On My Mind

Berlin’s own Karla Blum joins forces with rising talent Andrea Botez for Checkmate, a powerful Techno weapon out now on Set About. Precision-built for late-night intensity, the track drives forward with relentless energy, razor-sharp percussion, and a dark, commanding groove that never lets up. It’s a statement of confidence, focus, and control — just like its title.

Karla Blum, shaped by the raw energy of Berlin’s iconic clubs like Ritter Butzke and festivals like Pavoia, brings a deep connection to the underground scene. Meanwhile, Andrea Botez, known globally for her mastery of the chessboard, now enters the techno arena with equal strategy and flair. Checkmate merges both worlds — calculated intensity with club-ready firepower.

Tragedy Within

Backspin – the imprint launched by Regal as a love letter to early 2000s Hardgroove – welcomes techno titan Marco Bailey with the 'Drivetonik' EP: a powerful blend of past and present that pays homage to Hardgroove's golden era while keeping the focus firmly on today's dancefloors.

The EP opens with the title track 'Drivetonik', a brand-new production that sets the tone: raw, rolling and built to move bodies. A straight-up Hardgroove banger, it's Bailey at his most focused. All momentum, no compromise. What follows is a rare treat for longtime heads: three classic tracks, originally released on the legendary Primate Recordings, now freshly remastered for 2025. 'Hustler' brings the bounce with its infectious and instantly effective sound. 'Karma' leans into tribal rhythms and percussive layering, while 'Konverter' cuts through with synth stabs and vocal chops, offering a punchy, streamlined ride through early-2000s funk. To close things out, Swedish Hardgroove legend Hertz steps in to rework 'Konverter', injecting his signature style into a remix that's as crisp as it is driving, a perfect fusion of old-school grit and modern precision.

With each release, Backspin Records continues its mission to rediscover, revive, and redefine the foundations of 2000s groove-driven techno. With the 'Drivetonik' EP, Marco Bailey shows us why his legacy remains firmly embedded in the genre's foundation.
