Harvey McKay follows up on the release of his second studio long player, ‘Anatomy Of A Drum Machine’, with a new single. ‘On The Drum’ gets a release on Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains imprint continuing the strong ties between McKay and the label.

Panel beating kicks and rasping acid bubbles characterise the title track’s minimalistic charms, as McKay ramps up the intensity midway with coarse hats and a monotone vocal. Sometimes, simplicity is everything, and on ‘On The Drum’, this is certainly the case.

Accompanying track ‘Mechanic’ is typically frenetic and rapid, as McKay rattles through crispy drum machine patterns and head scrambling tones for an intense and fierce techno mind melter!

The seasoned producer/DJ from Glasgow has notched up an impressive catalogue of releases for labels such as UNCAGE, Perc Trax, Cocoon, Filth On Acid, Soma Quality Recordings and many more, always delivering well-polished and effective techno cuts.

Factory danger

Machines want order. I feed them errors.
Micro-delays. Off-grid movement.
Controlled instability shaping the groove.

Hard mechanical pressure, humanized in milliseconds.
Birds over concrete.
Imperfection as resistance.

Humanize It!

CHRISTIAN NIELSEN is a musician you would not immediately expect to see behind the SPEICHER / KOMPAKT EXTRA crest. We love to surprise your ears and have enjoyed for some time his outsider approach to any genre he chooses to tackle. In particular with “Hard Times” – a prime-time melodic monster that bridges the right transitions. Right when you need them to. 

Berlin via Belgium techno juggernaut LOCKED GROOVE has been on our radar for ages thanks to releases on HOTFLUSH and AFTERLIFE. “Dawn” is one of those magical tunes that loop along but evolves with every listen. You hold us to it that we think it could be the best set opener 2017 will have to offer. Intricate drums balance well with lush minimalistic melodies. 

Our SPEICHER series rapidly heads towards 100. Where it goes, only we know - so savour the flavour while it lasts.

La Fleur - Exhaust is taken from La Fleur - Exhaust EP on Truesoul Records.

Release date 8th of January 2018.

"Deepening its connection with its Swedish roots, Truesoul is excited to welcome La Fleur to the collective.

The Berlin-based, Stockholm-born DJ/producer has emerged as one of the most exciting in house and techno circles in recent years. A resident of Watergate, label boss of the quality Power Plant imprint and new addition to Labyrinth parties in Ibiza, this EP follows La Fleur’s amazing 90-minute set at the Pacha party this season alongside Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg.

Her strong two-track contribution to the Truesoul catalogue begins with ‘Fish Truck’, a brilliant multi-layered concoction of shuffling beats, heavy bass and a woozy synth line with a subtle nod to Chicago. A rare track that is simultaneously thought-provoking due to its complexity, yet powerful and harmonious in its execution to be a peak-time weapon. ‘Exhaust’ changes up the energy and mood deliciously, as layers of lush pads fill the soundscape and combine with a vocal from an Eckhart Tolle video where a woman asks him why we are so affected by music. With a backbone of funk-laden techno beats, it’s at once beautiful yet melancholic. "

UK duo Waze & Odyssey join Jamie Jones’ Hottrax imprint with an epic new single entitled ‘Shape’ featuring e1even Records duo No Rules on remix duties.

Hailing from the UK, Waze & Odyssey’s recent appearances include Relief, Unknown To The Unknown and Edible, not to mention W&O Street Tracks - their own renowned imprint that’s hosted names like Groove Armada, Citizenn, Mella Dee and Ejeca. Whilst the pair have no doubt earned their stripes as producers and A&Rs, they’ve also cemented a reputation as standout DJs, playing at top venues like Panorama Bar, Fabric, Amnesia, as well as festivals such as Glastonbury, Hideout and Bestival.

‘Shape’ kicks things off using a combination of cosmic pads, plucky bass synths and wandering arpeggios to create a visceral aesthetic from start to finish. British producers No Rules then reinterpret ‘Shape’, delivering a laid back cut complete with a pulsating low-end, looped piano stabs and guitar-like strums to close the package.
