Markantonio’s record label AnalyticTrail presents the first of its Black Series compilations, which showcases imprint's dark and raw side.

'Black Series I' features four peak time techno tracks by Beck And Rius, Jacopo Ghirardi and Black Synth (IT), plus one from Markantonio himself.

Based in the Naples region of Italy, Markantonio has been at the top of his country’s club scene for over two decades, and was one of the people who pioneered the genre in the now thriving local techno scene. His track "1990" gives a nod to '90s techno, and is in the dark and driving style he has previously showcased on labels ranging from Odd Recordings to Second State.

Beck And Rius are a German duo making their debut on AnalyticTrail following releases on other imprints such as Terminal M, Phobiq and Gain Records. Their stomping track "Mars Opposition" blends eerie synth textures with heavy percussion and a throbbing bassline.

Jacopo Ghirardi is from Turin, Italy and makes his debut on AnalyticTrail following music signed to The YellowHeads' Reload and Spartaque's IAMT. The sinister melodies and lurching chord changes of the tense pads combine perfectly with thrashing percussion in his track "Habitat".

Black Synth (IT) and Allexandra close out the release with their collaborative track "Remember", which blends an explosive kick drum with rippling acid tones, to deliver a slice of industrial techno with brutal energy. Allexandra is from Germany and she has previously worked with Black Synth (IT) on tracks released by DSR Digital.

Markantonio's record label AnalyticTrail presents the second release in its Black Series.

The release is a three track EP from UK artist Drumsauw whose known for his previous releases on imprints such as Planet Rhythm, Orange Recordings, Reload and Unity Records.

Based in the city of Plymouth, Joseph Sutherland aka Drumsauw has been releasing techno since 2017, and has built up a reputation for having an unrelenting style that’s both dark and hypnotic.

Drumsauw tracks have featured in Beatport’s techno charts on numerous occasions, and he is also an accomplished DJ who is well-known in southwest England’s thriving club scene.

Each of the tracks has ferocious energy and sinister atmosphere at the heart of its groove.

“The Voice” opens the release with thrashing percussion and fast-paced rhythms that are overlaid with chopped vocals. “Without” has a rolling groove with rumbling sub bass and old school melody stabs. “Hitcher” closes the release with its frantic energy and modulating synth line that combine with hard-hitting percussion.

Procombo returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects with four-track techno EP ‘U Wanna’. 

Active in Istanbul’s techno scene since the mid ’90s, Procombo heads up RX Recordings, an offshoot of the vital RX Istanbul club in the city. Returning to Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects Label this September after 2021’s ‘Orpheus’, the DJ/producer delivers four new hard-hitting techno tracks. 

‘U Wanna’ gets straight to the point as rattling drums push up against swirling pads leading into a hooky vocal destined for emotional dancefloor moments, while ‘Bei Bei’ keeps the energy levels up with its fluid and shuffling percussion. ‘Particles of Groove’ sees warped hits twist and turn alongside modulating stabs and delayed FX before ‘Hopeless Romantic’ brings tight, punchy snares together with spoken word snippets over trippy earworms to close out the EP.

The idea for "Apostle 303" started when I found a vocal sample from a church choir. I thought this choir would fit very well for a very memorable acid techno track that is authentic and not just another acid techno track from anyone. So I tried to turn the idea into reality and produced an acid techno track with a big epic choir.

"Paradox" - Since I am a huge fan of big atmospheric breaks and heavy drops in techno, I tried to create a drop with big drums, a heavy rolling bass and strong synthies for "Paradox". For the break I tried to get a lot more atmospheric with some choir chords and an almost trance like melody combined with some breakbeats to keep the groove interesting and danceable.
