KYSH label family is growing fast. A new massive Comp to kickoff 2025 comes your way – showcasing quality modern techno from Poland’s 3city base to all underground scenes around the world. 

The list of newly welcomed contributors says it all, although the music comes even better. Often bleepy, carefully sound-designed, never not impactful.

PRE-ORDER

KYSH VA03 (Preview)

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.

GTG Premiere | Backbone - From 0 [MR039]

Hello followers and listeners of ELBEREC, Behold our annual anniversary Compilation!
All of a sudden, here we are celebrating our first year rocking around the block and supplying you with 100% Portuguese quality dancefloor commotion!

This was surely an odd year for all and everyone, but among these unpredictable times we still were able to keep our resilience on track and most importantly the lingering flames of releasing, playing and creating music, burning very deep inside. Indeed also a year to reflect how is so essential to share and converge our emotions into dance and communal liberation through the art of Music, and to keep the will of expression alive, even more in times of adversity.

The following collection of eighteen tracks displays the very present times of Portuguese under-underground electronic currents, which restlessly move our little-shaped country community with sterling quality and stimulating diversity. A vast amount of talent - and a far-from-obvious harvest - some of it debuting now on the label, to be dug by those who aren't so familiar with Portugal's scene, curated with decentralized eye and hear.
Roaming from high-driven Techno, peaktime banging intensity, to colder and hypnotic scenery, to wonky grooves, high-bpm infused House or space-rambling Electro, this volume aims to deliver the furious dancing these hard times are requiring and to set a proud mark on our first year of activity.

Play f*****g loud and get down to it!

Backbone is the alias of Afonso, a Portuguese DJ, producer, and founder of Vinculum Festival. With deep roots in both the raw energy of Jungle/Drum & Bass and the hypnotic structure of techno, his sound reflects a lifelong devotion to rhythm and experimentation. Born in Mondim de Basto and shaped by the underground scenes of Porto and beyond, Backbone blends driving baselines, atmospheric textures, and percussive intensity into DJ sets that are as physical as they are cerebral.

His journey includes acclaimed releases on labels such as Counterchange, Nechto, and Contempo Music, as well as a standout contribution to a VA on Mutual Rytm. In 2025, he launched his own imprint, Crulight Records, as a home for raw, unpredictable, and forward-thinking techno explorations.

As the mind behind Vinculum Festival — a mountain-based gathering now known for booking some of techno's most vital voices — Backbone continues to shape a forward-thinking and deeply personal vision of electronic music, both in the studio and behind the decks.
