breakdown. The track is completely dissolved into a chasmic pool before it charges back up toward a drop that will soundtrack countless standout moments across festival and warehouse dancefloors over summer.

'Together' follows up with another burly set up bones as a dense kick drills through a slew of metallic signals. Savilio then pours more heartstring tones over top as an arresting energy develops toward another wide open breakdown. Fractal vocals rebound off a blossoming arp and together they gather energy towards a striking drop guaranteed to wake up the floor; raw, hard-hitting drums adorned with rich, emotive melodies - truly VOLTA's signature sound in evidence.

Internationally celebrated techno artist Victor Ruiz has enjoyed considerable success over recent years with his undeniably authentic strain of underground electronic music. A staunch contributor to the progression of the genre, Victor’s deft ear is guided by a sheer passion for evolution and artistic expression, making him one of the most dynamic contemporary talents on the circuit. Following a string of globally acclaimed releases in 2024, the Brazilian artist now unveils his most audacious body of work to date, delving into the archives of his un-released catalog – old and new – to form his latest medley of tracks, ‘This Is Not An Album’. Landing on Ruiz’s own imprint VOLTA, which now stands as techno’s fourth best-selling record label just two years after its inception.

In an era where music is often consumed with fleeting value, Ruiz challenges this notion head-on. His 8-track collection stands as a powerful statement against the conventional norms of the industry and serves as a bold, rebellious manifesto. 'This Is Not An Album' is not just a release; it is an artistic and conceptual project, deeply rooted in years of meticulous creation. The tracks – some dating back several years – have been carefully curated to form a sundried, yet cohesive body of work that defies both trends and traditional album formats, evoking a totally new listening experience for its audience.

Unlike conventional album arrangements, ‘This Is Not An Album’ represents Victor’s keen enthusiasm towards a plethora of genres, promising a slice of ear candy for each and every listener. Hosting sensibilities across the techno spectrum – from melodic, emotive and groovy, to the deep, dark and hypnotic depths of the genre – the mosaic of cuts aims to provoke a reaction from its audience that goes far beyond that of a commercialist music release. 
 
The release date for this collection - August 8, 2024 - also holds significance to its narrative; another intriguing facet to this conceptually-driven, artistic opus. Featuring 8 tracks, released on the 8th, and with the sum of 2024 amounting to 8, Victor sought to imbue his music with a sense of intentionality and depth, offering his listeners a meaningful and memorable experience tied to the alignment of numbers.
 
"This release is my way of pushing back against the transient nature of today’s music industry," says Ruiz. "I wanted to create something that would stand the test of time, that people could connect with on a deeper level. 'This Is Not An Album' is my revolt to a scene that often prioritizes quick hits over lasting impact.” He continues, “People may think that this has been a very elaborate project but it’s not. I just felt like releasing 8 tracks out of the blue and funnily enough the date aligned perfectly. I hope you enjoy.”
 
Victor Ruiz, known for his profound and immersive techno soundscapes, has crafted this collection to transcend the boundaries of commercialism and return to the liberative roots of dance music. 'This Is Not An Album' is not aimed at mainstream success; rather, it is a passionate expression of Ruiz’s artistic vision. Each track is a testament to his dedication to creating music that is enduring, evocative and deeply personal.
 
Fans and newcomers alike can expect a sonic journey that is thought-provoking, exhilarating and perhaps, at times, confusing. 'This Is Not An Album' encapsulates the essence of Victor Ruiz’s innovative spirit, producing with pure intent and unbridled creativity to deliver a listening experience that is as profound as it is joyously rebellious.
