To shape modern-day sound while paying homage to the old days. An ethos that has always been at the core of Frenzy as a community, event organizer, and record label. Through this second VA release, Frenzy seeks to extend its exploration of the ‘now’ and the ‘then’ with a double vinyl release with no less than 12 tracks representing their trademark sound. Buckle up - it’s time to step into the time machine of speed and light.

The vibey A-side starts with a bang by the dynamic Swiss/Italian duo Funk Assault (Chlär & Alarico) followed by uplifting, lighthearted productions by Amsterdam’s finest Undivulged and Lobster. On the B-side, local talent Levzon kicks it off with a playful melody-led groover, while Nicolas Vogler gets into the rhythmic drums and Ruiz OSC1 delivers an aquatic dub workout.

Heavyweight TWR72 introduces the C-side in full effect with a hypnotic, driving tension builder, followed by a wonky looped-out production by Hemka. Insolate is the perfect final addition to this side with a steady minimalist puncher for the in-between energy shifts. The D-side takes off at stellar speed with Cravo, raising the peak hour pressure. Jannik Abfalg channels the energy to more bright scenery as ANNĒ completes the record in style with a vocal-induced trip through early morning dancefloor freshness.

To go full circle, the release is accompanied by four digital-only bonus tracks by none other than Antic Soul, Edvvin, JSPRV35, and Hyden. Productions balance in-between stripped-down rhythms and heavy-duty rollers, showcasing what Frenzy is all about. The full digital album comes for free with the purchase of the vinyl release.

Stripped-down grooves, varying speeds, pulsating bass lines - this FRNZYVA002 is all killer no filler. Please note that this is a limited edition release that can be ordered via Bandcamp or your favourite record distributors.

Original tracks written, produced, arranged and recorded by Kipras Padribonis in Vilnius, Lithuania.

GARS007+LTD. Mastering by Pranas Gudaitis aka audiomastering.lt. Artwork and Design by Mantas Lukoševičius. Published by copyright control. (P) and (C) Gars Records, Vilnius, 2024. www.garsrecords.com

Kipronno is a new musical project that focuses on movement oriented but also storytelling techno music. With a fair amount of experience in the music field, he aims to combine his understanding with new technology that comes along the way. Kipronno aka Kipras developed a fascination with music at a young age, becoming a resident DJ at his local club when he was just a teenager. Continuing his music journey, he moved to London where he finished a Music Production and Technology course and performed in multiple clubs and bars such as Shelter, Egg, Traffic and Ministry of Sound under a project called Empathy Slow. Later Kipras moved up north to study at Edge Hill University where he completed a Media, Music and Sound degree. This provided him with a broader musical exploration and taught him more about synthesis and live performance. While living in the north of England, Kipras occasionally DJ’ed in local clubs and on radio shows. Since returning to Lithuania, he has played in Yaga Gathering festival, private events and in Haxan Club where he performed as Kipronno officially for the first time.

He is very excited to shift his focus to the genre that speaks to him the most and present his Debut EP “Voyager” including six original tracks that tell us a story of a journey with a bumpy ride and the will to reach your destination.

After releasing five sold out various artists EP’s featuring 25 artists, positivesource is excited to present a new chapter for the label with a diverse and anthemic EP from Berlin based producer Regent.

No stranger to the label, Regent contributed to src005 last year with his smooth techno roller ‘Off Agenda’ alongside music from Neri J, Alpha Tracks, Vil & Cravo. His tracks have featured heavily in DJ sets by label founders Blue Hour and Philippa Pacho over the years, naturally the idea to present the first artist EP on positivesource with Regent comes as no surprise. The record starts on a hypnotic tip with ‘Occult’, grooving along with an infectious bass-line swung beats and blissed out atmospherics before stepping up the energy levels on ‘Khmera’, a relentless chord driven percussive anthem with nostalgic vocals rising to new heights. On the flip the title track ‘Aphid Riot’ is bold and vibrant leaning heavily into UK flavours using sliced up vocals, breakbeats and a classic ‘Reece’ bass-line. Completing the record is a ‘broken’ version of ‘Aphid Riot’ highlighting an ethereal tonal melody with a deeper and more introspective take on the original. It’s a new sound exploration from the producer, demonstrating his versatility and perhaps a rare moment in his discography.

HLNDR - BLOCK [FREELAB8] (FREE DOWNLOAD)

The 9th Release for our Groove Edits Series is provided by Swedish DJ and producer HLNDR

HLNDR has been profoundly in love with electronic music for as long as he can remember. Growing up, his parents' taste for house music rubbed off on him and has never left since. 

While HLNDR's productions initially drew inspiration from mainstream house legends such as Avicii and SHM, they have since evolved and found their new home in the groovier parts of techno. With a blend of hip hop and hardgroive, HLNDR is now proud to join Deadline Records to share his signature sound.

HLNDR - Clockin Dollars

he Syndicate is the manifestation of an organization that emerges in silence yet with determination, like a pact of shared glances and deep understandings. Here, we are the Black Tie Cartel, with explicit codes: to create true techno. There is an invisible bond uniting 24 creative and visionary minds from 12 different countries, all in sync with the pulse that defines techno in its pure and essential state. In this first edition: Italy, Germany, Colombia, Brazil, Spain, Argentina, the Netherlands, Chile, Sweden, Singapore, Australia, and Denmark, united by a language that transcends borders.

The Syndicate is not merely a medium; it is the pulse that breathes life into each beat. It is a various artists series that operates as a web of consciousness, deeply committed to an exploration of techno that embraces both its tribal roots and its futuristic possibilities. Each of the 24 tracks carries a fragment of the creator's story and thoughts, and together they trace a path that traverses rhythms, textures, and frequencies.

This group doesn't seek to fill the vessel; they are the water itself, the flow and essence that shapes the container. The meaning of all this lies not at the end of the road, but in each step we take. The Syndicate is that experience—a journey not defined by final destinations, but by the authenticity of each production and the depth of each sound. In a world of noise and distraction, these artists choose precision and intention, setting aside intellect and rationality to let the spirit of techno speak for itself.

This is the moment when control is reclaimed—a formal, almost imperceptible force that transforms and guides with serenity. They do not need to declare their power; their presence emanates it. The Syndicate is not just a series; it is an order, a dedication, and perhaps a moving meditation that challenges the audience to dive in, to think, and to lose themselves in the deepest corners of sound.

Get ready and take the seatbelt off.
No, this is not because of the danger that has passed. Rather it is in order to rein in the weightlessness.
Who says that the Contact is going to take place in our natural environment? We will try to be ready for that.
The unknown frightens and at the same time it envelops with attempts to find out what is that.
However, we are going to learn for sure who or what we are dealing with, as it is inevitable. So take it slow because there is a little eternity to spare.
