Shlomi Aber returns to Chris Liebing's CLR. The ‘Limelight’ EP follows up two hugely successful releases on the label and also features a broken Techno mix from Aber.

Shlomi Aber drops his latest ‘Limelight’ EP on CLR this February. He kicks things off with title track,‘Limelight’, a boomy kick drum setting the pace while fizzing synths light up the airwaves, spoken words bringing a sci-fi feel to this strobe-lit classic. Aber then drops a broken mix of ‘Limelight’, scuffing the kicks and bringing a raw funk feel already picked up by the likes of Radio Slave, Josh Wink, Dave Clarke, Alienata, and more. Last is Shlomi Aber’s 'Riot,' an earth-shattering, pure techno sound with rolling drums and sustained chords that will lock dancers in the groove and
slowly melt their minds.

Active since 1994, Be As One boss Shlomi Aber has brought his unique style of Techno to esteemed imprints such as Cocoon, Ovum, Nonplus, Figure, and CLR. Returning to Chris Liebing’s imprint, Aber follows his month-long Beatport chart-topping 2022 ‘Can’t Sleep’ EP and subsequent 2023 ‘Remote 101’ EP with ‘Limelight’
, another versatile package of quality Techno cuts.

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, including Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro, and more. It has also focused on developing newer acts in the scene, such as Risa Taniguchi, The Southern, and Klint.

Shlomi Aber's Limelight comes on CLR on 21st February 2025.

Tracklist:
1.	Covil dos Abutres
2.	Correct Incorrect
3.	Vida e Morte
4.	Element One
5.	Beautiful Day
6.	Time Line
7.	Savana Urbana
7.	Diferenças

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. ‘Covil Dos Abutres’ is a deep space transmission with journeying, frictionless beats and deft sci-fi motifs that recall classic touches synonymous with the genre’s pioneers. ‘Correct Incorrect’ keeps the pressure on with more rubbery, dubbed-out groves beautifully decorated with delicate melodies. ‘Vida E Morte’ is another sublime and hypotonic minimal techno sound with funk in the kicks and a freaky late-night spirit. ‘Element One’ again combines perfectly reduced drum groves with atmospheric pads and curious samples that keep you intrigued, and 'Beautiful Day' closes out with sonar-like synth pulses over the most skeletal but captivating rhythms.

Digital cuts 'Time Line’, ‘Savana Urbana’, and ‘Diferenças’ further explore the intersection of minimalism with cosmic synth designs that take you off into distant astral worlds.

Tanera - Optics (Free Download master)

Prepare to dive into the enchanting soundscapes of Amsterdam! Tom van de Ven, known as VNTM, invites you on an exhilarating journey with "The Spiral." This remarkable EP features four tracks, each crafting a unique and energetic narrative in an enthralling, dark setting. Embrace the magic of minimalism and pure techno as VNTM guides you beyond the ordinary into an extraordinary sonic quest! “The Spiral” will be out on 8th. of November via “ARTS Records”.

Kicking off with the lead track "The Spiral," welcomes you into a captivating world of shadowy depths, where ethereal sounds beautifully interconnect with soft, atmospheric vocals. It’s an extended journey that invites you to truly lose yourself on the dance floor! Then we transition to "Tactile," a lush and alluring track that’s just perfect for those peak moments, featuring deep, resonant bass that brings a charming wave of nostalgia. Next up is "Voices In My Head," where a delightful playfulness between sound and intention creates an intriguing atmosphere. It’s raw yet intriguingly clever! We wrap things up with the dynamic track "June," where hypnotic rhythms collide with an exhilarating surge of intense techno, amplifying the pulse of the music.

From VNTM: “The EP embodies my vision perfectly, a blend between functional and groove driven music combined with melancholic and atmospheric anthem tracks. “The Spiral” has been an absolute highlight in every set and I’m super happy it’s the title track of this new work. In the other 3 tracks I’m discovering and experimenting on the darker sides to my music and the goal is for the listener to try them at different tempos, to see how the grooves and textures behave.”

VNTM recognizes the importance of connecting his music with a new generation, highlighting the significant influence of his artistry. In the midst of the evolving music industry, "The Spiral" stands out, serving as a reminder of the enduring appeal and significance of techno music in our lives. Let's come together to appreciate and support this incredible journey!
