Releases

The award for youngest and most talented producer in the scene is going to Decoder. Therefore we're stoked to release his music on Float. With a 5-track EP called "Moro Safa" Decoder shows his approach on the sci-fi spectrum of techno that blends perfectly with the legacy of the label. Welcome to the future.

Label heads Decoder and Jay York return to Toca with their second release, a split EP titled "Distance". This new collection of tracks aims to resonate with home listeners and DJs alike, offering a profound journey that balances introspective depth with dancefloor functionality. 

“Distance” emerges from the spaces between – the physical and creative distances that have shaped the music crafted by the duo for this release. Despite the miles apart due to their intense touring schedules, they have harnessed their separation as a source of inspiration, resulting in an EP that reflects the nature of their circumstances. While each track has its own unique theme, the tracks share a common motif with minimalistic yet emotive layers of sound that invites listeners to delve into more deeper and introspective ideas. Each piece within the EP exemplifies the artists’ ability to create a sonic bridge that serves as an auditory journal of their experiences.

Tracklist:
A1. Jay York - Peligro
A2. Jay York - En Medio
A3. Jay York - Untouched
B1. Decoder - Falling Flat
B2. Decoder - Riverside
B3. Decoder - I Am Nothing

Decoder & Jay York - Distance [TC02]

Label: Blank Code

Artist: Decoder
Title: Distant Beings
Release Date: Tuesday 28 January 2025
Format: Vinyl & Digital
CAT#: BCR014

01. Missing Sector
02. Strange Interaction
03. Farther
04. Elevation

Blank Code is a Detroit, USA techno outfit that have released music by artists like Bas Mooy, Mike Parker, Brian Sanhaji, DJ Hyperactive, Drumcell, and many more.

The newest Blank Code recruit is Decoder with his 'Distant Beings' EP, a fellow American from Dallas who has gained many devoted supporters from having releases on Jeff Mills' Axis Records, Amotik Records, TWR72's Float, Edit Select Records, Molecular Recordings, and Science Cult, amongst others.

Beginning with "Missing Sector," a dystopian and airy soundscape of captivating rattlesnake hisses and muted tones of melody and suspense amidst a stuttering kick pattern.

"Strange Interaction" follows with an abstract approach overall, but using a solid, rhythmic beat as a pulsing constant. Static crackles create mesmerising textures and light tom drums are met with wandering waves of analogue whispers and skipping hats.

"Farther" introduces deep and looping modular frequencies that dance around in a sci-fi aesthetic. This sublimely hypnotic track has an ethereal quality of patience and draws influence from dubby and atmospheric styling.

Finishing with "Elevation," it instantly has an experimental vibe that seems mysterious and menacing. Cyclical mid tones create a sonic suction before phasing pulses add even more tension to this esoteric adventure.

BCR014 - Decoder - Distant Beings [Previews]

A new year, a new debut artist. This time it’s Rotterdam based Najel Monteiro. His EP Synnabel Lectus 2 is an exploration of the human psyche, pushing the boundaries between inner perception and external reality. With its introspective and experimental approach, this EP contemplates how our understanding of the world is a complex interplay of individual experiences, social influences, and emotional undercurrents. The work emphasizes the fragility and distortion of truth, questioning the solidity of the constructs by which we navigate life.

Diepzeebeest debuts on Float Records with “Detox”. This EP is a sonic translation of inner contradictions: calm versus chaos, stagnation versus movement, and despair versus hope. Each track takes you into a different state of mind and is an introspective journey through the complexity of the human mind, captured in deep, pulsating techno. Let yourself be carried away by the storm and discover the harmony within the chaos.

Some artists emerge from nowhere. Just like Ælyx. Hailing from Germany and still flying under the radar, he makes his debut with Mind Affairs, a four-track EP that explores a unique sonic landscape. While each track takes its own path, they intertwine in an oddly cohesive way. Expect hypnotic loops, unexpected sound choices, and intricate design that keeps you hooked.

Dallas based producer Decoder (@iamdecoder) lands on Delsin with four versatile techno interpretations. From deep and immersive techno hypnotica to emotive electro bliss. It’s a well rounded EP with some type of elegance from a young producer who seems to have been doing this for decades. Decoder’s sound palette is warm and forceful, very direct yet still sensitive.

Decoder - Anutva (DSR-C24)

During a summer journey through Italy, Avant.OCS recorded the textures that surrounded them: whispers of wind, sun-cracked woods, and fragments of nature scorched under a relentless sun. Upon returning home, these organic impressions were fused with modular explorations, blending natural elements with synthetic sound. The resulting EP moves through hypnotic, molten rhythms and raw, tactile atmospheres. Prototype V marks a deepening of Avant.OCS’s pursuit of new sonic ideas, pushing the boundaries of techno while remaining rooted in its essence. Avant.OCS expresses deep gratitude for the opportunity to release the project within a space dedicated to purity and forward motion.

Ana Rs makes her debut on Float Records with Not Yet Born, But Heard, a four-track EP showcasing her distinct approach to techno. This EP serves as a reminder of the genre’s deeper, perhaps even forgotten, side. Each track unfolds like a journey, revealing new elements with every step forward. Expect smart rhythms, pulsating sounds, and immersive layers.

Decoder is an emergent Dallas producer whose 1st appearances arrived in 2021 with a trio of albums, including Dark Shape on Mills’ mighty Axis, followed by further full lengths & numerous EPs on respected imprints such as Holland’s Float, Detroit’s Blank Code, and untouchable techno tastemakers Delsin, plus his own Toca, co-run with NYC-based Jay York, whose similarly hyperactive productivity defines their alliance. Already known across the US thanks to Hawtin’s From Our Minds tour, his worldwide notice is sure to increase with each high-profile release. From Another Star harnesses the stargazing end of his already-alien sound sphere on Vinveli, five tracks of midtempo trips saturated in extraterrestrial atmosphere.  
Cycling bleeps in ‘Gasui’ serve to enforce stasis over motion as he elegantly assembles a dynamic orbital system, with gaseous, evaporating clouds brushed aside to reveal its insistently chugging inner works. Dense, dark, and unstable, ‘Drona’ voyages through the center of a freshly-exploded supernova nebula still expanding rapidly, with deadly detritus flashing past the viewscreens. A rippling, zapping lead carves its way through the center of ‘447’, continuously assuming unfamiliar shapes while rotating elements surrounding it create organic, evolving forms. ‘Standing’ displays the pulsating, eroded tones and sparse percussion touch that defines his style, its midrange a bath of reverb wash while subtle, changeable elements intertwine. Forward movement is almost an afterthought: this is music of drift, a broken warp drive stranded in deep space while anxiety builds throughout the crew. ‘Service’ ends on a more strident tone, an eight-minute epic whose rising momentum blasts its astronauts firmly past our solar system into unsettling isolation.
