There’s no room to argue, Joseph Capriati has enjoyed his finest year to date and his escalation as one the principle profiles in techno knows no boundaries. 

The Napoli-born firebrand has just completed a stunning season in Ibiza as a resident of Marco Carola’s Music On at Amnesia. Anyone who caught him play the main room this season will agree – his special ability to combine an infectious stage presence, with razor sharp DJ skills draws techno fans to dancefloor like bees to a honey pot. No wonder island legend Carola’s handpicked him to perform on 8 separate occasions, more than any other artist this season. 

Combine this momentum with an outstanding 2013 that already saw him headline his first coast-to-coast tour of the US, play a historic 12 hour set at the Metropolis in Napoli, plus headline every major techno festival on the planet, the time couldn’t be better for Capriati to unleash ‘Self Portrait’, his sophomore LP. 

Already ingrained in the consciousness of techno lovers this year thanks to ‘Fratello’ and ‘Awake’ the pair of searing dancefloor slayers that were released in June as the album’s first singles, ‘Self Portrait’ goes deeper than the club stormers the Italian is famed for. Over 11 future-facing tracks, Capriati displays his deft production skill to supersede his reputation for bodyslamming dancefloors. 

Tracks such as ‘Electrolytic’, the album’s atmospheric opener evokes mood with a barrage of steely synths, gritty drums and industrial beats, while ‘Self Portrait’, the typically reflective album title track is an understated ambient gem led by warm trickles of melody that pairs nicely with ‘Naked’ which exhibits the producer’s deft skills for moulding sparse stripped back minimal that kicks along with cheeky vox and shuffling percussion. 

He further reinforces his ability to create addictive club rollers with the quirky, squiggly groover ‘Easy Come Easy Go’, while the masterful ‘Basic Elements’, chugs along with rattling industrial percussion before giving way to a sublime wall of melody that’s just the kind of genius fare that gets his diehard fans raising Italian flags inscribed with ‘JOSEPH CAPRIATI KING OF TECHNO’ regularly at this gig. And with an album this good, who are we to argue?

Florence-based producer GgDeX steps onto Junked Groove with his EP “No Name”. Across three tracks, he channels the raw energy of his techno roots: two peak-time weapons packed with grit and acidic bite, built to push dancefloors into overdrive. Balancing the intensity, the closing cut shifts gears into refined deep house — a warm, hypnotic groove, perfect for sun-drenched terraces and easy-going daytime radio.

Originally from Hannover, Mat.Joe are up next on Hot Trax with a release that is straight up raw techno at it’s best.

German production duo delivers two killer new tracks for a great Hottrax double-header. Nonstop Nonsense is a massive barnstormer of a track, that’s been massive for Jamie Jones; it’s a bit of a beast! Dat Cream is a refreshing bass driven rib rattler of a track grabbing you by the scruff of the neck and shaking you senseless.

Joining forces to create a formidable duo are best friends Matze and Johannes. After bonding over a mutual love for hip-hop, breakdance and skateboarding they soon started to produce music together. Having previously released on Defected, Snatch!, Gruuv and OFF Recordings among others, this release is their debut on the grittier Hot Trax imprint.

Madrid based DJ and producer Dennis Cruz delivers two dance floor focussed house cuts on Solid Grooves this October.

A mainstay in the house and techno community, Dennis Cruz has consistently delivered high quality material on Stereo Productions, Snatch! and Suara to name but a few, garnering support from the likes of Marco Carola, Jamie Jones and Nic Fanciulli. This reputation has earned him a number of awards, including winning Best Producer in this year's DJ Awards, not to mention nominations for Best Spanish Artist, Best Producer and Best DJ from Vicious in 2016. Dennis Cruz' success in the industry continues this October with a busy touring schedule, featuring multiple performances at this year's ADE, as well as his return to Solid Grooves Records with 'Rock & Roll EP'.

'Rock & Roll' opens the release with a rumbling low end and grooved drum loops, allowing exciting snare rolls to build towards an inspiring vocal and hypnotic mid-range motifs before 'Get Ready' uses a vocal with more musicality which interacts the melodic bass hook, rising synth rhythms and shimmering hi hats to close out the release smoothly.

Madrid native Alvaro AM releases on Hottrax Records with two original productions built for the dance floor this November. 

After releases on MOOD Records, Material and more recently Loco Dice’s Desolat, Alvaro AM’s unique rhythms and basslines have received support from the likes of Marco Carola, Paco Osuna and Nicole Moudaber. ‘Rhythm Breaker’ is his next release and lands on the Hot Creations sub-label to continue establishing his reputation as a fresh and captivating producer. 

Alvaro instantly grabs our attention with ‘Rhythm Breaker’ as a pulsating low-end swells with rolling percussion before chopped vocal samples and synthesised variations evolve throughout. ‘Elastic’ effortlessly builds intensity with snare rolls and subtle melodies whilst a suitably elastic bass hook expands beneath well composed drum loops to close the release.

Kittball welcome Raumakustik who join forces with Andrew Meller for a tasteful two tracker that hits hard.

Raumakustik are based in Dresden, much like Kittball, and is a duo with an incredible decade in the game behind them having delivered searing tech house on labels such as Hot Creations, Safe Music and Sola. Now for the next release, they get collaborative with Andrew Meller, a new school talent making waves with his own signature bustling house production, which have been picked up by the likes of Saved and Glasgow Underground. Between them they really cook up some serious house heat on ‘The Funk EP'.

'The Funk' kicks off with rib-rattling kick drums that reverberate the earth, a trippy synth sequence then grows in the mix and becomes the main focus during an atmospheric break down. 'Melodica' offers a different mood with its loose beats and glitchy hands claps all finished off with a freaky lead line.

Raumakustik & Andrew Meller ‘The Funk EP’ drops on Kittball on 11th October.
