Jürgen Degener - Sensation (PRRUKLTDDEG)

Available on http://absenceoffacts.bandcamp.com

Absence of Facts label head Orion returns to his home imprint, delivering a three-track statement with the 'Broken Horn' EP. This release is a testament to the Finnish artist's nuanced, hypnotic techno, meticulously sculpted for discerning dancefloors.

The title track, "Broken Horn," is a formidable exercise in sonic architecture. It operates as a focused rumbler, where deep, resonant frequencies and intricate sound design converge to create a tense, hypnotic atmosphere. Following this, "Twisted Together" injects a distinct funk into the proceedings. Its propulsive, syncopated rhythm and dynamic groove offer a compelling, physical energy without sacrificing depth. The package is concluded with "Be Fair," a track perfectly engineered to be a quintessential set-closer. Its evolving atmospherics and patiently building intensity provide a powerful, reflective end-point, leaving a lasting, introspective impression.

Written and produced by Juska Wendland 
Recorded in Helsinki, Finland

We are really happy to present Manuel De Martino's new EP "The Gold Of Napoli" a new 4 tracker Ep that contains all the influences received over many years, from artists to clubs in this magical and unique city.

From a deeper and more melodic techno, with vocals passing through hypnotic arpeggios to more solid and dynamic grooves.

Detroit pioneer Robert Hood joins Radio Slave’s Rekids label with a fourteen track album entitled ‘Mirror Man’ this November.

A founding member of Underground Resistance alongside Mad Mike Banks and Jeff Mills, Robert Hood is one of techno’s originators and his decorated career spans three decades. The American artist and his M-Plant label laid down the blueprint for minimal techno and 1994’s ‘Minimal Nation’ on Axis was a definitive album that further cemented Hood’s reputation as one of the greats to emerge from the Motor City.

Since then, Hood has gone on to release on many of electronic music’s best labels like Tresor, Peacefrog, Music Man Records, Dekmantel and more. After a busy few years making music and touring as Floorplan alongside his daughter Lyric, Hood now joins Rekids with an album showcasing his innate knack for crafting paired back but intricate rhythms that deliver punch and soul.

Opening with the cinematic ‘Through A Looking Glass Darkly’, the album quickly flows into precise, powerful four four. There’s mesmerising cuts such as ‘Fear Not’ with its throbbing bass and spectral vocals, the twisted and off-key ‘Run Bobby, Run’, not to mention muscular tracks designed to light up dancefloors like the machine driven ‘Ignite A War’ or the robust and rumbling ‘The Cure’.
Hood also breaks things up with downtempo and mind bending interludes, including the tranquil yet spooky ‘Black Mirror’ and the beatless and murky ‘Freeze’. Each of these are aural feasts that demonstrate his vast musical pallet.

From start to finish ‘Mirror Man’ is an education in finesse from one of techno’s most heroic artists, landing on one of electronic music’s most important labels.

The second part of 2020’s ‘Converge - Part I’, a body of music which saw enthusiastic responses from the likes of Surgeon, Lauren Flax, DJ Bone, Anthony Parasole and Jus-Ed to name just a few, sees the Berlin-based DJ/Producer and dancer generously expand on and refine his slick vision of techno on one of electronic music’s key labels.

By encompassing warm and soulful textures within club focussed grooves, Hester continues to explore the far reaches of both the musical cues picked up from his years as a dancer and formative time spent in the Midwest US, connecting influences from Chicago, Minneapolis, and Detroit.

Stretched across a double LP, the album opens with the spacious and icy ‘Stealth’ followed by the machine communications of ‘Artificial Intelligence’. The B-side sees a whirlwind of the synthetic in ‘Instant’ before ‘Contact’ swiftly picks up the pace with it’s warbling pads and slippery percussion.

On the second disc, ‘Circadian Slip’, custom-built for dancefloor pandemonium, continues with off-kilter leads and vocal snippets before ‘Shadows’ brings eerie syncopation to the proceedings. In the final stretch, ‘Silver’ maintains steady energy into the twilight hours, and the gorgeous ‘Wonder’ closes out the LP beautifully, providing a soft landing to an exceptional journey through Hester’s sound.
