Field Records is to release a two-CD compilation and three vinyl samplers of music from the label's artists old and new entitled simply, Collection.

This second sampler pulls together three tracks of deep, dubby and ambient music from French producer duo Polar Inertia, Remote_ and Sweden's Varg. His track 'Ohns Odegard' is a serene and autumnal bit of ambient with swollen pads and incidental synths making for a soothing atmosphere. Remote_'s 'Echo Of You' is just as wide open and serene but has a warm, rubbery pulse driving it along and finally Polar Inertia gets a little frazzled and intense with their loopy slow techno roller 'Sonic Outlaws'.

With more of an emotional focus than symbolic this time, it's clear this one is from Bone's heart. Detroit Is ... Soul, ducks and weaves in the grey area between house and techno; the initial percussion that is brushed over the kick giving more of a house swing than a techno groove. The on/off, cut-and-dry synth chords contrast with the looser fluidity in Here To Stay (Won't Fade Away), and gives a real sense of intent and desire. The real focal point however is the profound vocal that comes swirling over the top, "Detroit is what I love, Detroit is what I need, Detroit is where I'm from, Detroit's the air I breathe?" No explanation necessary

SCHWEFELGELB
Wie die Finger durch den Nebel

Schwefelgelb is the electronic music project of Sid & Eddy. Having carefully straddled the boundaries between Techno, EBM and Electro, the duo is entering 2016 with a 12” release on the new label incarnation of the Berlin based Fleisch collective. Fleisch consists of a group of miscreants known for throwing some of the best curated dark underground dance parties in Berlin, with a focus on sounds ranging from E.B.M., new beat, acid to techno. The metamorphosis of Fleisch into a label could not demand a more fitting debut than Schwefelgelb’s newest sonic discharge. Tight programming, catchy analog synth-bass
coupled with well utilized & frenetic shouted vocals echo the golden age of Electronic Body Music. A refreshing progression of sounds moves the style forward without being afflicted with the formulaic and hollow tendencies befallen similar attempts by others acts over the years.

This latest installment in the Stroboscopic saga once again calls upon the talents of two label veterans; both having released EPs on the label while also contributing to its five-year retrospective series. This new split release shared between Kangding Ray and Rrose is a fitting partnership: after all, both individuals are known for advancing the progress of rhythmic electronic music while drawing from creative influences and movements that weren’t typically associated with the ‘techno’ lineage until these producers made such links possible.
Kangding Ray’s side, “Ardent,” is a gripping and propulsive piece formed in the same spirit as the songs from his latest full-length, Cory Arcane. Dramatic and cinematic from beginning to end, it makes the listener and/or dancer feel like a highly alert martial artist slicing and kicking through a host of liquid-metallic adversaries, with disciplined synth bass and rich melodic swells as defensive weapons. Slick and accessible without ever being conventional, “Ardent” convincingly collages stuttering and minced sequences together with steady percolation and smooth, brassy undertones - three different sonic ‘states of matter’ that unify to make Kangding Ray’s musical
imagination into an almost tactile thing.
The entity known as Rrose, meanwhile, presents a track here that reaffirms that artist’s expert skill at crafting perfectly symmetrical and mesmerizing musical palindromes (a skill that can be seen on other standout Stroboscopic Artefacts tracks like “The Stare,” and also on Rrose’s interpretation of James Tenney’s classic palindrome “Koan [Having Never Written A Note For Percussion]).” The track in question, “Swallows,” is appropriately named, impressing upon listeners like the sonic equivalent of a massive searchlight which, once it lands upon its target, swallows or vacuums up the listener’s conscious attention. This elegantly arching set of multiplying and disintegrating waveforms rewards those with the courage to return its insistent gaze and to “play at maximum” volume to reveal the wealth of detail concealed within its deceptive minimalism.
With its scientific exactness and sheer originality, this split is an essential listen not just for fans of either artist, but also for any seeker after new perceptual revelations.

Codex Recordings is back with brilliant 5 track EP and incredible techno artists on board. The new fire Gunpowder track by Spartaque has been charged by great remixes from Durtysoxxx and Alan Wools. Also we happy to shout that superstar techno duo from UK, Spektre, has made an outstanding remix for previously released Venus Express. Really massive pack! Thanks for your massive support!

02 Spartaque - Venus Express (Spektre Remix)[Codex Recordings]

<p>The boys return to Phobiq in their inimitable style and the title track stomps its way through the door, with a definite nod to chords of old and tasty piano stabs to complete the picture.&nbsp; &#8220;Silhouette&#8221; picks up from there with more diva snippets and frantic claps while haunting arpeggios evolve into electronic beasts.&nbsp; But the real surprise comes in the form of &#8220;Choose Your Poison&#8221; which brings back Old Skool without being Old Skool at all.&nbsp; The affair is firing on all cylinders with menacing synths supporting epic progressions and anthemic vocals going hand-in-hand with a very cheeky riff.</p>

Spektre - Choose Your Poison (Original Mix)

Spektre teams up with Unrilis for the release of “Halcyon,” a brand new track marking another high point in a catalog that has garnered high praise on all fronts thus far. Bringing complexity and state-of-the-art technology to everything the duo of Filthy Rich and Paul Maddox bring to their brainchild Spektre, Umek christened the combined efforts of the partnership as “a bright shining light for the shape and sound of techno to come!” Their new song testifies to the pair’s bold exploration of what is possible in electronic music, as well as asserting that these artists will certainly continue to demand attention everywhere their music gets played.

Halcyon (Original Mix) - Classic tech-house grooves get served with heaps of bone-shaking bass on this track, lifting the heavier-sounding sonic goodness on cavernous synth effects that make for a wild ride everyone can enjoy. Marking an atypical exploration of the genre’s conventions, the song brings interesting forays into high-flying vocal samples and 80s-flavored rhythms, weaving all of the ingredients together into a monster of a song that won’t leave the memories of DJs or listeners anytime soon.
