@abzolutrecords press release:

Another Techno monster from our main man.
Koen made this track during a 3 hour flight this Summer and did the final mixing and stuff as soon as he got home from the airport.
Big and dark thumping beats, atmospheric sound effects and a breakdown with a boiling synth and bass hook, these are the components of 'Roselawn', a gem produced to lit up dancefloors.

Kevin De Vries delivers big room drama on his ‘Aratak’ EP for Afterlife Recordings. 

Spirited synth lines, drum rolls, gripping moments of silence and weighty kick drums make the title track of De Vries’ Afterlife debut formidable club gear. ‘Sciamachy’ is more subtle, centred around a euphoric arpeggio which spirals to its apex. Konstantin Sibold contributes a fine remix, toning down certain elements of ‘Sciamachy’ to let others shine. It completes an EP that brims with energy and dancefloor dynamism, a hugely exciting first full record for De Vries on Afterlife.

Coming back to the Upon.You Records camp with his second EP is T Raum, the Vienna-based producer who brought us the „Daywalker EP" in May of 2k18. Now, teaming up with fellow artist Johan Mila for „The Strange" the Austrian producer is back with more dancefloor-focused goodness, bringing us our first release of the still new, fresh and young year 2019.

Opening with „Hot Rod" the two artists immediately prove that they are a studio force to be reckoned with, weighing in pumping, crafty next level TechHouse with a storming, quite muscular peaktime touch, huge breakdowns and a powerful, ever spiralling synth motif made to take punters to a trance-inducing rave heaven within seconds.

The title track „The Strange *Vocal Mix" brings on another dancefloor weapon created by T Raum & Johan Mila, focusing on distinct, perfectly shaped TechHouse drums, warm, floating DubTechno-influenced pads, clever percussion arrangements and beautiful, out of this world vocals coming down to the dancefloor from electronic music heavens.

On the next tip we see T Raum & Johan Mila presenting their track „Melodrama", a stripped down, yet upliftng affair exploring the borderline between TechHouse and (Neo)Trance for rolling late night / early morning dancefloor workouts, weighing in widescreen panorama breakdowns and touching atmospheres for humungous crowds and beauteous sunrise experiences.

Finally „The Strange *Dub Mix" rolls out another angle on the title track, putting an emphasis on its distinct DubTechno chords and beautiful melody whilst stripping the original cut off the vocals to allow variation for those DJ's who like to go deeper throughout their sets.

Ellen Allien emits a powerful ​AURAA​ on new LP.

Ellen Allien - one of Berlin’s most ardent techno ambassadors - proudly unveils her latest full-length expedition into the realms of underground electronica. Brimming with creative energy, Ellen’s new LP AURAA follows her 2019 release Alientronic, and is her third album in three years. Raw, emotive and capable of transporting you from reality to an electrofied fantasy, AURAA explores the notion of unseen energies controlling our planet.

Beginning with the faintest hint of trance euphoria on the downtempo ‘Hello Planet Earth (Breath Mix)’, the album soon moves into more bumpin’ territory with ‘In Music I Trust’ - Ellen’s signature use of vocals-as-melody entrancing the listener. ‘Walking In The Dark’ takes things up a notch further with jabbing percussion and mesmerising atmospherics, followed by ‘Confusion’, a masterclass in heady hypnotic composition. ‘Human’ is a deeply affecting beatless segue with its drone-esque soundscape. ‘True Romantics’ taps into your emotional centre utilising hard beats and wistful synth lines. Lastly, ‘Traum’ (Dream in English) takes us out of our bodies and into the infinite realm of vibration, as waves of beautifully composed pads and bubbling analogue bass encourage us to transcend into the next astral plane.
