Runemark Records proudly delivers a beautiful comeback of Teologen with already the 17th release in the label catalog. This time Teologen presents two solo compositions as well as two more created and recorded together with SHMN. A four track EP pack includes brilliant dance floor anthems where each and everyone has got its own atmosphere and feelings, feels like all of them are living on their own. The opening 'Shadow Work' is pulsating, energetic Techno with dreamy vocals that brings tasty subtlety to the whole track. A perfect intro to the rest of the EP. The second collaboration between Teologen and SHMN 'Sola Gratia Sola Techno' delivers housier beats and deeper sounds with an uplifting flow. The amazing vocals fulfill the composition by adding some dramatic delicacy. Third track in the pack 'Into Recourse' is a solo composition by Teologen. A bright and light mood created by atmospheric pads, noisy cuts and artist's vocals. The last but not least 'Standing Here I Bleed' delivers mystery from the first chords. Trippy vocals together with tribal and minimal beats creates dark and atmospheric sense. 'Archetypal Recource' EP is available only in digital format in all digital music stores.
Enjoy the music!
Runemark team.

Following the Stardancer EP and his remix for All I Need To Get High by Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons, Ae:ther unveils his most accomplished and daring work yet on the highly anticipated debut album Me released on Crosstown Rebels.

Blazing a trail with his natural aptitude for crafting emotive, captivating compositions that have landed him releases on Crosstown Rebels Afterlife and Fabric, Ae:ther presents his debut LP. The album is a painstakingly produced collection of haunting melodies and narcotic rhythms that display his love and inspiration for ambient electronica, deep underground music and introspective atmospheres, culminating in dreamlike soundscapes programmed with taut percussion. The album begins on Stardancer, setting the tone with gentle keys and space influenced licks that portray a cosmonaut ascending into the stratosphere. This moves into the glistening, atmospheric Finferli, where synths depict aliens conversing in a distant, just-discovered world. Sub-aquatic ambient fills We’ll be Together, boosts of energy and intricate melodies weave in and out of the vocal,
locked to the dubby groove.

Ice cold subtlety and the otherworldly electronics of Costes drip slowly like water down a pane of glass. A mood of relaxation and weightlessness continues on Tina, a tender beat combined with pattering echoed chimes. N.62, a special ethereal piece, features warm chords and reduced percussion, gradually developing like the morning sun rising.

Mysterious, playful charm unfurls on Elf, progressive harmony teases towards a crescendo before dropping back into the hypnotic beat. Clark is light and airy, funky melody constructing an interplanetary anthem. Stimulating a brooding mood, fuzzy clicks and glitches dance on the deep bass of Spektre II, conveying dust spraying off the surface of a moon landing. The shimmering ripples of electronica on title track Me fuse with delicate human vocals creating a heart-warming, personal account of Ae:ther’s relationship with his instruments. Trademark bleeps and blips wash over natural broken beats in one last final call to his utopia in the album outro.

Frankey is the alias of Frank Beckers, also known as one half of the Berlin duo Frankey & Sandrino. They have notched up a series of stellar releases on labels such as Kompakt, Innervisions, Diynamic or their own label Sum over Histories - and Frankey now drops a his second release on Poker Flat Recordings - the fantastic Sing-EP. 
Utilising almost two decades of production experience, Sing is a supremely assured track - a thick, infectious groove exhibiting nuanced sound design while fragments of piano lead the subtle melodic development. It’s got class written all over it. 
Satellite is cut from the same cloth - Frankey’s attention to detail particularly in the mix makes for a dancefloor track that is both laser sharp and deeply affecting - the drums knock while the chords and effects take the track into space.

The singular sounds of Coeus’ ‘Beyond Dreaming’ make an indelible mark on Afterlife Recordings.

Coeus appeared on Realm Of Consciousness Pt.IV with ‘Eden’ and now displays the full range of his talents in four distinctive and captivating compositions. This is melodic techno with flair, where each track is brimming with ideas and adventurous execution. Imagine the title track ringing out at sunset or ‘Lucent’ taking you deeper into the journey of a night. Coeus evokes strong feelings with all his music, nowhere more so than on this new EP.

An inspired collaboration which delivers more than the sum of its parts.

Innellea and Kevin De Vries have both broken through in the past couple of years, pushing distinctive, high-energy sounds for the floor. On the ‘Hoffnungsschimmer’ EP, the colourful tones of Innellea’s synth work and Kevin’s hard-hitting drama are a perfect match, resulting in three diverse and unique creations. ‘Das Licht’ and ‘Mondfinsternis’ are both euphoric, peak-time efforts full of stirring elements and forward motion. The title track’s more downtempo atmosphere and breakbeats balance the EP into a rounded whole.

Showcasing Betical’s UK influences with their punchy nod to a certain Belfast duo, ‘Icon’ is a guaranteed mainstay of any discerning DJs box ever since the legendary John Digweed opened his Glastonbury Gas Tower Stage stream with Betical’s gem - which is also remixed by Shall Ocin [Ellum | Clash Lion].

Release info:
"Infinite Depth already reached its 20th EP and for this release the label welcomes the Argentinian U S H N U. To make this EP pretty special, he delivered seven outstanding originals. This EP almost can be seen as a mini-album and goes from regular ‘four-on-the-floor’ to ambient to breakbeat. Yet, U S H N U managed to inject every track with his characteristic minimalistic, emotional and a bit dark sound. Not left unnoticed is that he recorded all vocals himself.

The EP starts off with an ambient track, called ‘Road To Nowhere’. First an intriguing melody comes through, which builds up together with the vocals to its highest point. All combined, setting the tension for everything that’s coming next.

‘Esmeril’ goes through on the tension set by ‘Road To Nowhere’. In here the minimalistic sound design of the EP already comes forward pretty noticeable. Percussion and synths are communicating with each other while flowing through a broad spectrum of audial space.

‘Cløser’ is the third track of the EP. Through this track U S H N U managed to bring the groove into the collection. The groovy lower part and percussion got accompanied by his gently suppressed vocal, which is not meant to be the center of the track, but it’s playing an important part in the impressive wholeness of the track.

The second ambient track is called ‘Venom’ and forms the bridge between the first and the second part of the EP. The high pitched synths and sharp hats are reaching the ears as a good-natured venom, which are forming a somewhat harmonious interplay with the lower frequencies.

Harmony is taken to a next level in ‘Where Are Your Heroes’. In this one the breakbeats are coming through during the beautiful intro. This intro opens the gate to a place where everything and everyone are living together in harmony and where no heroes are needed, because there is no evil.

‘Defected Resurrection’ brings back the darkness. Where there was no evil before, this track hits you with vicious synth-work and heavy kicks. All fitting into the frames of U S H N U his characteristic style.

From start till end it’s clear why the title track, ‘Diamond Tears’, is chosen to be the final track of this fascinating EP. The track has an emotional closing vibe and brings a satisfied feeling with him. A feeling which forms the perfect completion of this collection of seven original tracks, that are forming the 20th EP of the label."

U S H N U - Diamond Tears

PREMIERE: U S H N U - Venom (Original Mix) [Infinite Depth]

Theia is an ancient planet that might have collided with Earth some billions of years ago. It is said that from this collision our moon was born.

The song describes the end of a relationship, where after the collision and the union, everybody walks their paths alone again - just like Earth and Theia.

Applied Magic's second release is comprised of three different versions - Aldebaran's uptempo Original, a drifting Ambient version and a catchy remix by labelhead Aera – and it's a hopeful reminder that the future of electronic music is still a wide open space, full of possibilities and without limits.
