I like that new version. It has more energy;)

Dark Berghain Techno

TB 2014

If STRGTHS offered a taste of the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH’s sense of humour and willingness to actively resist order, Linear S Decoded see them in full control. 

The complex, onomatopoeic track titles are gone and replaced with more recognisable words and expressions, as though the pair - having strayed dangerously close to parody have decided to reign it in, declaring we make the rules round here. 

And they do. 

Whilst many of the textures on the album can be cross checked against celebrated European Techno of yore, it’s the unapologetic nature of SHXCXCHCXSH’s composition that marks it out against the rest. And it’s a development - where STRNGTHS might have opted for simply another cavernous kick drum, there are hooks here (see This Hmming Raverie), and bonafide musical pieces (see Monolithic Conclusion). Where others might feel ashamed that such uplifting and tonally pleasing sounds are coming out of their machines - SHXCXCHCXSH revel in this fact, warping and bending these sounds unashamedly to craft a truly singular Techno album. 

“Linear S Decoded never feels like punishment. They've replaced UK techno's sadistic carnival with a mossy softness, a reminder that while factories and cities decay and corrupt, so do cabins and farmhouses.” Andrew Gaerig, Pitchfork, 2014

French talent Hyden makes label debut on Mutual Rytm with conceptual new techno EP, ‘To Whom It May Concern’.

Hyden is a potent force in the French underground, creating powerful techno with dense percussion, immersive grooves and subtle nods to classic influences — all through his own unique lens. Having delivered standout releases in recent years, here he offers up sounds “anchored in psychoanalysis, time, and emotional residue” as he makes his mark on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint, delivering influences of dream logic and surrealism as the palette moves between brutality and introspection. “It’s hypnotic music for moments of rupture where something breaks or breaks through”.

Opener ‘Manifest Content’ is inspired by Freudian theory and explores the surface illusions of thought and dream. It's about the dissonance between what we perceive and the deeper meaning that slips away beneath and is a deep and dubby techno track with flashes of unsettling melody. ‘Bruises’ is emotional trauma made sonic. This piece delves into invisible scars and traumas, residues of past conflict or intimacy - it's slow-burning, heavy and raw. ‘Jikan’ is a meditation built on time and its erosion. Inspired by the Japanese concept of impermanence, it reflects fleeting moments, decay and the tension between stillness and motion with jacked up but warm drums and turbulent bass.

Next, ‘Free Will’ is born from inner conflict and plays with deterministic rhythms and evolving layers, questioning whether we are truly in control or just passengers in a prewritten sequence. The vocal mentions, “creatures, you’re out of time” to bring darkness to the intense but sleek rhythms. The streamlined physicality of ‘Swarm’ channels the primal force of collective movement and is a nod to the loss of individuality in group behaviour.

In addition, the package is loaded with digital bonus cuts. ‘Yumehara’ is a dive into surreal dream-states and evokes subconscious landscapes where logic dissolves and emotion reigns, while ‘Lü Bu’ is brutal and warlike and named after the legendary Chinese general that captures impulsive violence, betrayal and reckless glory with relentless energy and rhythm. Lastly, ‘Neon Pale’ is a synthetic dreamscape about fading beauty under artificial light - a melancholy ode to cities at night and the loss of warmth in modern life.

Hyden ‘To Whom It May Concern’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 19th September 2025.

[Premiere] Kaylah - Off The Grid [Kander Remix] (MRKD022)

Lenske is delighted to welcome back Ahl Iver for his second EP on the label, containing four cuts of percussive heat.

Belgian DJ/Producer Ahl Iver returns to Amelie Lens’ Lenske for his next EP. Following on from 2019’s ‘Haunted Patterns’, ‘Down The Void EP’ begins 2021 as the fifteenth release on the highly regarded Belgian techno label. Starting off strong is the robust ‘Danger Close’. An authoritative kick drum sets the pace and is quickly accompanied by a number of jolting rave elements. High pitched echoing synths ring out and strident keys punch their way through the chaos. A modern techno-rave hybrid that blends the best of both worlds.

Ahl Iver’s The Void EP drops on Lenske on February 26th

Tracklist:
A1. Danger Close A2. Lights Out
B1. Down The Void B2. Say Goodbye
