Acid Temple Mix II

I'm elated to welcome Hamburg's Space Drum Meditation to the series, whose gorgeous productions channel intricate, percussive techno while drawing cues from hazy, left-field psychedelia. Glowing at the edges, this thunderous and fiercely effective set from the duo occupies spirited territory and moves at steady pace, daring the sun to rise, compelling our bodies to flutter.

Nigh/T\mare - NovaFuture Blog Mix April 2025

Öspiel is the 440th guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

A deep dive into the mind of Öspiel: this recording captures a raw and uncompromising live session, sculpted including some of his yet unreleased material and sound design experiments. Driven by razor-sharp loops and a restrained cinematic tension, the set unfolds with a sense of eerie precision — mechanical yet emotional, forceful yet controlled. Ferocity, grain, and hypnosis converge into an intense narrative that pushes the dancefloor into a mental space where instinct meets abstraction.

It’s techno as architecture — constructed, deconstructed, and rebuilt in real time—a dense, unrelenting journey through Öspiel’s evolving sonic landscape.

DROOGS017 makes its return with a 12" courtesy of Quartz in the form of a razor-sharp two-tracker, showcasing his trademark precision and stripped-back engineering.

The A-side, “Duplicity,” is a masterclass in minimalism cold, skeletal, and immersive, driven by tight basslines and subtle rhythmic shifts. Quartz proves that less truly can hit harder.

On the flip, “Black Prism” a collaboration with Overlook dives into raw ’90s techstep territory. Choppy breaks and haunting stabs build relentless pressure before giving way to a surprisingly blissful finale.

Quartz continues to cement his reputation as one of drum & bass’s most distinctive modern voices.

A surprising collaboration between Mannella and the UK Techno’s bearer - Blawan- that clearly establish a deep Techno-Space, where the quirky sounds are free to be developed and created.
Right from the very first second of “The Dark Breeze”, which spreads a fluid, echoing and fickle synth, we can hear those “fuzzy noises” that Mannella loves to use. A perfect combo is given by the presence of intense drums, thorough pads and harped synths: a total head-trip that flows in the whole EP.
Then, with “I know you are” a cheerful air gain the upper hand, leading it to be the perfect dance floor track.
Even if it’s just the second release, it’s pretty explicit the aim that the label has come to play in music today.

Ellen Allien emits a powerful ​AURAA​ on new LP.

Ellen Allien - one of Berlin’s most ardent techno ambassadors - proudly unveils her latest full-length expedition into the realms of underground electronica. Brimming with creative energy, Ellen’s new LP AURAA follows her 2019 release Alientronic, and is her third album in three years. Raw, emotive and capable of transporting you from reality to an electrofied fantasy, AURAA explores the notion of unseen energies controlling our planet.

Beginning with the faintest hint of trance euphoria on the downtempo ‘Hello Planet Earth (Breath Mix)’, the album soon moves into more bumpin’ territory with ‘In Music I Trust’ - Ellen’s signature use of vocals-as-melody entrancing the listener. ‘Walking In The Dark’ takes things up a notch further with jabbing percussion and mesmerising atmospherics, followed by ‘Confusion’, a masterclass in heady hypnotic composition. ‘Human’ is a deeply affecting beatless segue with its drone-esque soundscape. ‘True Romantics’ taps into your emotional centre utilising hard beats and wistful synth lines. Lastly, ‘Traum’ (Dream in English) takes us out of our bodies and into the infinite realm of vibration, as waves of beautifully composed pads and bubbling analogue bass encourage us to transcend into the next astral plane.
