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.

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.

Track List:
01. Unconformist - Path Of Light
02. Alys LF - Yesterday
03. LPV - Eclipsed Thoughts
04. SLV - Argent Fracture
05. Invexis - Celebrity Algorithm

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.

PREMIERE - Alys LF - Yesterday [IMFHP09]

Release Date: 03.10.2025

Buy link: https://indexmarcelfengler.bandcamp.com/album/hardproof-va09

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.
