With an emphasis on efficiency and function, Los Mekanikos' striking club constructions combine raw hypno-rhythm tracks with pumping, relentless grooves that pay homage to Chicago, Detroit, Berlin, while establishing Mexico City's claim as one of the most emergent Techno/House movements right now.

The first outside artists to release on Sanfuentes' LA-based imprint, Los Mekanikos deliver an electrifying debut for Sanfuentes Records. 
This are certified secret weapons designed for the dancefloor, living up the label's motto of "110%" by stripping back melodic or atmospheric adornments in favor of directing the bodies deep into their rhythmic maze.

Comprised of Mexico City-based producers Max Jones and Eddie Mercury, the duo's partnership is one that thrives on embracing endless tracky grooves and patient arrangements, while winking at you - instilling a sense of playfulness and lightness throughout. This is no po-faced stripped down techno record, but rather mischievously grinning and funky.

The anthemic opener and title track "Tacha Tacha" sets the EP's tone. The directness and simplicity of Los Mekanikos is on full display here with the drum work and bass guiding most of the track. 
Sanfuentes' remix for "Tacha Tacha" pulls back the original's visceral drive into a steady bounce - padding it with electric synth lines and letting it simmer until the air gets rarefied. 
Raw rhythm jack tracks and hiccuping vocal samples throughout "Pussyca" equate to total house madness, squarely splitting the difference between Phuture and Rebolledo. 
The EP's relentless closer "Viene Viene" further explores the duo's penchant for relentless insanity, utilizing an ear-tickling melodic ring and a wobbling disco groove to maximum effect.

Sanfuentes Records proudly brings you the mental mechanics of "Los Mekanikos"

The product of a songwriting duo in the rich tradition of Tiga/Hulkkonen and Tiga/McCartney, “Stay Cool" marks a return of sorts to the classic Tiga sound, which is now the modern Tiga & Clarian sound. The kinda-underground acid techno grooves and magnanimously biting lyrics paint a picture so contemporary it threatens to make you live in the moment for the rest of your life.

What began organically with Clarian contributing material and production to Tiga’s 2016 No Fantasy Required LP has evolved into a contractually-mandated partnership. Having already worked with the likes of Jamie Principle, Felix Da Housecat and Guy Gerber, the Montreal-born musician is no stranger to “the hot collab," but was still taken aback by the rigorously enforced freedom he enjoyed during the "Stay Cool” sessions. “Tiga will be the first to tell you he has no ego in the studio, and in my experience that is the absolute truth,” says Clarian. “Every idea I have, every part I write, we split the credit right down the middle.”

“Stay Cool” is a real-time disintegration of the boundaries between Tiga’s public passion for music and his private obsession with digital entertainment currencies like Quarthonium Bronze and LavaBucks. “It occurred to me that what I could not stop myself from doing - typing 'HOLD YOUR POSITION' over and over in my crypto group chat - also served as an apt illustration of my heroic lifelong wrestling match with the idea of cool. And this epiphany has opened up my experience into a 360-degree panorama of creative possibility,” enthuses Tiga. “Soon, I'll be haggling over blueberries at the farmer’s market and Clarian will instantly turn in into the sound of the summer, whether you like it or you love it."

"You’re So Special” emerged from the songwriting team sitting around the drum machine in shirtsleeves with a pot of piping-hot coffee, waiting for piping-hot inspiration to strike. The lyrics ably grapple with the now, openly wondering about the direction of bleeding-edge compassion. “You see it everywhere, from airport bookstores stocked with variations on The Art of Not Giving a Fuck to airline pilots taking time off to work on themselves mid-flight,” hectors Tiga, wagging his finger for needed emphasis. “I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but what I also don’t pretend to have is patience for those who pretend to do.”

He walked with a sense of pride and held his head high as he wandered amidst the tall corridors. The smiling, awkward faces on either side of the hallway did not unnerve him for this day had been coming for a long while. They were not his friends, merely people whom he had worked alongside. He was the greater good and the rest were fraudulent and phoney - they knew little of the truth and cold reality which lay beyond their official building. He on the other hand was woke, a new man with a breath of fresh air in the morning and a belief in his own perspective. One day they might remember him and his political view, Boyd was his name but for now he was a nobody amidst a broken machine. 

Freerange is a record label which doesn't always receive the respect and admiration it deserves. The longstanding imprint has released a sprawling across decades and shows no sign of slowing down. The latest EP from the label features the German duo of Manuel Tur and Adrian Hoffmann operating under the guise of Clavis as they release a new three track record purpose built for the clubs with a distinctive edge and a deep undercurrent.

@tomdemac is no stranger to us, with well-played releases on Hypercolour, Electronique Audio and Glasstable, we were happy to offer him a home with Kompakt in 2018 thanks to a collaboration with Real Lies titled “White Flowers”. Tom returns to Kompakt, this time solo with the 3 tracker “Serenade” .

The title track is delicately brought together by a fragile piano rhythm and poetic wisdom over the might of the kick drum. Tom says its best that “Despite it being a little generic adding spoken word talking about music over actual music, the poetic nature of the delivery and description of the effects and emotions that music can bring, really worked with the piano I had written for this song.”

“Seventh Sign” was initially intended an experiment in cello recordings through an effects pedal but ended up being track brimming with pure techno groove. Second Skin is the perfect finale embracing epic elements of broken beat and even IDM sensibilities with a gorgeously misguided horn leading the march.

On Serenade, Tom Demac shows he has what it takes to reconfigure the vitality of what emotive techno can be. A central force that has kept the beat of Kompakt’s heart in rhythm since day one.

Set to release on BMG on the 26th of February, Dense & Pika's new album provides an insight into the artistic skills of Chris and Alex and marks a new chapter for their Dense & Pika project with a selection of tracks taking a more leftfield trajectory. Following a string of single releases from the LP over the past few months, we're excited to host their track ‘Hidden’, featuring Igor Cavalera, in front of tomorrow's full outing. Excellent and growling big room material from the Kneaded Pains head honchos.

When Hell launched his International Deejay Gigolos Empire in 1996, his rebellious creative streak gave the label a punk DIY aesthetic. An open-ended techno imprint with a natural pop sensibility, Gigolo immediately stood out and attracted like-minded artists such as Fischerspooner, Vitalic, Miss Kittin and the Hacker, Tiga, even the Pet Shop Boys, Jeff Mills and Dopplereffekt. Today, Gigolo in Berlin is to Hell what the Factory in New York was to Warhol.
