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.

Spencer Hardwick, a Portland-based musician, has launched a new underground techno label called VAST. It will feature a variety of up-and-coming American artists as well as others, emphasising raw, hypnotic sounds with analogue characteristics, modular sounds, and imaginative ideas.

Sleepy Cat is a well-known DJ and producer in the underground club scene in Los Angeles. He has a varied approach and has made an impact with his visceral live recordings and dramatic, immersive hardware performances. After appearing on Secus’ Rituals and Orly Gal’s Hidden Symbols, this release titled Modality highlights a cerebral and mesmerising aspect of his sound.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the track “Isolate” with a broken beat and intoxicating atmosphere. Swirling, analogue textures combine with a bold kick drum that increases the pressure to a euphoric breakdown of space and respite before launching into another wave of dystopian cinematics.

Sleepy Cat - Modality (Secus Remix) [VAST Recordings]

In its sophomore release, VAST Recordings explores the hypnotic depths of techno with the help of Los Angeles artist Sleepy Cat. Modality explores the myriad states of human consciousness through five original tracks and two remixes by respected luminaries Declan James and Secus.

Opening the effort is “Universal Harmonics,” a sonic collage of disparate elements that combine to yield a whole greater than the sum of their parts. It kicks off Modality with a timely reminder that techno is an exercise in exploring new possibilities.

“Observation” builds on this sentiment. Without so much as a kickdrum for much of its arrangement, this highly cerebral cut gives weight to the notion that techno need not follow the standard eight-bar formula.

Up next is “Isolate.” This sublime slice of dance floor psychedelia sees Sleepy Cat opt for unorthodox methods without eschewing the fundamental building blocks of techno. On remixing duties is Declan James, whose equally industrial-influenced rendition of the source material incorporates resonant tones reminiscent of Tibetan singing bowls.

“Reconnect” burns slowly and rewards the patient listener, its synth lead warping as it seems to unwind throughout the track’s nearly six-minute runtime. While arguably the most functional track of the effort, it challenges the ear with corrosive textures a la musique concrète.

The title track, whose veil of subtle Foley effects is pierced in intermittent bursts by the distant clang of percussive hits. Secus reimagines “Modality” as a peak-time weapon, trading its vacant atmospheres for more urgent sound design elements accented by what sound like the battle alarms of an otherworldly vessel.

Modality by Sleepy Cat’s is a perfect fit for VAST Recordings. In its crucial second release, the fledgling imprint proves itself capable of singing more than one proverbial tune without straying too far from the sound that has already captured the attention of artists like DJ Stingray, Wata Igarashi, and Charlotte De Witte. The reason is clear: VAST is rapidly proving itself as an emergent leader in modern techno.

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.

Alex Niggemann’s AEON label mirrors the peak time DJs sets that the supremely talented Berliner plays, staying focused on conjuring up the spirit of classic and timeless house and techno, updating it and creating new boundless possibilities for the future.

The teasing, tension-building energy of the super- smooth “Stellar”, bears all the hallmarks of an artist who is at the top of his game. Alex Niggemann is a master of capturing and encompassing elements of darkness, mystery and uplifting melancholic beauty in his subtle and spacious creations. There aren’t enough cutting- edge artists out there who are bold enough to breathe life into their productions with true emotion. “Asterism” steers an equally subtle melancholic path, before morphing into a stunning rollercoaster ride of a track, firing with exuberant, emotive energy and desire. To complete this package, “Asterism” is treated to a remix from the uninhibited perspectives of Belgium’s exceptional rising star and kindred spirit, Locked Groove.

For those people with open minds and open ears, electronic music doesn’t really have borders – blurring the boundaries between house and techno is a given – creativity and experimentation without restrictions and
expectations is what allows artists to make exceptional music that becomes timeless and treasured.

AEON references back to Alex Niggeman’s roots – the music which inspired him to start his career as a DJ and producer – and was created as a platform to release music that stands for quality and originality. Music that fits perfectly into peak-time sets, without being too obvious, without being just functional, with multiple musical dimensions. The “Stellar EP” is the next outstanding instalment.

Sweden-based Bond has primarily been an outlet for its bossman’s new material, but also lists a release by Manic Brothers. Delivering the newest EP titled Before the After, Petter B returns with more top tracks.

Featuring on remix duty, Arjun Vagale is one of India’s biggest techno stars and an advocate for the emerging techno scene and frequently performs internationally. He runs the AsymetriK label and Odd Recordings, with a lengthy history of releasing a wide range of music that includes London’s fabric, Pfirter’s MindTrip, Svreca’s Semantica, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, and Stephan Bodzin’s Herzblut.

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.

This is the second release by Mark Deutsche & Musoé on Noir Music and a great follow up to their techno stomper “Push”. On “Express Yourself” the German guys have teamed up with Xenia Beliayeva who wrote and performed some lush vocals on top of the duo's hypnotic techno vibes. The outcome is an addictive journey that will have any techno crowd go crazy.

Both Andre Winter and Ernesto Ferreyra has poured their excellent production skills all over the release and made unique remixes of this beast. Andre Winter sticks to his solid techno vibes and his rock-solid sound known from Ideal Audio and Senso Sounds.
Ernesto Ferreyra cleverly turns the journey a lot deeper, layered and dubby spaced out.

It's been 10 years since their last release on 20/20 Vision, but it is with great excitement that we welcome Spirit Catcher back to the label with their aptly named Blast From The Past EP! 

As one of the corner stones of 20/20, their early singles and album are legendary label artefacts and these guys were total pioneers of the cosmic, disco infused house sound which then became prominent in following years. 

Blast From The Past has been getting heavy rotation in Ralph Lawson's sets over the summer and so we're really glad to finally see it reach the light of day. This one is a trip into hyperspace with cosmic synth pulses leading the way before a killer bass line takes you track straight to planet Spirit Catcher! 

On the flip Closer takes the trip further with more expert bass hooks being joined by vox pads and otherwordly fx. The EP is finished off with Routing Madness, a homeage to the duos love for analogue studio gear which you can hear in the intricate synth patterns which pop and weave through the tracks duration. 

Blast From The Past is out 18th January.

André Winter has been working under various collaborative pseudonyms and diverse aliases while shaping the sound of today's club scene. Since starting to release under his own name in 2005, Winter has found regular homes on Ideal Audio and now Senso Sounds. Delivering a double header on this release, Winter proves he remains ahead of the pack. 'Cascadeur' is a techno bomb - deep and driving with plenty of attitude. The thick bass tones rumble through the track, while a trippy vocal adds another dimension for the dancers. 'Fléaux' is cut from the same cloth - a companion piece to 'Cascadeur' that uses the same sound palette to create another twist on Winter’s blueprint. Both tracks are set to cause serious disturbance in basements and main rooms throughout the year.
