“As long as I stared at the clock, at least the world remained in motion. Not a very consequential world, but in motion nonetheless. And as long as I knew the world was still in motion, I knew I existed. Not a very consequential existence, but an existence nonetheless. It struck me as wanting that someone should confirm his own existence only by the hands of an electric wall clock. There had to be a more cognitive means of confirmation. But try as I might, nothing less facile came to mind.”

Subtlety and class are what ultimately set apart certain techno releases from the multitude of records coming out each week. With this new four track EP on M_REC Ltd. Grey Series, Echologist (aka Brendon Moeller) skillfully incorporates a wide range of ideas, delivering an affective and fascinating piece of unconventional far out techno. 'Impossibility', the opening track, stands at the crossroad of dub techno and so-called mutant house, with its mean bass drum carrying a smooth analog melody through a field filled with sharp and trippy sounds, in a journey that is dark and sexy at the same time. 'Geographica' is more experimental, with its proggy and psychedelic sounds laid on a set of mutating beats traveling through rawness and distortion. Stuff that can only come out of real machines. On the flip side, 'Too Far Gong' is an oppressive and haunting track: dark spaced out electro. The closing track, 'Drug Company' remains on the same trajectory, but pusher things farther on an heavier dubby drumscape, taking advantage of the brain-liquifying properties of piercing sounds. Meant to belong in every dark and uncompromising set.

Felix Kröcher - Promoset September 2013 - Part 1

" There is nothing left to watch but fire and the night: circle within circle, light within light. Messages arrive in the net where discrete pulses cross. Parametal engines of joy and disaster give them wave and motion. We interpret and defeat their terms by terminus. The night? What of it. It is filled with bestial watchmen, trammeling the extremities and the interstices of the timeless city, portents fallen, constellated deities plummeting in ash and smoke, roaming the apocryphal cities, the cities of speculation and reconstituted disorder, of insemination and incipience, swept round with the dark.”

Juho Kahilainen -the man who actually inspired label owner Max_M to conceive the Grey Series sublabel- returns with a new EP of experimental excursions that delve into the darkest realms of dance music.
From the opener 'In Umbra', the sense of freedom and detachment from genres' standards and limitations is palpable. It's a tense, stripped down drum pattern that might adhere to the recent resurgence of broken beats, hosting a breathtaking and unapologetic melody from the heyday of idm that only ends in a sea of bass reverbs. Undefinable.
'Xemx' has a regular 4/4, rich with vintage analog sounds. The thick layer of spacey and sinister soundwaves that slowly grows inside it reinforces the thematic nature of the EP, inspired by the artist's emotional reflections on the "Dyson sphere", a scientific concept imagining a system of orbiting solar-power satellites meant to completely encompass a star and capture most or all of its energy output.
On the flipside 'Coronal Loop' is an exercise in analog techno shamanism. You could say that this is a friendlier track, gelid and dark, but with that forward-driving bassline that defines irresistible techno.
Closing the EP, 'The Fuck Up' is a similar experiment where the loops gets nastier, interestingly enhanced by elements of raw Detroit techno. It's mind-bending dance music dedicated to those who lose themselves captured by the properties of good techno.
Max_M and his Grey Series continue to grant freedom to artists deviating from cliches and formulas. Juho's "Dyson Sphere" encompasses that exact desire.

Clouds - Chained To A Dead Camel (Original Mix)

M_Rec Ltd 20 - Coefficient – Blood Red ep

A1: Subsurface
A2: Tesseract
B1: Blood Red
B2: Point of Departure

Release date: March 2014 (Vinyl)

OVERVIEW:
The world of M_Rec refocuses on unassuming and dedicated dancefloor tracks with this release on the original Ltd. imprint by british producer and sound engineer Coefficient. Steering away from the saturated world of big and harsh techno, Coefficient concentrates on the craft of reviving and re-exploring archetypical mind-altering techno, rooted halfway between the American midwest and the heyday of british rave culture.

The opening 'Subsurface' takes advantage of a groovy refrain to showcase uplifting drum programming and shadowy soundscapes. A great set opener to put the room in the right mindset. Things get a little darker with 'Tesseract'. While the intricate patterns and basslines play the integral part in the track, there are intriguing melodies interplaying to make things sexier and affectively trippy. 
On the flip side, EP title track 'Blood Red' is a more maximal experiment, definitely meant to shake things up. Throughout this joint the synths get bigger and state-inducing, while the bass drum keeps things forward driving. It's a traditional loop-driven track that belongs in the apex of a proper techno set. Closing track 'Point of Departure' rediscovers British leftfield electronica and celebrates the early morning hours of outdoor raves. It's a track dedicated to the last few people standing, rich of melody and delays.

M_Rec Ltd 21 - Forward Strategy Group - Levity

A: A Marvel
B1: Levity
B2: Learned

Release date: June 2014 (Vinyl)

OVERVIEW:
The duo behind Forward Strategy Group returns with their first release in almost a year. Following the success of the “Labour Division” album and “The New Formal” EP (both on Perc Trax), Al Matthews (Bleaching Agent, half of Blacknecks) and Patrick Walker have worked with Max_M and his M_Rec Ltd. to bring three complex and hypnotic cuts to vinyl fans and djs around the world.
“A Marvel” sounds like an ode to the label’s vision. It’s a trippy and layered loop made of molded, elastic sounds that subtly mutate, aided by a warm, but stripped down and forward driving groove. Its crescendo is paced and systematic, a celebration of experimental techno.
On the flip side, the due brings in a small dose of their industrial heritage. Initially, “Levity” is a more brutal affair, with it’s groove formed by an unforgiving bass drum and a rolling mechanical refrain. What grows around it is unexpected thou’: with a melody of analog synths that brings back memories of the best Detroit and layers of gelid soundscapes, the drum programming shifts to the background and the track transforms into another hypnotic and brainy experiment.
It’s a similar deal with ‘Learned’, although things are a little bit more martial and aggressive here. While the atmosphere is still crepuscular and sidereal, the drum programming maintains center stage with an old school stomping loop and an ‘in your face’ bass drum.
Max_M continues to cherish relationships with dedicated techno veterans and this Forward Strategy Group release is just another chapter in the label’s celebration of underground techno.

(M_RECLTD1002 - 10")

Release Date: 29 July 2014

OVERVIEW:
Time for the second black label M_Rec Ltd 10”, a series of no-frills vinyl records used by Max_M to deliver dancefloor oriented tracks to djs and techno fans around the world.

On one side, Max_M delivers an irresistible joint that thanks to layers and layers of elements manages to surprise beginning to end. That high pitch bell sound, which is somehow becoming a trademark in Max_M’s productions, splits in multiple directions generating soulful melodies and grooves. A perfect track for peak time.

Fabrizio Lapiana’s cut is an introspective journey rich in modular-fueled melodies. Its mellow refrains pay tribute to ambient classics and trippy British electronica, while the drum programming sets the track into a techno context, groovy and forward driving.

SEFF brings a party to the New Year with the next release on the mighty Hot Creations in the form of ‘Jack’s Back’ featuring three superior club weapons.

‘Like That’ on the A-side chuggs with electronic synths and powerful raw bass, ‘Jack’s Back’ is a high energy hitter with a jackin’ ghetto vibe and the heavy duty ‘Zoot’ thunders with a Jamaican style vocal. These are compelling, peak time tracks that guarantee to erupt every dancefloor.

Joe Saunders AKA SEFF has made a huge impact with his distinct crossover style of raw, underground house and techno music, retaining attitude, swing, swagger and energy in both his productions and skilfully constructed DJ sets. Since being signed to Steve Lawler’s VIVa MUSiC in 2012, he has gone on to release on many other hugely respected labels, worked with an array of top artists, remixed Dave Seaman on Great Stuff Recordings and also was signed to Dave’s label ‘Selador’. He established Mindmaze Music as a platform to release great music from himself, established artists and new talent and it has rapidly become a favourite of many underground music lovers around the world.

Hot Creations continue to dominate the hearts of dance music, well beyond their 50th release. A platform for the pioneering partnership of Jamie Jones and Lee Foss to share the strongest releases from their musical family and discover prime new talent.

Levon Vincent – Invisible Bitchslap EP
Label: Deconstruct Music
Catalog#:DEC-01
Format:Vinyl, 12", EP, White Label, 33 ⅓ RPM 
Release: November 08

The B-side of this humorously titled release is hands down one of my favourite tracks of all time, and definitely my favourite Levon Vincent creation. One of the few records that I can honestly say is well worth the high marketplace price, though I hope my copy gives me years of play! There's really no fitting description for this shifting chugger; it's a totally melodic and dubby slice of techno with a nice, subtle tinge of house-y-ness. It keeps going and going, with every element in its perfect place. Lots of reverb and warped sounds that build a series of layered loops from some ultimately quite simple components. For me that's the mark of perfection: a fugue-like cycle that plays on a perfect kick, bass drum, etc. And did I mention there are some VERY fat synth chords? Oh, and I just listened to it again and must add that there are some sweet pitched up lasers. I've always had a soft spot for the sound of lasers! Mmmmmm, Woman Is The Devil indeed.

Kevin Gorman isn’t a man of many releases, but when he does release something, it’s always spot on. His last release was on Ostgut Ton, thanks to Ben Klock. He also has his own label, Mikrowave, and already did remixes for Cocoon, CLR, Skint etc. “Cast” is a real techno bomb, just like the Jonas Kopp remix on the flip. Not for the faint of heart!

Barker & Baumecker | Trans_it

Hugo Paixao&#8217;s &#8220;Rat Mat&#8221; is a rolling dive into sound, with characteristic synth stabs leading the way. A crackling rhythm section keeps us on our toes, while mechanized, percussive madness provides the grim backdrop.The one and only Cari Lekebusch transforms the affair into a hazy ride, with a cavernous approach engulfing all elements, without ever losing momentum. Topping it off with style, he adds some off-killter chord action to keep our ears peeled and mouth watered.

Hugo Paixao - Rat Man (Cari Lekebusch Remix)

Jason Fernandes continues his ascent to the domination of the dark side and the stomping title track demonstrates his style via industrial stabs and an intense, galloping rhythm section. On &#8220;Laid Back&#8221; we are sucked in by the rubber band bassline, while crackling drums provide the momentum for this locomotive attack.

Jason Fernandes - Curve It (Original Mix)

Maetrik - Bottom Heavy (Original Mix)

Greek warrior Spiros Kaloumenos is back on Kombination Research, and the title track busts out with a mechanized groove that holds nostalgic metallic synths and menacing subs together, whilst taking us through the shadows in style.On &#8220;Axiom&#8221;, housier chords go hand-in-hand with skipping beats and Spiros&#8217; stomping groove, allowing streamlined rises to take control.

[WNBLMTD003] Max_M - Invisible For All

The label boss The Advent teams up with Spiriakos and they deliver a great release for Kombination Research. The original mix of 'Point Of No Return' is a smooth techno production that builds early on with some nice beats and some subtle effects. Filterheadz deliver their remix on the flip and maintain some of the quirky vibe in the drum work.

The Advent & Spiriakos - Point Of No Return (Original Mix) [Kombination Research]

What happens when Bolivian hot temper meets German techno vibe? Nuclear bomb. Enrique Calvetty &amp; Maurice Deek team up to deliver this dangerous EP to Renesanz Records. 
The title track &#8220;Ambush&#8221; gets you on a ride from the first second. It keeps adding sounds and pure energy, while a nasty ragga vocal starts rolling, leaving you breathless. 
Balthazar &amp; JackRock&#8217;s remix adds more percussions and groove, twisting the vocals in a demonic way. 
The second original &#8220;Bang Bang&#8221; is a calmer tune with fancy vibe and kinky electro synths. 
You think it&#8217;s over? Nope. The last track &#8220;Jumbo Crackers&#8221; returns to the energy with a mad shuffled percussion and guitar samples in the breaks.

Enrique Calvetty & Maurice Deek - Ambush (Balthazar & JackRock Remix) [Renesanz]

Well, what can I say? I still cannot believe, Moritz von Oswald has produced a remix for us. He is the inventor of dub techno, produced "Palais Schaumburg", "Basic Channel" and "Rhythm & Sound", a pure legend!
