The Minneapolis-based producer and live performing artist Autokinetic debuts on DVS1's Mistress Recordings: "Mistress 16" is not only a thrilling, hardware-heavy heads-down techno affair with a focus on polyrhythms and basslines, Autokinetic also showcases his melodic ingenuity that adds a deeper level to his narrative.

Mike McClure, aka Autokinetic, based in Minneapolis (U.S.), has been performing live electronic music since the early 90’s. Coming up alongside local legends like Freddy Fresh, Woody McBride, Paul Birken, DJ Slip, and DVS1, his approach to electronic music is unmistakably informed by his long involvement in underground electronic music culture. Earlier in his career, Autokinetic produced hard, 909-driven acid and now focuses on deeper, more spacious grooves. His full-hardware live performances have an unmistakable after-hours feel that is true to his roots. McClure also records and performs live as AutoClub with Craig Lambert (Midnight Music Club). He has released music on such labels as Electric Music Foundation, Serotonin, Trope Recordings, and Music Man, as well as a record label co-managed with Freddy Fresh, Analog Records USA.

MISTRESS 16 will be available at all fine record stores and also comes with a digital bonus track, only available on Bandcamp: www.dvs1mistress.bandcamp.com

VRIL - UV (2025 Edit)

After @Nick-Hoeppner's debut album ‘Folk’ (2015) and his collaborative EP with Gonno (‘Fantastic Planet’, 2016) the Panorama Bar resident puts full focus on club music with a new, consistent 3-tracker. By aiming for a strong musical coherence and dancefloor functionality Nick offers three facets of a familiar mood with the ‘Box Drop EP’ – ahead of his stylistically and atmospherically more diverse studio album, due out in June on Ostgut Ton.

Stroboscopic Artefacts returns with another strong addition to its Totem series, a unique set of releases pressed on transparent 10” vinyl, capturing the essence and effusiveness of multidimensionality of club culture. Bridging the gap between the worlds of sound and material objects, Totem is a series that aims to meld the artistic resonance of each forthcoming release into an emblematic representation of the sounds that are to be presented, clearly within the grooves seen and heard on the 10”. Stepping up for the third release in the series is Berlin legend Efdemin — bringing a three-track journey that is unequivocally enduring and flexible for journeys on-and-off the dancefloor.

While each track shares the same title, the textures and traits are different — with the A1, “Circles” setting things up with pertinent percussion and staccato synth lines; as Efdemin sways towards another side with “Left” — a heady, hedonistic thumper with exuberant melodic bursts; followed by a therapeutic sequel with “Right” — closing out the release with a melange of spacious efficacy, something the Berlin-based producer has been known for throughout his near-two-decade career. Between releasing for the likes of Ostgut Ton, Curle, Dial, and his own imprint Naïf; Efdemin takes on the challenge of Totem’s conceptual subjugation and subverts it with his emotionally honest take on a stimulating and subdural sonic experience within three parts. Narratively dense and expertly-paced, the Totem series carries on with another outer-worldly insertion to its catalog.
