Release date on all major digital music stores & streaming platforms: October 17th, 2025

Altered Reality Records proudly presents Lost in Rave — a six-track journey through the golden age of rave, packed with pure energy, classic influences, and forward-driving power. Featuring stellar contributions from Calzo (UK), DJ Fantasia (Poland), DJ187 (UK), Met Ra (Ukraine), Montoni (USA), and Project Alpha (Germany), this VA release dives deep into the sounds of mid-90s hard trance, techno, and acidtrance.

From the mystical rush of 'Free Your Mind (1999 Anthem)' to the high-energy euphoric drive of 'Electro', every track is a tribute to the rave floors of yesteryear. 'The Things We Have Lost' delivers a hypnotic techno journey through sound, while 'The Shadow of the Moon' launches into orbit with uplifting, spaced-out energy. 'Altered State' leans into atmospheric psytrance with a deep, expansive breakdown, and 'Eternity' brings it home with massive energy and a classic 90s hard trance feel.

This is rave music in its rawest, most powerful form — a tribute to the glory days with both feet firmly in the now. Turn it up and get Lost in Rave!

We hope you like it and are most curious to receive your feedback!

Like it, share it, and let's rave like we used to!

Monnom Black will mark its 17th release with its first various artist compilation presented on triple vinyl. Keeping with the label’s modus operandi, the compilation is packed with iconic, raw and uncompromising techno, featuring 13 artists new and old to the imprint, including a re-release of a classic Drax aka Thomas P. Heckmann track from 1993.

To coincide with the launch of the compilation, Monnom Black will hold its first highly-anticipated label party. Locking arms with the notorious underground Dutch promoters Reaktor, known for their challenging events and pushing the boundaries of what techno has to offer. Together they will celebrate with an electronic onslaught on New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam’s Elementstraat Warehouse. A location cut to the bone that perfectly encapsulates the label and promoters combined vision and ethos.

Dax J curates the night fusing the label together for a special moment in time, with the titan warehouse opening up two of its rooms hosting a monster line up with the likes of CJ Bolland, Regis as CUB, Thomas P. Heckmann, I Hate Models, UVB, Stranger, Zanias, Cressida, Inhalt Der Nacht, Raffaele Attanasio, Tommy Holohan and Remco Beekwilder.

Djedjotronic - Take Me Down Feat. Douglas McCarthy (Obscure Shape  SHDW Remix) [BNR182D]

Obscure Shape & SHDW represent the new generation of German techno, they took over in a very small amount of time their own space, and they showed that their sound can fit in many different places. Now it's time for them to join the label with a stunning debut that represents all they did in this years, but even better what they want to aim for in the future. It's a refined release. Four full length tracks that are extremely helpful in any occasion from clubs to pure raves and warehouses, there is no real rule, it's all about energy and power. Welcome to Obscure Shape & SHDW.

Barcelona arts collective HEX readies the final 2020 release from its HEX Recordings stable with Under Black Helmet's 'Lose Something To Gain Everything' EP landing mid-December. 

‘Lose Something to Gain Everything' sees Lithuanian producer Under Black Helmet turn in four tracks ranging from the haunting, beatless 'Running Barefoot' to the more familiar territory of acerbic industrialism on the title track. Regardless of the bpms utilised across the EP, each piece on 'Running Barefoot' is joined by an ethereal melodic motif employed variously to either colour the whole track or subtly employed to create tense contrasts. 

HEX founders Paolo Ferrara & Lorenzo Raganzini deliver a remix of 'Running Barefoot' that, during its six and a half minutes, flies through a dense, ever-evolving patchwork of brutalist techno that steadfastly refuses to stay in one place. 

Rounding off an excellent year of releases for HEX Recordings, 'Lose Something to Gain Everything' by Under Black Helmet is released Dec 15th.
