Sven Väth - Mystic Voices / Butoh - COR12171

The second release before the upcoming mighty new Sven Väth album “Catharsis” gives you another hint at what ́s coming at you! Let us tell you, we couldn ́t be more excited for everyone to finally experience Sven ́s new masterpiece!
But before we unleash the beast, we decided to release a second single. This time containing two absolute highlight tracks. If you have heard Sven playing in the past months, you will recognize both, as they were pivotal moments in almost every set!
First up we have “Mystic Voices“, a track that was created during the early stages of the album production with Sven gathering ideas and words to finally record the unmistakable vocals during a hectic tour through India, and Gregor spending days and nights on the other side of the planet in his studio to process the stream of inspiration. When the two finally sat down together in the studio, the track emerged quickly. Some would call the instant vibe that magic that every creative mind is longing to find.
“Butoh” is a raw and dark force, influenced by Japanese dance, an art form that deeply touched Sven during his travels on Nippon Island. It ́s an otherworldly sounding track, still based in the Techno Realm but heavily twisted by a long break that introduces Japanese percussions that eventually get topped by the haunting vocals of Cana Hatsushiba.

Metodi Hristov - Dots (Original Mix) [Terminal M]

Drumcode favourite Harvey McKay returns to the label with a darker new sound.

The Glaswegian has been a regular contributor over the years, highlighted by the memorable ‘The Illusion of Control’ EP in 2014 and his newer work with brother Ryan under the Alias moniker. Earlier this year Drumcode released the duo’s ‘Pentatonic’ EP and featured a mix on Adam Beyer’s radio, which included ‘Black Dolphin’, kickstarting the hype on the track.

Named after the infamous Russian prison, the title track is dark, tough, deeply textured brooding affair, with a menacing touch than runs through its core. McKay then brings in a huge synth line and changes up the dynamic of the track, giving it a powerful and driving feel. ‘Retox’ is a dark and twisted heavy-hitting cut, driven by aggressive drums and bassline, while a hypnotic synth line sustains a sense of tension throughout the six-minute track. Concluding the package is ‘Cover Up’, a fantastic stripped back exploration into dark atmospheric techno territory that’s tailor made for the winter warehouse raving season.

Long time friend of SCI+TEC Rob Hes returns to the label for the second time this year with two more devilishly stark, uncompromised and subtly psychedelic slabs of techno, sculpted for deep mix pleasure.

‘Proxima’ takes the lead with a stripped back loopy dynamic that gradually builds with trembling chime sounds rattling gently across the pneumatic drum groove. Full immersion guaranteed; there’s something deeply hypnotic about the way Rob has layered the lean elements here.

‘Noah Is Born’ hits with a little more drum density and textured weight as we’re treated to another entrancing trip. This time the shimmering sounds play much more of a lead role in the narrative as they ripple across the track from left to right like dreamy audio hallucinations.
Enchanting, icy, driving: Rob Hes’s ability to fuse the mechanical with the mystical continues to bewilder and amaze us. Rest assured he’ll be back on SCI+TEC very soon…

From Another Mind founders SHDW & Obscure Shape announce charity remix package featuring an array of rising talents with all proceeds doubled by the German duo and donated to Ärzte Ohne Grenzen (Médecins Sans Frontières aka Doctors Without Borders).

Opening the package, Anterist's remix of SHDW & Obscure Shape's 'Die Weiße Rose' rolls forward with cantering kicks, off-beat hats and murky synths, leading into Jay Clarke's contrasting version with its chuggy bassline, piercing stabs and murky atmospherics - broken up by celestial breakdown at the midway point. Next, Leksom's take on the same track is built upon gloomy sound design and features syncopated drums and oscillating effects.

STXRK then remixes 'Gesang Der Toten Dinge' to create a relentless groove courtesy of precision kicks, delayed notes and tantalising arps. Finally, the package concludes with a curveball remix of 'Die Weiße Rose' from Underher who creates an epic number opening with a suspenseful and atmospheric intro, incorporating a brand new and original serene vocal from Eleonora, before shifting into a meandering rhythm - the result is a twisted and esoteric aesthetic.
