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’.

Premiere: Levzon - Intense [MR020]

Support here: https://bluehourmusic.bandcamp.com/album/omni-part-2

Omni – meaning all-encompassing – is an apt title for celebrating over a decade of existence of Blue Hour Music. Marking the musical diversity and longevity of Blue Hour's imprint, the Omni V/A series brings together a wide range of artists from the full electronic music spectrum, plunging into a pool of techno, trance, breaks and everything in between. 

Approaching nearly 50 releases in vinyl and digital formats, remix series and sub-labels as well as limited edition merch, the imprint has swerved hypes, trends and fads throughout its long-running tenure. Platforming quality productions by artists worldwide, Blue Hour Music has forged a name of its own in a landscape that evolves with mercurial speed. 

Like Blue Hour's sound as an artist, it's impossible to classify the label's discography into a single category or genre. The two-part Omni compilations ebb and flow between hazy atmospheres and tougher, live-wire textures, colluding into a multi-coloured trip that encapsulates the lush world of Blue Hour Music.

Manchester-born DJ, producer, and label boss Cleric has been a prolific figure within the electronic dance landscape for fifteen years. With his label, Clergy, the Mancunian has strived to cultivate an aesthetic that mirrors his own musical principles. Always earnest in his conviction, Cleric has stayed staunch to the pacey, arresting techno that's secured him his rightful place amongst the scene's hardest hitters.

In the ten years since his Clergy imprint has been active, Cleric has overseen releases from Dax J, James Ruskin, Kwartz, Stef Mendesidis, Obscure Shape, Christian Wünsch & Temudo, among others. As an astute and intuitive A&R, Cleric has also offered a platform for new-wave talent such as Félicie, Bidoben, and Albert Zhirnov.

Always tried to keep the artwork fresh with a revolving 5/5 series concept. The label has always worked in series of 5, with the 5th being a collaboration to close the chapter (CRG005-Cleric x Dax J | CRG010 Cleric x Setaoc Masse etc.) -Cleric

To usher in the next decade, Cleric has announced a total of 10 VAs to be released in 2025, each with five original tracks, and closing with a remix of a track from the label's back catalog by Cleric himself. The first VA titled 'Alpha' will drop on the 25th of January.
