Machine is a club night championing new & upcoming techno, founded in 2011 by UK techno heavyweights Ben Sims & Kirk Degiorgio.
 
Since it’s inception the guys have hosted 6 parties in London as well as editions at El Row Barcelona, Fabrik Madrid, Trouw Amsterdam, Berghain Berlin and more; Machine has set a precedent for booking only high quality and forward thinking guests - such as Robert Hood, Surgeon, Kevin Saunderson, Rolando, Adam X, Untold, A Made Up Sound, Luke Slater, Oscar Mulero, James Ruskin and many more, encouraging all to break away from their comfort zones to follow the Machine theme of new and unreleased music, with stunning results. 
  
This September, Machine presents a very special lineup – 2 rooms, 4 DJs, each playing an long sets over Corsica Studio’s famous Funktion-1 rigs.
 
Joining Ben & Kirk are 2 of their current fave party rockers… RØDHÅD has made a name for himself as one of Berlin’s most forward thinking DJs. His reputation is of playing seamless sets of Techno & House - while keeping the mood deep and powerful. His recent Boiler Room set is regarded as one of the best shows in the series yet. Also worth checking is this mnmlssg article on him: http://mnmlssg.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/ssg-special-rdhad.html 
 
ROD is an alias of Rotterdam based House stalwart Benny Rodrigues, famed for his peak time sets that see him drop everything from jacking Chicago House to Detroit machine funking Techno plus hosting a series of ROD NACHT events where he plays all night long. As an recording artist he has contributed to Ben Klock's Klockwork label, Chris Liebings CLR, Adam Beyers Drumcode and Slams Soma, so it's fair to say he's certainly a DJs favourite with his studio work too. 
 
Machine resident & curator Ben Sims plays a very special extended DJ set after the UK debut of his live set at the July party. Known for his intensity and dextrous skill on the decks, he has built a deserved reputation as one of the UK’s most in-demand and respected techno producer and DJs. 
 
Fellow Machine resident and co-founder Kirk Degiorgio completes the lineup. With decades of experience in the UK scene, Kirk is commonly acknowledged as the first high-profile DJ to move completely to using Ableton and in September he'll be digitally dropping a 4 hour set of new Techno, featuring a wealth of upcoming material from his ART label and of course forthcoming gems from the man himself.

Egbert has been dazzling us with the speed at which he seems to have skyrocketed to being one of the world's top players in the techno scene. Within a short period of time he has managed to create a rapidly growing fan base who have all been avidly waiting for him to release an album for some time now. This November Egbert will finally be releasing ‘Warm’ on Secret Cinema's Gem Records.

With powerful pumping main room techno such as ‘Haasten’ and ‘Straktrekken’ under his belt but also melodic and somewhat minimal sounding techno, Egbert creates a broad spectrum of music within his own signature sound. So which direction did he go on Warm?

The album takes you on a trip through Egbert’s vision of melodic techno. Well produced and euphoric but without stepping in to known territory. In his own words: ‘One thing I often miss at techno parties is warmth. I would like to bring that back to techno’. While his live sets are usually filled with percussion and rhythm, this album compiles the tracks that bring warmth to his set. We also get a taste of Egbert’s raw side with the powerful pumping grooves and punishing dark basslines on ‘Tegno’ and ‘Shulgin’. There’s even a new flavour added to the versatile producer’s palate with the trippy ambient sounds of ‘Ondergronds’ and ‘Trip’.

After hearing Egbert’s first EP ‘Stroom’ on Myspace, Jeroen ‘Secret Cinema’ Verheij was quick to snatch up Egbert and take him under his wing. ‘He came walking into my studio with hundreds of brilliant tracks that only needed some polishing up’ says Verheij. After that Egbert released ‘Magie’ which was one of Sven Väth’s favourites for 2009 and made it onto Cocoon’s ‘Sounds of the 10th Season’. Suddenly, Egbert was a new player on the worldwide techno scene. Four years and many huge EPs and remixes later, his album is finally here! 

 
‘Warm’ emerges with the delicate, rolling rhythms and pads of opening track ‘Fonkel’ that stretches out across eight minutes of expansive, emotional landscape before the ‘Magic Night’ tightens up the beats before going deeper into the darkness and the previously mentioned ‘Shulgin’ pulses ever further into the night. ‘Hemelpoort’ brings us back towards the light with shimmering chords as does the more driving yet eloquent ‘Leven’ with ‘Machtig’ proving a slow builder that really hits its stride in the middle. Finally the album disappears into the ether with the atmospheric resonance of ‘Trip’, showcasing another string to Egbert comforting, radiant production.

Gem Records have a big phat release lined up with new kid on the block Enrico Sangiuliano! A proper high quality techno release to end 2013 with a bang…


Enrico Sangiuliano has been on the Italian scene since 2003. Over the years he managed to work his way up through the ranks performing at Italy’s largest stages and hosting his own club night ‘TECH’. Many of his own unreleased tracks became club hits through his own performances. In recent years he has started putting his releases out into the international techno scene with releases on Alchemy, Octopus and Truesoul to name a few. So what can you expect from his release on Gem? 

The EP is a double A-side with two amazing tracks. First up is Groove Mission which combines a powerful pumping groove with industrial noises and percussion echoing through a huge reverb. The track is simply dripping with excellent production skills. Thumping bass and crisp highs manage to leave room to make this big room techno sound warm and cosy.  

Next up is Stone Cock which according to Sangiuliano refers to ‘a huge stone monolith he imagines rising up from earth into space’. The track definitely sounds like it came from another planet with a repetitive bleep as the main feature of the track and trippy laughter in the break. Again a powerful groove drives the track and menacing sounds are expertly wrapped over the top. Scary shit!

Enrico Sangiuliano’s Groove Mission EP will hit stores December 23rd 2013.

Harvey McKay starts his next single using a killer vocal hook and heavy-duty synth stabs to full effect, conjuring up more of Harvey’s unique style with ‘Silk Road’. The second track ‘Slip’ uses ghostly pads that float over the top of a crisp, chuggy kick drum combining two different qualities before welcoming the percussive synth blips into the mix. The third and final track ‘Start Running’ is chuggy and uses a mesmerising bass loop to draw a dancefloor in. The vocal stabs sit nicely on top before the lead vocal gives the track character and definition.

Adam Beyer has produced an incredibly strong EP. The first track on the EP, Eye Contact, uses rhythmic vocal stabs to give it an infectious rhythm and groove. The second track, Raspberry Cave, uses a melodic synth-line and pad to create a dark, absorbing roller. On the digital release, another further two tracks have been added. Salvage Dub uses a funky bass line and rhythmic chords to full effect to gain the club’s attention. Cosa Mira, rounds of the EP by using percussion to construct an energetic rhythm with the help of some dreamy stabs to create a moody characteristic.

Fractious, known for his on the money modern loop-techno and JC Williams, known for his quality old school analogue Chicago and Detroit sound make for an interesting production duo. Their first appearance together on Inflyte Records with remixes from Gem’s own Remy Unger and ROD infused the styles of both producers perfectly. Their follow up EP on Gem Records has three originals from the Belfast based lads that make for a diverse EP.

After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam's stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo's that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks on each, both consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode's core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

From being label mates on Drumcode to becoming studio partners was only a matter of time for Adam Beyer and Joseph Capriati. That time finally came when they found themselves with some downtime in Stockholm following the Drumcode Christmas party. Having shared the DJ booth on many occasions, often playing back-2-back sessions, the pair have proven the musical connection between them is a potent one. Title track, Congenial Endeavor sums up this bond, not just in meaning but also by the resolute yet emotive styling of the content, which treads a line between the playful melodies, and primal rhythms that characterize the music of both producers. Rubicon operates within a similar ballpark, delivering hard for those seeking bombastic techno while also making room for a little cerebral depth via the intricately structured atmospherics. Family Matters provides an alternative angle; slowing the BPM’s, working up a warm, hypnotic bassline and teasing out strings to create a low-slung groover that oozes late-night wonkiness.

Pig & Dan are no strangers when it comes to high profile releases on labels such as Cocoon, Bedrock, and Soma etc. After moving to Mallorca a couple of months ago and some dinners together, Christian asked them to make a release for Tronic. " 'On Edge' is all about simplicity and phat groove. I played it out at Enter @ Space Ibiza to Womb in Tokyo, and this track always take me by surprise. Its super low bass and outrageously good production really makes it stand out in my sets. Sometimes less is more, and here we have a classic example of a simple bad ass groove doing the business.'Reka' on the other hand is more to the point with peaktime stabs massive subs. An obvious track for the bigger floors. I have also road tested this track and am really pleased with the floor reactions.I am very happy that Pig & Dan have delivered such a well balanced EP and welcome them to the Tronic family :)"
