Following major league releases on Afterlife and his own imprint Apparition, Dutchman VNTM makes his debut on Spectrum, stamping down his pristine melodic techno mark on the label's 20th release.

'Deceiving Tendencies' and 'Disrupting Machines': evocative titles for these apocalyptic times. Two tracks, two universes, two transcendental opportunities to momentarily leave this reality and be whisked away on huge, swooping sonic waves. 'Deceiving Tendencies' takes the lead; A widescreen progressive tale laced with tense strings and soaring textures that lift you gently but make no promise to bring you back down to earth. Meanwhile 'Disrupting Machines' keeps us in deep space. Expect premium zero-gravity feels as the track's elements appear to float around us and the unhurried, palpitating groove gradually twists in and out of the stars, light years away from the current realities.

VNTM - Deceiving Tendencies

une création brut qui fusionne pulsations sauvages et âme introspective.
Xi Unleashed, un voyage électrisant aux esprits captivés....une épopée immersive

Joris Voorn returns with another sterling release on his Green label. I Ran The Zoo is a lesson in stripped-back contrast and subtlety, with an acidic groove bleeping away over driving percussion and delicate atmospherics in its Digital Version, the tension growing with every thud of the kick drum. A dizzying breakdown raises the bar with snare rolls and dramatic pads, with the wide-open space therein soon sucked back into the void when the beat drops back in.

Meanwhile the special Analog Version harks back to Joris’ techno sound of old. The throbbing kick and bass and acid blips are set against rising, white-noise drenched synth swells and simple percussion to create something moody and tough yet teasingly pared back.

These two heads-down mixes make this release a stark contrast to some of his more melodic, riff-fuelled releases of late, once again demonstrating Joris' endless versatility and shape-shifting abilities.

Kevin De Vries delivers big room drama on his ‘Aratak’ EP for Afterlife Recordings. 

Spirited synth lines, drum rolls, gripping moments of silence and weighty kick drums make the title track of De Vries’ Afterlife debut formidable club gear. ‘Sciamachy’ is more subtle, centred around a euphoric arpeggio which spirals to its apex. Konstantin Sibold contributes a fine remix, toning down certain elements of ‘Sciamachy’ to let others shine. It completes an EP that brims with energy and dancefloor dynamism, a hugely exciting first full record for De Vries on Afterlife.

"I'm happy to present the talented The Reason Y from Berlin. After his EP on Pan-Pot's label Second State The Reason Y showcases his diversity with straight dark techno but also a warm melodic tune 'Almathea'. On top the man of the moment - Kevin de Vries - made a wonderful remix of Almathea. I hope you love this release as much as I do." (Monika Kruse)

Release Info: 
Booka Shade welcome back Moonwalk to deliver their first full EP on the label as the duo reveal their ‘Elessar’ EP to open December.

Milan-based, Neapolitan duo Dario Vizioli and Mauro Morabello, aka Moonwalk, have emerged in recent years as one of Italy’s brightest rising duos within the melodic house and techno scene, with releases to date via the likes of Stil vor Talent, Diynamic, Knee Deep In Sound and Suara gaining the attention of a host of the industry’s leading names, from Solomun to Carl Cox and beyond. Having debuted on Blaufield earlier in the year to remix Arm In Arm’s ‘Hunger For Your Vibe’, most notably featured during ARTBAT’s stand out Cercle performance, here we see the pairing return to Booka Shade’s label to deliver their first full EP on the label entitled ‘Elessar’.

Title production ‘Elessar’ opens the EP in emphatic fashion as the pair weave soaring lead synths amongst suspenseful, energy building breaks and sweeping sonics, whilst ‘Cheos’ welcomes as slightly darker aesthetic as rich melodies meet restrained yet punchy percussion arrangements alongside further towering builds and breaks. Last up, the duo combine with fellow Italian Erly Tepshi to unveil the softer yet bright ‘Ikarus’, guided by resonant leads and Elenora’s infectious vocals throughout.

In the ever-evolving electronic music landscape, Kevin de Vries stands out as a luminary, crafting melodic techno masterpieces that echo through clubs and festivals worldwide. With a unique talent for melding musical intricacies, he has carved out a prominent place in the industry.

Kevin utilises the mesmerising and often transcendent potency of loops to captivate the dance floor. His close affiliation with Afterlife, where he has been a core artist since 2018, has provided a key platform to showcase his creative talent. Since his first release, Kevin has been part of the brand’s story, one which has unfolded to encompass a vast global community and a progressive ethos based on connection. Cuts such as ‘Dance With Me’ and ‘Metro’ have showcased his production abilities and distinctive style.

Kevin’s relationship with the label and event series also inspired the progression of his musical approach. The connection to his audience is the driving force behind his constant evolution. On stage, Kevin is a natural performer, matching the vibrancy of his music with his stage presence. Whether at larger scale productions, or more intimate settings, his aim is to form a symbiotic relationship with the audience - a mutual energy exchange that inspires Kevin, and the dance floor simultaneously.

Elsewhere, Kevin has released with Drumcode, Experts Only and Cocoon. With each release, he injects emotionally charged energy, combined with mesmerising beats and rhythmic arrangements. 

His unique sound has been featured in some of the most notable clubs, including Brooklyn Mirage NYC, Space Miami, and Hï Ibiza, as well as at world renowned festivals like Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Time Warp.

Kevin’s vision for the future upholds his community focused ethos - to connect with as many people as possible through his music, to keep finding new ways to communicate his message and, ultimately, to stay true to himself.
