HARDPROOF VA07

IMF015 Tarkno vs The Sixth Sense - Past Voices EP

HARDPROOF VA08

The HARDPROOF VA series returns with more techno from a mix of the next generation alongside the finest pioneers. 

Swiss artist Unconformist serves up 'Path of Light.' Driven by pounding rhythms and electrified with crackling synths, it brims with soulful glitches and an urgent, almost fatalistic energy. Then comes rising Paris-based talent Alys LF with 'Yesterday,’ which pits shimmering, bright melodies against a relentless techno backbone and the contrast grows ever more urgent.

LPV is a Sicilian who mixes up EBM, industrial, dub and acid. His 'Eclipsed Thoughts' is all tight synth loop with no resolution while thudding kicks and subtle percussion brings menacing funk. Another Italian, SLV, has been deep in the scene for a decade. His 'Argent Fracture' is a timeless, dubbed-out and heavyweight classic that fizzes with synth soul. Invexis is Munich's 20-year veteran Georg Köhler and his 'Celebrity Algorithm' is raw and rough around the edges with a snarling, distorted bassline. It's an anxious, high-strung groove. 

HARDPROOF VA09 is another irresistible collection of high-quality techno that bridges the past, present and future of the genre.

As 2022 concludes, Marcel Fengler opens a new career chapter with the announcement of ‘10 Years IMF’, an inspiring compilation that marks a decade of his influential label Index Marcel Fengler.  A “heart project” two years in the making, the work showcases 12 cuts from artists across the generations exclusive to the compilation, and in-line with the imprint’s ethos, unites established and emerging artists. At the same time, true to Fengler’s own vision, it presents productions that span the full breadth of the techno genre – whether it be funky, elegant, industrial, atmospheric or broken beat, right through to the harder techno variety, ’10 Years IMF’ stands as Fengler’s personal manifesto of techno and the artistic possibilities of the genre.

10 YEARS IMF

10 Years IMF Taster - mixed by Marcel Fengler

Belgian artist Milo Spykers is first out of the traps for 2022, with his ‚Hier & Nu’ EP (complete with a remix from Fengler) delivering a four-track punch of modern techno. Spyker’s use of dense synths across the EP imbue his tracks with a memorable character that leaps out of the speakers. 

From the jagged and oppressive leads of ‘Hier & Nu’ to the outright anthemic riffs of ‘The Helicity’ via the cascading stabs of ‘Happex’, the ‚Hier & Nu’ EP is a boisterous work of controlled chaos. Fengler’s remix of ‘Hier & Nu’ extracts Spyker's synths, and with clinical precision, reconstructs them around a lean, muscular rhythm track that oozes tension. 

'Milo is a very talented young producer. He’s got an uncompromising taste in techno and that convinced me that he’s both a DJ and producer I want to support. I’m really happy to welcome him to the IMF Family.’ (Marcel Fengler, Jan 2022)

Featured on Fengler´s ‘Berghain 05‘ mix, ‘Sphinx‘ takes a straighter path into the kind of sensory techno that Marcel is well known for presenting on the Berghain floor. Funky, playfully aggressive, heavily defined and certainly cosmic, a concerto of outer-space tones, static and filtered waves join the racing percussion in tense unison.

The churning ten minute adventure of ‘Hidden Empire‘ begins its rumbling ascent in the paranoid depths of Fengler's more subversive electronic language. Fusing the attitude of punk with the metallic ring of industry, its lively synth play and heavy forward stomp make this a challenging and indeed rewarding find.

'The VS Theme' moves into driving 4/4 mode, while maintaing Echoplex's rich sound palette, warm Detroit-vibes keys and full-spectrum high-end production.

Hessler continues to explore his apparent love for sinister synth lines on 'Perception', a classic late-night techno piece with its roots firmly in the German rave scene. Elegantly programmed drums lift the tension and recede into the shadows in another highlight of this versatile and musical EP.

Going for impact and stand-out sound design, VRIL offers 'Thronwagen' - a mesmerising arrangement of synth layers, classic Techno stabs and overlapping themes. Already well-known for his powerful drums and bottom end control, this more musical piece goes a long way to showcase some of the German producer's many other talents.

Label co-ordinator Marcel Fengler drops ’Scion' on the A1, a non-typical, deeper House-influenced jam with a floating, mind-melting soft-focus. Abstract, crafty Techno meets classic Sunday-afternoon vibes in this unique offering.

Marcel Fengler's agenda-setting HARDPROOF series returns to his IMF label with another well-curated mix of forward-thinking techno. The superb sixth edition features the sounds of Steve Redhead, Audloklinik, The Sixth Sense, vrov and a collaboration between OGUZ and STEYA. Few artists do hard groove and tribal techno like Swiss-born Audioklinik, another veteran who has been shaping the underground since the '90s with countless chart-topping tracks and important DJ residencies. His enthralling 'Serendipity' skates along the surface with shimmering percussive patterns and flat, forceful kicks. Tripped-out motifs up top provide wild hooks as this tribal wall of techno sweeps up everything in its path.

BCCO Premiere: Audioklinik - Serendepity [IMFHP06]

Marcel Fengler's agenda-setting HARDPROOF series returns to his IMF label with another well-curated mix of forward-thinking techno. The superb sixth edition features the sounds of Steve Redhead, Audioklinik, The Sixth Sense, vrov and a collaboration between OGUZ and STEYA.

The five previous editions of this series have established it as a vital resource for those who like their techno skilled and uncompromising. It's offered a wealth of timeless tracks from carefully sought-out artists, all of whom fit with the label's mission to platform next generation stars and enduring innovators while also chiming perfectly with the signature sound of Fengler's own groove-driven sets.
Steve Redhead brings a veteran's touch after more than 20 years at the forefront of the scene. He has worked under various aliases and put 40+ EPs that never do the same thing twice. Here he offers 'Even Ears' which is a serious wedge of tightly-programmed concrete funk run through with evolving synth lines. They make for a dynamic, ever-shifting atmosphere of suspense peppered with moments of subtle release.

The IMF label closes out a superb 2024 with another vital collection of essential techno sounds curated by founder Marcel Fengler. HARDPROOF VA 07 once again follows its vision, bringing together the techno stars of tomorrow with some of the genre's most consistently innovative pioneers. Malta's Human Safari is first up and is an emerging star who blends hard groove, tribal and fizzing energy in his music. His 'Sunset in 93' is magnificently designed linear techno with fluttering percussive lines and swirling pads adding detail to the drums. There's an exotic but unsettling edge to the jazzy melodies that will keep dancers on their toes.

HARDPROOF VA 07 once again follows its vision, bringing together the techno stars of tomorrow with some of the genre's most consistently innovative pioneers. Frankfurt mainstay Michael Klein is next and brings a lifetime's experience of the city's legendary clubs which colour his sounds next to a love of straightforward and dubby rhythms. 'Hot Pot Smell' is big, muscular techno with raved-up piano stabs and a pulsing bassline. Chopped vocal fragments and oversized hi-hats all add to the irresistible sense of motion.

HARDPROOF VA 07 once again follows its vision, bringing together the techno stars of tomorrow with some of the genre's most consistently innovative pioneers. Felicie is shaping modern techno on many different fronts: the Amsterdam-based Frenchwoman has hosted her own Fastgroove Klub project at Rex Club and dropped her hugely intense signature sounds on the likes of Exhale and Mord. Her fantastic 'Komodo' rides on dubbed-out drum loops with scruffy kicks and mind-melting percussive patterns adding to the intensity. It's fast but nuanced and packed with deft designs.

Four Four Premiere: Felicie - Komodo [Index Marcel Fengler]

Index Marcel Fengler unearths another Berlin-forged gem with a debut release for Somewhen. Following an impressive pair of EPs on his own Sana imprint, label boss Marcel Fengler was quick to invite the newcomer to the IMF family. Following a pair of head turning performances on line-ups alongside Fengler at his Berghain home, the time has come for IMF 05 to bring Somewhen’s talents to wider attention 

A-side cut ‘Dain’ is a stripped down techno trip engineered for dancefloors at dawn: a siren call to the club’s most battle hardened heads, its subtle machinations will prove deadly in the right DJ’s hands. Over on the B-side, ‘Aula’ is the EP’s more unpredictable beast, its rougher rave edges rounded off by a rich bass synth and enigmatic vox pads that give the track an unsettling air as it nears its conclusion. XJ closes the EP with an insistent slice of acid with Somewhen’s own playful modern twist.

First up the pair offer the muscular bounce of 'Past Voices' with rattling percussive grooves, dusty drums and tunnelling synths that drive on with inescapable force.

Track Bio:
Marcel Fengler's HARDPROOF VA series returns with more techno from a mix of the next generation alongside the finest pioneers. SLV, who is Berlin-based and has been cooking up hard-edged sounds that mix early influences with contemporary flair for more than a decade. His 'Argent Fracture' is a timeless, dubbed-out and heavyweight classic that fizzes with synth soul. Smart filters keep things moving while the fast drums keep dancers firmly locked and hi- hats ramp up the pressure.

Marcel Fengler's HARDPROOF VA series returns with more techno from a mix of the next generation alongside the finest pioneers. Swiss artist Unconformist is inspired by the rugged beauty of his homeland. He pairs that with avant-garde sound designs that marry darkness and euphoria. He always lands on vital labels and now serves up 'Path of Light.' Driven by pounding rhythms and electrified with crackling synths, it brims with soulful glitches and an urgent, almost fatalistic energy that grips you from the first beat and refuses to let go.

Premiere: Unconformist "Path Of Light"- IMF

Artist: Invexis
Mastering by: Paul Mac @hardgroovemastering
Artwork by: rob___zer

Marcel Fengler's HARDPROOF VA series returns with more techno from a mix of the next generation alongside the finest pioneers. Invexis is Munich's Georg Köhler, a 20-year veteran who shaped the early 2000s sound with classic cuts that are driving and dynamic. He is back on top form following his hiatus with 'Celebrity Algorithm', which is raw and rough around the edges with a snarling, distorted bassline. Its anxious, high-strung groove is detailed with caustic percussion and ghostly vocal fragments flicker across the mix to heighten the paranoid, pressure-cooker atmosphere.

Premiere: Invexis - Celebrity Algorithm [IMFHP09]

Marcel Fengler's HARDPROOF VA series returns with more techno from a mix of the next generation alongside the finest pioneers. French talent Alys LF, who continues to make her mark in Paris with her musical storytelling. She's dropped several stylish EPs that collide hardgroove and techno and her superb 'Yesterday’ pits shimmering, bright melodies against a relentless techno backbone and the contrast grows ever more urgent. The result is a wild, propulsive ride that's as emotionally stirring as it is physically unyielding.

Marcel Fengler's HARDPROOF VA series returns with more techno from a mix of the next generation alongside the finest pioneers. Sicilian LPV mixes up EBM, industrial, dub and acid into grooves that get supported by the likes of Dax J and Fred Umwelt. His skill lies in translating personal emotions into universal messages, and on the brilliantly textured 'Eclipsed Thoughts', there is an unrelenting tension. Tight synths loop with no resolve, the kicks roll with a compelling thud and subtle percussion brings menacing funk.

BCCO Premiere: LPV - Eclipsed Thoughts [IMFHP09]

“Shitau” on B1 picks up on these introverted and adoring musical moods with more organic bell percussion and swelling synth layers adding a more cinematic touch to the complex rhythm patterns—then pausing for a short dreamy break, gaining speed again before culminating in a grand finale. 

Marcel Fengler - Shitau - IMF07

“Zen” follows up with intimate string arrangements until Fengler varies the tone and tempo with tribalist percussion and a lush kick drum.

Marcel Fengler - Kyu - IMF07

The record's B1 track, the aptly-titled Reflections, is the EP's most contemplative, with an unwavering pulse underpinning a subtle rising-and-falling melody that always threatens to burst into technicolour before dipping back into darkness.

Thomas Hessler - Reflections - IMF08

It's followed by Rise, which matches its rhythmic urgency to an escalating melody that teases while it builds towards its cathartic 'house lights up' moment.

Thomas Hessler - Rise - IMF08

EP opener Push is the record's most intense cut, brimming with a powerful intent that's barely contained by the track's dramatic surging synths. 

Thomas Hessler - Push - IMF08

DIN, the collaborative project between Fengler and Efdemin contribute an atmosphere-heavy new production to the IMF10 compilation part 1 titled ‘Akustikkoppler’.

DIN - Akustikkoppler - IMF10.1

Part one of thew compilation explores deeper and more hypnotic territory, as the legendary Alva Noto makes his debut for IMF re-working the Fengler classic ‘Sphinx’ into a spaced-out industrial beast. DIN, the collaborative project between Fengler and Efdemin reaps an atmosphere-heavy new production titled ‘Akustikkoppler’. Scuba also contributes courtesy of his SCB project, crafting a tripped-out interpretation of Somewhen’s ‘Dain’ from IMF05. Elsewhere close friends Matrixxman (in collaboration with rising producer Riccardo Limiti) and Lucy, also join the project crafting powerful and timeless originals. Always with an eye on the future, Fengler drafts in emerging Serbian talent Blaukoma, who impresses with the pulsing, tension-packed ‘Iris Pattern’.

Part 2 of the IMF 10 compiulation focuses on the warmer and more soulful side of IMF and features an outstanding array of artists making their debut for the label, all of which have a strong personal meaning to Fengler. There’s FJAAK, the exciting Berlin trio he admires for their authentic identity and honest sound, a special Shed remix of the enigmatic VRIL whose timeless productions continue to strike a chord with him, good friend Eric Cloutier who he has long wanted to get involved in IMF and of course long-time label champion Thomas Hessler. Vienna’s Arthur Robert – a new face Marcel discovered after he sent him tracks over Facebook – contributes a beautiful shimmering work to the compilation.
