A project 18 months in the making, Marcel Fengler presents a IMF10, a three part compilation series detailing the past, present and future of his label Index Marcel Fengler. 

Part 2 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. 

Highlighting this section of the project is the first AZUR track – Marcel’s new side project. He explains: “I’ve always liked to be diverse with my music, but I also don’t want to confuse people. This is the reason why I decided to give my melodic side its own identity. My music under the Marcel Fengler name will go back to its roots and be more raw and rough in production terms.”

With the comeback of his moniker, Polyvinyl, UMEK goes back to his hardgroove origins. In addition, he is starting a new record label called 1605 GrooveSector, which will specialise in raw techno and hardgroove.

Slovenian-born UMEK has a career that dates back to the 1990s, when he was among the musicians that helped create and pioneer the first hardgroove movement. His iconic Recycled Loops project produced a number of groundbreaking songs that shaped the modern genre.

UMEK’s music has changed throughout the course of his three-decade career to reflect contemporary styles, and he has continued to be one of the most significant techno artists. His career is coming full circle with the return of the Polyvinyl pseudonym, and he is once again embracing the improvisational production style that once brought him international recognition.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the title track “Mechanically Intensive” with a rolling bassline and filtered percussion. Jerking synth stabs are added to boost the offbeat energy, but it’s the timeless, tribal and schranz-like rhythms that create the throwback, dance floor burning sound.

For his next Token EP, Kr!z delivers squelchy synth sequences over robust kicks, reinforcing his no - nonsense approach to club music. Classic in its conception yet psychotic in effect, Ipso Facto is a record built for powerful sound systems during the night’s most delirious moments.

First impressions are important; the Belgian producer has never been one to waste time, and this record is no exception. What you hear is what you get — an anxiously slithering synth line makes his intentions clear in De feat the Purpose, driving people to the dancefloor. Dry drum machine work thunders throughout, locking in the Token style with precision. Moving into the next track, ‘Chrome Dust’ focuses more on the tonal side of things and its irresistible groove makes i t an instant ear catcher. Playful rides and snares shape the progression, with Kr!z swapping percussion elements to keep the movement lively. 

The title track is a true hip swinger on the B1 as he reaches in the low end of the synth sequence to establish a very compelling rhythm. Everything in its right place, and not a hair more, the percussion transitions are reminiscent of his 4 channel DJ sets, the energy always being on the move. Equilibrium closes the EP with high energy, opening up filters over a reli ably bouncy rhythm. Years of experience behind the decks can be very instructive for a perceptive producer, and Kr!z proves us just that in this track and in the whole EP.

Premiere: Kr!z "Ipso Facto" - Token

3am?air

After a streak of amazing releases on label we are back again and this time with Sao Paulo’s KLBR who delivers a mesmerizing 4-track EP

The title track 'Pulsar Rhythms' sets the tone with an irresistible, rolling groove that builds momentum like a spinning neutron star. A hypnotic synth pattern pulsates at the core, steadily evolving as percussive elements weave in and out, creating a driving yet fluid motion that keeps the energy locked tight on the dancefloor.

'Asteroid Field' takes you on a raw and energetic ride through an unpredictable soundscape, this track features shuffling, syncopated drums and swirling textures that mimic the chaotic yet rhythmic nature of an asteroid belt. The bassline surges forward like a spacecraft, while layers of percussive hits add an extra edge of tension and movement.

'Exoplanet Groove' carries a deep and rolling groove, while hypnotic synth stabs and filtered pads create a dreamy yet driving atmosphere. As the track progresses, subtle modulations and delicate FX add an otherworldly dimension, making it a perfect tool for late-night sessions.

'Life Force Connection' closes out the EP, this track brings a deeper, more emotive touch while maintaining a solid groove. A resonant bassline lays the foundation as intricate rhythms and spacey synth add-ons expand into the sonic ether, and evoke a sense of connection between body and rhythm.

Enjoy

DJ Dextro returns to CLR with the ‘Nada’ EP. The Portuguese artist’s second CLR release follows last Summer’s ‘Motivo’ EP.

DJ Dextro returns to CLR 16th May 2025 with the follow-up to 2024’s ‘Motivo’ EP. Consisting of three tracks, the influential Lisbon artist drops title track ‘Nada’ first, deep dub atmospheres permeating between tight drum loops in a hazy trip before ‘Gift From The Future’ races through the stars with rapid-fire kick drums and hypnotic synth work. ‘Vacuum Decay’ then closes the release out, tumbling sequences creating
an almost jacking feel for full-blown lose-yourself dancefloor energy from an artist supported by the likes of Dave Clarke, Alienata, Marcel Dettmann, GiGi FM, Dubfire, and many more.

Active since the early ‘90s, Portuguese artist DJ Dextro boasts a vast discography on labels like Missile Records, Mutual Rhythm, UNCAGE, Planet Rhythm and Portugal’s very own Naked Lunch Records. He’s also a prolific remixer, having reworked music from artists such as The Advent, Scuba, and Drumcomplex.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like DEAS, Shlomi Aber, Drumcell, Truncate and more while also focussing on developing newer acts in the scene such as B. Riley, The Southern, and Klint.
