Raffaele Attanasio is an influential artist who lists contributions to Jeff Mills’ Axis, Bas Mooy’s Mord, SHDW’s Mutual Rytm, and Dax J’s Monnom Black, amongst others of a high calibre. His varied production styles can revolve around deep vibes, acid hooks, hardgroove influences, EBM, and beyond, always showing strength, versatility and nous for concocting notable techno in all its forms.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the track “Straight Walking” with a full throttle feeling wrapped up in an overall deeper sound. Rolling, gritty percussion is highlighted with spacey chords and phasing elements to create a colossal dance floor cut.

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.

For this DT:Premiere we selected his remix of the title track “Before the After” with a crunchy and driving sound. Analogue textures bend and bounce over the pumping low-end culminating in the breakdown’s tremendous tension, before the relaunch of high-octane energy and dynamic power.
