QUICK PASS CAT PLASTER part. 3 TWELVE HIGHWAYS DIRECTION A BELL

We are pleased to welcome UK based DJ, producer and label owner FLAWS and his mind bending debut EP on MindTrip. His musical approach moves around a spiritual awakening process that leads to a raw, deep yet dancefloor generated pack with four exceptional tracks or in his very own words: ''The Awakening comes in many forms of experiences; some may call these experiences coincidences. Once we grip on to our ways of living we start to understand the subtle integration in all things, our experience starts to open to all possibilities.''- FLAWS
This is MindTrip!

When we started working on the planning of this third chapter of the series, we were looking for an artist with whom there was a special bond, of friendship, affection and respect, but above all young.
We get to the name of FLAWS, an artist who complies with the aforementioned and who is working constantly and meticulously on his productions.
This is how 'Unseen World' was born, a release composed of 5 original tracks, full of strength, mysticism, depth, and faithful to our ideals, a classic groove that blends perfectly with the futuristic proposal of this young English artist.

Our 2 previous editions were absolutely amazing works and with wonderful results, by CRAVO and Albert Chiovenda, in this new installment FLAWS has been up to what we can define as 'elegant sound'

Contrasts have always been very important to ANAØH's philosophy and that is why we once again looked for the Remixers that will participate in the B-side of the physical release to be a mix between young artists who are doing extraordinary things and consecrated artists, unique and whom We owe inspiration, gratitude and respect.
Mark Broom, The Advent, Arthur Robert, Staffan Linzatti, Dig-it are in charge of contributing their wonderful works and particular vision to redesign the original tracks... The result is phenomenal, a balanced release, full of strength, and a special magic based on love that can be created when different generations of talent meet.
Thanks to each of them for believing in the project and making it something wonderful.

Cosmic Harmony EP [K-I013]

MNMT Premiere: FLAWS - Code [Knowledge Imprint]

Knowledge Imprint is proud to welcome another young talent to the roster. Hailing from the UK, FLAWS is fairly new to the scene, but he has already begun cementing himself with a clear vision, purpose and artistic integrity. His passion for music is evident not only through his own productions and DJ sets, but also through his labels that he runs with his likeminded counterparts. 

‘Cosmology’ introduces the EP with dubby textures, dark moods and a chugging rhythm that carries the listener through shades of loopy techno. Subtle percussive shifts are synchronised with a repeating bass stab that gives the track a sense of galloping, forward movement. ‘Principle’ on the other hand is a lesson in restraint. A simple loop comprising of a kick drum and melodic digital percussion repeats throughout, whilst a running white noise hi-hat provides rhythmic diversity in the arrangement. Elegant and minimalistic, the track encourages introspection but could be equally functional for dancefloor moments. 

‘Code’ employs slower tempos to drag you into its depths, this track evokes darker moods with somber pads ebbing and flowing throughout. Similarly, the track’s repetitive nature is countered with hi-hats that spontaneously expand and contract. ‘Structure’ closes the EP with a sense of optimism and release. It’s punchy drums and rhythmic variations are layered with lush pads that sway in and out of an arpeggiated synth melody. 

‘The true art of living in harmony with the earth, fellow humans and the universe is an idea that should be observed with delicate attention. We could have a chance to broaden our nature to understand more clearly what reality consists of.’

Premiere: FLAWS - Hyperlink

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.

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.

Dold - Tumult [FLOAT009]

Tracklist:
1: Dold - Tumult
2: Dold - Tumult (Fisssh Remix)
3: Dold - Sågtand
4: Dold - Sfär

The spectrum of Float Records is again extended with latest signing Dold. Housed in Sweden, this talented new producer delivers three analog pieces of music. Fisssh takes care of the remix to show you his approach. 

The original Tumult starts modest, but builds up to an intense moment of full force, which is supported by minimal yet heavy drums. Fisssh uses his intelligent percussion game to give the original a different direction. With intense filtering and layering he succeeds to flip the originals sequence into a new one. Sågtand almost overrules itself with its sequenced penetrating saw, distorted minimal kicks and clever positioned high hats. This haunting tool let’s no place untainted. Sfär closes the EP in style with a rolling sequence combined with an ongoing soundscape in the background.

Artist: TWR72
Remixer: Endlec
Title: X
Catalog: FLOAT010

A1: TWR72 - X1
A2: TWR72 - X2
B1: TWR72 - X2 (Endlec Remix 1)
B2: TWR72 - X3
Digital bonus: TWR72 - X2 (Endlec Remix 2)

The 10th release of Float Records will be celebrated in style by label owners TWR72. They present you their own new EP called ‘X’. Three original groove monsters supported by an intense and profound remix from Endlec.
 
X1 has a remarkable and outspoken bassline with a slighty ‘back in the days’-feel created by the drums. Slowly the organ theme grows and grows until you get used to it. Heavy hitting claps make sure to keep your attention towards the break. And then… X2 has a driving groove as the main subject. Steered by an almost annoying high pitched pad and later some haunting strings. The real science starts when Endlec works his magic. His unique drum programming and distorted yet sophisticated approach of the elements creates the best remix. X3, the fast groover with a slick bassline, a cheeky synth and jacking drums is perhaps a safe approach. But we guarantee this will work on every dancefloor. As a digital bonus there is another brilliant remix by Endlec. Judge it yourself.

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/deauwd
Title: Adept
Catalog: FLOAT011

Tracklist:
1: Deauwd - Adept
2: Deauwd - 120
3: Deauwd - Duality
4: Deauwd - Litter

Releasedate: 6th of June

It all started with a demo in our mailbox of a 18 minutes long track without a beat. Deauwd was the one who had the balls and confidence to send it. There was no doubt this guy was talented and here we are presenting his debut EP on Float Records: Adept. 

Deauwd his love for techno has translated into a real varied EP. With the 1st track Adept he goes full force with a thump mix of oldskool and minimal elements. No doubt the sequence gets stuck in your head for a long time. 120 is the 2nd track on the EP. This 18 minutes long masterpiece takes you on an atmospheric journey which builds up really slow and subtle. Just in time you can hear the first tones leading to the transformation of the sequence. Then it opens up like a beautiful flower in outer space. Duality on the flip side is the little kooky brother of Adept. Once again a thump mix of oldskool and minimal elements, but this time with a startling arrangement. You never know what to expect next. Last of the bunch is Litter. High BPM, killer bassline, snappy beats and a fantastic sequence. Once again a talented new producer on Float Records! We hope you like it as much as we do.
