The Minneapolis-based producer and live performing artist Autokinetic debuts on DVS1's Mistress Recordings: "Mistress 16" is not only a thrilling, hardware-heavy heads-down techno affair with a focus on polyrhythms and basslines, Autokinetic also showcases his melodic ingenuity that adds a deeper level to his narrative.

Mike McClure, aka Autokinetic, based in Minneapolis (U.S.), has been performing live electronic music since the early 90’s. Coming up alongside local legends like Freddy Fresh, Woody McBride, Paul Birken, DJ Slip, and DVS1, his approach to electronic music is unmistakably informed by his long involvement in underground electronic music culture. Earlier in his career, Autokinetic produced hard, 909-driven acid and now focuses on deeper, more spacious grooves. His full-hardware live performances have an unmistakable after-hours feel that is true to his roots. McClure also records and performs live as AutoClub with Craig Lambert (Midnight Music Club). He has released music on such labels as Electric Music Foundation, Serotonin, Trope Recordings, and Music Man, as well as a record label co-managed with Freddy Fresh, Analog Records USA.

MISTRESS 16 will be available at all fine record stores and also comes with a digital bonus track, only available on Bandcamp: www.dvs1mistress.bandcamp.com

Premiere: Mersel - High Plateaus

Stockholm repper Patrik Eriksson is a proponent for deep and loopy techno; under his Dold moniker, the DJ/producer delivers all manner of introverted compositions, moments designed for home and club that resonate with an evocative and redoubtable simplicity. His catalogue of releases on the co-run label Arsenik are an ongoing dialogue with live partner Kuf and a selection of well-known peers, stripped-down techno that conveys a cogent message with its straight-talking approach.

The Revival Recordings (BAS 014) is another vinyl feather in Dold’s cap, a five-track release that takes the relay from his developing opus and sprints assuredly on. A1 Work Me pairs mercurial hi-hats with subaquatic squeaks, while its successor keeps tempo and switches its leitmotif for hollow, metallic repetitions. The temperature rises with Solid Solitude, the A3 banger that’s likely to make its way into many a closing set towards the end of summer. The B side takes a darker turn with Insight (B1), a slower, more philosophical entry suggestive of breezy Scandinavian nights. B2 points its arrow in another direction, still more urban, more club floor, shuffling acid beats that tie the record and Dold’s many-faceted influences together in a neat package. There’s a bit of everything here, and a hint at both Dold’s capacity as a producer and what might be yet to come. A promise of compelling techno from the north that’s sure to put his star on the rise.

A1 - Sub Basics - Vacuum
A2 - Sub Basics - Plasma

Sometimes you hear a sound which ruins you and you remain chasing the echo that floats heavy, dubby, but with sharpened edges. Funky breaks under low ceilings. 'Time Codes' is made for the longer nights.

Alien Circuit Vol. 2 - Erica Synths Sequences
This sample pack contains 150 sequences designed entirely with my small 64hp Eurorack system and inspired by raw techno genres.

There are:

12 Bass Sequences [134bpm]
12 Kick Texture Sequences [138bpm]
14 Noise Groove Sequences [136bpm]
10 Random Burst Sequences [136bpm]
42 Sequenced System Raw Sequences [138bpm]
60 Sequenced System Processed Sequences [138bpm]


Once recorded and edited in Ableton Live, sequences have been processed with High-End Plugins (UAD, Softube, Waves, PA…) for dynamic control and color.

The idea behind this sample pack Is to provide elements for tracks that can be used as they come, and that can be edited as well. Chop them, process them, duck them… be creative and do not just leave the sequences as they are. Even though they have been processed already, you can further explore with your favorite plugins and discover new sounds as happened to me in creating the demo loops.
