XTRCT 001 / live - Celome

Backspin – the imprint launched by Regal as a love letter to early 2000s Hardgroove – welcomes techno titan Marco Bailey with the 'Drivetonik' EP: a powerful blend of past and present that pays homage to Hardgroove's golden era while keeping the focus firmly on today's dancefloors.

The EP opens with the title track 'Drivetonik', a brand-new production that sets the tone: raw, rolling and built to move bodies. A straight-up Hardgroove banger, it's Bailey at his most focused. All momentum, no compromise. What follows is a rare treat for longtime heads: three classic tracks, originally released on the legendary Primate Recordings, now freshly remastered for 2025. 'Hustler' brings the bounce with its infectious and instantly effective sound. 'Karma' leans into tribal rhythms and percussive layering, while 'Konverter' cuts through with synth stabs and vocal chops, offering a punchy, streamlined ride through early-2000s funk. To close things out, Swedish Hardgroove legend Hertz steps in to rework 'Konverter', injecting his signature style into a remix that's as crisp as it is driving, a perfect fusion of old-school grit and modern precision.

With each release, Backspin Records continues its mission to rediscover, revive, and redefine the foundations of 2000s groove-driven techno. With the 'Drivetonik' EP, Marco Bailey shows us why his legacy remains firmly embedded in the genre's foundation.

PREMIERE: WRD0258: Leopold Bär, Paul Render - First Division (JBLLSTRS Remix).

Adriana Lopez’s @greyreport returns again with a four-track EP signed by rising artists Temudo & Nørbak.

With previous releases on labels such as Soma, Modularz or Warm Up, to name a few, in this occasion the Portuguese producers join forces to show their distinctive way of combining textures with dynamic components.

 This is without a doubt intense and functional warehouse techno.

OECUS Premiere // Eddie Hale [ODDEVEN033]

Extract from Dormancy EP on ODDEVEN records @odd-even-1
Release date: November 13th, 2020.

Dormancy is a mesh machine-like tweaks and dramatic themes that may have been inert until Eddie Hale’s songcraft forces it to stagger and sway with the synthetic rhythm. The title track begins with breathy synths and builds up its momentum with the bouncing beat. Impulses is a dramatic dance floor track, fencing chords tangle with the rhythm that pulses constantly. Bustling and elastic sound of Variant 1 evokes the body to move along its excitable groove. The tensile theme of JU-6 never looses its cools with the stagger drums. Jon Hester's remix of Dormancy keeps the overall theme but adding an old school approach as the track builds up with creamy synths juxtaposed with the clangy percussion.

Artist: Eddie Hale / @eddiehaleofficial

Label: ODD EVEN
