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.”

Season Loop

BD002 Opuswerk - Forms Of Multiplicity EP
Release date: End of January 2018
triplevision.nl/release/BD002/

Geneva’s Opuswerk provides the second release on newly launched techno label Bipolar Disorder, with remixes from Inland (@counterchange-inland) and Antigone (@antigone).
Having appeared on Semantica and ARTS, as well as Dement3d (as HISS:1292 alongside François X), Swiss producer Opuswerk is a formidable name within today’s techno scene and has received regular support from names such as Dr Rubinstein, Daniel Avery, DVS1, Anthony Parasole, Peter Van Hoesen and Donato Dozzy.

Joining the release on remix duties, Counterchange founder Ed Davenport adopts his Inland guise alongside a separate outing from Parisian techno stalwart Antigone to form a solid four track techno package.

Syncopated drums and a rumbling low-end introduce the murky sounding ‘Extensum’ as scintillating synths increasingly permeate the mix. Inland reimagines it, introducing his recognisable polished percussion and deep atmospheric nuances. ‘Spatium’ uses otherworldly melodies and ominous effects for a mesmerising aesthetic from start to finish until Antigone’s energetic reinterpretation twists and distorts the original to conclude the release in style.

Tracklist:
A1. Extensum 
A2. Extensum (Inland Remix)
B1. Spatium
B2. Spatium (Antigone Remix)

Marcel Fengler’s IMF label is putting out a three-part compilation this month to celebrate their tenth release. A project that has taken almost two years to complete, it will feature artists new and old to the label including Shed, Luke Slater, Scuba, Arthur Robert and AVION.  Across 18 tracks, Fengler has said the project hopes to showcase the eclectic nature of the label and the full range of music its artists have produced.

Long-time label collaborator Thomas Hessler features heavily across the compilation. Premiering is his original on the compilation, the melancholic, euphoric and funky ‘Senses'.

Concerns Music delivers a new EP from Argentinian duo LPP who have their music released on Illegal Alien, Newrhythmic, Concepto Hipnotico, ANAØH, amongst many others since 2016.

The Grey Scene EP continues their high standard of output with freaky productions that are a mental workout as well as ready to rattle a club soundsytem. Also contributing with two remixes to the package are Parisian Keikari alongside Fixeer from Mexico.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the “Stone Pillow” remix by Keikari who has recent appearances on Faut Section and EarToGround. A thumping kick and gritty bassline warms up the rework from the off, followed by an encroaching, analogue swell that forms a menacing atmosphere. Throw in some morphing acid tones and this brooding beast really does excite.

Tresor Records is pleased to announce the new reissue of James Ruskin's seminal Point 2 album.

First released in 2000, it marked a fine debut that entrenches the minimal sequences, utilitarian funk and eerie hypnosis found within Ruskin's body of work. As Tresor's relationship with the UK sound grew stronger across the course of the '00s, it was Ruskin, the label owner of Blueprint Records, who played a critical part in this. Throughout the trio of LPs released over that decade, inspirations of the sci-fi minimal Detroit sound lie abundant, rendered through corporeal slammers typical of the UK vein.

Point 2 was the first of Ruskin's trilogy for Tresor, and brought a direct and uncompromising vibrancy to the fore, from the aquatic symphony featured on 'From Over The Edge' to the pinpoint gaze of 'Subject'. Gurning loops beat against alien samples, drained into refined abstractions of pure techno.

Newly remastered and featuring two tracks previously not cut onto vinyl, this upfront and bold classic is set to span dancefloors once again.

Throughout his career, Roger Semsroth has followed a deep intuition for experimentation in sound, wrapping club music around eerie microtonal motifs and industrial sensibilities. This new work for Tresor takes a step forward, as the first true techno album from Sleeparchive, where his previous LPs have exhibited themselves more conceptually, or under different names and his Nord Vest label.

Semsroth has been active in electronic music since the late 90s. He received initial attention first for his electro productions under the alias Skanfrom and the 80s minimal synth inspired Television Set. These projects echoed his love for these sounds, which the East Berliner had steadily immersed himself with after the end of the GDR. Upon hearing the bleeps of Mika Vainio and Plastikman, he began to engage with his strain of techno. Over the last decade, he has focused on his Sleeparchive alias, which dates back to 2004. Alongside close friend DJ Pete, he performs live techno as TR-101. His relationship with Tresor began in 2011, first releasing the Ronan Point EP and following up with the crucial A Man Dies In The Street series in 2013.

With this new album, Sleeparchive's impact on the techno sound is ever more relevant. Awaking in constant locomotion, locked-in, unrelenting and dry. Sleeparchive’s churning loops etch visions of tight minimalism at times densely frenetic and others serenely galactic. This predilection continues throughout the four sides on the album, eschewing conventional arrangement styles with gradual probabilistic change. Tracks such as 'Needle' and 'Peccant' offer up precise, sinewy techno. 'Leave' recalls the Detroit sound of Terrence Dixon, with its cascading synth tones and droning atmospheres. The album closes with a different version of 'Trust' to that found on last year’s Revised Recordings EP released on Tresor, with its now-familiar nerve-inducing pizzicato strings even more at the fore with its mechanic delivery.
