After a brief hiatus, Knowledge Imprint is back with it’s eleventh release. With a refreshed visual identity but the same musical vision, the label starts the journey of its next set of releases with label-owner Deano’s Monomaker EP. Joining this release is renowned Dutch artist Tripeo with his remix of the title track. 

‘Monomaker’ sets the tone of the A-side with its stripped-back, trippy qualities. Employing subtle shifts in percussion and synth patterns, it’s delicateness is countered by a strong low-end making it the ideal functional track for any part of a set. Tripeo’s remix however flips things around. Whilst some elements from the original are still clearly defined, he opts for a far more spontaneous approach to the arrangement and sound design. With tweaked out synth sequences, pads and upfront drum patterns, his rendition recalls the style of some early Detroit techno without loosing the essence of the original. 

The B-side of the EP turns things up a notch. ‘Nullsymbol’ keeps a relentless drive that makes it perfect for the peak time. With strong, rhythmic drums and key moments of tension and release, it preempts the final track of the B-side. ‘Twentysix’ closes out the package with a loopy excursion also grounded in rhythmic drums and trippy synth patterns. As an added bonus to the digital package, ‘Thirdreaction’ combines many of the above-mentioned characteristics in a wild, undulating, synth-focussed composition.

Rumbling beat, mind-bending dub chord and atmospheric safari by one of the absolute veterans of the Icelandic techno scene. Q-Box was originally released in 1999 on the legendary Thule Records and has since then been one of the ultimate go-to dub techno tracks for DJs worldwide. Now, 22 years later, the release has been remastered – and to add a little sprinkle to the cake we have worthy remixes from some of the mightiest of the current Reykjavik techno scene.

The 2x12“ limited release begins with the minimal techno banger Haus Í Krukku – an repetitive fist bumping anthem which works the dance floor as well today as it did back in the days. Followed the quirky percussion-based Áttfalt – a track done in collaboration with his father. The B-side starts with a rumbler Gegnum Skráargat, a groovy minimalistic dub techno delicacy. Steadily paced backroom anthem with chords that‘ll make your knees weak. Closing the side is Spællt, evocative & dubby mind-evolving.

The additional 12“ with the remixes starts with LaFontaine taking on Haus Í Krukku. The Icelandic boy wonder takes no prisoners and spares no effort in making it a essential one. Next is the veteran dub techno titan Octal Industries with his remix of Áttfalt - an effortless and groovy rendition of the track. An absolute belter. Finally the D-side has couple of the remixes from the enigmatic dub techno producer Waage, who has swept the scene recently with his „W“ series releases. He offers his signature sound – a perfect balance of drums and sound.

XOZ has been operating since 2017 and this is the tenth release so far. Also operating under the same regime is the side-label Planet X, where the more harder side of techno is explored. Both of the labels are the brainchild of the Icelandic techno artist Exos.

Oscean comes out firing from the outset on their new 12" entitled Multirays. The Argentinian duo of Andrés Zacco and Sebastián Galante are following up on the first release of their collaboration, Ideoma, also released on Tresor Records. With Multirays, this burgeoning collaboration reveals a promising evolution, moving into more rhythmically diverse environments and playful structures.

The opening track, Multidimensional, strikes with confronting beats and a searching, woolly bass sound. Constantly growing, it moves confidently with its skittering percussion work, ebbing and flowing through filter movements and expansive synths. Invisible Rays draws in breathing techno pulses, as Zacco and Galante cast drenches of feedback across the spectrum. A deceptively mellow melody, recalling Spiral from their debut EP, teases at a deeper melodic progression, but the focus stays locked on the animated rhythms, tempting towards divergent grooves but expertly keeping feet on the floor.

In Drivion, Oscean investigates electro territories, simultaneously bubbling and driving. Echoed arpeggiations and upfront beats funnel impulses between neurons. Broad synth gestures offer gateways into abstraction before, without barely a hint, the rhythms beat once more. On the closing track, Horisonsz, the duo drive forth through skipping rhythms and soul-searching bass murmurs. Synth pads beckon with fresnel lens reflections and rising warmth, motioning towards a stunning moment of euphoria, where futurist mirages coexist with distant memories.

BRETT is a new label celebrating the co-dependent scenes of techno and contemporary art. 

A sub label of Inland’s Counterchange imprint, each edition will feature music selected by Ed Davenport (Inland / Counterchange), paired with cover art curated by Nils Petersen (Flipping The Coin). 

BRETT is dedicated to the spirit of Berlin’s early club scene, where cross-pollination and spirited discourse between musicians and visual artists etched the blueprints for a new techno-culture.

001 finds co-creator and long-time Berlin ex-pat Inland at the helm, delivering four surging, up-tempo club tools, plus 2 brainwave-activating noise experiments. Celebrated Irish-born artist Mariechen Danz provides a photograph of her visionary sculpture, ‘Statue for Gesticulation’, for the cover artwork. 

The towering super-human structure bears a multitude of nurturing hand gestures suggesting support, comfort and togetherness. Built from roughly textured grey concrete and resembling a technoid, monolithic bunker or industrial space in itself, the loving, humanist symbols of peaceful action mirror the culture of inclusion, love and acceptance practiced on the dance floor.
