To celebrate their fifth anniversary, French label @hardfist have compiled tracks by friends, collaborators, and those who have provided inspiration over the past few years. Our pick from the release @strapontin & MR TC 'Metal Layer' is a masterclass in slowly percolating tension.

Dust Of Life

Strapontin & MR TC - Metal Layer [Hard Fist]

Artist: Natasha Bai @natasha_bai
Title: Soldier Of Love EP
Not On Label
Release Date: 15/09/2023
Format: Digital

PREMIERE - NATASHA BAI - Soldier Of Love

Juan Atkins' Infiniti project combines raw tactility and puristic elegance with Skynet, where slinking grooves mask chaotic frequencies and roughly-hewn structure.

Alongside fellow Detroit legend Terrence Dixon who appears on several tracks, Atkins exposes the life and emotion in machines, outputting a biomorphic atmosphere of industrial soul.

The ongoing importance of this album is indisputable, essential both to techno and to Tresor.

Electric Circus

Infiniti - Electric Circus

Maud Geﬀray and Sébastien Chenut, aka Scratch Massive, have been active since 2003. This year sees them return with another standout full-length ‘Nox Anima’ which was composed and recorded in Los Angeles and is a haunted world of slow and intense rhythms and vocals. It comes after previous albums 'Nuit de Rêve' in 2011, which featured the likes of Jimmy Somerville, Daniel Agust of GusGus and Koudlam and picked up more than 14m streams, and 2018's 'Garden Of Love' with over 20m streams and syncs to brands and TV shows like Yves Saint Laurent, Lancôme and Emily in Paris. This new album marks a fresh chapter for the duo, who have already left an indelible mark on French electronic music with their dreamlike and melancholic sound that brims with poetry and cinematic flair while having one foot in techno and the other in cold wave.

Carl Finlow has been a prolific and innovative producer for more than 30 years. Across hundreds of releases and a variety of monikers, he has explored every niche and mastered the art of making his machines talk to mind, body and soul. His sounds have come on cult outlets like Avoidant Records, 20/20 Vision and Syncrophone, and this marks his debut on bORDEL Records.

His ice-cold and funky analogue spin on 'You Can’t Hide' pairs electro rhythms that draw from greats like Model 500 and Kraftwerk with the majestic vocals of the award-winning French singer-songwriter Jeanne Added. They bring a calming soul to corrugated kicks and snappy snares that cut through the rumbling, gritty bass to make for a cinematic sound. An instrumental is more stripped and dark, so the bass takes on a menacing presence.

Carl Finlow's Remix of Scratch Massive's 'You Can’t Hide feat Jeanne Added' arrives via bORDEL Records on February 27th 2025.

► Release Info:

Both Jamie Stevens and Danny Bonnici require no introduction. With a combined 50 years plus of honing their craft they’ve played their part in shaping a sound that is mood-laden, energetic and never derivative. They deliver on that premise by combining for an excellent two track EP that highlights why there is no substitute for experience.

Lead cut ‘Pretty but Lost’ is that rare track, an exquisite journey that feels like the sonic equivalent of reading a fantasy novel. Built on a bed of lush reverb and atmospheric FX, it lays the groundwork for a weighted kick that anchors the listener in reality. Layers of shimmering keys, textured samples, and delicate stabs set the scene for a woozy saxophone to take centre stage. With the free-flowing energy of a jazz player lost in a moment, the instrument paints a dreamlike story that says more than words ever could. This is a production built for grabbing attention and should find favour with anyone who enjoys their dance music on the cerebral side.

On ‘Bells’, the energy is tempered in a deep pool of warm drums and comforting bass. The percussion flutters softly, accentuating a cascade of sounds and FX that drift in and out with the energy of fond memories. After the bells foment into focus, they ripple through the breakdown like rain on a still pool of water. It’s exquisite progressive music, equally suited to the dancefloor or a quiet moment of daydreaming.
