techno 2023

Tokyo techno star Risa Taniguchi delivers her third release for Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains label with the bustling ‘Insomnia’ EP.

The classically trained and skilled musician has always drawn inspiration from the underground scene of her home city, and playing clubs such as Vent, Contact and Womb. Releases for labels like CLR, Octopus Recordings, Cin Cin and Odd Recordings have helped her build up an international reputation.

A trio of pumping and rolling techno jams are offered up on the ‘Insomnia’ EP, each one peppered with animated riffs, frenzied percussion and raw energy.

PREMIERE: Risa Taniguchi - Insomnia (Kneaded Pains)

Dance music royalty doesn’t come as legendary as The Advent, the techno project led by Cisco Ferreira since 1994. With three decades and counting under the belt, The Advent have fired out refined and impactive club tunes for labels such as Internal/FFRR, Tresor, Klockworks, Drumcode, Perc Tracks and many more. And so, it’s a real coup for Eats Everything & Andres Campo’s EI8HT imprint that a trio of pure fire belters are cued on the ‘Rival’ EP.

Three tracks of intelligent and hypnotising techno are delivered with ease by The Advent, with Ferreira pulling out all the tricks of the trade from his highly experienced box marked ‘bangers’. Looping rhythms with more bounce to the ounce, metallic hats & rides and earworm riffs combine for an impeccable set of tracks from one of the masters!

Mavic Music is proud to present the latest release from Barbuto, "D.A.T.P." The three-track EP is set to drop on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, and showcases Barbuto's unique blend of tech house and techno. Fans of Solardo will find much to enjoy in the EP's hard-hitting beats and groovy basslines.

"D.A.T.P." serves as the lead single, and sets the tone for the EP with its driving beats and ravey synths. "Dat Bass" brings a more playful energy to the table with nods to a harder sound, while "Upside Down" delves deeper into the realm of dark techno. The EP as a whole showcases Barbuto's versatility as a producer and ability to push boundaries.

As an artist with early roots in funky house but a passion for dark techno, Barbuto is dedicated to making records that express his true personality and not fitting into any trendy boxes. "D.A.T.P." is available soon and marks a new chapter in Barbuto's music journey.

Reprezent Radio DJ & producer, RALPH, returns with his latest single 'Sometimes it's Best We  Don't', an uplifting, ethereal piece of electronica, written during the early stages of life during 
a pandemic and capturing the ambiguities of an unpredictable future. It charts loss and time,  and forms the first single to his upcoming TIME EP. Following on from his remix of 'The  Abandonment of...Ego!' by The Irrepressibles, RALPH adds sombre and pensive notes to his 
otherwise heavier discography.

‘For me, the record really points to the forced sense of immobility caused by the pandemic — this period was initially pretty creative for me. But it’s poignant, obviously it was a terrible  time for the amount of lives lost, I myself was touched by this…   It also sheds light on identities that were marred and the livelihood’s that were altered 
inextricably. As a producer and performer, contrastingly it was a harsh time; the lack of live  music and social interaction was incredibly di"icult for me. ‘Sometimes it’s Best We Don’t’ encompasses the nuances that were a part of 2020, the darker periods ever-present but  crucially settling on the idea that light would be at the end of the tunnel.’

‘Sometimes it’s Best We Don’t’ releases Thursday 16th February 2023 on all major streaming  services.

E-Missions is proud to issue ‘Vassau,’ the debut EP from Parisian producer Nymed. A rising star in the city of light’s queer underground, the EP includes 4 originals and two remixes from Berlin-based producers Oliver Deutschmann and E-Missions label manager False Witness.

Known only as Kamil to close friends, DJ & Producer Nymed has established himself as a pillar of the queer nightlife community in Paris. Hailing from the Flemish coastal town of Dunkirk in the north of France, Nymed discovered techno and its variant strains at a very young age from trips to neighboring cities such as Ghent, Brussels & Rotterdam. Motivated from these early ventures, Nymed’s party series ‘Conceptual Violence’ was born. Organized in blockhouses from the second World War on the coastline of Dunkirk, the concept for the function was simple: to reappropriate & transform a place of war into a place of celebration, joy & love. From this series of events, the podcast of the same name took shape, which has featured a growing roster of acclaimed international talent.

After relocating to Paris in 2019, Nymed has honed in on his production skills, heavily influenced from the established queer scene. After having played for the biggest event institutions in the city such as Spectrum, Myst, Flash Cocotte & Mess, Nymed is now ready to deliver ‘Vassau’ – a four track EP of rhythmic, all-groove Techno tracks inspired from the queer, sexually liberated Parisian club atmospheres of today along with two intense remixes from Oliver Deutschmann and False Witness.

Davide Miozzi aka Raziel, born in Genoa began his first steps in the world of clubbing at the age of 19 where he became resident in a well-known club in Genoa called Ghostclub.

The heavy hitting two track EP 'Concentrate' shows Raziel's thundering production skills. Both tracks 'Concentrate' and 'My Body' are absolute hard driving techno bangers whereas 'My Body' got some acid and hard techno vibes on top.

Bizarro Records returns to its Australian roots for three functional tracks from Eora/Sydney local Eastern Distributor with a remix from Montreal prodigy Maara. Drawing heavily from the psychedelic influences of our country’s bush doof scene, ‘State of Equilibrium’ alludes to trance and techno relics of the past whilst accelerating into a hybrid psy-tek sound.

‘Affinity’ delivers a functional, peak-time psychedelic motion, ebbing and flowing into dark resonant euphoria. ‘Balance’ sticks closer to the modern domestic sound; an upbeat, bubbling tech-house influenced track, presenting a futuristic psy take on a sound marking contemporary dancefloors. The third track ‘Endorphin’ is without doubt a bouncing techno tool, infinitely ascending from powerful low-frequency buzz to progged-out elation. The EP comes to a close with a taste of Maara’s signature sound - characterizing her take on ‘Endorphin’ with an irresistible dancefloor oriented bassline, filled with the angelic pads that define her discography.

Released back in 2020 as EI8HT’S eighth release, label boss Eats Everything unleashed the ‘8 Cubed’ EP on the imprint he curates alongside Andres Campo. An EP brimming with modern and utilitarian high tempo techno jams, the bustling collection featured eight club pumpers, showcasing the pacier side to Eats’ sound.

Two years on, and a raft of remixers have been enlisted to reinterpret, rework and remix some of the tracks from the release. On Volume 1, Italian techno titan Marco Faraone serves up a tight and relentless groove on his remix of Voicenote, featuring the guest appearance from Chi-town house royalty Felix Da Housecat. And Bristol based rising star edetto locks in a rattling and rasping version of ‘Wreckage’.

Reflexions is the debut sampler from Echo Locations, the new Vancouver-based label with an unyielding zeal for club-ready, dubby, and heady tracks. The sampler’s four cuts serve as a herald for what’s to come with four emerging international artists delivering their own unique interpretation of Echo Location’s mission to deliver high quality techno.

France’s 23.4 dials up the energy with the clubby, Detroit-reminiscent “Music Man.” An uptempo offering with crisp snares and frenzied chord stabs, Music Man gives a nod to both the roots of techno and the speed-craving, mid-140’s flavour of today’s landscape.

Reflexions

PREMIERE: 23.4 - Music Man [Echo Locations]

Lost in the depths of space, AAKAARA takes listeners on a journey to the outer limits of the sonic universe with their latest album “Obsidian Promises”. Blending influences from punk and metal, EBM, architectural design and certain celestial objects, AAKAARA offers a fresh take on industrial techno. This body of work is dark and brooding, full of haunting and thought-provoking soundscapes. Metallic and cold one moment, blisteringly hot the next. Pounding drums create searing rhythms, acid-drenched synths weave abrasive textures, and noise permeates the stereo field.
Inspired by the mysterious and alluring world of black holes, the producer explores the beauty of extremes through sound.
"If you know my work or me," AAKAARA says, "it's no secret that I have a spiritual connection to, and an obsession with, black holes. It's not about doom and gloom, but about beautiful extremes: infinite calmness, ultra-high energy, being deeply centered, and inevitable attraction.”
“I try to sonify this in a naive sense. It isn't an attempt at science; it's a way for me to practice a makeshift spirituality about these entities through craft and functional dance music for people."
Spirituality and stellar inspiration were essential to AAKAARA's life during the three years they spent between Los Angeles and London, while writing this album. It provided a sonic home during a period of transition, when they didn't feel at home and didn't have access to a studio. Everything was made "in the box" using only Ableton 10. After collecting guitar pedals and amplifiers for years, AAKAARA has shifted away from a hardware-focused mindset and is now more invested in the conceptual framework, narrative, and cultural implications of their work.
Visuals also play an integral role in this maximalist experience. The outer sleeve (front and back cover) conveys the “big ideas” visually, while the companion poster includes custom typography, detailed drawings, symbol design, and poetry. The poetry provides a textual counterpoint to the lyric-less music, written in parallel but later stages of the production process. The visual identity of this work is inseparable from the music, describing it in an integral way. It’s the other side of the coin, not simply an accompaniment.
With its spiritual connection to the infinite and mysterious, “Obsidian Promises” harnesses the beauty and intensity of celestial entities as musical inspiration, transforming the science into mystical, narrative-driven sonic . Get ready for a ride through the unknown as AAKAARA's latest offering takes you on a high-energy trip through the black hole's playground.

Boom Merchant (DJ, producer & Tribal Pulse label boss) is curating a unique strain of techno using a collection of analogue machines, laced with galactic sparkles and jungle warhorns that set him aside from any other electronic artist. Forming a like-minded collective around him, Boom Merchant sets out on a mission with his tribe to revive the Glasgow underground electronic scene. Resident DJ at the Shower Rooms & Tribal Pulse. On the airwaves at Groove City Radio & Proton Radio.
 
"Fast-rising Glaswegian producer Boom Merchant is a man whose sound is hard to pigeonhole, but is draped in rich and sinewed quality regardless." - Data Transmission
 
Boom Merchant is back in the studio with fresh energy from gigs in Saigon and Da Nang, and he returns to the label with 3 tough and twisted dance weapons ready to shake the floor.
 
Into The Woods is a jigsaw of overdriven drum machines, building to a crescendo peppered with the vocal madness of hypothetical circus master Chris Mccarry. This will work as well at the afters as it does in the club.
 
Rise of the Fax Machine tells the story of a legion of obsolete machinery giving us the middle finger and rolling off into the sunset to create a better society. Featuring the vocals of Francis Thorburn of Shower Rooms fame, it features a building array of analog bleeps and a lazy, swing-heavy percussion groove.
 
The Thumb rounds off the EP with rolling bass, staccato stabs and a heavy momentum.
 
We hope these tracks put a smile on your face.
