We can barely imagine a better start to the new year.
For our 21st release "Obsidian" many friends pulled together. The EP features one original track and three remixes. The original track "Obsidian" was co-composed by Sun Drine, Dit:eau, Ben Jarli and TrickyJones.

Friendship, kinship and a common passion for many shades of electronic music made these four creative spirits set foot on an adventurous trail: a spontaneous collaboration.

A studio session makes a fruitful birthday gift, and what started with the sole and humble ambition of having a good time skinny-dipping in synths & sounds, soon evolved into a harmonic workflow that none of them could have anticipated.

An outburst of rhythmic elements in a gloomy atmosphere and a rolling bassline carrying a sparkling/flamboyant breakbeat make Obsidian a tune resembling an obscure igneous rock - petrified lava that preserves its natural force, energy and heat for those special occasions.

As a senior stone mason infamous for his fine sonic carvings, Bernstein transforms the original's dark timbres into a driving and bubbly gem, a shining spherolite in a flowstone cave.
With their fierce and powerful interpretation, ki ya tori take the original to the floor, without further adue.
In the spirit of adept reductionism, avsluta's ambient mix rounds this EP off to a coherent yet versatile whole.

Terminal 5 - Blueprint Records (Preview)

After an impressive two decades career, Croatian techno scene powerhouse Insolate has released her debut album on her label Out of Place.

The album, titled "Order is Chaos," is coming out as a double vinyl and contains 10 tracks with extremely interesting collaborations, one of which is a collaboration with American-born and Berlin-based Matrixxman.  

Their collab track “Monolith” stands out from the others as being the perfect blend of their authentic styles: dark, moody and trippy repetitive techno. However, this album goes deeper than just a straight-forward techno album and you can hear that even after you listen to it for the first time. Transdimensional vocals blended in the atmospheric pads and coated with broken techno beats in a collaboration with Croatian singer Sara Renar is something we still haven’t had a chance to hear from Insolate. 

"Order is Chaos" sways and shudders from floor-obliterating bangers like acid-drenched "Circulation" to "Lust" with her trademark sound, and of course our premiere for today, the “homage track” ReWerk--a remake of the old track "Werk," she released back in 2016 on legendary Deeply Rooted.

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS165

Techno pioneer Robert Hood debuts on Rekids with a blistering release entitled ‘Nothing Stops Detroit’ ahead of an album this winter.

Over the last three decades the Underground Resistance alum has continually been at the forefront of the techno genre whilst releasing on many of electronic music’s finest labels to boot. In recent years his solo outings have appeared on a select few labels such as Dekmantel, Music Man Records, not to mention his very own M-Plant. Having made appearances on Rekids in the past remixing label boss Radio Slave - both as Robert Hood (‘Don’t Stop No Sleep’) and Floorplan (‘Feel The Same’) - the Detroit originator now drops a four track release in his official debut on the label.

With its machine aesthetic, ‘Nothing Stops Detroit’ is unmistakably Hood from start to finish. Precision kick drums propel the title track forward as stuttering effects and deep stabs work alongside a march band rhythm. ‘7 Mile Dog’ is next with its grainy synths and scintillating pads, making way for the meandering bassline, rattling atmospherics and trippy, oscillating top line of ‘Ignite A War’. Finally, ‘The Cure’ is a cacophony of twisted percussion and rumbling low-end that energetically concludes matters.
