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.

We’re celebrating a Fckng decade! German techno label Fckng Serious is turning 10 this August - and to mark the occasion, we’re releasing a very special EP unlike anything the label has done before.
6 artists, 3 tracks, 1 compilation EP. We had some fun and let the dice decide: our “Compilation Dice Roll” created three unique pairings and three brand-new tracks that couldn’t be more Fckng Serious. Ann Clue & Moritz Hofbauer - CPU Goes Wrong, Deniz Bul & Julian Wassermann - Code and Boris Brejcha & Frieder & Jakob - +100
Back in 2015, Boris Brejcha had a vision: to build a label where music is released exactly how the artist wants - no compromises. From day one, close friends Ann Clue, Deniz Bul, and duo Theydream were part of the label, shaping the Fckng Serious vibe with their music and crew spirit. Over time, the roster grew: Moritz joined in 2020, Frieder & Jakob in 2023, and in 2024, Julian Wassermann started releasing exclusively with the label. Fckng Serious has never been about one genre - it represents a broad range of electronic music.
Fun has always been the top priority. It’s not just about the sound - the crew energy is at the core. Over the last ten years, the label has grown into a major player with global releases, unique events, and its own merchandise line for fans around the world.
The label and its artists have evolved - and there’s still so much to come. Boris Brejcha and the whole Fckng Serious team have big plans for the future.

–
In Soft Power, Funk Assault turns their surgical precision toward the invisible forces that shape modern life - control not through force, but through aesthetics, etiquette, and algorithms. Across five tightly woven tracks, the duo dissects how obedience is engineered through desire, conformity, and digital seduction.

From the sterile luxury of Aesthetics of Desire to the algorithmic exhibitionism of Like Me, Watch Me, and the chilling calm of Obedience Spa, this EP is a reflection on how control has evolved -smoother, quieter, but no less powerful. Soft Power invites listeners to dance, reflect, and perhaps notice the strings they didn’t know were there.

Diffuse Reality is a label with international presence from Europe to South America, and with over a decade of releases now in tow, has featured artists such as Electric Indigo, Terence Fixmer, Stanislav Tolkachev, Sunil Sharpe, and Arnaud Le Texier.

LSWD is a Tunisian artist returning to Diffuse Reality with his second ever EP release, meaning he has only exclusively released on the imprint thus far, and we are keen to hear more works in the future as he establishes his back catalogue.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Got to Learn" with a rolling and jackin' sound. The electrifying textures pierce the airwaves with a gritty, bending feeling, while the dancing synth notes create a moody vibe amidst lots of atmospheric elements in this raw, uptempo jam.

Oscar Mulero is known for his standout cyclical sound and running the PoleGroup and Warm Up imprints as well as contributing to influential labels like Kr!z’s Token and P.E.A.R.L.’s Falling Ethics.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Caronte" that's heady and twisted modular session. Bursts of frantic percussion combines with a clashing, bleeping symphony of analogue signals and sirens for an intense session with raw tool-like sound.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Caronte" .

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.
