TECHNO 17

This is the fifth stand-alone EP from him for Electric Deluxe, on top of his last LP ‘Comedy Of Menace,’ and offers three more exquisite samples of what the techno veteran does best. Almost a counter-point to Fixmer’s last EDLX release-the dubby, warmed through ‘When The Sun’ EP-’Bells’ is a homage to the pitch black dance floors of the night, with all his hypnotism and industrial hues in place. “Bells” opens right in the thick of it, with alarm knells and viscous vapours swirling round a lasso loop that will hook you until sunrise. “In Chains” is it’s raw cousin-just as dark, unsettled, and riled with analogue sounds. But as midnight begins to dip into eternity, closer “Subspace Two” offers up a lasting sunny reprieve. The EP ends on a serotonin-soaked moment where dub, techno and house close their eyes and sway as one. ‘Bells’ is a versatile record, which sees Terence Fixmer cater for every nocturnal occasio

Kangding Ray . Solens Arc
Release : January 2014 on raster-noton
www.raster-noton.net
www.kangdingray.com

A stone thrown, just to watch it fly. A projectile launched for the sole purpose of drawing a ballistic trajectory in the sky.
The Solens arc is what remains after the subtraction of the goal; a simple parabolic curve defined by gravity, impulse and starting angle. No target to hit, no catharsis to wait for, just the beauty of the flight.

The Arc as the purpose, in the form of four variations, constructed from disintegrated melodic textures and dismantled beats. Each sequences are assembled seamlessly into dense, evolving compositions, while keeping their autonomy, and their role in the global dramaturgy.

Pointillist serial loops morph into abrasive rave anthems, broken club rhythms are refitted into uneven patterns, like deconstructivist sound architectures. Industrial techno stompers dissolve into granular sound waves and filtered space pads, before being overtaken by cinematic drums and rising arpeggios.

Solens Arc is Kangding Ray’s fourth Album for raster-noton.

Psychik part 2 soon on CLR.

CLR´s present release is a three tracks EP consisting of Terence Fixmer´s follow up of “Psychik” + Monoloc remixes of his memorable song “Love Sick”.
 
The originator´s brand-new composition “Psychik (Part 2)” is a smoothly driving, thoroughly absorbing and faultlessly produced Techno track with an uplifting vibe. Terence Fixmer´s approach to Techno has always transmitted a certain warmth and sincerity.

Slam bring light to their Paragraph imprint with the floor-shattering 'Cadence' release. 

'Cadence' is as tough and as noisy as you'll find Slam today. Sitting on the outskirts of Techno, the Glaswegian pair push the envelope of their style and production, utilising a grit they have worked on for over twenty years.

The deeper of the two tracks ,'Remain', still packs a punch. While preserving the rumbling low-end that binds 'Cadence' together, 'Remain' bears a fathomless form that allows that dizzying, cosmos moment in longer sets. 

This powerful two tracker from Slam is a welcome return for Paragraph.

Berlin artist Dominique Dillon de Byington aka Dillon released the follow up to her 2011 album 'Silence Kills' back in March and 'The Unknown' once again showcased her intelligent songwriting and beautifully whimsical vocals.

The first single to be taken from 'The Unknown', released via BPitch Control, was 'A Matter Of Time' and the striking piano chords and haunting feel gave listeners an idea of what to expect. Now, the single gets a full remix package.

As well as spellbinding remixes from Anstam, Planningtorock and Monokle, Dillon's track has been edited by none-other than Berghain's resident and techno master Marcel Dettmann and we have the first play.

Pan-Pot - Grey Matter EP
[SECOND STATE: SNDST004]
 
A: Pan-Pot - Grey Matter
B: Pan-Pot - Substance


For Pan-Pot's second release on their new imprint they fall nothing short of what you would expect from the infamous duo. 

"Grey Matter" is a stormer made especially for the intense peak time strobe lights of a dark sweaty club. The pulsing stabs and swelling bass in combination with the rolling hi-hats and shakers keep the energy flowing upward. 
Don't let the word grey in the title fool you, this track is more a burning red. Just like the deep ominous vocal says, "We're burning"!

On the flip side is "Substance“ and with this one, Pan-Pot showcase their vast knowledge of what tension can do on the dance floor. From beginning to end, it teases with builds that never quite go over the edge. Constantly increasing, it creates the desire for just a little more while never giving you the satisfaction of a resolution. 

It's a concept that only masters can make work and when it does, it's nothing short of brilliant.

Skober comes back with one awesome and special original track for Metodiq.. Originally from Ukraine, he has released his own tracks and remixes on labels as Drumcode, Phobiq, AnalyticTrail, Trapez and more...

Nice melody with a solid groove, as always in his productions, Without doubt a big work by Skober, the hits machine!

It includes 2 huge remixes, the first by the italian duo, Mr.Bizz, they don't need presentation, one of the best talents in the Techno scene... And the second by the label boss MAAE, Both remixes with his personal concept but loyal to the original essence of the track

Definitely, all the Techno lovers, must have this masterpiece ready to play on his sets!

This new Henning Baer is, in short, a delicious double threat. The bouncing beat never truly relents, while a spacey synth does swirly business in the back. Unlike John Osborn's delightfully-monikered TANSTAAFL imprint (best Ask Jeeves if you're confused), we're not entirely sure what "Shopping In Jail" means. But if it's half as fun as this, we're all in. Oh and incidentally, Mr Baer himself might just be making a return to our screens soon – keep eyes peeled.

Gemini arrives September 7th. Don't steal it, though.
