This volume gathers voices from Georgia, Norway, Russia, the UK, Italy, and the USA a lineup built not only on geographical spread but also on a deeper commitment to diversity across race and gender.

What unites them is a shared understanding of techno as a vehicle for tension, defiance, and catharsis. § (Section) sets the tone with 'Distorted Soul', a washed out, atmospheric descent into distortion and decay, where every layer sounds like it's been dragged through ash. ERASE (NOR) follows with 'Repentance', a thumping body track built to punish and uplift in equal measure pure hardware muscle and forward drive.

KLEPERIS delivers 'Applause', a tribal, offbeat, and unbalanced, it moves like a ritual with no clear end, its grooves both jagged and hypnotic. NEW FLESH tears through the haze with 'Bloody Minded' raw edged, aggressive, and soaked in punk energy. It's the sound of someone choosing noise over silence every time.

'The 9th Sin' by NOT SO HEAVY is a gritty, heavy-grained cut filled with smudged textures and low-end pressure, it grinds forward like a corrupted engine. PLURAL closes the VA with 'What Say You', a tightly wound lo-fi piece of driving discord, where looping tension builds toward a sense of beautiful collapse.

RITUALS11 is a sharpened document of where techno stands right now, not polished, not safe, but alive and unfiltered.

Morphogenesis

Premiere: Hioll - Symbol [BST025]

On the fourth day, it shattered.

The visions fractured into shards of unbearable noise. His own heartbeat coming from centuries ago, footsteps he had yet to take echoing in his skull. Time slipped from his grasp like blood between fingers. The hunter became lost in corridors of his own making, trapped in a maze of moments where every enemy he ever killed was still alive… and hunting him back.

Some say Jbilo still walks among us, moving between seconds like a flickering flame. Others say he’s stuck in one single heartbeat, replaying it forever. But no one can say for sure, because no one has seen him twice.

Label: Depth.Request
Artist: § (section)
Title: The Last Wish EP
Track: Things Aren't Always What They Seem
Catalogue Number: DRD003
Format: Digital 
Release Date: September 3, 2025
Mastered by Alain Paul
Artwork by Geoffrey Cousin

§ (section) is a reflection — a flashback to the raw, underground energy of the post-Covid rave era, before the scene became saturated with mainstream trends and commercial aesthetics. It’s a call to remember what the dancefloor used to feel like: intimate, intense, and unfiltered.
The EP The Last Wish draws inspiration from the video game narrative in which, at the very end, a portal sends you back to the beginning. That cyclical motion mirrors the artist’s final wish: to return to the roots — to the sweat-drenched warehouses, to the uncompromising sound, to the underground. This is not nostalgia for the sake of it — it’s a sonic rebellion. A time loop. A ritual. A last wish to rewind the scene.
Accompanying the three original § (section) tracks are remixes from a trio of underground disruptors: Tunnel, Violent, and 2+2=5. Each brings their own strain of industrial techno chaos — from Tunnel’s mechanical pulse and cavernous atmospheres to Violent’s scorched-earth distortion and breakneck pressure, to 2+2=5’s bleak, experimental deconstructions. These aren’t just remixes — they’re mutations. Warped reflections of the original vision, dragged deeper into the warehouse void. Together, they push the § (section) mythology further into the shadows, amplifying the raw intensity of the contemporary circuit.

ANTIDOTE Premiere: Hioll - Planetario [BST025]

Blush Recordings presents its fourteenth release, Raw Eloh EP , marking the first full solo EP by ADERAL. Known for their raw, unfiltered approach to techno and broken rhythms, the Italo-Moroccan duo delivers a four-track arsenal that thrives on distortion, intensity, and a subtle touch of dystopian irony.

Built on a sci-fi-tinged vision of war and chaos, Raw Eloh twists traditional structures into something unpredictable. Shut Up and Run opens the EP with a hypnotic 4/4 pulse, a relentless techno tool rooted in the duo’s live set. Unperson takes a darker turn, blending warehouse-weighted kicks with fractured break loops and evolving cybernetic synths.

With Negotiator, the boundaries blur—starting as a driving 4/4, it mutates into a broken-beat assault, layered with an unsettling vocal loop taken from a news report on nuclear negotiations. Finally, AHRB strips everything down to the essentials. Brutal, minimal, and mercilessly effective, it’s a tool designed to cut through the dance floor with razor-sharp percussion and sheer sonic force.

"Raw Eloh" embodies ADERAL’s approach to the label—stripped-down, forceful, and unrelenting. No polish, no concessions, just pure, abrasive energy.
