As detailed in his interview with German publication Froh Froh, “the interview with Narciss was different. Colorful Hawaiian shirt instead of matt black, nicotine chewing gum instead of butt. In terms of content between kitsch, cutie, but also serious - no intrusive promo.”

This freshness truly comes across in his latest EP for Lobster Theremin. Dear Diary - releasing on June 4th - is an emotionally charged journey through smoked-filled rooms and packed-out corridors; lasers, strobes and wide eyes. As much a throwback to the golden era of trance as it is an ode to the producers techno aesthetic, it encapsulates an energy release - an escape from the grimness of the mundane, the fear of contemporary society left at the door as we venture further front left.

‘Ludmilla’ gets things started; a cut of tranced-out, progressive techno that builds and builds, emotional vocal stabs (“I need you”) further enhancing the connection between body and mind, listener and selector. ‘Tall People’ follows a similar route - deeper into the trance revival that has seen artists like Bliss Inc, New Members and Marlon Hoffstad producing some timelessly similar euphoria - it’s scenic techno, if the scene was an anime figure racing across a field on horseback.

The steady 4x4 rhythms are replaced on ‘It Gets Easier’; fast-paced sentiment that floats somewhere between breaks and garage, wrapped up in that signature trancey texture, before 'Blicke' featuring Ikki Mel shows us the door with a completely different take on the previous three moods; this time offering up an altogether harder showcasing of the rave sound with its classic synth stabs and uncompromising kicks.

This week on the Ismcast we have ØTTA.

Big releases seem to come naturally to ØTTA and recent ones on Possession and Coup make no exception. 

A power hour blasting from the onset with her unique mix of hard techno blended effortlessly with smooth psytrance sounds.

As always be sure to give ØTTA a follow on her socials.

This week we are premiering Don Woezik - Leave With Me (Original Mix).  For future Premiere interest with Ismus contact premieres@ismusberlin.com.

Artist: Don Woezik
Title: Leave With Me
Label: Kriptika Records
Catalogue: 004B
Format: Digital
Release date: 26/11/21

Be sure and buy it here - https://kriptikarecords.bandcamp.com/album/kriptika-records-004b

Kriptika Records have been making strides in the electronic music world. The first few releases from Rezystor, Stigmatique, Sligo, Julian Muller, Echoes of October, DJ IBON, MSKD, Amstra, GEERSON, Grace Dahl and label bosses HERMETE and DCMBR picked up support from genre heavyweights such as Amelie Lens, Marcel Fengler, Anetha and Regal and continue to keep fans engaged. Their second VA release continues down the path of releasing first-class hard techno with trance elements, industrial and high-energy, warehouse anthems.

First up is the polish techno queen L Ʌ V Σ N with "Aries Angel" an emotional rave-inspired techno anthem, right before Don Woezik, who delivered a heavy "four-to-the-floor" drummy vocal track. It's Fenrick's turn with his "Rythm meaning" filled up with fast-paced drums and melancholic arps, up next Monnom Black affiliate Aahan offering dynamic grooves and emphatic rhythms inside his "Charmer".
Ending with label bosses DCMBR and HERMETE, their tracks "Signals" and " Fake news, Fake people" are full of acid basslines, churning synths and mammoth pads.

Release date: 04/03/22

Be sure and buy it here - https://cheekymusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/staying-true

Arriving hard on the heels of his Lobster Theremin debut, Swiss-born, Berlin based techno artist Chlär prepares the first ever release of Welcome to the Loop World with four devastating cuts of furious and fun pounding rhythms.
‘It’s a Common Thing’ is as subdued as it is raw; an unapologetically in-your-face energy with emo-vocal samples and tense, swirling sonics that allow no room for rest. ‘The Tribe’ begins with high-filter kick and wooden instrumentation that quickly evolves into a full-scale bassfest; not for the faint-hearted.
The manipulated synth-strings of ‘Staying True’ make for a contemporary-classical take on the typically black-and-white techno format, creating something new and exciting that is distinctively Chlär, before ‘Right Mood Supplier’ swaps harsh noise for something a little more progressive; wriggling basslines and jump-up-and-down energy creating something punchy and fun.

This week we are premiering Narciss - Lovechild (Outrun Mix). For future Premiere interest with Ismus contact premieres@ismusberlin.com.

Artist: Narciss
Title: Lovechild
Label: 1Ø PILLS MATE
Catalogue: 1ØPILLS022
Format: 12” Vinyl & Digital
Release date: 1st April

Hot on the heels of last year's Dear Diary EP on Lobster Theremin, explosive performances on HÖR and an intimate interview with celebrated German publication Groove Magazine, frequent Berlin & Leipzig DJ Narciss comes through with four deep and groovy cuts of bass-driven techno.

‘Feather Boa Constrictor’ features one of Copenhagen’s most exciting emerging producers in recent years - Vixen - fresh off her own acclaimed release, Hard Magik For Soft Souls, on Lobster Theremin in December. Now the pair link up on the DJ Mag Breakthrough Label of the Year imprint that blends all the best elements of the Berlin and Copenhagen scenes in a high-speed trip through psy-trance, synth-wave and techno.

Narciss is on his ones as we enter the A2; ‘Lovechild (Outrun Mix)’ is aptly named with its reference to the 1986 arcade game Outrun, which featured some of the best video-game music to ever be created. Deep basslines, swirling synth-stabs and a soothing deepness and contemplativeness that can only come with driving a virtual car down a never-ending highway.

‘Tokyo’ makes use of polyrhythms and textures blended with what sounds like an old Sampha record. It’s a wonderful combination of dark, deep and forward-thinking sound, before Copenhagen producer Repro comes through with a typically EBM-focused remix combining elements of every track.
