Since its launch in 2015, Parabel has established itself as one of the main Swedish techno imprint with very well received EPs by local artists Joel Mull, Patrick Siech, Nima Khak, The Persuader, Petter B or Patrik Skoog.

Parabel steps up with Joel Mull’s fourth LP ‘Arrow Of Time’, his first album in eight years and the first LP to be released on the label.

If you’ve listened to techno in the past twenty years, Joel Mull won’t need any introduction, with three previous LPs released on prestigious labels Inside, Harthouse and Truesoul, and regular EPs appearing on Drumcode, Cocoon, Mary Go Wild or Kanzlermant to name a few.

This new album is influenced by traveling, time and the future’s point of direction. It is melancholic, cinematic, with the soul of techno at its heart. Here is the concept hiding behind it in the artist’s own words:

”We all have moments when we think about time, I do, especially when I travel. There is a certain loose feeling when I write music and sketch on ideas while I’m in a moving object that is blasting throughout space, such as a plane or a train.

These moments are more intense for me than, for example, when I’m working on ideas in the studio. The studio is amazing but it can also be too structured. When I look out of a window and have a moving canvas in front, it directly adds emotion and easily inspires me.

‘Arrow Of Time’ is the inspiration to this album’s title. It is both the time capsule that we all travel in and the journey that you do every time you listen to music.

Most of the ideas behind the tracks have then been recorded in my home studio adding a few instruments to the mix such as the Roland sh101, Lyra 8 the Roland tr8 and through the Elektron Analog Heat to get it to glow a bit more.Then processing it on my laptop with plugins from UAD, Softube, Soundtoys and with my favorite software Ableton.

The album could not sound complete and get released to the outside world without the help of my favorite mastering engineer Walter Coelho.”

Radio Slave drops full release of 2019’s mysterious white label, ’Silent Witness’.

Originally released in the summer of 2019 under the name Silent Witness and titled ‘Year Of The Snake’, Radio Slave’s ’Silent Witness’ is a two track single that sees the British artist delve into his late eighties/early nineties bleep influences. The title track’s insistent, no-messing staccato groove and tightly looped discordant tones fall firmly into the ‘face melter’ area of the racks while the flip’s ‘Year of the Snake’ takes a moodier path that screams late night tension.

With a three part LP and numerous singles slated for release, 2020 is shaping up to be Radio Slave’s aka Matthew Edwards most productive year to date. From a producer with hundreds of tracks and countless aliases and side projects where the quality threshold never dips, it’s an incredible feat.

"177X" is a tense futuristic banger with roots in the '90s, carefully sculpted and expertly produced by Konsequent Records' Maral Salmassi. It comes with two remixes - an emotional and powerful masterpiece of sound design by Inigo Kennedy and a minimal gem by Oliver Rosemann that is in its robust simplicity both: hypnotizing and invigorating.

Wexford native SYMØNE(@symonekatus) began her journey into the industry in 2018 after a long time day dreaming about it and hasn’t looked back since. Crediting her households diverse music tastes as a youth she draws her repertoire from the old school rave scene, defaulting to trance and acid while also peppering in new age raw, melodic and minimal techno. This mixed spectrum of musical influence paired with an open mind and fierce curiosity translates seamlessly into her sets, where she picks apart and creates an infectious fusion of her favourite pieces of each subgenre.
Describing her sound as high energy with a dark yet feel-good vibe, Symone’s captivating & dynamic sets allow audiences to get lost in the beauty of heavy bass lines.
The last year has seen Symone cement her name in the Irish music scene supporting artists such as 999999999, Matador, Dense & Pika, Rebuke and more in venues across the country. Ever evolving and having set the bar high for her work ethic, she continues to dedicate herself to the craft.

For those of you who may not know who this man is you are certainly going to hear more of his name in the future having already gotten the attention of Ireland's own Rebuke. Strap in for some solid Techno

"I started off making crappy beats on my laptop a few years back, but when I was old enough to go to festivals and raves the music and atmosphere blew my mind which inspired me to get involved in the underground scene. My dream was then to play my own productions out to a crowd and see people go mad to my music. 2019 was the year a lot of my music started to take off, being played at festivals across Ireland. This year I have had tracks signed to labels such as Techno City, a quickly rising techno label based here at home. I've had recent support from Rebuke, opening his Rebuke ravers club set with an unreleased track of mine ''Tomorrow starts without me''. " - KIRK

@sasha-carassi’s @phobiqrecordings welcomes mysterious Belgian artist TNTS as part of the Abilities X compilation. The track entitled ‘Lockdown' is a standout piece, showcasing the artist's darker side of melodic techno as unsettling arpeggios and cold industrial synths communicate over a forward marching groove and pulsing bass. Returning from a 2 year sabbatical, the Belgian appears to have shifted gears and schedules in new work including remixes by legendary producers such as the Swedish Zoo Brazil and KIKO form France, suddenly making him one to watch!

Mathias Kaden returns to Rekids with four-track EP ‘Control Your Mind’, featuring a remix from Marcel Dettmann.

Previously appearing on Rekids in 2019 with his ‘Liberate Drums’ EP, Mathias Kaden makes his second appearance on Radio Slave aka Matt Edwards’ label with four original tracks of razor sharp material, as well as a remix from Berghain resident Dettmann.

‘Control Your Mind’ opens with the impeccably produced title track, an electro flecked roller. Featuring hypnotic synth work and subtle automated inflections, the cut effortlessly glides, peppered with the occasional titular vocal refrain from Sven Väth puncturing the groove. Shifting into 4/4 territory is ‘Conviction’, a restrained but stunningly effective track that makes full use of memorable off-beat synth stabs and shimmering 909 percussion to constantly drive the track forward.

On the flip, Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann turns up the heat with his remix of ‘Control Your Mind’. Filtering the vocals, the MDR and BAD MANNERS boss also delivers a resonant bassline that works in tandem with knocking percussion, as creeping pads morph and evolve over the duration of the track, creating a trippy and propulsive banger.

Classic dub techno aesthetics are front and centre in ‘Substance’, a track destined for the golden hours between late at night and early in the morning, while finishing the package in fine style, the digital only ‘Anticipation’ showcases Kaden’s skill in crafting a killer peak time track, adding a welcome bonus of yet another weapon for USBs worldwide.
