Not much time after his previous release, Joel Bird has changed the direction of his techno again. This time he wanted to truly anchor the core feeling of techno: the frequencies. This is all about the emotions and primal feelings we get when we hear techno, especially live. It is about the goosebumps and melancholy that shoots through us when we look back on a rave, and the powerful sensation of us experiencing that memory once again. Still including his signature acid lines and cutting edge drum grooves, Joel has put together a track that has encapsulated the passion and intensity of the music genre we love. He still can’t wait to continue spreading positivity through music, and including others in the group spirit of techno.

[PREMIERE] Joel Bird - Vibrations

Release date (vinyl & digital): 10th of March 

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album 'Frames Of Reference' on Token last fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor ("a display of real power and finesse" 4/5), in DJmag ("a calculated masterpiece" 9,5/10), at XLR8R ("sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal" 8/10), Groove Magazine ("pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits") and more.

Following the first single “On The Edge / Perplexed” & the second single “Dirtro II” (including the stellar ‘New Device Remix’ by Robert Hood), we now present you the last segment of the series with 2 remixes. On the A-side Rødhåd delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single ‘Perplexed’, while Robert Hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on “Dirtro II” for the flip.

Ø [Phase]- Perplexed (Rødhåd's Extended Mix)

"Search & Destroy" by HAYMUS is a hard-hitting fusion of acid techno and industrial grit. With its signature acid sequences and driving, relentless bass, the track delivers a powerful sense of urgency. Designed for peak-time destruction, it’s an electrifying call to arms for anyone who thrives on heavy, hypnotic beats.

The hard kicks were kickin’ in Haymus’s ears since he was a kid. After conquering many stages in Israel, Cyprus and Spain, the next step is to share the hardcore beats to the world so everyone enjoy. Spread positivity.

[PREMIERE] HAYMUS - Search & Destroy

Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.

"To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I've been involved with it for a really long time and there's a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked "what is techno to you?" but I can't answer that with words; this album is the answer."

From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. 

Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.

Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil's creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.

This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn't preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year's synthesiser expos.

"For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I'm] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past."

This philosophy of 'time travel' is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

Surgeon - Forgotten Gods

Production @ Obsolete Culture
Mastering @ Mattias Fridell

06 Computer Controlled

Industrial, 150 BPM, ambient, indarkstrial, techno

Based on a dream last summer, this track consists of harder kicks, haunting ambience with a combination of screechy high pitch noises. A dream involved with a spiritual warfare, this track describes the telling of that dream and a reminder that there are forces at work. The dreams we have are often depicted on what we're facing in life but also revealing what is happening spiritually.

PREMIERE: 1LINE & Blake Light - Volume [Astral]

With the EP Flärd APOKOLLAPS presents you with two schmaltzy serenades for the frantic and furious. Faskalas, being the more tuneful of the two, balances its main melody between glitchy disruptions, driven forward by an unfaltering rhythm, while Farlig Fallbila works itself through all the machinery the factory has to offer.

APOKOLLAPS is a Finnish producer with a fondness for the industrial. This comes across in her tracks through harsh rhythms, distorted synths and a seemingly endless arsenal of mangled melodies from power tools, engines and metallic bodies which when combined act as a business card for her characteristic sound.

[PREMIERE] APOKOLLAPS - Farlig Fallbila

PETRU KSS – Drifting Embers EP

Unleash your wildest flame.

Drifting Embers is PETRU’s latest release: a hypnotic, mysterious techno journey into the night, capturing the moment we become night creatures, unleashing our untamed spirit as dusk settles, evoking fleeting bursts of light breaking away from the flames, racing into the open night.

Driving acid lines and grounding bass, the main title brings confidence to the dancefloor while 90s-inspired chords trigger raver’s trance-like state balancing darkness with playfulness.

On remix duty, techno veteran Alexander Kowalski delivers a fresh, dark but hopeful rework rich in texture and dynamic tension; while Ross Harper flips the energy with a playful, 909-driven remix that infuses the track with happy-crazy vibes and infectious rhythms.

Closing the EP, Prelude to Embers offers a cinematic, atmospheric journey perfect for reflection, while Drone to Embers provides a meditative soundscape for deep introspection.

For those who seek techno with mystery, movement, and untamed freedom.

Out on City Wall Records.

PETRU is a Corsican-born producer and live performer with a love for bold, driving techno and storytelling. Blending rhythmic precision with a strong sense of narrative and contrast, his music evokes both physical intensity and cinematic depth.

Rooted in hands-on, expressive, hardware-centric production, PETRU was awarded with the Richie Hawtin PhD Scholarship in Electronic Music for his ongoing research into real-time and improvisational performance.

After drawing attention with his debut KSS EP, PETRU released Mirage EP (City Wall Records) and Mediocracy EP (Kolibri Space Shuttle Records), both receiving great acclaim. His new release, Drifting Embers EP, directly continues the Mirage series with a hypnotic and mysterious take on techno that explores untamed freedom at dusk.
