---------------------------

With “Poller”, I describe a space where inner conflict and driving clarity collide. The expansive reverb symbolizes the tangled stream of thoughts in my head – moments when ideas and impulses clash without restraint. Yet instead of remaining in chaos, the track is grounded by a steady, unwavering groove. For me, this rhythm is more than just a foundation: it is the engine, the structure, and the driving force that holds everything together.

Tokyo’s Risa Taniguchi returns to Chris Liebing’s CLR with the ‘Break It’ EP 29th August 2025. The two-tracker follows her previous outings on the label, 2024’s ‘Wakes From Coma’ and ‘So Loud’, which earned support from Dave Clarke, Kelly Lee Owens, and Luke Slater, and 2022’s ‘Acid Flesh’, in collaboration with Black Asteroid.

Title track ‘Break It’ sees Kneaded Pains, Second State, Mind Medizin, and core CLR artist Risa Taniguchi open with high-intensity built around pounding kicks and a searing synth stab. The tension is palpable as icy hats and bold low-end drive forward beneath evocative spoken vocals culminating in a dark, strobe-lit roller primed to lock in peak-time floors. There’s no respite with ‘Give Me Up’, a tense and relentless follow-up laced with razor-sharp percussion, unresolved loops, and a monstrous, rumbling bottom end. It’s precision-tooled Techno, designed to hit hard, both physically and mentally.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as The Southern, and Klint.

Risa Taniguchi ‘Break It’ arrives on CLR on August 29th

With the Scratch EP, Scottish techno powerhouse Gary Beck delivers four razor-sharp cuts that bring raw energy and dancefloor pressure to FJAAK’s label CROWD. Known for his unmistakable grooves and stripped-down power, Beck presents a no-frills EP that bridges classic techno aesthetics with forward momentum.

Opening with the single ‘French System’, the EP kicks off in full throttle. It’s a propulsive roller built around tough drums, catchy synths, a female vocal leading the way and Beck’s signature percussive tension. Title track ‘Scratch’ follows with a twitchy, angular rhythm that spirals around a fragmented vocal motif and bold machine-funk energy with tense breaks leading to ecstatic drops.

On the record’s flip side, ‘How Do You Feel’ keeps the level high, fusing jacking rhythms with a funky vocal and a Beck’s heavy signature kicks. Finally, ‘Eclipse’ closes the EP pushing the energy into darker territories with relentless drive, its distorted pulse and industrial edge.

This release marks a fierce debut on CROWD for Gary Beck – four no-nonsense weapons crafted for peak-time moments and the rawer corners of the club. A heavy-hitting addition to the label’s catalog and a must-have for techno selectors with a taste for precision and punch.

BCCO Premiere: Steve Redhead - Faded Echo [13130001]

Release Date: 17.10.2025

‘b-CY’ is an impactful four-track techno EP, yet it borrows the aesthetic from the left-field side of things.

The title of the EP oscillates between the ideas of ‘breaking the Cycle’ and ‘bringing the Cycle’. It is a reflection on life’s rhythms and cycles through the repetitive nature of techno. In this release, Ilya moves his production into more interwoven structures that dissolve into one another, wrapping them in tribal percussion and reassembled breaks. 

‘b-CY’ is infused with fragments and textures drawn from Ilya’s favourite archival radio shows of the late ’90s and early 2000s, merging these samples into intricate sonic collages that blur the line between classic techno spirit and forward-thinking grooves. 

Staying true to his signature style and intuitive approach, with ‘b-CY’ Ilya continues to find his way around the outlines of techno.

Remain Limited 45 presents one more package that is signed by Mediterranean artists: Greek heavy-weight Axel Karakasis comes all strong with Closed.  Funkiness in a dubby background sprinkled with supernatural synths is the trademark of the original mix.  Firm and perky, this one’s rather irresistible!
Luigi Madonna delivers an oh-so-yummy remix.  Faithful to the dark side of the original, Luigi proves a tease-master with his version, which is a seductive and nicely streamlined take of Closed.
The release wouldn’t be complete without a bit of a twist! Open is one groovy hell-raiser, bringing together atmospheric and pumpy, tribal and funkiness in this well built and solid structured track.
