Grey Report 04 / Takaaki Itoh + Adriana Lopez

Anticipating their appearance on Midgar with a remix for Wata Igarashi, in the previous remix package MDG006X, r²π is the holistic fusion between Retina.it, Ruhig and Prg/m, delivering the super deep and  trippy 4tracker Library Of Babel Ep.

MDG011 - r²π : Library Of Babel EP [snippets]

Parassela is the live and studio project of Blawan and The Analogue Cops. They have been releasing  vinyl hand-grenades on Restoration and Vae Victis Records, after their quickly sold out debut on their own Parassela imprint.
HFFKEM (Hedge Fund Festivals Kill Electronic Music) is state of the art biting Techno; written, mixed and produced at Blawan’s headquarters in Berlin during a gloomy day of summer this year. The Analogue Cops  has joined the bulky modulars of the studio with their roadie cutting edge Elektron machines. These four gritty cuts are an infuriated conglomerate of liquefied analogue leads, rotten oppressive drums and trenchant FM drubbings. And a statement without half-measure on the outline of the situation.

Tresor Records is proud to present Sleeparchive’s most recent work.

Six years have passed since Sleeparchive aka Roger Semsroth produced the phenomenal "A Man Dies In The Street” EP series for Tresor. Semsroth then went on to produce under this and other aliases (Nordvest, Civil Defence Programme) on his own eponymous imprint.

With the "Revised Recordings EP”, Sleeparchive continues to research and master the dense constructed rhythmic textures that have become his signature sound. The three titles are magisterial demonstration of Sleeparchive's high-hand at designing such labyrinthine structures, ever so strongly rooted in an exalted past, yet always thrusting forward.

Ongoing with his Sleep Cycle series, he includes six tightly locked grooves cut on the A-side, only available on vinyl format.

Buffer Overflow

Inigo Kennedy & Samuli Kemppi - Buffer Overflow

Order: https://stroboscopicartefacts.com/shop/the-light-touch-satotem004/

Caustic, dense and centred around complex but exquisitely executed percussive motifs and driven, rising sequences - many would argue an alliance between Shifted’s heady, monochrome recordings and Lucy’s beloved Stroboscopic Artefacts label is long overdue. The music draws on much of the British producer’s previous work, assembled carefully using a characteristic sonic palette - but as ever, Brewer finds fresh space between sounds - showing off a tentatively more extroverted side to his work. 

Title track The Light Touch is perhaps one of Shifted’s more idiosyncratic pieces. Instantly recognisable with it’s heavily granular finish and subtle shifts in delay and reverb composition, the track is rich with groove and moves relentlessly across it’s five minute run time. 

Seel showcases the artist’s talent for building tension with minimal elements - built around a single warping lead, noise tracks drift in and out of the mix to generate effective builds and subtle releases. EP closer, Mixen, riffs on it’s predecessor’s approach but strips back the percussive elements further and ups the ante with searing drone signals rising up above the lead sequence driving the track.

As ever, Brewer’s musical output looks to the heart of the genre - remaining true to purist sensibilities that favour economy of sonic components and studio prowess over unnecessary fanfare, but all the while forging new ground & refining a genuinely personal aesthetic. A powerful debut on a label in fine form that represents some of the best of the British artist’s work.

FOUR SIDES /EXTRACT PART TWO / KAPOOR

Tresor Records is glad to announce two releases by James Ruskin, coming in November 2019. The brand new Siklikal EP featuring four new productions, along with the remaster and reissue of Point 2 - Ruskin’s debut album on Tresor. 


First released in 2000, Point 2 marked a fine debut that entrenches the minimal sequences, utilitarian funk and eerie hypnosis found within Ruskin’s body of work. As Tresor’s relationship with the UK sound grew stronger across the course of the ’00s, it was Ruskin, the label owner of Blueprint Records, who played a critical part in this. Throughout the trio of LPs released over that decade, inspirations of the sci-fi minimal Detroit sound lie abundant, rendered through corporeal slammers typical of the UK vein.

Point 2 was the first of Ruskin’s trilogy for Tresor, and brought a direct and uncompromising vibrancy to the fore, from the aquatic symphony featured on ‘From Over The Edge’ to the pinpoint gaze of ‘Subject’. Gurning loops beat against alien samples, drained into refined abstractions of pure techno.

Newly remastered and featuring two tracks previously not cut onto vinyl, this upfront and bold classic is set to span dancefloors once again.


James Ruskin follows up with a bold new EP entitled Siklikal.

Right from the outset, Nepte draws in by vast sonics and laser focus, unruly synths distort over a skipping beat that hits hard in the right places. As the beat takes a backstep but no less rhythmic, Kn Te3 is one for adventurous DJs, recalling the minimal loops that Ruskin is known for, seeped in industrial melancholy that fizzes a granular decay.

On the b-side, Nocke brings the beat back to the forefront with a muscular UK techno sound, highly effective and pounding. Closing the EP is Kn Am3 which retains the industrial sinew of its near-namesake Kn Te3, exposing raw synth excursions over brutalist machinations. This EP symbolises Ruskin’s dynamic approach, pushing at boundaries yet never without a strong grip over the dancefloor.


Tresor.145 and Tresor.314 release November 1st and 8th on 180g. 2LP and 12" vinyl respectively.

"Acropolis EP" is the first vinyl release of 24/H, an independent record label based at
Tempio Del Futuro Perduto (the Temple Of The Lost Future), a relatively new cultural
space & club in Milan.
The label was founded by Alessandro Vaccari (aka Marthial), young Italian artist and DJ
resident of the Temple, with the aim to invite emerging and renowned artists to reside within
its studio and dormitory spaces and craft a release within 24 hours of time.
In this release, Stanislav Tolkachev showcases his well-known personal attitude and dark
production style which let him earn the reputation of techno genius. The Temple hosted
Stanislav Tolkachev’ artist residence for eleven days, in order to contribute to the label's
mission. After selecting the equipment and making some changes to the studio, the
artist began his 24-hours journey.
Tolkachev created a complex, well-defined two-tracks pack that result in powerful,
destabilizing and impressive narrative, following a non-existing musical path and memories of
his past. The release also features a remix by Marthial himself, who
reinterpreted Stanislav’s work according to his own style.
24H project was also born as a stimulus for any producer living the spaces of the Temple,
as a challenge to bring out the production skills within a certain amount of time and
by using specific machines, deprived from the comfort of his own studio.
Through this idea, 24/H creates a union between all the artists who took part in the challenge,
each one expressing their own stories and musical interpretation of the label concept. The goal
of the label is also, therefore, to test each artist on equal terms, and thus increasing creativity.

24H
24H is the in-house label of Tempio Del Futuro Perduto, a multifunctional cultural
space in Milan, Italy, promoting independent creativity through educational,
social and recreational activities like workshops, seminars, courses and events about
music, design, yoga, art, theathre, dance and more. The futuristic environment space also
features a garden, a recording studio and some comfortable rooms which allow any
artist to stay and live the Temple for fun or artistic residencies purposes.
The final objective of the label is to indeed create a strong network between artists
operating in the field of technology and artistic reseach, to form a collective of conscious
operators willing to increase the power of human relations and technologic progress.

Stanislav Tolkachev
Stanislav Tolkachev is a techno pioneer from Ukraine. His productions are influenced
both by the classic sound of Detroit and the sleek minimalistic tendencies born in Berlin.
He is focused on experimentation with textures and psychedelic sounds, taking inspiration
from many diverse sources. Tolkachev’s music has been released on many labels,
including M_Rec, Inkblots, Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound, Modularz, Geophone.

Produced across separate mornings, in the calmness of two conflicting environments, "Morning Still" is a snapshot in time in the life of Lucien Biscop. The four tracks share a common moodiness, from "Observed States", the most emotionally steered, to "Decision Theory", the anchor of this EP. To conclude the EP, Stanislav Tolkachev revisits the closing track, with a powerful and cold take on the already grounded piece.

Inspired from a past of jungle and drum & bass, Robert now composes via an array of live electronics, infusing his productions with the fluidity and vitality of a direct recording.

This first part of a forthcoming double EP showcases a matured sound, featuring deep, hypnotic trips, swelling, and swerving dub chords, dreamy break-science and finally the amalgamation of it all - a distinctly unique sound by an artist we hope to be presenting more of in the near future.

ARTHUR ROBERT - ARRIVAL PART 1 (FIGURE X19)

@30drecords sublabel ‘Close Encounters’ publishes its third release ‘Third Contact’ EP on April 24th 2020, (initially on digital release) bringing together a range of artists to express their musical vision as a virtual union, somewhat reflective of the globes current confinement. 

‘Third Contact EP’ delivers four tracks from an alliance of artists who are at a peak in their careers; Denise Rabe clearly defines her dark, hypnotic trade-mark aesthetic in "We’ll Meet In Shanghai", a timeless track even before its release. Geistform combines industrial-electro with a raw techno drive, continuously channelling his masterful energy in "3C 273". A more dancefloor-oriented B side features "Stolen" from Temudo, delivering rolling groove and distorted bass-lines, Adriana Lopez closing the EP with her high energy, spellbinding "SMV", both B-side tracks perfectly geared toward a wide variety of DJ sets.

30D Records are thrilled to debut all four artists on this special release and all the artists are equally happy to be able to share their creativity and vision through music with you at these strange times.

Third Contact EP

Premiere: Adriana Lopez "SMV" - Close Encounters


I started on this in the electronic, industrial rock influenced by nin minystry etc, magazines such as, Dance de Lux, Espiral or Disco2000 I discovered a lot of artists both techno and electronic house, a new world for me and curiosity made rest, in 1999 bought a roland MC303 one atari1040 and yamaha CS15
with this I did my first cassette demos recorded by then I pass to digital on Reason and Ableton shortly after, now
use Ableton with some external hardware, my passion synths and drum machines any pileup with buttons and dials, yet I have nothing
  edited, but I hope to publish soon .... on my page you can hear some demos and remixes ... hope you like it ... greetings;)
