DifferentSound Premiere // SHDW & Obscure Shape

SHDW & Obscure Shape are back with their second EP for 2023, following their debut release on their mothership label From Another Mind. The German duo's latest release, 'Basic Instinct', is a collection of five dancefloor anthems that provide the perfect soundtrack for any moment in a set. The EP features their signature die-cut cover and includes a digital bonus track.

'Basic Instinct' is the 12th installment of their Mutual Rytm label and showcases the pair's exceptional production skills and innovative approach to electronic music, with a mix of old and new school flavors, vivid drum programming, organic percussion and captivating melodic elements. The A-side kicks off with their signature track
'Eraser', which blends crisp drums with warm sub-bass and piercing synth stabs. "Dancer in the Dark" takes a deeper dive into late-night territory, combining lush dub-influenced synths with a rolling acid bassline. "Disturbing Behaviour" closes the A-side and shows why the 303 has become an iconic tool for producers. Despite the sirens dominating around the breakdowns, the simple two-tone acid stab is the defining element of the track, complemented by amen-break leaning drums that hint at a UK rave direction.

The B-side goes in a different direction, with 'Memories of Nobody' taking a filtered and less aggressive approach, as echoing dub pads gather around a growling bassline and kick drum combination, topped off by brushed hats. The EP concludes with 'The Last Seduction', a track that reveals the full organic breadth of the previously hinted at Amen break. The fusion of said amen break with the warmth and
familiarity of waxing and waning pads is reminiscent of the golden days of electronic music.

With its expertly crafted soundscapes and diverse range of styles, 'Basic Instinct' is yet another stunning release from SHDW & Obscure Shape, to be released on 5 May 2023.

DifferentSound Premiere // Danny Wabbit

ONI is happy to present it's new Y series which is going to mainly focus on the 90's to early 00's Techno era.

The series will be an outlet for label head Danny Wabbit to showcase his productions inspired by the Y generation.

The first track, "Don't F*** With My Energy," is a high-energy anthem that combines driving percussion, distorted Acid lines, and a powerful vocal sample. It embodies the fierce independence and resilience that characterized the early techno era.

The second track, "Gotta Kill Bill," is a nod to the iconic martial arts film and its soundtrack. Its intense bassline, sharp hi-hats, and eerie synth create a tense and suspenseful atmosphere, this track showcases the influence of soundtrack music on early techno.

The final track, "Pacer," is a homage to the futuristic sounds of the early 90s. Its hypnotic synth, swirling pads, and pounding beat create a pulsating energy that transports listeners to another dimension. This track shows how early techno was deeply influenced by futurism.

DifferentSound Premiere // Chlär

Mutual Rytm welcomes back Swiss DJ/producer Chlär for a bustling, high-octane return as he unveils his latest six-track EP, ‘Intrinsic Drive’.

Swiss artist and mastering engineer Chlär’s last outing on Mutual Rytm, his ‘Optimized Grooves’ EP, was a stand- out success that made an impact far and wide across the techno realm. It was another big step for the fast-rising producer, who is also a dexterous DJ that plays across three and even four decks in the club. A craftsman of sounds, his take on techno is full throttle and has come on labels like Iceland’s NIX and Stranger’s Self Reflektion imprint. Always looking to improve his sounds, he hits a perfect sweet spot with a fresh and visionary approach across six fresh productions with his ‘Intrinsic Drive’ EP, again showcasing exemplary creative progression in his ever-impressing production skills.

Up first is ‘Dopamine Rush’, a quickened techno pumper with synths peeling off the straight-ahead drums and locking you into a state of hypnosis. The title track ‘Intrinsic Drive’ is a tightly woven mix of drums, hits and bass that never lets up, while the supple rhythm is overlaid with alien sound designs to up the intensity. ‘For Marco’ takes a heavier path with darkened and more weighty kick drums under eerie synth loops. There is a real swing in the drums of ‘Steady Pace’ as the crisp hits and vocal fragments all up the ante, before ‘Greedy Man’ delivers a tough panel beater with skewed synths and an industrial undertone. Digital bonus ‘May I Dance?’ rounds things out with raw textures and unhinged loops that take you to the heart of a strobe-lit dance floor, shaping up another mighty fine statement of intent from the ever more vital Swiss native.

Chlär ‘Intrinsic Drive’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 4th August 2023.

SHDW’s label, Mutual Rytm hits a notable milestone at the start of 2024 as it turns two years old and hits its 20th release. To mark the occasion, the carefully curated compilation ‘Federation Of Rytm III’ arrives on February 2nd with a 30-track 5 x 12" boxset vinyl release and a further 6 digital bonus tracks.

Mutual Rytm is synonymous with serious, no-frills techno. It is a go-to for the world's most influential DJs and a home to some of the scene's most innovative producers. Over the last two years, it has explored several shades of sound, always with high-quality production and forward-thinking styles. A fine balance has always been struck between new and emerging talents and established names with plenty more to say, and that is the case on this collection which features the legendary likes of Blawan, Gary Beck, Colin Benders, The Advent and Dax J next to ANNĒ, Alarico, JakoJako, Chlär, LDS and many more.

Founder SHDW says, "I've poured my heart into curating a compilation of 36 tracks, a reflection of my deepest musical passions. The lineup is stacked with incredible artists, and it captures the label's essence - a fusion of artists spanning generations, united by a shared spirit and aesthetic, creating a seamless 'mutual rhythm'."

Although all 36 tracks stand alone as high-grade and club-ready dynamite, they also collectively form a versatile listening experience thanks to how they’ve been carefully assembled into a perfectly sequenced journey.

Each one dives into a different nuance within the world of techno and there is a range of moods from dark and driving to more energising and uplifting. The collection not only shows how far Mutual Rytm has come in a short space of time but also that it remains in a constant state of evolution and has a bright future ahead in 2024 and beyond.

SHDW’s vision at Mutual Rytm was always to present a cohesive yet varied musical experience, and Federation Of Rytm III does exactly that.

German duo Glaskin make their full EP debut on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint.

Glaskin is the alias of two brothers, Jonathan and Ferdinand, based in Munich. The pair have emerged as key figures in the city’s electronic music scene as longtime residents of the renowned Blitz Club, standing out a homegrown talents amongst its vibrant electronic landscape. Bringing a unique, forward-thinking techno style, as evidenced by their contributions to Mutual Rytm’s Federation Of Rytm II and III compilations in previous years, they now mark a new chapter and open 2025 in style with their debut 12” on the label, ‘Inertia Of Motion’. Each cut on the EP has been handcrafted with analogue gear, reflecting their distinctive artistic and sonic vision. The release is a direct outcome of the creative process behind their live set, which has become an integral part of the duo’s identity and shows a natural evolution of their singular sound.

‘Hush Up’ kicks things off with deep, rubbery and rolling techno rhythms. The drums are stripped back and laced with pulsing synth patterns and spoken word snippets that add a freaky edge. ‘Double Tap’ ups the anti with classic, pumping deep techno with smart filters adding movement to the track as urgent leads hurry onwards. ‘Inertia’ bring a more anxious atmosphere with tightly coiled drums and perc and eerie bell sounds ring out over the fat, twisted bassline. The brilliant ‘Tank’ brings mind-melting loopy techno with dubby chords and textured leads warming their way between the beats to great effect, while ‘Motion’ is suspenseful techno that locks you into a high-speed groove peppered with thumping hits and kicks. Last of all, digital bonus ‘Blushed Blue’ explores a moody, minimal, late-night techno sound that is warm, stylish and hypnotic to close the show.  

Glaskin ‘Inertia of Motion’ EP drops via Mutual Rytm on 7th February 2025.

We are ecstatic to have him back on the label as he has been making waves in the scene with his secret sauce of heavily danceable syncopated drums, infusing tribal techno with modern sound design and a no-nonsense, club-ready, approach.

Berlin's Scheermann debuts on Mutual Rytm with deeply personal EP, ‘Viciosa’.

Scheermann is at the heart of the Berlin underground as a DJ/producer, but also working behind the scenes at the Intakt Berlin vinyl pressing plant, where he first met Mutual Rytm founder SHDW. As a resident of the Lorem Ipsum party series, he delivers cultured and compelling grooves, and is also an active member of the Wesertekk collective - supporting and pushing club culture to the forefront in more rural areas. His music comes from a deeply personal place, never chasing hype or headlines, and is usually found at home on his own imprint, SAMMLER. This new EP marks his first appearance away from the label as he unveils a collection of records crafted over five years, with each track representing different moments in his life.

‘Viciosa’ kicks off with paranoid vocals panning about as swinging, warehouse-ready drums pound heavily below. The gritty synth craft adds plenty of texture as filters build the vibe. ‘Placid Sin’ is even more intense with unresolved synths tripping you in a loopy state while coarse percussion and cantering drums march on. ‘Don't Care’ is a rave- ready cut that injects your soul with urgent synth energy over more minimal and moody drums. ‘Kano’ brings a more elastic rhythm with dubby undercurrents and sleek sonar pulses infusing it with mystery, while ‘Reika’ is a nimble cut with icy hi hats and curious synth notes layering in late night suspense. First digital bonus 'Resoclap' is a heavyweight swinger with dark, groaning voices, before the second digital bonus ‘Mizu’ provides a speedy and supple workout for body and mind.

Scheermann ‘Viciosa’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 22nd August 2025.

Laster Records launches with a powerful VA featuring Alarico, Yanamaste, Chontane and Roll Dann Spanish's techno movement force Laster expands its vision with the launch of Laster Records, inaugurating the label with a fierce various artists EP forged for peak-time madness and emotional depth. The debut release, Laster Records VA001, brings together four essential voices in modern techno: Alarico, Yanamaste, Chontane and Roll Dann, each contributing a distinctive cut to a shared narrative of intensity and evolution. The A-side opens with Alarico’s “Of Which Sugars”, a gritty, percussive storm of fast-paced techno, where tension builds through syncopated rhythms and distorted grooves. Following is Yanamaste’s “Disconnection”, a cerebral track infused with cold atmospheres, broken patterns and a sense of controlled chaos — reflecting the Georgian artist’s unmistakable mental approach. On the flip, Chontane delivers “Palindrome”, a futuristic and dynamic tool with flickering synth stabs and machine funk energy. The EP closes with Roll Dann’s “The Red House”, a cinematic and melancholic trip through layered textures and deep basslines, paying homage to the label’s own mythology. Laster Records VA001 sets the tone for a label that, like its club roots, is raw, inclusive, and uncompromising. See you under the red light.

French talent Hyden makes label debut on Mutual Rytm with conceptual new techno EP, ‘To Whom It May Concern’.

Hyden is a potent force in the French underground, creating powerful techno with dense percussion, immersive grooves and subtle nods to classic influences — all through his own unique lens. Having delivered standout releases in recent years, here he offers up sounds “anchored in psychoanalysis, time, and emotional residue” as he makes his mark on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint, delivering influences of dream logic and surrealism as the palette moves between brutality and introspection. “It’s hypnotic music for moments of rupture where something breaks or breaks through”.

Opener ‘Manifest Content’ is inspired by Freudian theory and explores the surface illusions of thought and dream. It's about the dissonance between what we perceive and the deeper meaning that slips away beneath and is a deep and dubby techno track with flashes of unsettling melody. ‘Bruises’ is emotional trauma made sonic. This piece delves into invisible scars and traumas, residues of past conflict or intimacy - it's slow-burning, heavy and raw. ‘Jikan’ is a meditation built on time and its erosion. Inspired by the Japanese concept of impermanence, it reflects fleeting moments, decay and the tension between stillness and motion with jacked up but warm drums and turbulent bass.

Next, ‘Free Will’ is born from inner conflict and plays with deterministic rhythms and evolving layers, questioning whether we are truly in control or just passengers in a prewritten sequence. The vocal mentions, “creatures, you’re out of time” to bring darkness to the intense but sleek rhythms. The streamlined physicality of ‘Swarm’ channels the primal force of collective movement and is a nod to the loss of individuality in group behaviour.

In addition, the package is loaded with digital bonus cuts. ‘Yumehara’ is a dive into surreal dream-states and evokes subconscious landscapes where logic dissolves and emotion reigns, while ‘Lü Bu’ is brutal and warlike and named after the legendary Chinese general that captures impulsive violence, betrayal and reckless glory with relentless energy and rhythm. Lastly, ‘Neon Pale’ is a synthetic dreamscape about fading beauty under artificial light - a melancholy ode to cities at night and the loss of warmth in modern life.

Hyden ‘To Whom It May Concern’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 19th September 2025.

Her sets go far beyond mixing tracks — they are sonic journeys, unfolding like immersive narratives that draw listeners deep into altered states of perception. With layers of sunken reverbs, stripped-down Shackleton-esque textures, and cosmic machine whispers, Tamara sculpts an atmosphere that is both shadowy and luminous. Each performance is a daring exploration into the unknown, designed not to ask permission but to transport you into dimensions rarely visited.

Step into the world of Tamara — a place where sound blurs reality and rhythm bends perception. Her podcast unfolds as a hypnotic voyage: equal parts intensity and subtlety, darkness and light, each transition weaving a spell that draws you deeper. Expect sunken, atmospheric textures, spacious grooves, and cosmic layers that merge techno and trance into something uniquely her own. This isn’t just a mix — it’s a passage into mystery, crafted with elegance and intent.

Danny Wabbit returns to the forefront with Manic, a carefully crafted five track EP that serves as a visceral journey through the psychological spectrum of the dancefloor.

The EP opens with the unexpected: 'Fear Is Nothing But A Tool', a cinematic dubstep intro to set a dark, preparatory tone. It then ignites with the title track 'Manic', a hypnotic and powerful techno cut built to induce peak-time frenzy.

Stripping techno back to its raw essence, 'Severed' delivers a minimalist homage to the genre's warehouse roots. This raw intensity then gives way to the meditative groove of 'Breath Work', a track centered on calming, pulsating rhythms. The EP closes with the soulful and uplifting vibes of 'That One House Track', the perfect euphoric finale to a long night.

SHDW presents ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno. Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025.

The fourth edition of SHDW’s flagship ‘Federation Of Rytm’ VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/ producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether that's in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages.

"I’ve lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the label’s evolution and a glimpse of what’s next. ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish.” – SHDW.

Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

Frenzy opens a new chapter with the fourth installment of its VA series, balancing the pulse of the present with echoes of the past.

FRNZYVA004 spans twelve tracks across four sides, curated as a journey rather than a collection. A statement of community, continuity, and forward motion in sound.

The A-side sets the tone: Non-Cyclic’s magnetic opener and JSPRV35’s seismic drive lead into SERA J’s blend of analog warmth and future groove. The B-side dives deeper with William Arist’s shadowed mood, Flits’ surgical precision, and DJ Dextro’s radiant release.

Tension builds on the C-side through Tarkno’s layered pressure and Vinicius Honorio’s hypnotic storm, closing with Mees Javois’ raw, floor-born energy. The D-side resolves in power and emotion with Markantonio’s commanding weight, Sol Caballero’s spectral rhythms, and Isaiah’s cinematic finale, Dreams of Tomorrow.

Twelve artists. One vision. FRNZYVA004 reaffirms Frenzy’s role as a label and movement shaping the sound of tomorrow.

Templum welcomes Kansas City’s Uun to the roster. Known for what Hardwax has dubbed “straight ahead techno juggernauts,” he takes it to the next level here, infusing all four of the selections on this record with futuristic punctuation and deep, alien texture. The EP opens with “Xenon,” a hurtling percussive rocket ship through the atmosphere of a techno Tatooine, greeted by the robotic chorus “Welcome To Xenon,” oozing with pure sci-fi drama. Next, he ushers in “The Iconocast”—cavernous, pulsating atmospheres worming and snaking around a broken beat kick and sizzling hats. “Red Pyramid” follows, an algebraic sequence conjuring visions of an alien phalanx descending, a hypnotic and mind-bending ride for the dance floor. The droning and atmospheric “The Sycophant” closes things out, a ghost ship tunneling through deep space, with a rolling and rattling rhythmic engine.
