A respected regular on Figure / Figure SPC, from his timeless creations alongside 
Dimi Angelis, to his stunning three part ‘SPC A’, or his more recent collaboration with Markus Suckut as ‘JSMS’ - the prolific techno producer Jeroen Search returns. 

Encapsulating a trademark sound built from from classic analog hardware, fused with modern production techniques, Search offers up three upfront new tracks, backed with two snaking, distinctly modern remixes by London based techno mainstay Ø [Phase].

What begins as a casual reduced jam then evolves into an ensnaring, tense workout as ‘Momentum’ gathers exactly that - elevating and maintaining the tension. ‘The Future is Ours’ then sees Search at his meanest, with a grating, killer hook winding itself around his perfectly controlled drum machines. Precision tools for the floor from one of the masters of live, party-angled Techno. The digital bonus track ‘Remains’ sees Jeroen in a more subdued zone, working a hypnotic, Millsian line over a carefully reduced drum pattern.

Token records regular and long-running producer Ø [Phase] then remixes ‘Momentum’, turning two tripping, reduced versions leading the focus towards subliminal messages and repetitive structures. Remix 1 takes the main theme and freaks it out, swimming in a glassy pool of snappy percussion, while Remix 2 allows us to get carried away on the polar winds for a more icy, chilling version.

Alan’s new single on Drumcode demonstrates exactly why Alan Fitzpatrick is a powerhouse within the techno scene. ‘The Tetra’ will enrapture the dance floor from the off with it’s brooding nature and syncopated claps. It pushes forwards with glistening highs before more melodic stabs join the equation and slowly the beautiful melodic phrase partakes in this outstanding piece of work. ‘We Are Forever Young’ finishes off the single with a slow burning after hour’s vibe that will keep the clubbers nodding. The third and final track ‘1992’ takes us back and has a tougher more energetic feel to it. With crunchy drums, a melodic synth and a catchy vocal hook this record is another Alan Fitzpatrick masterpiece.

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.

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.

Joris Voorn returns with another sterling release on his Green label. I Ran The Zoo is a lesson in stripped-back contrast and subtlety, with an acidic groove bleeping away over driving percussion and delicate atmospherics in its Digital Version, the tension growing with every thud of the kick drum. A dizzying breakdown raises the bar with snare rolls and dramatic pads, with the wide-open space therein soon sucked back into the void when the beat drops back in.

Meanwhile the special Analog Version harks back to Joris’ techno sound of old. The throbbing kick and bass and acid blips are set against rising, white-noise drenched synth swells and simple percussion to create something moody and tough yet teasingly pared back.

These two heads-down mixes make this release a stark contrast to some of his more melodic, riff-fuelled releases of late, once again demonstrating Joris' endless versatility and shape-shifting abilities.

After solemnly closing out the SPC-series in 2016, Jeroen Search hands in his second EP of the year for Figure. Carrying his signature style, these tunes embody the live-recording feel he is known for, perfectly executed and arranged in clean-cut layers.

Both tracks on the A-side feature big and beefy beats, their generous sub-range creating ample space for the juxtaposing elements to effectively slice through, whether it be the penetrating bleeps of ‘Deduced’ or the piercing rides on ‘Interval’.

Things get bumpy on the flip when the rugged but undeniable groove of ‘Steady Pulse’ firmly stands its ground against repeated onslaughts of flailing percussion. The jolty rhythms and tinkling loops of ‘Endless Circles’ may seem like it being the odd one out, but unexpectedly merge into an intricate mesh of sounds, making for a most memorable closer to this jam-packed EP.

Coming soon.

Track from NE78 Varg2™ & Exploited Body — Etsin Turvaa EP
Out on EP and digital on December 4th.

A collaborative meeting between Varg2™ and Exploited Body has produced a scalding mess of sweat and suspicion across five headstrong tracks, gesturing towards a new and recombinant vector that's lurking out there during hiatus.

Recorded together in Helsinki, 'Etsin Turvaa (Parting is Certain & Loss Will Come Again)' yokes the morbid mechanics of Varg2™'s stroboscopic dread to the pyretic catharsis of Exploited Body's ascendant, club-sourced flares.

The closing track, 'Haunt Me Like the Snakes That Killed You,' offers the smallest respite following the bedlam of 'Fuck You Forever (Parting is Certain & Loss Will Come Again).' The opening pair, 'Karhü' and 'Etsin Turvaa (I Promise this Will Be the Last Time),' spiral out of control from the elegant core that each track's rougher elements are pinned to.

Recorded in Helsinki, Finland in November 2019.
Produced by Varg2™ & Exploited Body.
Mixed by Noah Kin.
Mastered by Neel at EnissLab, Rome.

Artwork by Cali Thornhill Dewitt.
Cover design by Jonas Bard.
