PREMIERE: Rare Mamba - Solar Atix (PŌNKY Remix) [ICT005]

KÖNIG - Slave to the Machine

LUCRE returns with Obsidian EP, a three-track descent into the raw, uncompromising core of his sound. Across Obsidian, Tokyo 82, and Pressure Point, LUCRE delves deeper into darker techno territories where distortion, tension, and atmosphere converge into something both relentless and precise.

Continuing his evolution toward a more stripped, visceral aesthetic, Obsidian EP captures the intensity of the underground while exposing new emotional depths beneath the surface. Each track feels like a fragment of shadow, refined yet chaotic, mechanical yet human.

Obsidian EP stands as a testament to LUCRE's ongoing dedication to the craft, discipline, and spirit that define techno at its most authentic.

Blawan -  What You Do With What You Have

Since his first record dropped in 2010, UK producer Blawan has been gradually rewriting the techno rulebook while making hardware mayhem as one half of Karenn and dropping solo releases on labels like Hessle Audio, Clone, R&S and his own Ternesc imprint. However, despite all that activity, he's somehow never released a full-length album – until now. The highly anticipated 'Wet Will Always Dry' LP is slated to arrive on June 18, but ahead of that we debuted the ominous sounds of "Stell" on First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Ferdinger - Euphoria EP [LIP003]
Release date: 31/01/2020
Tracklist:
A1 Vertigo
A2 Vertigo (Raär Remix)
B1 St. Nimmerlein
B2 St. Nimmerlein (Trudge Remix) 
B3 Auftrieb

Ferdinger’s third release is a statement of intent for his now Paris based ‘Life In Patterns’ label: Streamlined harmonies and fast-paced tempi provide for high-octane techno tracks, the intense atmosphere yet at times being contrasted by rich and blissful moments of ambient flavoured calm. The 5 track EP also features remixes by Raär and Trudge.

Ghost In The Machine - Breaking The Seal (Perc Trax)

@EtappKyle returns to Ostgut Ton with ‘Nolove’, a project encompassing a four-track EP, short film and forthcoming web exhibition focusing on Western Ukraine. Specifically, the music and artwork home in on the cities of Kamianets-Podilskyi and Chernivtsi in Bukovina, where Etapp Kyle grew up and developed his interest in electronic music.

Although now part of Ukraine, Bukovina had previously been part of Moldova, the Habsburg Empire, the Russian Empire, Romania and the Soviet Union. Its turbulent history and position on the border of Romania and Moldova have resulted in an extremely varied tapestry of cultural influence, as featured in the video for title track “Nolove”. There, youth, fashion, music culture sit side-by-side next to religion, violence and war – and larger political struggles.

The EP gives shape to the musical developments Etapp Kyle has made in both the studio and DJ booth since the release of 2017's ‘Alpha’, his latest 12" for Ostgut Ton. In contrast, Nolove's four tracks are minimalistic, detailed electronic ventures inspired by personal reflections on Chernivtsi and Ukrainian cultural identity. Forward-facing in rhythm and melody, the EP offers meticulously-produced leftfield dancefloor impressions of the region’s past, present and future.
