Often adorned with brutalistic accents, his soundscapes captivate with an enigmatic allure and dwell between the realms of darkness and light, forging a sublime equilibrium of contrasting emotions.

Francesco Visconti aka VSK has developed an intimate understanding of various techno sub-genres, effortlessly navigating the spectrum from a gritty, somber sound infused with industrial elements to a profound, introspective experience. 

With compositions that are blurring boundaries between raw & austere aesthetics, he’s solidifying his position as a visionary artist poised to reshape the landscape of experimental electronic music.

Since making waves in 2007, Gary Beck’s racked up an insane list of achievements. BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix? Done. Boiler Room sessions? Double done. And when it comes to collaborations, he’s hooked up with mad talents like Green Velvet, Speedy J and many more.

When it’s showtime, Beck rocks the baddest venues around. Think Womb Tokyo, Fabric London, Berghain, Awakenings, and Tresor—just to name a few. And when he’s not touring, he’s killin’ it as an excellent music producer & head honcho of BEK Audio. Get ready to vibe, ‘cause Gary Beck is the definition of pure sonic magic!

Release date 27. 10. 2023


For 27. 010 we’re welcoming back Utrecht-based artist Jorge Fons.

Initially we got a little scoop of his sonic palette through his piece “Dulces Mañanas”, released on the label’s first V.A. compilation: ’27.007’

His musical signature is an exploration of the mysterious and hypnotic, an enigmatic journey through the depths of sound, where light and darkness fuse, pulsating rhythms seamlessly merge with entrancing grooves,
creating a deep and somewhat obscure dimension.

Serving us with these five delights, we really can’t wait to share a slice with you: ¡Buen provecho!

27 011


In the oscillating world of techno, German-born Marc Faenger weaves his artistry with a multitude of creative threads. Nuanced, his prowess shines equally bright, whether he's rocking stages around the world or crafting in his studio.

Leaning into dark, heavy ambient with “Ripped Fuel" on the compilation of 27.007  — a piece that whispered the first notes of his unique soundscapes — 
he’s no stranger to LVMINAL.

Back on the label with a phenomenal LP, we are welcoming you to dive into his eclectic, modular universe:
A symphony of energy, echoing his signature ethos of no-nonsense, hypnotic-to-raw, impactful techno. At the heart of his creations is his 100% analog live setup, a meticulously curated assembly of sonic tools, consisting of a sampler, a drum machine, a suite of effects & the core of his musical cosmos — his modular rig.

This ensemble is the alchemist's crucible, transforming raw energy into the sophisticated, unadulterated sound panorama that is quintessentially Marc Faenger.

A rising star on Colombia ́s sky, 

Bogotano ‘Thyme’ joins LVMINAL to serve some rich and eclectic slices of underground soundscape; 

Weaving through the intricate layers of delicate, groovy techno, this EP showcases his mastery across emotions, yet always radiating with a signature warmth and hypnotic resonance. 

Drifting into dreamlike deep dub territory, where cinematic glimmers ripple over a sea of undulating basslines and crisp 4/4 rhythms, serving as a perfect touch to the soft abyssal depths, while the finale shifts back into an introspective, shimmering space, with gentle, glowing synths emerging beneath layers of analog drone, 

An entrancing essence emerging from shadowy depths, 

Play it loud.

Infused with the vibrant energy of his Colombian roots, Alessandro masterfully crafts a journey that radiates a spicy yet ethereal allure, bridging sultry rhythms with dreamlike textures. 

His compositions feel spacious and breezy, carrying an elegant sense of momentum. The tracks move with graceful freedom guided by an undercurrent of rhythmical precision. 

Clear, deliberate, and airy, this release is designed for introspection as much as it is for the dancefloor. 

Play it loud.

Alessandro (COL) - Burn (Original Mix) [LVM27018]

Focalin channels the spirit of a ceremonial dancefloor, crafting a sonic experience that feels deeply personal yet universally resonant. His Jazz and Classical training breathe life into an exquisite fusion of texture and structure, marking his debut on LVMINAL with a timeless and elemental nuance. The result is a dynamic interplay of organic intensity and polished minimalism, embodying both raw energy and refined sophistication.  

The tracks echo the vibrancy of 90´s club culture while venturing deeper into meditative territory, letting the intro pulse with primal intent, unfolding like a ritual. The percussive elegance creates a trance-inducing foundation and cascades through dimensional richness that is compositionally poised. 

Deeply textural yet uncluttered, a vibrant flow of architectural finesse.   

 Play it loud.

Continuing its tradition of unearthing neoteric talent, the Berlin-orbiting label proudly unveils the second full-length album: 

A transmission from a distant future. 
27.020 is a lost archive discovered in the ruins of a forgotten civilization. Oscillations swirl through nebulous textures, glitching synths pulse like flickering neon, and deep, hypnotic basslines trace the edges of consciousness.   

LVMINAL continues its mission: deeper, further, beyond.  
Along vast liquid dub and eerie synthetic atmospheres, Uno Technopuro crafts an arcane world where time delays, perception distorts, and sound becomes an endless horizon. Rhythms stretch into infinity, subharmonics dissolve into quantum noise, and alien intelligence reverberates like waves bending through spacetime. 

A study in sound as structure. 



Artist Profile: Uno Technopuro 

Hailing from the obscure terrains of Finland, Uno is not merely a producer but a sonic architect. As the co-founder of the Raami Collective, his artistry delves deep into the realms of hypnotic, dark, and atmospheric soundscapes. His compositions are a harmonious blend of cutting-edge sound design and elements of mysticism, science, and esotericism, resulting in minimalist, abstract, and profoundly immersive journeys. 

 LVMINAL opens another portal. Step inside.
