Here the 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗙𝗙 𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗦 of February 2025, one year after. Thanks to all! :)

French label .inphase began in 2021 and are a solid outlet for twisted and hypnotic techno having previously featured notable names like Vegim, Viels, Hattori Hanzo and Pyramidal Decode.

The newest VA welcomes new artists to the fold including Portugal's Robert Hoff, Spain-based The Unborn Child, as well as fellow Sweden's Lakej who is known for his for his works on Adriana Lopez's Grey Report, Psyk's Non Series, Lewis Fautzi's Faut Section and Edit Select to name only a few.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Looming Presence" that's a wild and raw analogue trip. Powerful and huge, the outstanding, stuttering synth effects fill the airwaves like a devilish storm brewing reeking of darkness and haunting tones.

@Pyramidal-Track / @LoopainaRecords

Bandcamp - https://loopainarecords.bandcamp.com/album/isteria-lpr-v002
YouTube - https://youtu.be/X73fVUU7fao

Spain's Loopaina Records is an underground techno imprint with quality artists such as PWCCA, XHEI, A4, Linear System, HD Substance and Albert Salvatierra in their catalogue.

Their second vinyl entry comes from rising Italian star Pyramidal Decode, who lists tracks for some of the best labels out there, such as Oscar Mulero's Warm Up, Bas Mooy's Mord, Lewis Fautzi's Faut Section, Edit Select, Svreca's Semantica, Developer's Modularz, as well as our very own DEAD CERT. Records and MÉTIER.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Atto" that is an esoteric trip. Cyclical frequencies create a wall of texture and sonic depth with subtle morphing elements, while percussion highlights of cymbal crashes add to the dramatic feeling in this intense, tool-like and abstract creation.

The Architects of Shadows invites listeners to confront the forces behind the fracturing of Western societies in an era marked by profound political and cultural polarization.

@HantenMusic / @Induxtriall-Records 

Bandcamp - https://induxtriallrecords.bandcamp.com
YouTube - https://youtu.be/2EaT2sSWxbM

H. Paul‘s Spain-based label Induxtriall has been releasing quality techno for over a decade, listing appearances by artists like Stanislav Tolkachev, Cristian Varela, Dave Tarrida, PWCCA, and Joton.

The newest EP welcomes experienced resident DJ and producer, Hanten. Originally from Argentina, she now calls Valencia home and is co-founder of the Ørnament collective, 'Abyssal Rapture' shows that she is now expanding her repertoire following on from a release on U-traxx.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Deep Dive” with a hypnotic and spacey vibe. Chopping, analogue elements and a bubbling bassline form the driving force from the start, while a chiming, tone pattern is the infectious lead, adding a haunting feeling to this raw machine-fuelled cut.
