With the release of our third annual Various Artists Compilation, we’re celebrating three years of LAPS Recordings—and honestly, we can hardly believe it ourselves. What started as a small hobby project has grown into a solid underground label with a clear vision, a loyal community, and a catalogue were genuinely proud of. To mark this anniversary, VA003 brings together a diverse collection of tracks that reflect the full spectrum of our sound—from deep, hypnotic techno to high-energy peak-time bangers, groovy minimal cuts, and melodic journeys. It’s a snapshot of everything LAPS stands for: quality, diversity, and an uncompromising dedication to underground music. This year's edition features a blend of familiar faces and exciting newcomers. Some of the artists on this compilation have already become a part of the LAPS family through past releases, while others are making their debut—some of whom you'll definitely hear more from in the coming months. This VA acts as both a celebration and a preview of what’s to come. In a time when the techno scene is shifting rapidly—and not always to everyone’s liking—we want to take this moment to reaffirm who we are. We’re committed to pushing forward with an open mind, staying true to our roots, and supporting innovative, quality-driven electronic music in all its forms. Most importantly, we want to say thank you—to the artists who trust us with their music, to the dancers and DJs who keep the tracks alive on dancefloors, and to everyone who's been part of this journey so far. Here’s to three years—and to many more.

With the release of our third annual Various Artists Compilation, we’re celebrating three years of LAPS Recordings. Time to enter more experimental territories: known LAPS-Members since day one, Kid Kun and Van Kost are back with two groovy breakbeat tunes! Kid Kun’s "1 4 The System" is dark, driving and a pleasure for every sounddesign enthusiast. Van Kost follows with "Liquid Black" which is more chill and dub-influenced. Last but not least we welcome "Timo Haege" from Hamburg, a good friend of our crew with his raw, minimalistic and experimental tune "WFSP"

With the release of our third annual Various Artists Compilation, we’re celebrating three years of LAPS Recordings! We are hyped to welcome back our latest family member Lu:cas as well as Hach (DE) for the double amount of Peak-Time power! "Game Over" is the perfect tune for every hour: chill, atmospheric but also driving and energetic! Hach follows in his familiar driving, melancholic and Trance-influenced style with "Always In My Heart" - two tunes that are definetly worth listening to!

With the release of our third annual Various Artists Compilation, we’re celebrating three years of LAPS Recordings! For the first single we welcome back IN-Sane from Italy and it’s a pleasure to welcome a new face to the family: hinueber from South Germany! He opens up the VA with a groovy, Minimal-influenced Melodic-Techno tune named "Moti". IN-Sane follows with his familiar percussive and driving Peak-Time sound: "Blackout" is a dark, energetic track that shouldn’t be missing on any Peak-Time playlist!

With the release of our third annual Various Artists Compilation, we’re celebrating three years of LAPS Recordings! The seventh and final single of this year’s VA comes from Mind Chemistry, the long-standing duo project of our label founders, teaming up with Ekko and Hans Pech. "Smoke Up" is a raw, genre-bending Hard Techno cut that fuses the past and present: distorted Industrial and Schranz elements meet punchy 303s and percussive layers, while a grimey UK vocal and rave stabs add a modern touch. As if that wasn’t enough, the break dives into full-on Drum & Bass before slamming back into a filthy Oldschool drop. A bold finish to the VA—and a proper nod to our roots.

Fühlst du den Schmerz

[H33RECVA004]

We’re proud to drop our next full-length album, and this one hits different. For our fourth album, we wanted to do something truly special. So we turned our focus inward — to our city, our roots — and invited only artists from Nuremberg to be part of this release.

The mission? Just pure local talent. To showcase the depth, diversity, creativity, and raw energy our hometown has to offer.

From hard-hitting beats to smooth grooves, this album crosses genres without limits.
Welcome to the sound of our city.

🌑 Sound Escape VI – The Vortex of What’s to Come 🌑
"Don’t listen to understand... listen to dissolve."

This is not just a release. Sound Escape VI is a tear in the fabric of convention — a signal that the known is no longer enough. Every year, this series has stood as a defiance of patterns. A portal for those who seek something unrepeatable.

Sound Escape has always been just that: an escape.
A rejection of the ordinary.
An arrow pointing forward.
A vortex that reshapes everything it touches.

In this sixth edition, each track is either a rescue or a vision:
— Some pull forgotten truths from the rawness of early trance, from hypnotic techno’s primal edge, from the pulse of the underground.
— Others reach ahead — showing glimpses of new ways to feel rhythm, to move energy, to exist through sound.

What you’re hearing isn’t a trend.
It’s not nostalgia.
It’s a transmission from what doesn’t yet exist.

We’ve done it before. We’ll do it again.
Because escape isn’t about running away —
It’s about making space for what no one else dares to imagine.
