ASW Premiere: Wetworks - Bronx Bound Train

SHDW presents ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno.

Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025.
The fourth edition of SHDW’s flagship ‘Federation Of Rytm’ VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/ producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether that's in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages.

"I’ve lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the label’s evolution and a glimpse of what’s next. ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish.” – SHDW.

Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ lands as a 4x12” vinyl package and digitally via Mutual Rytm on 24th October 2025.

Vibraform by Berlin-based hardware and live artist Peryl provides an analytical yet deeply instinctive view on music. It reflects the duality between flow and restraint, between self-exploration and the healthy act of setting limits. At its core lies a certain nonchalance - a refusal to act on voices and trends while maintaining full commitment to sound itself.

Meticulous sound design, unpredictable, morphing basslines and an intentional timeless aesthetic offer a rare window into Peryl’s creative state of mind. Even as he tries to sidestep personal narratives, emotions inevitably surface in the music, subtly shaping its character. The result is not a confessional piece of work, but an abstraction that remains universal rather than private, while still carrying a trace of personal truth. Four tracks that are striking a rare balance between novelty, grace and aggressive functionality, including a remix by Rødhåd, offer to find purpose in the act of believing that sooner or later art reveals a logic of its own.

Square Race

In search of the perfect sounds, I wander through the city, letting myself be caressed by the lights of the alleys that line the Seine. Once again, memories surface in my mind in this dream that merges with reality.
Like an echo, words from Charles spin in my mind: “The devil pulls the strings which make us dance.”
The light of the cars illuminates my path, and the incessant sound of the drums makes my body move again and again…

Domenico Crisci & Retina.it return with a powerful new collaboration, following their 12” on Semantica last year and an EP on Summa Cum Laude, this release marks another chapter in a deep-rooted legacy of Napoli’s techno scene.
With a career spanning decades, Retina.it known also for their pioneering QMen project with Rino Cerrone - helped ignite the original Napoli techno movement back in 1995. Their music has graced labels like Design Music (Marco Carola) and Conform (Gaetano Parisio), defining the city's signature raw, analog sound.

Domenico Crisci continues to carry that torch forward. With acclaimed releases on L.I.E.S., Jealous God (Silent Servant, Regis, James Ruskin), Semantica, and more, he remains one of the most uncompromising voices in modern techno.
This release is a convergence of two generations - uncompromising, hypnotic, and true to the roots of Napoli’s underground.

François X closes The Skin Between Us with a second chapter that feels less like a conclusion than a sharpening of intent. Where Part I wrestled with heritage and tension, Part II is about clarity: two tracks that underline his belief in techno as something lived, not abstracted.

Label: XX LAB
Catalogue: XXL010
Format: Digital
Genre: Electronic

Tracklist:
1. Before I Knew The Words
2. In Memory Of 

Taken together, the diptych is François X’s most personal work to date. It reframes techno not as a detached exercise in form, but as a language of memory and presence, music that belongs to both the body and the self.
As ever, François X’s sound is caught between lineages. Rooted in the legacy of Black American dance music but shaped by the European club experience, it refuses to treat those influences as separate. They echo through each other here, hybrid and inseparable, just as they do in the artist himself.

Part II distills this into two striking statements. Before I Knew The World is immersive and weighty, built on reverberant kicks and deep pads that pull you in like gravity. In Memory Of is more direct: a driving, knight-like piece of techno that balances percussive force with tenderness, offering affirmation rather than confrontation.

More than a release, The Skin Between Us asks what it means to belong to a scene, to a lineage, to a body. François X doesn’t attempt to answer. Instead, he creates presence: techno that remembers, resists, and insists on its own language

The vinyl edition presses both parts into a single object: tension and clarity fused, a reminder that these are not separate states but two faces of the same coin.

The Skin Between Us | Part II

In Memory Of

Premiere: François X — In Memory Of [XXL010]

Cult has quietly become one of Ireland’s most essential techno exports in recent years. Hailing from Dublin, he’s an artist in constant motion, refusing to settle, always evolving. His approach is rooted in forward momentum, driven by a relentless curiosity for new sounds, textures, and sonic frontiers.

He first caught attention with a series of raw, loop-heavy techno releases on SoundCloud and Bandcamp, referencing the tribal, sample-based stylings of early 2000s techno. But rather than linger in nostalgia, Cult has pushed forward into uncharted terrain. His sound today is defined by a deep focus on sound design and atmosphere - futuristic and uncompromising. This shift hasn’t gone unnoticed; his productions have gained support from some of techno’s most respected figures and regularly appear in sets at the world’s most influential clubs and festivals.

His discography spans acclaimed labels like Molekul, Hardline, and Analytic Trail, and he’s also involved with AKTIVV, a Berlin-based label and collective that champions stripped-back, honest techno. More recently, he co-founded TwoFace with long-time collaborator Dylan Fogarty, a vinyl-focused label that embraces genre-fluid, boundary-pushing sounds.

As a DJ, Cult is a risk-taker. He's not interested in easy wins or genre conventions. His sets move seamlessly between techno, house, garage, dubstep, and whatever else feels right. This fearless, shape-shifting approach has landed him behind the decks at institutions like Rote Sonne, Sub Club, Crackhouse, and others across Europe.

Despite an increasingly impressive résumé, Cult remains low-key, eschewing the algorithm-driven hype cycles of social media in favour of letting the music speak for itself. In an era dominated by online personas, Cult is resolutely offline, dedicated to craft over clout. And it’s working.
