NECH031 marks the debut EP from Fran LF on NECHTO, presenting five tracks that trace a personal and stylistic journey. Built around raw, percussive momentum, the record moves between minimalistic rhythms, faster grooves, and brighter, more melodic moods—reflecting the artist’s range and growth.

Crafted with guidance from label head Nastia, the release pushed Fran LF to explore new directions and refine his sound. The result is a versatile and dynamic EP that captures both evolution and energy in equal measure.

NECHTO Premiere | Fran LF - Mantis [NECH031]

CVNSUMED is a new character in the game, who you may associate with his previous alias NN, under which he oriented his output to the harder strains of electronic music. His debut in this new incarnation can be read as a conceptual piece, in which even remixes are blended into the narrative in an unusual way.

We dive deep into stuffy, rushing productions with a right dose of spaciousness. All the material is a perfect expression of KYSH's style. Take the highlights – “Mugen” for timeless elegant techno sound or “Gyomatsu” for driving drum machinery and beautiful string motifs. After the oneiric “Togyo” remix coming from BENZA, the subsequent remixes from Sicion and Sept only add to the quality. This EP takes you to atmogroove heaven leaving a taste of precise contemporary sound.

After turning heads with Back2, BENZA is back on Smile Sessions with his first vinyl release: Dancefloor Oriented. True to its name, this EP is built for the club, packed with raw grooves, warm textures, and those cheeky vocal chops that bring real character to his sound.

Over the years, BENZA has carved out a style of his own, a mix of mechanical rhythms and organic elements that always hit the sweet spot. Each track stands on its own, but together they tell a full story, deeply rooted in groove, always pushing forward.

The record also features two remixes, one from rising techno talent Toobris with a darker twist, and one from label boss JKS, bringing his signature punch.

Flug - The Collection Quartz [QRZ LP001]

Having carved out a lane truly his own in the often harshly competitive world of techno, Argentinian-born / Barcelona-based producer Sebastian Lopez, alias Flug, has long proven to be no bit player in the scene and his compositions have kept signalling a fighting fit producer, whose highest standards of floor skippering and experimentation-friendly approach have never failed him over the years. Resurfacing three years after the drop of his debut vinyl album, 'In Safe Hiding', Flug clocks in on Quartz Rec with 'Flug I - The Collection' - a long-player bound to reconnect fully with the club and produce very energetic tracks that represent the techno he loves playing during his DJ sets. All tracks were originally written on tour, on the plane or in hotel rooms to better capture the dancefloor's vibe, using field recordings from around the globe and later processed in the studio via his analogue arsenal of preference.
 
Displaying the many octaves of his craft through great spreads of high-impact club engineering and frenzy-whipping mechanics, Flug takes us on a pulsating ride across the history of dance music - taking cues from Detroit's own cosmo-telluric tramplers from back the Underground Resistance armada's heyday, the Roman scene's classic acidulous four-to-the-floors, Berlin's big-room-busting DNA, dredged with a hint of dubby exploratory manoeuvres a la Maurizio. Both mineral in strength but liquid in its flowing abilities, Lopez's newest extension into the deep and intricate realms of club music collages without pastiching, extracts without bleeding dry, forming the backbone to an assortment of cuts that shall awake the restless dancer in you with optimal effect.
 
If tracks like the lushly verbed-out 'Ephos' and 'Sequences From The Black Basement' perhaps best define the track collection's overall headspace, merging Flug's trademark melodic shine with further obliterating rhythms that are sure to lay absolute waste in their wake, others like 'Mars' and 'Hyperventilation' go straight for the jugular with their deadly mix of paced-up martial rhythmics and elliptical grooves gone amok. Just as easy steering the focus into further leftfield-friendly horizons, like on the droney 'Ratio', via the freaky acid-popping of 'Box In A Box' and ambitious width of scope of 'A Different Choice', Lopez delivers something of a life-affirming message with this choice selection of club-oriented delicacies; drawing as much inspiration and energy from the dancefloors Flug got to become intimate with, as he intends to reflect such inspirational forces and energies across the rooms.
