Exercises Vol.3

RELEASE DATE 20/11/2023

The infamous duo comprising label co-owner Hd Substance and scfi master A4 collide again in the studio for the third installment of their renowned exercises series. Previously released on this very label and on Inguma Records.

For this EP they want to be aside of the current fast paced trends creating five exercises of ambient, breaks, acid and the compulsory bleep portion.

Release starts with Exercise Nine, crunchy hi frequency noises, wavetable dreamy pads made on a rusty old Korg Wavestation and some spoken word action by an old scientist explaining how waveforms behave sampled from Youtube.

Second cut is the bleepy Exercise Ten, abstract asymmetrical sequences, 808 raw rhythms and a minimal approach in an ode to hyperspace. On Exercise Eleven, the 808 is starring again with a broken groove setting the pace for a Korg ms 20 sequence galore and white noise twisted live during the recording. The spoken word comes from the first cut as well as the Wavestation pads.

Exercise Twelve goes straight to the dancefloor bringing the System 55 modular system on the sequenced lines plus the odd 909/808 combo again on virtual drumming duties.

Closing the release Exercise Thirteen return to broken rhythms and Fm metallic hits plus some tb 303 blurbs to add the citric element to the equation.

With thirteen tracks already released the duo is working on a live set together that will see the light somewhen in 2024 if planet earth is still alive.

All tracks written and produced by Hd Substance & A4
Recorded @ Hd Substance Lab

Ma Haiping 
(AXIS | SOMA | MOLECULAR)

Ma Haiping stands as one of China’s most influential electronic and independent musicians, a trailblazer who has carved out a distinct space in the global Techno scene. His music is a seamless fusion of Detroit Techno traditions with Sci-Fi-infused, hypnotic soundscapes, crafting deeply immersive and futuristic tracks that captivate both dance floors and deep listeners alike.
A defining moment in Ma Haiping’s career came when his album Chang’e-4 was released on the legendary Axis Records, founded by Techno visionary Jeff Mills. Mills himself lauded the album, recognizing Ma Haiping’s ability to push sonic boundaries while staying true to the genre’s roots. This release not only marked a significant milestone for Ma Haiping but also placed him among a select group of artists who have contributed to one of the most respected Techno labels in history. In 2025, Ma Haiping signed with SOMA Records and released the single "Earthworm," strengthening his place in the global Techno music scene.
His impact on the global scene, however, was already in motion years before. In 2013, Ma Haiping made history as the first Chinese producer to release Techno in Detroit—the birthplace of the genre—with his EP The Chinese Connection on Scan 7’s Cratesaves International label. This breakthrough symbolized a cultural bridge between the East and West in Techno, highlighting his deep respect for the genre’s origins while adding his own innovative perspective.
Continuing his journey, 2015 saw the release of Crepuscular Rays on Orlando Voorn’s Nightvision label, further establishing his reputation as a producer with a keen ear for atmospheric and driving Techno. In recent years, between 2022 and 2024, Ma Haiping continued to build an impressive discography, releasing EPs such as XX 8, Collapse, Parallel Cycle, Invincible EP, and Artificial Ecstatic. These works found homes on prestigious international labels, including the UK’s Molecular Recordings, France’s Seclusion, and the USA’s Sythetik Sound, further cementing his status as a global force in the underground Techno movement.
His music has consistently garnered attention from major industry platforms. Beatport has regularly featured his tracks as some of the best Techno (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic) releases of the month, recognizing his ability to craft intricate, powerful compositions that resonate with both DJs and listeners. Esteemed media outlets such as Groove Mag, Mixmag (UK and Asia editions), and 5 Magazine have also highlighted his work, praising his ability to blend rhythmic intensity with atmospheric depth.
Beyond critical acclaim, Ma Haiping’s music has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in the industry. His tracks are frequently played by top international DJs, including Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Slam, Ben Sims, Ken Ishii, DVS1, Rødhåd, Kr!z, and Rene Wise. Their support has helped introduce his sound to dance floors across the world, reinforcing his influence in the ever-evolving Techno landscape.
His performance footprint has reached the Recombinant Festival in the United States, the Cervantes Arts Festival in Mexico, clubs in Australia, Japan, Panama, El Salvador, and other countries. His music is a journey—one that bridges the past, present, and future of the genre. As he forges ahead, he remains not just a producer but a visionary artist shaping the sound of tomorrow.
