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.

Out April 4th https://mutual-rytm.bandcamp.com/album/covil-dos-abutres

Portuguese techno mainstay Dextro drops cultured EP ‘Covil Dos Abutres’ for his label debut on Mutual Rytm.

Dextro has been immersed in electronic music and DJing since the early 90s. In the decades since, he has become synonymous with a sound deeply rooted in simplicity and authenticity. Fuelled by a passion for his craft, his production process is guided by intuition and spans a diverse range of styles, from tunnelling grooves to more potent techno with deep and hypnotic layers. He has held several key residencies and released on top labels like CLR and Missile Records, and he adds to those with a first outing on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm with ‘Covil Dos Abutres’.

The five-track 12” and eight-track digital EP has a sleek, stripped-back style, with wide-spanning corners of the techno realm explored. ‘Correct Incorrect’ keeps the pressure on with more rubbery, dubbed-out groves beautifully decorated with delicate melodies and is our pick on this EP

Dextro ‘Covil Dos Abutres’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 4th April 2025.

Dutchman Tapia has made his mark on the underground with a fresh take on techno. It blends a respect for the past with
a creative vision for the future on cult labels like Planet Rhythm and Drumcode, as well as his own Say What?
Recordings. He has a seductive style that is shadowy and stripped-back but never short on musical character and
packed with great sound design. Says Tapia of this latest release on Lady Tazz’s Mind Medizin, “I had a lot of fun
creating these tracks for Mind Medizin that have both rolling elements as well as typical techno vibes, and It’s for sure a

pleasure when you get into a production flow and create a release in a short period of time.”

The title cut gets things underway with the sort of booming kicks that will rattle any club to its foundations. The hi-hats
are supersized and raw, and the pulsing bass serves as an unrelenting reminder to keep moving, with some fractured
vocal fragments adding extra texture. 'Patriot' keeps the pressure on with big, muscular, punching drum funk and
tunnelling synth loops that melt the mind. There is an unsettling and paranoid feeling to 'Oracle' with anxious synth
motifs keeping you on edge as the hammering drums march on, then closer 'Space Mountain' offers a different vibe.
This one fizzes with static and has sustained chords, bringing a trance-inducing flavour to the cantering drums.

Ramon Tapia - Release -[Mind Medizin]

DJUS steps up with Bring It Back EP, a four-track journey into the essence of groovy and rolling techno. With an undeniable focus on rhythm, energy, and movement, this EP blends hypnotic drum patterns, deep basslines, and sharp percussive elements into a fluid, dynamic experience.

We start off with 'Conga Circus' that sets the tone with infectious tribal energy, driven by rolling congas and a tightly woven percussive groove. A pulsing bassline carries the track forward, while layers of organic percussion create a hypnotic swing that feels both raw and refined. As the tension builds, playful rhythmic variations and subtle synth stabs add depth, making this a perfect tool.

Next up is 'Glassified' - a deeper and more textural ride, this track balances crisp drum work with shimmering, glassy synth textures that float above a chunky, rolling low end. The interplay between tight, syncopated percussion and evolving atmospheres creates a mesmerizing push-and-pull effect, keeping dancers locked in the rhythm while the track unfolds with delicate yet driving intensity.

The third track on the EP 'Tap Tap' is all about bounce and movement. A groovy bassline works in perfect harmony with sharp, tapping percussion elements that dance around the stereo field. Funk-infused hi-hats and filtered synth loops add a playful touch, while subtle vocal snippets sneak in and out, enhancing the hypnotic effect. The groove is relentless yet effortlessly fluid—one of those tracks that keeps the dancefloor swaying deep into the night.

Closing out the EP with a pure roller 'Up And Down' that leans into a loopy, hypnotic structure where layered percussion, deep sub grooves, and evolving textures create an irresistible forward motion. The bassline swells and dips, mirroring the track’s title, while airy synth pads bring a spaced-out contrast to the rhythmic intensity. A true late-night groover that’s both immersive and driving, sealing the EP with style.

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.
