Emerging as artist of note for both now and the future, Chlär continues to craft and shape his sound as he curates his own high-octane approach to techno. Combining dynamic performances taking in three and four deck mixes with his own up front productions and his talents as a former mastering engineer, the Swiss talent has become a respected name amongst his peers. After releases on Lobster Theremin and his own Bipolar Disorder imprint, the Berlin-based DJ, producer and label boss heads to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s blooming label Mutual Rytm to deliver six precise and powerful cuts across his ‘Optimized Groove’ EP.

“As the names states, ‘Optimized grooves’ is a collection of tracks designed to match specific parts of the event/night. From ‘Night Genesis’ at the origin of the night through to tracks like ‘Maximum Performance’, a peak time bomb, and ‘Spirit Enhancer’ - an uplifting and warm production elevating individuals to higher labels after hours of spiritual connection’” - Chlär

Opener ‘Early Morning Acceleration’ sets the tone early and dives into a looping ride through slinking hats and bustling arrangements - combining classic influences with forward thinking touches to reveal a dynamic slice of techno. Next, ‘Maximum Performance’ fuses swelling low-ends, sharp percussion and vibrant leads, while ‘Love Blaster’ delivers an all out fiesta armed with rolling drums, sharp whistles and rich chords. On the flip, B1 ‘Night Genesis’ sees hypnotic loopy vocals balanced by tough kicks and luminous synths, before ‘Spirit Enhancer’ showcases a soulful trip as resonant electronics work around the track’s tunnelling groove. The digital EP comes with a bonus exclusive production in ‘Synaptic Discussion’, a euphoric and impactful closer which brings things to a close firmly in the peak time hours.

PREMIERE: Chlär - Love Blaster (Original Mix) [MR005]

Lars Huismann is back on Mutual Rytm with the much-anticipated third volume of his ‘Sounds From The Past’ trilogy. 

A core part of SHDW & Obscure Shape’s ever more crucial Mutual Rytm imprint thanks to his timeless techno offerings as part of his ongoing ‘Sounds From The Past’ series, Berlin-based DJ/producer Lars Huismann’s stock continues to rise release by release as a talent merging influences from the past with forward-thinking nuances of the future. Drawing on the early 2000 techno sound, he embellishes it with his own perspective, as evidenced by his earlier releases on the label. This latest six-track offering is another accomplished outing from this unique talent as he concludes the three-part series on the label in style. 

The title track ‘Sound From The Past III’ opens up with a finely filtered chord groove that provides a smooth and hypnotising foundation. A subtle bassline, buoyant kick drums, and embedded vocal patterns harmonise with the synths, unveiling a smooth linear groove that soon sweeps you up. 

‘Fusion’ brings more intensity with its barreling drum kicks, a dirty driving bassline, and melodies flashing by like headlights on an intergalactic motorway, with the overhanging pent-up energy inescapable. Next, ‘Shimmer’ rides on vast, heavy layered drums that are warm, and comforting as the track travels through a journey of diverse dub techno elements. 

Like in ‘Loucura’, taken from ‘Sounds From The Past II’, Lars again showcases his strong influences from Brazilian and Latin music. On ‘Estar Farto’, the drums and bass are tightly interwoven, racing beneath bright and funky synth lines that bring ever-evolving shades of colour. A jazz drummer himself, the music transports into the groove via intelligent brass chord progressions and fine-tuned vocal and percussion elements. 

It’s straight dance floor business on the closing vinyl production ‘Bittersweet’, with its muted synth smears darting over more macho drum programming, while digital bonus ‘Dusty Lick’ is an unrelenting, jazzy, percussion-driven banger that hits hard and heavy in all the right places. 

Lars Huismann’ Sounds From The Past III’ EP drops via Mutual Rytm on 2nd June 2023.

Berlin techno talent Regent is next up on Mutual Rytm as he returns with a compelling new five-track 12" titled 'Coral Knife', plus a digital bonus cut. 

Regent emerged only in 2020, but has fired out quality tunes on Planet Rhythm Records, Arts Collective and Warg Records since then. His already extensive catalogue of standout releases combines tough and rapid grooves with cerebral qualities and a real depth of writing and sound design, resulting in timeless yet avant-garde material optimised for the dance floor. For that reason, he is one of the new forces emerging from the German capital and why his next EP, 'Coral Knife', sees him find a perfect home on SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint as he returns with his first 12” on the label following his appearance on the ‘Federation Of Rhythm II’ compilation earlier this year. 

The tight and funky 'Brickyard' opens with a high-speed groove and a taught synth riff darting about the mix to seductive effect, before 'Driftage' gets more raw with rickety percussion over bulky drums. The synths are dubby and liquid as they get smeared about the mix to bring dynamism to the groove. There is then darkness and heaviness to 'Nocta' with weighty kicks and alluring vocal sounds drifting through the late-night airwaves. Title track 'Coral Knife' cannot fail to sweep dancers off their feet with its fizzing synths and smooth drum loops overlaid with icy hi-hats that get you into a meditative state, while 'Encoder' layers up bleeps and squeaks over a signature linear groove that is detailed with muffled vocals and distant cosmic stars. 

As always with Mutual Rytm, the package rounded out with an impressive digital bonus in the form of 'Multiversa' - a driving and thunderous techno cut that closes the show emphatically. 

Regent ‘Coral Knife’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 6th October 2023.

Second Nature

PREMIERE: Ferdinger - Bottom Lines [LIP008]

DifferentSound Premiere // Cadence & GFX

GFX's "Oldschool vs Newschool" self release album is a two side project. On one hand, he's showcasing a retro & olschool vibe regarding the production and mix down of the tracks, targeting a 90s & 00s style. On the other hand, he tries to show a more actual and comtemporary approach, combining those two production techniques that trace his overall musical journey until today.

"Oldschool vs Newschool " is a project defining GFX's actual and older sound at best, subtly combining his main hard groove influences with hypnotic and ear catching sonorities, as well as his harder influences from the rave scene. He decided to create this album to mark and end to old artistic direction, that has widely evolved after finishing his studies in London. 
As from now on, he'll be only releasing more hardgroovish, hypnotic and mimimalistic productions.
