Robert Armani - Road Tour (Dave Clarke Remix)

In 1990, Frankie Bones opened “Groove Records,” a techno outpost deep in Brooklyn. Adam X soon became a co-owner and by 1995 the shop was relocated to Manhattan, with Heather Heart rounding out the trio. The new shop was called “Sonic Groove” and it quickly became ground zero for techno in New York City. There was nothing like it in the area at the time or, arguably, anywhere in America.

Sonic Groove was 110% dedicated to techno, a genre that was just past its infancy and exploding worldwide. A community emerged around the shop and thus the label was spawned.

Adam X had an agenda from the very beginning as label curator (and eventually sole owner): to release some of the most forward thinking underground techno music around. Realizing that goal was no easy feat, considering the volume of records being released at the time in a fast-paced and growing scene.

Fast-forward 25 years. Adam X and Sonic Groove are still at the forefront of modern underground techno, sticking to the same ethos and pushing the envelope further into the future. The faces and sounds may have changed, but the label has kept true to the vision. In an era now dominated by image, style, and trivial content, Sonic Groove continues its mission of putting the music first and foremost.

Now in celebration of 25 years, Sonic Groove releases a muscular 12 song compilation of  previously unreleased music comprised from the label's current artist roster.  A testament to techno's ever evolving sound and serves as a modern document showcasing the path Sonic Groove has taken and where it has led to, proving that as time passes, there is still room for creativity and innovation in the genre as demonstrated throughout these 12 tracks.

VA - Sardonic Tonality Vol. 2 [HVNWHT004]
Label: HAVEN White Label
Release date: 17/04/2020
A1. Taken Name - Step Out
A2. Riesenfeld - Skamlebæk Radiotårn
B1. Ryan James Ford - Dollar Hits
B2. Julien Andreas - Lethal Hardcore 3

Haven’s fourth release in their white label series continues its focus on dance-floor-ready madness with the label’s second VA compilation on ‘Sardonic Tonality Vol. 2’, this time with four newcomers to the burgeoning imprint.

The A1 launches the release with ‘Step Out’ from mysterious duo ‘Taken Name’. With razor-sharp sound design, bass-heavy synth work, and sinister atmospheres this certified banger is already proving its ability to get bodies moving. Following on the A2 is a hazy smasher from Copenhagen resident and TRTLNCK co-founder Riesenfeld, featuring epic synth lines and emotive pads while being propelled forward by its rolling drum work in a perfect example of what draws people to the sound of the Danish capital.

The B-side begins with a true weirdo slammer from Ryan James Ford. With its pounding kick, drum breaks, ominous melody and peculiar atmospherics it provides the perfect ingredients for a hectic club weapon. The release closes with a creepy, drugged-out banger from US producer Julien Andreas. Malevolent vocals, pulsing bass, crunchy drums and bizzaro sound design combine in another dance-floor-ready trip to close another potent collection from Haven.

We are delighted to welcome Swedish techno and deep house extraordinaire Dorisburg to the Phonica label family! 

Alexander Burg has had a rock-solid string of top-class releases on labels like Hivern Discs, Aniara and Northern Electronics in recent years, and his brand new EP ‘House Organ For The Lonely’ is certainly no exception to the rule. 

Comprised of three slow-building and ominous techno masterpieces - each set upon a bed of delicate synth-lines, off-kilter percussion work and whirring electronics. Perfect for those after-hours moments. 
Vinyl out now! You can also grab it digitally from all of your favourite sources (Spotify, Bandcamp, Beatport, Juno Download etc). Links below. Enjoy! 🙌
