Always nice to expand the kraftek family of artists as we welcome German producer Shadym to the fold. 2 heavy tracks with instant floor appeal for those pockets around the world that will manage to be the first to welcome techno fans back with public events. Usually working within the hard techno genre, Shadym's reduced tempo here manages to maintain all the power of his harder productions within a more cosmic framework. Incredible EP from one of techno's rising stars.

Hailing from Venice but currently in Berlin, Italian DJ/Producer Nico Cabeza boasts an impressive catalogue of releases on Riot Recordings, Unrilis, Respekt Recordings and many more. Nico is set to expand his archive of musical works in January as he joins Victor Ruiz’s VOLTA imprint for his debut release on the label. Spread across three individually unique tracks, Cabeza’s ‘Laguna’ EP sees in the new year with an immersive influx of high-quality techno production and artistic expression.‘Laguna’ plunges the listener into a deepened array of groove-bringing tonal percussion, intricate hat sequences and punchy kicks. Progressively expanding from the track’s core, you’ll find an encapsulating combination of synth and bass arps fuse into the backdrop of resonant pads, sweeping FX and atmospheric breaks to carve out an energetic melodic techno roller with subtle, ethereal nuances throughout.‘Repressed Memories’ shows a firmer edge to Cabeza’s work. Booming kickdrums and hissing hat grooves lead alongside reverberated acid stabs. Another prominent synth arp makes the centrepiece, surrounded by a vignette of pounding beats, coarse, bleeding bass notes and corrosive chords, all brought together by a head-turning soulful vocal hook. The release ends with the ‘Terrazza Danieli’ mix of the title track, exhibiting Nico’s love of Trip-Hop. Inspired by its namesake, which offers unparalleled views of his native Venice.

Spring Sampler 2024

Vellichor & Raev Andersen - Yemayá [Stellar Fountain]

Hungary-based artists Heaven INC. and Ákos Győrfy team up for a standout double A-side release, Fall To Pieces / Arrakis, on Francesco Pico's esteemed Magnitude Recordings.

The release opens with Heaven INC.'s original Fall To Pieces, a dreamy, melodic progressive house cut that blends lush atmospheres with emotive grooves. Ákos Győrfy follows up with a deeper, more introspective remix, offering a nuanced take that dives into the subtle side of the genre. The release closes with Arrakis, a collaborative effort between the two artists. With its rolling basslines and hypnotic drive, it's a peak-time progressive weapon destined for dance floors.

After Kollaps & No Mind-Reso [Mellon Place Records]

Intec is known to many a Techno fan as a scene leading label set up by the iconic Carl Cox who has been at the forefront of DJ culture since the early 90’s.

Boasting a roster of artists including the label boss himself plus Nicole Moudaber, Jon Rundell, Marco Bailey, Carlo Lio, Cristian Varela and Dosem amongst many others of a similar calibre.

The new Intec release welcomes back Fabio Neural who along with seven previous releases on Intec, many will also recognise Fabio from imprints such as SCI+TEC, Intacto, KD Music, Serkal and Adam Beyer’s label Truesoul.

Fabio now travels the globe regularly DJ’ing on the same line up scene leaders like Richie Hawtin, Chris Liebing and Sven Väth.

An exciting talent yet to peak, this four track solo EP is a fine example of why Italian born Fabio has earned international respect and a fan base that spans continents.

“Bonzai” opens the release with looped pads that are packed with tension and sound almost like a warning siren, whilst muffled vocals create a sense of curiosity and menacing bass stabs add to the tracks overall intensity. Relenting only for the euphoria of the main breakdown, this dancefloor focused Techno track is both dark and furious.

Second on the release is “Inside Me” that fuses the rising tones of a soulful vocal with heavy percussion and a grinding bass line. Its rolling groove brought to life with claps and fast flowing hi-hats can only be described as peak time Techno at its best.

Track three titled “Seligman” is led by a pulsating lead synth that morphs into twisted acid with a hypnotic groove. Snares add to the tracks powerful forward momentum and textured FX create a sense of wide open space, which gives the track a vast and epic sound.

Finishing the EP is “Sick Boy” which takes its name from the hair-raising vocal which states “I’m going to tear your soul apart”. Sick and twisted, the track’s sinister lead synth adds to its chilling vibe and haunting atmosphere, but like any thrill seeker knows… it’s the compelling suspense and threat of impending doom that speaks the most excitement!

We're very proud to present the 90th release of Orange Recordings!! Wo else then label head honcho Steve Mulder could do the honours on this monumental #90. 

With the single "Plankton" Steve brings dark techno together with classic sounding strings to create a melodic anthem which we think will do some serious damage world wide damage!

On remix label favourite Richie Santana returns with a raw pounding version which takes the original to the next level!

And to complete the release we welcome newcomers DaGeneral & Darmec to Amsterdam's Orange Recordings with their amazing remix.
