Bari-based talent Fedele’s Obscura Music label continues to go from strength to strength as a pioneering platform for avant-garde techno music with a leftfield twist. Following a string of poignant releases earlier in the year, the label returns in November with a generous serving of its undeniably unique sound palate provided by a carefully handpicked selection of celebrated electronic names.

Heading the bill, label boss Fedele is joined by a worthy cast of adversaries, including Damon Jee, Stephan Barnem, Works of Intent, Odd Oswald, VNTM, Rez Dorsia, Golden Virgo, Emitr, Juanito State, and Dustin Holtsberry.

Spanning thirteen tracks, The Sound Of Obscura takes you on a spirited journey through a myriad of different genre-loosened vibes. Whether it’s the marauding grittiness ‘Starfield’, the resonant darkness of ‘Healing’ or Works Of Intent’s ‘Limitless Leisure’ that spins you full of synth-rich electro-laced vocal goodness, the collectively pleasant lean away from mainstream techno and focus on sonic storytelling delivers a firm reminder of Fedele’s appeal and his artistic vision for Obscura.

Nestled between a freshly-squeezed Fedele cut, you’ll find a library of different tales. From the afro-infused glitchiness of Rez Dorsia’s ‘Ultra Lux’ right through to the pounding warehouse persona of Golden Virgo’s ‘Canadian Swinger’, it’s a celebration of everything compilations should be variety, creativity, boldness and energy, all wrapped up in an artistically digestible ball for you to enjoy on the dancefloor or the comfort of your own home.

Damon Jee - Starfield

Having galloped onto our dancefloors back in 2020 with his sure-shot ‘Lone Ranger’ EP, then followed up by ‘Meltin’’ our minds with his pure, high grade funk in ’21…. Renato Cohen returns to Pets Recordings with a fresh, high octane offering for the summer in his ’Benzine’ EP. 
The title track ignites the EP with its seismic bass and oscillating acid line. As the temperature rises, simmering nicely, Renato adds a hefty splash of cosmic seasoning and another twist of acid on ‘Frito’. 
Sufficiently toasted, we inhale the final Benzine fumes and embark on an hallucinogenic trip through cascading keys and echoing drums on closing track, ‘Wake Up’. 
More fuel to his musical fire, the Benzine EP completes a hot and spicy trio of Pets releases from the Brazilian maestro.

Brazil’s finest is back with a bang! “Drink In Paris” bears all the hallmarks of a Gui Boratto classic in the tradition of “Beautiful Life”, “Like You” or “No Turning Back”. Something’s different though… This time the vocals don’t come from Gui’s wife Luciana Villanova but from Amsterdam-based fashion designer extraordinaire LHANA MARLET. And there’s another sweet surprise: The pop-heavy original gets expertly carved into a moroderesque club banger by none other than Deep Dish legend DUBFIRE. Santé, les amis!

Just in time for summer, and another huge season of gigs across the world, Maceo Plex returns to his own Ellum Audio with a sure to be huge new single.

This is Maceo’s first outing since his excellent Mutant Robotics release in 2018, but in the months since he has continued to be a leading light in the global house and techno scene. A spellbinding performer who takes the crowd into another dimension, the Spanish based American is just as adventurous in the studio and once again casts another magical spell with this new EP.

‘When The Lights Are Out’ is a ready-made anthem that serves up a seven- minute techno trip of the highest order. It is deep and masterfully melodic, of course, with slick drums setting an inviting mid-tempo pace and the melancholic chords adding lasting emotion to the groove. A heartfelt female vocal is the centrepiece that will get hands in the air this summer and ensure this record stays firmly lodges in record boxes worldwide.

Next to an instrumental, there is a Late Night Mix that is more driving and electrifying, with glossy synths shining bright in the expansive skies above the drums.

This is the sound of a melodic techno master at work and is another landmark release for both artist and label.

After a brilliant contribution to Truesoul’s V/A in 2017, OC & Verde land their debut EP on the imprint.

It’s been a little under two years since the Mancunian duo dropped ‘Naaki’ on Truesoul’s VA compilation, giving label followers the first taste of their classy sound. The duo’s imitable knack for producing groove-driven dancefloor heat make them a dream fit for Adam Beyer’s daytime sets and when the label boss warmed up Drumcode Festival playing B2B with Ida Engberg on day 2, it was OC & Verde’s ‘Cloak & Dagger’ that highlighted the early shift. 

The perfect primer, ‘Cloak’ builds anticipation in spades thanks to its slick mix of exotic chords, tribal chants and incessant bass melody that runs throughout. By contrast, ‘Dagger’ is intended as the stirring closer to a party, marked by swirling synth effects, pads and a dramatic melody line.
