6. Bendtsen & Alan Murphy - Beirut Calling (Original Mix) **PREVIEW**

Newest addition to the pack, Peter Groskreutz, delivers a rolling and driving slammer of a remix with his signature Peter psy twisty tops and relentless darkside groove that captures you hook line and sinker from start to finish. With an extended breakdown that puts the original introductory march from White Rabbit on display, and resonant leads that lead you happily into the world of the mad (because of course, we are all mad here), this remix truly shows Peter’s chops, and stands as one of his best he’s yet.

Crescendoll - Chasing Rabbits Feat. Leah Ludwig (Peter Groskreutz Remix) PREVIEW

This release is pure fire from 2 masters of the dark grooves. @carbon delivers 2 outstanding techno tunes that drive you to MADNESS with RIDICULOUS arps and gangster driving bass. To top it off, dark lord himself, @maksim-dark , did a very tasty remix of 'Madness' in his signature minimal style sprinkled with satisfying overtones. This is one hot release and the Shadow Wulves are howling over here!

We are absolutely thrilled and honoured to be releasing this epic mini album from longtime label contributor Sonic Jay, as it celebrates the artist's 20 years of professional activity in the scene. 'Universal Religion' is a truly personal release, whose 6 captivating creations come together in a cohesive whole that transcends individual genre barriers. Sonic Jay expertly explores the minimal, progressive, hypnotic and subtly psychedelic aspects of the Techgnosis Records aesthetic with masterful ease. 'Universal Religion' is already slated to become an all-timer, so dive in deep!

Pecadora - FRANÇA

"Murdered a Rock" is a high-energy tech house weapon built around iconic Muhammad Ali vocals, driving basslines, and hypnotic percussion. Packed with punchy grooves, crisp hats, and rolling low-end pressure, it’s designed to ignite peak-time dance floors. The raw swagger of Ali’s words collides with underground rhythms for a track that’s equal parts attitude and adrenaline.
