The second instalment of Eric Sneo&#8217;s Re-Transmit series has landed and Boris gets his hands on &#8220;Slave To The Beat&#8221;, where he mangles the trademarked vocal even more. Cavernous effects bring us up to date, the shuffling rhythm section grinds away and some of the industrial overtones of the past are kept alive. On the 2014 edit, we get the vocals in full force, while much of the menace of the original is kept intact as the sub-bass gallops under the hats and rides. 
 Sasha Carassi&#8217;s version of &#8220;Dance La Famila&#8221; steamrolls through the night with its tough groove and mechanized percussion, letting dark stabs and a bubbling bassline all come together for a streamlined, nocturnal journey.

We're happy to welcome one of the biggest rising stars of Holland on board the Manual family; Ruttenbergs! With previous releases under his belt on labels such as Traum and Parquet this new name was hard to miss recently and with 'The Fat Duck' Ruttenbergs takes the next step on the ladder to fame.

The Fat Duck is a warm roaring piece of techno music, timeless in sound but with modern day production trickery. Drop this effective piece of work in your set and success is guaranteed!

On remix duties we are proud to welcome German techno don Florian Meindl on board. Never heard of the man? Time to crawl from under your rock then! This German maestro has been on top of the game for many many years and delivers once again with a straight forward, stomping techno monster of a remix!

Jel Ford kicks off his return EP with two tracks of clean big room techno. The title track ‘Backyard’ is a moody affair with a low drone throughout that is complimented with layered synth stabs. Using reverb to create atmosphere within the track it subtly breaks down before a vocal hook transcends the track to deliver a killer blow. ‘Meeting of Minds’ is dubbier and uses a tripped out synth to add rhythm whilst working alongside a synth pattern to keep the track chugging along. The slow evolving pads add texture and keep the track nicely filled out whilst this timeless classic keeps on giving.

Alex Mine and Alex Costa team up for four slices of intricate and claustrophobic Techno, starting out with &#8220;Grolup&#8221;, where the steamrolling section supports subliminal-sounding leads and rolling percussion. On the rocksteady &#8220;Get Back&#8221;, rubbed-band bass leads the way while hypnotic effects intertwine with pitched-down vocals and sonar-esque synths. &#8220;Yankast&#8221; picks up from there with persistent bleeps and a stomping rhythm section, which takes us straight to &#8220;Order&#8221;, where the boys dub things out a bit, bringing mutated chords and rattling electronics to the table. out loud!

Maelstrom's next release via Zone is set to drop soon and we have the premiere of the lead cut.

'Adversarial Design' isn't a track that you'd show your mum unless she's into violent, stabbing and demonic techno music.

Once again the track shows off Maelstrom's fine production skills and promotes a sound so dark that it's only suitable for the bleakest of raves. 

Premiere: Maelstrom 'Adversarial Design'

Figure arrives at its 60th release with label mainstay Markus Suckut. The young German producer's sound easily represents some of the most focused, intense and immediate techno around, and he continues his fine run of form with three unique tracks on Figure 60.

Over nine minutes 'Abandonedt' graces the A side in a snaking, intense industrial journey perfectly set up for moments of high drama. A throbbing, acidic bassline winds itself around the central axis of the track, with washes of rave-inspired pads adding extra momentum.

A more reduced affair, 'Corp' is classic Suckut territory. Giving the DJ room to work, while providing an incredibly solid backbone of mysterious psycho-funk, Markus takes us deep into his dark, loop world of submerged sub-sonics and rattling percussion.

The slower paced, dubby vibes of 'March' complete the EP as an addictive filtered vocal sample emerges amongst sharply snapping snares and fluffy hats. Bringing out the magic in the groove with only a few elements, its yet another masterclass in modern minimalism.

What better way to mark the 20th anniversary of Tronic, his forward-thinking label, than creating a new artist album? Christian Smith stands out as one of the worlds leading exponents of inventive, diverse techno and Stranger Than Paradise continues his enthralling, ever-evolving musical journey with aplomb. The fact that Tronic is one of the Top 5 selling techno labels in the world is a mark of a man who stands for nothing less than pure quality. 
Having previously released benchmark, critically acclaimed LPs Omakase (2013) and Directors Cut (2010) Christian Smith is no stranger to creating supreme, danceoor orientated albums, that explore and showcase his diverse musical style. Both as a DJ and producer, he is always innovative and bold, a leader not a follower. 
Alongside the jaw-dropping excellence of the solo tracks, this new album also features dynamic, inventive collaborations with Wehbba (Christians great friend and regular collaborator), the New York based house music legend Cevin Fisher, long-time studio collaborator John Selway (of Smith &amp; Selway fame), and Christians childhood friend and hip-hop artist Arcturus Ra. 
The Stranger Than Paradise album project will be unveiled rst as four singles released at weekly intervals through the month of October, with the full album release following in the rst week of November on 12 vinyl and digital formats. An album remix pack will be released in December.

Alan Fitzpatrick is back with a three-track EP that encapsulates what Alan’s Drumcode sound is all about. Hard-hitting drums that fire down onto the dance floor like cannon balls. Check! Intense key patterns that are as twisted as they are uplifting. Check! Beautiful melodies that seamlessly interlock with each element. Check! Big-sounding, infectious grooves and killer hooks generously sprinkled with the infamous Fitzpatrick magic over the top. CHECK! In short, this EP is everything we have come to expect from Alan over his long history with Drumcode (this is his 10th EP as a solo artist!), but still his sound remains fresh and super-charged for 2014.

On 'Conductor', Pan-Pot join forces with Slam to create a techno behemoth like no-other. You can expect trippy and escalating beats that come backed by some absolutely furious kicks. 

For 'Fiction Inc', their collaboration with Vincenzo, the pressure is relieved slightly for a cut that's more hypnotic than traumatising. Enjoy.
