Tracklist:
A1: Lokier - Back To Life
B1: Lokier - Dimension
B2: Lokier - Call Me

Based in Berlin by way of her hometown Mexico, Lokier has firmly cemented her spot within the European underground scene with appearances at Berghain and Tresor, as well as renowned international venues and festivals Reaktor, Contact, Dimensions, CTM, Nuits Sonores & more. “Back To Life EP” marks Lokier’s debut on Lenske, showcasing her ability to fuse the worlds of industrial, rave, techno and trance with an electrifying 3 tracker.

Opening the record is “Back To Life”, a minimal techno highlight with deep, foreboding pads and wavering synths. Understated hi-hats and a determined kick drum match with galloping elements, making this opener a solid peak-time pursuit. Dynamic and energetic without being overstated, Lokier produces a seamless track that starts as a meek series of chords and ends in a ferocious triumph.

Far heavier and darker than the opener is “Dimension”. This raucous cut bridges the gap between techno and electro, with acid dripped notes and keys that twinkle and echo menacingly. A heaving kick drum and baseline are determined to bring an ominous energy to the forefront while maintaining the fierceness of the initial elements. Without any respite, the track determinedly drives on and commands you to move right up until the final kick.

“Call Me” is the final journey on this record, utilising razor sharp synths and ridged hi-hats. A techno charger from the jump, it's the perfect mid set dynamo, bursting with energy and raw, unbridled power. A pummeling kick drum sets the pace with a moody baseline and crashing cymbals bringing a more rounded texture. Ethereal synth notes duet the deep, grungy synths that expertly balances the mood while alarm bells ring overhead.

01: Fidget
02: Confusion
03: Destroy DNA

The Glaswegian producer will contribute another EP to Second State this Autumn, cementing his place as a regular contributor on the Berlin label. ‘Confusion’ EP contains three warped, high-energy cuts from McKay, a style that has grown synonymous with his name in the techno world.

First track ‘Fidget’ opens heavy on the bass with a chopped up vocal loop that builds and gives way to clacking percussion. He switches up pitch and effects throughout to build intensity, letting all elements crash over each other at intervals. There’s a chugging vibe to the cut, with a pulsating bassline that creates serious depth. The sample orbits repeatedly, with the interruption of a sharper vocal slicing across and layering upon itself.

Next up is ‘Confusion’, skipping forward with vigor and volatile keys. Bustling arrangements charge the energy of the track with relentless hi-hats creating a tense and anxious mood. The booming kick drum echoes ferociously throughout whilst twisted melodies writhe and build, at moments drenched in distortion. Listeners are left unknowing of what’s to come as the relentless kick is halted by momentary breaks and turns.

Rounding off is club primed cut ‘Destroy DNA’. Similarly to the previous track, the direction is switched up at any moment. Airy pads create a celestial feeling that maintains a lightness despite the heavy kick. They phase in and out throughout to let key arrangements shine through, adding a harder but grooving effect to the pad-heavy journey.

"go down the drain of your void
see what you find and if you like it

walk on the edge of the cliff
feel the fear of slipping

we are all estranged to stability
if we listen openly

while we are seeking intimacy,
we must keep falling"

conceived right on the dancefloor of a club in Berlin, 'playing with the void' EP blends hypnotic techno with surrealism. the space created and held by this music connects directly with the feeling of void that humankind feels within; when we let ourselves explore the deep realms of our emotions

Talk To Me (LIVE Techno Breathwork In Berlin)

Premiere: End Train (feat. Joseph!) - Talk To Me (LIVE Techno Breathwork In Berlin) [BODYCLOCK002]

Ewige Nacht - Der Verfall (Preview)

First issued in 1998 on Superstition Records, Oliver Lieb’s L.S.G. project distilled late-’90s Frankfurt techno/trance into sleek, tightly engineered club tools with arc and atmosphere. The Black Album: The Vinyl Mixes (Remastered) presents the unmixed, original vinyl versions—newly remastered by Lieb—to foreground the detail in his drum programming, weight in the low end and the aerodynamic synth work that made these tracks DJ staples. Across nine pieces you move from the brooding momentum of “The Train Of Thought 1.1” and the nimble pulse of “Go Fishing” to the sinewy churn of “Cellular,” the pressure-valve release of “The Blaxone” and “Rotation,” the taut tension of “88” and “Freakz,” and the endorphin lift of “Hellfire” and “Deep Blue.” L.S.G.’s reputation for trance without cliché has been noted for decades. Lieb’s own note on the remastering underlines the intent: fed “through the finest analogue gear… tweaked to make it sound up to date while the music still is timeless.”

Hydraulix 92 - D.A.V.E. the Drummer - Sample Jacking

What does techno look like in its purest form? Clear in its structure. Credible in its message. With an insistent beat in the background. With its heart in the right place. And its melody in the tips of the never-ending goosebumps.Those who know, are aware of that. Those who can, do it. At Complexed Records they've only been doing just that since 2014. But they do it with a sound that embodies such determination that it could just as well come from the good old days in the beginning. That's primarily down to label boss Drumcomplex, who in this short period and with very few artists has established a reputation that has projected virtually every new release into the playlists of the major players. And in the process he and his label have themselves grown to become a major force.It's as if Complexed Records hit the nerve of an age which was not openly calling out for a powerful breath of techno past, yet still seems relieved to hear it. Or rather, to absorb it. Who would have thought a few years ago that once again a new techno label would be established and experience such a meteoric rise. But let's leave the past in peace. Let's look to the future. A glittering future with packed dance floors, on which visionaries once again celebrate music as a unifying element as they dance together into the early hours, with gratified smiles on their faces. And the sound they're dancing to? Complexed Records. Modern Future Techno.
