Danny Wabbit - Haze [Artaphine Premiere]

New school techno star Lee Ann Roberts continues to light up 2021 with another brand new single on her own NowNow Records. Her standout original is backed by remixes from MRD and D.A.V.E. The Drummer.

This year already belongs to South African-born, Amsterdam-based Lee Ann Roberts. Her new label has had high-profile support from tastemakers like Charlotte de Witte & Ken Ishii, and is already well known for its off-grid techno sounds. Roberts herself debuted only last year on Suara. She immediately hit the number 2 spot on the Beatport Hard Techno chart and followed up with more on Octopus Warehouse Series. She has played festivals like Caprices this year and is lined up for BPM as well as plenty more headline gigs.

The excellent 'Feel' is a nine-minute, hard-edged roller. The drums are flat-footed and unrelenting, the synths bring turbulence and dark vocals add dystopian unease. The edgy textures and caustic pads make for a visceral groove that is perfectly designed for shadowy warehouse spaces. An Acid Trip Mix sees the track erupt on wild acid lines that spray about the mix and cannot fail to blow up the dance floor.

Remixer MRD hails from Norway and has released plenty of EPs and an album in a short space of time. He has a ferocious sound that fuses new wave, hardcore and banging techno as evidenced here. His version is break-neck techno with trance pads lighting up the airwaves in euphoric fashion.

The second remixer is the legendary London techno titan and label boss D.A.V.E. The Drummer. He heads up Hydraulix Records and Apex Recordings and always brings the fire. His take on 'Feel' is a wall-rattling banger with oversized bass. Saw-tooth synths rip up the track while the stark, strobe-lit stabs and some buried vocals make the floor sweat.

The is another powerful package of forward-looking techno from Lee Ann Roberts.

Juri Heidemann - Hebans [Artaphine Premiere]

A firm fixture of the VOLTAGE roster and a rising name originating from Ukraine making an impact, Berlin-based DJ and producer Chontane is quickly finding his feet following a string of EPs via ARTS, Lobster Theremin and Rekids Special Projects. Already playing key clubs at the age of just 18, blurring the lines between techno, breaks and electro with his growing trademark sound, his performances across Berlin and beyond have captured the attention of many as he showcases his up-front and powerful sound. Next, he heads to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm imprint for the first time as he reveals his six-track ‘Sycamore’ EP.

Chontane - In Roots [Artaphine Premiere]

SHDW & Obscure Shape invite Invexis for his first 12” in almost 20 years as the German live act and producer returns to Mutual Rytm for his impactful EP, ‘Odyssey’.
With an ethos of merging the past with the present and future, harnessing classic techno influences and shaping them into the sounds of tomorrow, SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm imprint has become an exciting home for rising talents of note and established artists to shine a spotlight on the genre. However, the next release on the label welcomes a long-awaited return from Georg Köhler, aka Invexis. Known for releases such as ‘Kalibreur’ on Salpeter Records and ‘Chiffre’ on Planet Rhythm Records, with further releases via Compound and Kazumi, the German talent crafted and shaped his own sound within the techno landscape in the early 2000s. Returning with his first EP release in close to two decades, late December welcomes a return to Mutual Rytm, following on from the inclusion of his track ‘Elektronenwind’ on the label’s ‘Federation Of Rytm I’ release, as he delivers a selection of dynamic, melodic and driving techno offerings across ‘Odyssey’.
‘Silhouette’ opens the package with authority as spirited drums and spiralling synths take hold of a twisting and turning lead effort, with ‘Non Return To Zero’ building a spiralling groove via frantic yet measured percussion, sweeping melodies and funky stabs. ‘Red Storm’ opens the B-side with a more up-front production combining harsher metallic tones with relentless drive and crashing hats, while ‘Body Impulse’ utilises dubby stabs and eerie atmospherics to balance light and dark. The title track ‘Odyssey’ closes the vinyl offering, with a euphoric and rapturous production harnessing resonant chords, looping drum grooves and elated leads to bring things to an impressive crescendo and deliver a record that will remain in the ears of listeners for a long time.
As always with the label, digital purchasers are treated to an exclusive track as Köhler combines zig-zagging grooves, refined synths and off-kilter glitches and bleeps across digital exclusive ‘Transition’.

For the next installment in the series, we invite Delta Division: an artist with a strong track record in the techno scene as Giordano, and now moving towards a new chapter under a new moniker. With more focus in the bass and breaks realm, get ready for an excursion of no-nonsense low frequency vibrations.

Delta Division | Artaphine Series 108

Artist: Delta Division
Title: Incursion
Label: Fear Of Silence
CAT No: FOS003
Release Date: 12th December 2024

In a bold move to redefine his musical journey, Giordano, is stepping into a new dimension as Delta Division.

This transition is not just a change of name; it represents a focused commitment to exploring the intricate landscapes of IDM and bass music, allowing him to push creative boundaries further than ever. The decision to adopt the Delta Division alias was motivated by a desire to step away from the confines of his previous techno oriented sound. Giordano sought to create a platform where he could delve deeper into the melodic complexities and rhythmic intricacies that characterize IDM and bass music.

This new direction aims to provide listeners with a multi-layered musical experience, immersing them in an audio environment that is both innovative and emotionally resonant. The concept behind Delta Division reflects the notion of intersecting musical worlds—where melody meets rhythm, and bass blends with ethereal soundscapes. "Delta" signifies change and transformation, while "Division" embodies the exploration of distinct yet interconnected sonic realms.

This new artistic identity allows Giordano to navigate through various styles, merging influences while crafting a unique sound that stands apart in the electronic music scene. Delta Division's debut EP, "Incursion," is set to release on December 12th, 2024, under his new record label, Fear Of Silence. The EP features four compelling tracks: "Incursion," "Indecisions," "Identity," and "Imagination," each showcasing a captivating blend of bass-driven rhythms and detailed melodic patterns

The Division is Back.

Lining up his latest offering, label head Secus returns with his debut album titled 'Shadows in Silence,' which unveils a deep dive into his sonic evolution with a curated selection of 8 original works from the past year, plus 2 remixes. The release reflects the shifting textures and hypnotic energy that define his signature sound.

His past productions include contributions to the likes of 6AM Group's Synthetik Sounds, Detroit's Blank Code, Lindsey Herbert's EvilGroove, Vegim's TMMR, and Steve Parker's MUTED rec, to name only a few.

Valentín Corujo belongs to the main core of our label since forever, alone as Kessell and also as part of his Exium project.    Through his long spanning career he has developed an own signature in sound, combining the rude industrial approach from Birmingham roots with the soul of the american foundations. Using his machinery as a vehicle to transmit his own vision on techno.   His sonic speech is always personal and aside of trends, using distortion as a weapon, creating solid and mental tools for the most advanced club environments.   This new EP makes no difference, four cuts of raw and intricate hypnosis without compromise.   Savage Garden sums up all being said before, a busy drum workout, the necessary amount of distortion and the complexity needed for your head to be abducted.   On Hidden Echoes speed rises, the rhythm is more intense, and the repetitive synth motifs grow and mutate, piercing your cortex as the arrangement flows.   B side starts with Seeing Beyond a robust groover with an asymmetric scifi touch on top spiced with drones and atmosphere floating over the complex structure.   Missing Time closes the release again mixing rugged drums with futuristic details, using reverb to create space in the mix and sharp hi-hats to keep your feet busy on the floor while having your mind blurred with the synthetic elements.   Another immaculate step in a flawless career.   ESPAÑOL   Valentín Corujo pertenece al núcleo principal de nuestro sello desde siempre, en solitario como Kessell y también como parte de su proyecto Exium.   A lo largo de su dilatada carrera ha desarrollado un sonido propio, combinando el rudo enfoque industrial de las raíces de Birmingham con el alma de la tradición americana. Utilizando su maquinaria como vehículo para transmitir su propia visión del techno.   Su discurso sonoro es siempre personal y al margen de modas, utilizando la distorsión como arma, creando herramientas sólidas y mentales para los ambientes de club más avanzados.   Este nuevo EP no marca la diferencia, cuatro cortes de hipnosis cruda e intrincada sin concesiones.   Savage Garden resume todo lo dicho hasta ahora, un intenso trabajo percusivo, la cantidad necesaria de distorsión y la complejidad necesaria para que tu cerebro se vea abducido.   En Hidden Echoes la velocidad aumenta, el ritmo es más intenso y las líneas repetitivas de sintetizador crecen y mutan, perforando tu mente mientras fluye el arreglo.   La cara B comienza con Seeing Beyond, un groove robusto con un toque de ciencia ficción asimétrico, aderezado con drones y atmósferas que flotan sobre la compleja estructura.   Missing Time cierra el disco,  de nuevo mezclando ritmos robustos con detalles futuristas, usando la reverberación para crear espacio en la mezcla ayudados por hi-hats afilados que mantienen tus pies ocupados en la pista mientras tu mente vuela con los elementos sintéticos.   Otro paso inmaculado en una carrera impecable.

Kessell - Seeing Beyond [Artaphine Premiere]

Mary Yuzovskaya unveils the ‘The More You Know’ remix EP on her vinyl-only Monday Off imprint, releasing 6th June 2025. Featuring reworks from Spain’s ORBE, 90s US Techno legend Mike Parker, Judas Records’ JUDAΣ, and Duna founder CONCEPTUAL, the release builds on an EP that won the support of artists like Daniel Avery, re:ni, Luke Slater, GiGi FM, Kr!z, and Jako Jako. 
First up, Token and Mote-Evolver artist and Orbe Records boss ORBE remixes ‘Ittiologia’, maintaining the original’s hypnotism by amplifying its eerie soundscapes for a loopy, deep space trip. JUDAΣ, shrouded in mystery yet known for his self-released EPs on his eponymous label and releases on ARTS, then revisits ‘Micologia’, completely reworking its tripped-out sequences into short bursts of droning synth work. 
Tresor, Semantica, and Prologue’s Mike Parker also provides a version of ‘Micologia’, with the US Techno lynchpin slowing down its rhythm while its weighted synthlines bubble up between its kicks and rides. Closing out this remix package, Italy’s CONCEPTUAL reworks ‘Ittiologia’, building tension via the original’s dark and shadowy atmospheres but switching up its low-end for an electric, late-night feel. 
Mary Yuzovskaya is a storyteller. Through delicate, masterful curation and a deep knowledge of experimental, trippy Techno, she weaves together sonic journeys - with ‘The More You Know - Remixes’ making for another excellent addition to her Monday Off label.

Welcome to the frontline.

Tracklist:
1. Altai (Rene Wise Remix)
2. Altai (Rove Ranger Gothic Remix)
3. Red Code (VIL Remix)
4. Red Code (Fabian Wegmeth Remix)

Stuttgart’s David Löhlein has been involved in electronic music for a number of years and launched his Vision Ekstase event in his hometown of Stuttgart before providing the inaugural release on the newly formed label which picked up support from the likes of Ben Sims, Luke Slater, Efdemin and many more established names within the techno world. David now invites remixes from Mote-Evolver artist Rene Wise, Planet Rhythm producer VIL and Vision Ekstase residents Rove Ranger and Fabian Wegmeth.
Rene Wise’s remix of ‘Altai’ is a rolling techno shaker featuring revolving percussion, shimmering bass grooves and the hypnotic vocal from the original floating above before Rove Ranger’s Gothic remix deploys sharp hitting drums, fierce modulated tones and haunting leads underneath.
On the flip, VIL’s ‘Red Code’ remix makes way for vibrant, clap-heavy rhythms, driving modulations and resounding frequencies keeping the energy flowing while Fabian Wegmeth’s remix rounds things off with industrial sounding sonics peppered with machine-like synth whirls, menacing oscillations and shrieking soundscapes throughout.

We continue to bring you talented underground artists mixed with more established names in the scene. It’s only recently that VINYA had joined us for our big various artist album in January 2020 and together with Tham and Rezystor he will make sure you stack up on your daily dose of churning techno shade.

First track’s characteristics are something we see more often from VINYA; phat crunchy saw waves and voices in the left and right field to set you in a hostile trance. The almost serene rest in Flui is insidious, as you know it will come back to hit you again. A new born classic synth rhythm with overdriven waves done the right way in Caun, pushing you to the absolute limit. Enter the freight train with Tham for more hypnotizing and abstractness while Rezystor perfectly assembles Caun up to power 2 – hard to pick a favorite as they are both very effective.

Visions 01 | Cleric [CRG020]
Label: Clergy
Release date: 10/04/2020

To celebrate hitting their 20th release, Cleric’s imprint pulls together 23 talents for an essential various artist compilation including tracks from the likes of Rebekah, Cleric, Stef Mendesidis, Remco Beekwilder & Stranger, Endlec, Kwartz, Setaoc Mass, Roman Poncet, Slam and many more.

Clergy has become synonymous with a balance of atmospheric and hard hitting brand of techno ever since 2014. The boss's own music has been key to that, with carefully curated releases from guests such as Dax J, Kwartz, Reflec and Cleric himself. Helping to make the label an underground favourite. ‘Clergy Visions 01’ sees Cleric invite an array on techno heavyweights to contribute to this compilation that’s mixed by the label boss himself.
Things open up with the bleak ambience and fizzing electric cables of Jokasti & Nek's 'Grained' then Sept's 'Artifical' lays down a tunnelling techno groove that immediately locks you in. The mysterious alias, Reizemann heads off to a cosmic realm with its deep space pads slowly building the momentum throughout the drums. The energy levels then stay high throughout tracks from Roman Poncet, Kwartz and Setaoc Mass, then leading onto the groove of Stef Mendesidis.
Testament to Cleric's skills as a DJ and sequencer is the fact this journey is constantly evolving while remaining coherent. A mid- section featuring the likes of Endlec, Sleeparchive and EAS keeps you on your toes with perfectly stripped back but hard dynamic drum programming and intense melody work. Remco Beekwilder & Stranger bring a more hard hitting and industrial style before Slam calm the fires once more allowing you to sink into a smooth, elongated roller. It's left to the dystopian darkness of Rebekah and atmospheric techno brilliance of Lerias to close out this most adventurous mix in real style.

Aurora Centralis – The Remixes (Schacke, Tin Man, nthng and Primal Code) [AQR015]
Aquaregia Records
Release date: 15th May 2020

Tracklist:
1. Aurora Centralis (Schacke Remix)
2. Aurora Centralis (Tin Man’s Spaced Remix)
3. Aurora Centralis (nthng’s Saiyan Saga)
4. Aurora Centralis (Primal Code Remix)
5. Aurora Centralis (Tin Man’s Detroit Remix) (Digital Bonus)
6. Aurora Centralis (nthng’s Saiyan Dream) (Digital Bonus)

747 is an Aquaregia mainstay who is now the focus of a fantastic remix package featuring Schacke, Tin Man, nthng and Primal Code.
Three years after the original’s release, new life is given to 747’s widely acclaimed acid anthem, Aurora Centralis. The uplifting track, characterized by its iconic singing 303, captivated a wide audience of music lovers of all ages and backgrounds while receiving heavy play from the likes of Aurora Halal, Dr. Rubinstein, Charlotte De Witte, I Hate Models and Bicep. It now is revisited by four masterful artists: Schacke, Tin Man, nthng and Primal Code, each bringing a unique take. Opening the release, Schacke, a leader of Copenhagen’s fast techno-trance movement and rising techno star, delivers a fast and euphoric revamp. His ‘Kisloty People’ and ‘Trained To The Floor’ were some of 2019's biggest tunes and he now follows with his remix of 'Aurora Centralis' - a high energy, high tempo infectious groove amongst floating eerie synths. Tin Man is a master of acid undulations who has put out countless LPs and EPs on Acid Test and Global A Records. Here he serves up a perfectly soft and tender acid lullaby with zoned out pads glowing up top like distant stars. After cult classics on Lobster Theremin, Delsin and more, nthng’s dreamy, soulful sound is much loved and he provides his first ever remix here. Over 10 minutes he takes you on a cosmic ambient techno voyage to the edges of the galaxy on surging groves that leave you entranced.
For the final track, Primal Code have taken their dreamy sound, lush acid melodies and delicate drums to the likes of Hypnus, The Gods Planet and Semantica. It's a style that fits perfectly for this label and their remix is a warm, bubbly and deep techno classic with fuzzy acid and slick drum loops that lock you in the zone. Tin Man’s ‘Detroit Remix’ and nthng’s ‘Saiyan Dream’ are two superb digital bonus tracks to round things out.

VII Circle - Fearless EP(incl. Crystal Geometry, Buried Secrets Remixes)
Destroy To Rebuild 
26th June 2020 DTR001
Vinyl & Digital

VII Circle launches his Destroy To Rebuild imprint with a ferocious techno release entitled ‘Fearless EP’, featuring Crystal Geometry and Buried Secrets remixes.
With a background in Post Punk and Metal, VII Circle draws on a range of influences from outside the techno norm and his releases on the likes of HEX Recordings and on his co-founded Rapid Eye Movement imprint exhibit his dark and tough approach to four-four. Following on from his Boiler Room debut for the HARD DANCE series, VII Circle now turns his attention towards crafting a new label entitled Destroy To Rebuild that will focus on techno, industrial, EBM and uncompromising soundscapes.
‘Fearless’ sets an intense scene with rigorous and killer drum programming alongside stereo-spaced synths, giving rise to an immense aural trip. ‘Revolt’ then echoes the atmosphere from the opening track while bringing an electric tension into the mix with layered-in zappy rave-esque chords and ruthless percussion, the breakdown will set on fire the dancefloors out there.
Next, French artist and Sonic Groove producer, Crystal Geometry, reimagines ‘Fearless’ by bedding in aggressive vocals, shuddering synth lines and searing stabs. Finally, Monnom Black and Green Fetish Records imprint artist, Buried Secrets, sends ‘Revolt’ into otherworldly territories with pulsing keys, saturated sub-frequencies and racing hi-hats.

VII Circle ‘Fearless EP’ drops on Destroy To Rebuild on 26th June 2020.

Tracklist:
1. Fearless (Original Mix)
2. Revolt (Original Mix)
3. Fearless (Crystal Geometry Remix)

Keith Carnal - Second Degree [SEC004]
Label: SEC ND
Release date: 27th November 2020
Vinyl + Digital

Amsterdam's techno talent Keith Carnal returns to his own Second Degree with a fresh four tracker.

Keith Carnal's techno has a signature sound that draws on rich melodies and locked-in groove - it is made for dancing but comes with an ominous feeling of melancholy that makes a lasting impact. He also layers in percussion that immerses his audience ever deep and as well as DJing around the globe has also released on Affin LTD, Arts and his very own Second Degree imprint.

He kicks off his latest powerful missive with the driving, rock solid kicks of 'Hope', a dark and alluring track where the heavenly synths bring the only light to the groove. 'Endless' is a peak-time cut that will have you riding on the edge of your seat thanks to its high speed arps and icy hi hats, all racing along over more firmly rooted kick drums.

Carnal's cultured studio craftsmanship is laid bare once more on the pounding, stripped back yet compelling 'Daily Route' which is linear techno with a soulful synth sound that takes you well into the future on a mysterious vibe. Closer 'Sadly Mistaken' has taught, pining kick drums and spooky howling synth sounds that are brilliantly unsettling as you march onwards.

Keith Carnal ‘SEC004’ drops on Second Degree in 27th November 2020.

Tracklist:
1. Hope
2. Endless
3. Daily Route
4. Sadly Mistaken

Keith Carnal - Endless [Artaphine Premiere]

“The Unfinished Fight Against Humanity” is SNTS' third full-length album following "The Rustling Of The Leaves" in 2015 and "Losing Sight" in 2016.

Ten tracks that are born from the combination of historical, mystical and current references, which lead to a reflection of how the human being can complicate its existence due to behaviour and the consequences that derive from such actions.

The dark, hard and energetic rhythms of the album narrate the coexistence of diverse human values throughout history, from peace to war, from love to hate, from empathy to ego.

In words of the artist SNTS, “the human being has been created to live in society, the problem arises when society fails to coexist or compete to survive”.
