4.	Slam - Pattern A3 (Charles Fenckler Remix) 

The first single to be taken from Slam’s truly astounding upcoming album ‘Reverse Proceed’ sees the hypnotic Pattern A3 alongside some of Techno’s biggest and brightest new stars adding their own versions also.

Slam have chosen one of the major standout tracks from Reverse Proceed to set the tone prior to the album’s full release in late October. With the album built around the concept of varying sequences, it’s fitting that the first single be given such an apt name. Taken directly form the Cirklon sequencer pattern that helped design the track Pattern A3 features heavily modulating synths that seems to have a fully organic life of their own set against the typical backdrop of 909 drums. 

Following on from Slam’s original, Soma have enlisted the help of 3 of the label’s favourite contemporary Techno artists. Argentina’s Jonas Kopp is first up on remix duties and deliver an absolute pile-driver of a remix with his signature thudding drums and machine-gun like percussion firing rapidly against subtle and stripped synth elements.
 
Swedish based Bleak is a very welcome addition to this package as he offers his own ‘Modular Interpretation’. Heavy sub bass and intelligent drum work outs combine with yet more subtle hints of the original’s synth elements to give a more deep and introspective version. 

Rounding off the EP is latest Soma artist Charles Fenckler. The young French artist is making waves in Techno at the moment and has certainly delivered on this project, giving his version a much more minimalistic, stripped and ends up with a solid dance floor burner.

Border One, one of the leading figures of the Belgian techno sound that became a movement in Europe, has released on world-class labels like Token and SK_eleven. He now presents the 31st release of LDG. The release features remixes by LDG founders YUTA and O-MA, and Shinsuke Goto, whose remix marks his debut.

Exosignal by Border One is crafted with his main principle in mind "making the audience dance". The track is set to LDG’s signature mid-tempo, with sudden pads creating a unique and dreamy development, showcasing true craftsmanship.

The YUTA/O-MA REMIX is mid-tempo minimal techno with a distinct bassline, sharp hi-hats, percussive yet groovy elements, and subtle, refined techniques.

Shinsuke Goto’s REMIX, his debut track, is high-energy yet deep, layering a wavering lo-fi feel with tape-modular-like sounds, creating an addictive, immersive, and trippy modern techno.

Mastering is done by techno legend Peter Van Hoesen. BETA07, blending the refined and beautiful sound that LDG pursues, will be released 5 November.

ヨーロッパでムーブメントとなったベルギー特有のテクノサウンドを牽引する一人として、TokenやSK_elevenといったワールドクラスの名門レーベルからリリースを重ねてきたBorder OneがLDGの31作目を書き下ろす。LDG主宰のYUTAとO-MAに加え、本作がデビュートラックとなるShinsuke Goto、両者のRemixがラインナップ！

Border OneによるExosignalは、彼が最も念頭におく「オーディエンスを踊らせることを最優先に」という理念の元、LDGが得意とするミドルテンポに落とし込み、突如として現れるパッドが幻想的かつ独特の展開を魅せる、まさに職人芸といった作品となっている。

YUTA/O-MAが手掛けるREMIXは、特徴的なベースラインが全体を支え、切れ味のあるハイハット、硬さもありながらパーカッシブでグルービー、燻し銀な技が際立つミッドテンポのミニマルテクノ。

今回が自身のデビュートラックとなるShinsuke GotoのREMIXは、ハイエナジーでありながらもディープな特性を全面に押し出し、揺らめくLo-fi感とテープモジュラーのような音を重ね、中毒的で陶酔感あふれるトリッピーなモダンテクノ。

マスタリングはテクノレジェンドPeter Van Hoesenが担当、LDGが追求する渋さと美しさが共存した本作BETA07、11/5にリリース！

Border One - Exosignal

Titled ‘We Grow, You Decline’ the eleven new pieces dare you to readjust your perception of @Kobosil's previous releases and invite you to listen carefully – in a more quiet environment than the usual dancefloor setting. ‘We Grow, You Decline’ marks a swerve from club-contextual tracks towards a more musical, multilayered song format, but it's worth mentioning that the album is not a reinvention of Kobosil's past production efforts. There have always been distinct hints of his fondness for more abstract, non-dancefloor rhythms, discomforting sounds and mindful listening in his young discography.

Berlin-based Irish artist Hybrasil delivers a high-grade debut album on Radio Slave’s Rekids. Since moving to Berlin Hybrasil has been an avid buyer of records at Hardwax, going to modular workshops at the cult Schneidersladen, attending Superbooth and Berlin Atonal, Panorama Bar and Berghain, whilst releasing his big, arresting techno sounds on his own eponymous label. Alongside this he’s been spending time in the studio with Radio Slave, who played Hybrasil's ‘Hathor’ in Panorama Bar which kicked off a three-month burst of creativity that led to this album. As such, the album is very much a product of the artist's time in Berlin and was written for the Panorama Bar and Berghain sound system and all who attend its dance halls.

The album takes off with the smooth rolling techno of'Hathor'; that gets you on your toes, while 'Come Back'; soon ups the ante thanks to the way Hybrasil twists and turns his synths above the rooted kick drums. 'Ceres'; then has edgy sustained chords and thunderous claps that will sound mega in a cavernous warehouse space.

'Orpeheus'; is a masterclass in economical but effective techno, with well-crafted hi hats, rolling kicks and vocal stabs all driving it forward. 'Ursa Minor'; traps the listener in unresolved loops that keep a locked groove, until 'Messier'; mixes up seriously weighty bass-drum thuds and Jeff Mills style melodic minimalism. The compelling LP completes with 'Igigi'; and 'Vela', two more astral techno rollers with celestial synths and devastating drum programming.
