Steve Rachmad, aka Sterac returns to Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver imprint this May to release the 'Numbers' EP.

Since his earliest days in the scene, Amsterdam's Steve Rachmad has created a legion of monikers to cover his compositions' variety and broadness. One of them being Sterac which focuses on the deeper and more obscure end of the techno genre. The Sterac discography consists of signature cuts, spread out over genre-defining labels such as M-Plant, Tresor, Klockworks, Afterlife, Mote-Evolver, Indigo Aera, and Delsin.
His 'Numbers' EP sees Steve drop the first release of 2021 under his Sterac alias as he makes a return to Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver label with four tunnelling techno tracks.
Kicking off the release is 'Ghost 37', which employs vacillating grooves, ominous synths and intricate mechanics before 'Lost Track 22' fuses sizzling 303s, dynamic drums and mammoth, alien-sounding modulations.
On the flip, 'Rey Fur 2.1' keeps the energy flowing with a high-impact clapper featuring bustling fx and expansive tones until 'Tr-15' masterfully rounds off the EP with twisting synth flutters, rattling highs and hypnotic bass grooves intricately unfolding underneath.

Sterac ‘Numbers’ EP is out on Mote-Evolver on 28th May 2021.

Alien Virus Oko- Intensify (Original Mix)

 First pressing in very limited red 180g vinyl.

Andre Kronerts seminal EXU EP gets a comprehensive rework from some of the most outstanding on the scene. Tense and sinister new cuts from Kronert introduce both sides of the release, whilst the label calls upon remixes from Berlin mainstays Efdemin and Ed Davenport, as well as Hollands finest export Juan Sanchez, plus Stockholm LTD label boss Par Grindvik alongside fellow Swede Peder Mannerfelt.

Retaining the slurred vocal of the original, Efdemin layers thundering effects over chasmic bass in his mix of Into The Zone, which saw heavy rotation last year. Meanwhile Davenport brings a wild yet streamlined intensity to C.O.D.E.2.
Side B sees Grindvik team up with Mannerfelt to provide a joint interpretation of Into The Zone, which they manipulate into a peak-time epic, with a soaring melody over hammering toms. Finally, Juan Sanchez channels funk through Roll The Dice with a twitchy, groove-laden rework.

The spirit of EXU is made physical once again via 12 inches and 27 minutes of wax.

Ben Klock’s Klockworks has become a reference point for what modern day techno has become, for its very special 20th release Ben Klock has curated a 20-track compilation representative of the label’s past, present and future. 

With the significance of the catalog number approaching, Ben decided to put together a collection of tracks from all Klockworks artists, including himself, the final oeuvre from the late Trevino, some up-and-coming artists and those who have never released before. Each deliver one track to assemble a compilation which plays as an album, not only for the dance floor but ranging through from techno to deep atmospheres to left-field to acid and house.

With the support of DVS1 and Etapp Kyle, both protégées of the label touring alongside Klock since their debut, each deliver tracks that explicate their diverse talents. Heiko Laux as well as Benny Rodrigues who created his alias ROD to release Klockworks 07 back in 2011, go outside the box to contribute dream-like melodies. While Steve Rachmad, under his more techno-centric alias Sterac, and the artist behind Klockworks 18, Jay Clarke, both present a hypnotic intensity. Trevino’s legacy remains with his stunning contribution, a track he entitled ’Sombre Tones’ that Ben Klock has been using so far to open each Photon set as well as the event series official video.  

Dax J, one of techno’s rising stars is included as a new face to the label as well as Jon Hester, Troy, Ritzi Lee, Reus, High Position, Yoikol, and Adam Craft. Newa, a female artist joining the roster from Tbilisi who will also be returning soon; and Vincent, having the honor to deliver the closing track, finishes off with an unmistakable house jam to illuminate any dance floor.

The impressive three-double EP package is due out at the end of September and includes artwork created by Ben Klock who is responsible for each Klockworks record design to date.

Since his first record dropped in 2010, UK producer Blawan has been gradually rewriting the techno rulebook while making hardware mayhem as one half of Karenn and dropping solo releases on labels like Hessle Audio, Clone, R&S and his own Ternesc imprint. However, despite all that activity, he's somehow never released a full-length album – until now. The highly anticipated 'Wet Will Always Dry' LP is slated to arrive on June 18, but ahead of that we debuted the ominous sounds of "Stell" on First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Marcel Dettmann - Shatter Proof

MOTE055 - Planetary Assault Systems - Engage Now - Straight Shooting EP

Blueprint returns for its first release of 2019 with a new EP from the gifted mind of label boss, James Ruskin.

‘Reality Broadcast Off’ consists of three abundantly immersive cuts from this UK Techno pioneer. The EP opens with its searing title track and an ever-developing kaleidoscope of percussion. ‘We Are Everywhere’ follows, blending metallic sounds with a warmer groove, before the compressed acidity of ‘Disaffection’, which was recently premiered on Marcel Dettmann’s Residency show on BBC Radio 1, rounds off this three-pronged attack.
