With the comeback of his moniker, Polyvinyl, UMEK goes back to his hardgroove origins. In addition, he is starting a new record label called 1605 GrooveSector, which will specialise in raw techno and hardgroove.

Slovenian-born UMEK has a career that dates back to the 1990s, when he was among the musicians that helped create and pioneer the first hardgroove movement. His iconic Recycled Loops project produced a number of groundbreaking songs that shaped the modern genre.

UMEK’s music has changed throughout the course of his three-decade career to reflect contemporary styles, and he has continued to be one of the most significant techno artists. His career is coming full circle with the return of the Polyvinyl pseudonym, and he is once again embracing the improvisational production style that once brought him international recognition.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the title track “Mechanically Intensive” with a rolling bassline and filtered percussion. Jerking synth stabs are added to boost the offbeat energy, but it’s the timeless, tribal and schranz-like rhythms that create the throwback, dance floor burning sound.

Voices From the Lake, Minilogue, Svreca, Tensal, Echologist (Brendon Moeller), Cassegrain, and many others have contributed to the Rome-based label Concrete Records. The limited vinyl offshoot has had many releases have been repressed due to their demand, and there is a sense that the newest EP Low Mileage may follow suit.

Featuring one of the prominent figures in the Finnish techno scene, Samuli Kemppi has released his music on quality labels like Berghain’s Ostgut Ton, Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver, Arnaud Le Texier’s Children of Tomorrow, Lewis Fautzi’s Faut Section, and the renowned M_REC LTD founded by the late Max_M. He is also the co-host of the esteemed radio program Deep Space Helsinki with Juho Kusti which has run for more than 15 years.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the first track “Looking for a Way Out” with its gritty and raw sound. Bubbling modular elements are met with fizzing percussion that create waves of analogue distortion and tension that can be rarely matched.

Less is More is a minimalist meditation in sound, a track that embraces restraint to reveal depth. Inspired by the philosophy that simplicity can be powerful, it unfolds through subtle textures, hypnotic repetition, and carefully placed silence.
Built on warm, immersive synth layers and stripped-down rhythmic elements, the track creates space for introspection. The harmonic structure leans into minor tonalities, evoking a quiet tension that never fully resolves, inviting the listener to linger in the moment.
Every sound is intentional. Every pause, meaningful. Best experienced in solitude, with headphones. 
Enjoy ;)

Kosh joins Craigie Knowes for his label debut record ‘Back on Track’. Kosh delivers 4 tracks packed to the brim with Detroit heritage merged with his own original style and signature Casablanca take on the origins of house, techno and the space between. Title track ‘Back on Track’ is an ever-building acid-journey guaranteed to rock in the clubs.

‘Breaksit’ gives us a chance to breathe as we embark on a trip that melds the signature Kosh and Craigie Knowes sounds into a pure and emotive composition. ‘Ridge Racer’ returns us to our feet with bounce, rhythm and octave changes to elevate your next DJ-set. ‘Digital Dilemma’ takes us from North Africa across the Atlantic to the Motor City and reminds us of everything we love about club-focussed, Detroit inspired, techno.

It’s pure Kosh and it’s pure Craigie Knowes, enjoy!

PREMIERE: Kosh - Back On Track

Afterwork is pleased to announce the release of our third EP, Neutral, available on September 15, 2025.

This release comes from Sebastián, known artistically as Nøctem, a Colombian DJ and producer based in Barcelona. With a deeply personal approach and refined production, Neutral is a testament to the artist's talent and sonic evolution.

Across six tracks, Nøctem guides us on an immersive journey where hypnotic techno and dynamic grooves converge with soundscapes that evoke both euphoria and nostalgia. Each track is designed to progressively release energy, creating a sonic narrative that captivates from the first moment.

This EP is a clear example of Nøctem's vision and the spirit that defines Afterwork: music with identity, depth, and purpose.

International Deejay Gigolo Records, founded by DJ Hell in Munich in the late ’90s, is one of the most influential labels bridging techno, electro, and new wave. Known for its bold aesthetic and boundary-pushing sound, the label has featured key artists such as Jeff Mills, Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Tiga, David Carretta, and Vitalic, helping define the electroclash movement and it continues to evolve modern electronic music culture.

Andrew Red Hand delivers his original work that is simply a love letter to analogue creation, capturing machine-driven sounds with twitchy melody and mesmeric dance floor appeal. His diverse back catalogue lists music on Lobster Theremin, 10 Pills Mate, Detroit Underground, Chiwax, and Diffuse Reality.

Remixer and Gigolo label head, DJ Hell, is a German electronic music pioneer with avant-garde flair. A defining figure in global club culture, his sound and vision continue to influence generations of artists from releases on R&S Records, Disko B, Datapunk, Science Cult, and many more.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the remix of "Gritty Bass" which is considered by DJ Hell as one of the most innovative techno tracks of 2025. He transforms it into a sleek machine of rhythm and tension - analog grit meets cybernetic groove. The remix dives deep into metallic basslines, hypnotic sequences, and dark energy built for the after-hours. A fusion of Detroit spirit and future techno attitude - raw, relentless and magnetic.
