Machine is a club night championing new & upcoming techno, founded in 2011 by UK techno heavyweights Ben Sims & Kirk Degiorgio.
 
Since it’s inception the guys have hosted 6 parties in London as well as editions at El Row Barcelona, Fabrik Madrid, Trouw Amsterdam, Berghain Berlin and more; Machine has set a precedent for booking only high quality and forward thinking guests - such as Robert Hood, Surgeon, Kevin Saunderson, Rolando, Adam X, Untold, A Made Up Sound, Luke Slater, Oscar Mulero, James Ruskin and many more, encouraging all to break away from their comfort zones to follow the Machine theme of new and unreleased music, with stunning results. 
  
This September, Machine presents a very special lineup – 2 rooms, 4 DJs, each playing an long sets over Corsica Studio’s famous Funktion-1 rigs.
 
Joining Ben & Kirk are 2 of their current fave party rockers… RØDHÅD has made a name for himself as one of Berlin’s most forward thinking DJs. His reputation is of playing seamless sets of Techno & House - while keeping the mood deep and powerful. His recent Boiler Room set is regarded as one of the best shows in the series yet. Also worth checking is this mnmlssg article on him: http://mnmlssg.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/ssg-special-rdhad.html 
 
ROD is an alias of Rotterdam based House stalwart Benny Rodrigues, famed for his peak time sets that see him drop everything from jacking Chicago House to Detroit machine funking Techno plus hosting a series of ROD NACHT events where he plays all night long. As an recording artist he has contributed to Ben Klock's Klockwork label, Chris Liebings CLR, Adam Beyers Drumcode and Slams Soma, so it's fair to say he's certainly a DJs favourite with his studio work too. 
 
Machine resident & curator Ben Sims plays a very special extended DJ set after the UK debut of his live set at the July party. Known for his intensity and dextrous skill on the decks, he has built a deserved reputation as one of the UK’s most in-demand and respected techno producer and DJs. 
 
Fellow Machine resident and co-founder Kirk Degiorgio completes the lineup. With decades of experience in the UK scene, Kirk is commonly acknowledged as the first high-profile DJ to move completely to using Ableton and in September he'll be digitally dropping a 4 hour set of new Techno, featuring a wealth of upcoming material from his ART label and of course forthcoming gems from the man himself. 

Ben Sims - Raw Hide (Free Download)

Uncompromising techno label !Organism turn to Italian talent Peja for their next EP, which takes a turn into some serious acid, and comes with a remix from Kalden Bess. 
 
Peja is Italian producer Amedeo Mazzotti, someone who has released on labels like Hidden Blindspot and Jeton and who has received support and plays from the likes of techno tastemakers Richie Hawtin and Carl Cox, so his credentials are assured. 
 
The first track he turns in is ‘Acid Planet’, a track propelled by kicks drums in over drive, a vast and all consuming bassline and plenty of subtle whistles, sheet metal sounds and, eventually, just when you think you cant go any higher – some well worked acid lines. 
 
The remixes comes from fast rising Montreal producer Kalden Bess. His sound is dark and CLR indebted and he also runs his own Ground factory label much to the delight of techno fans everywhere. His remix is less streamlined and rawer in texture than the original. The drums slap and sand paper hi hats ride along side as all acid is stripped from the track. It’s a dark and involving record that will help you lose your mind on the dancefloor in the late night hours. 
 
Peja’s other original is ‘Cosmic Geometry’, with kicks buried so deep they make the earth rumble. Warm streams of air seem to percolate within the mix and sparks of electricity peel off in various directions. It’s heads down stuff designed more maximum destruction. 
 
!Organism never fail to come up with their own unique take on techno and this new EP from Peja is yet another feather in their bow.

Acid Planet (Original Mix)

Authentic Pew enters 2014 with a 11 track various artists compilation and contributions by R. D’Atri from Realmz, Rich Jones as Operator, Joton and others more. This versatile package defines the labelsound as an own but open techno-space, oscillating between the mind and the floor. Concrete goes deep, monochromatic sounds explore and experience the darker shades. The second chapter of the first release-decade starts numerous and mighty, offering a view into the future.

Rotation And Revolution (Out Now)

Being released as a special marbled vinyl that comprises of two tracks, Alan’s original uses a large heavy kick with intricate high hat patterns that please the ear and add some funk to a heavy straight kick drum. The stabs are the main feature of the track and add a palpitating rhythm throughout before the main pad enters and packs it out. Benjamin Damage steps up to deliver an outstanding remix of Alan’s original and creates a more chuggy, brutal bludgeon. He uses Alan’s original stabs in a more aggressive manner that see’s Benjamin’s remix soar!

Manuel Años, AKA Psyk, has much to lay claim to within his relatively short career, having already played at Berghain, Tresor and Stockholm's Fabriken, as well as having himself as a focal point of Madrid's techno scene. His approach seeks to continually purify and refine his sound, and with 'Distance' - his debut release on Mote-Evolver - he melds together new forms of rhythm and expression with the kind of maximal composition and hard energy that the label has honed. The four tracks of 'Distance' pulse, pound and thump their way forward while also showcasing a distinct metabolism that develops throughout this varied release.

The A-side, beginning with 'Distance', establishes a direct, compelling energy that's carried forward by echoing synths that become underlaid with an ever-growing bass. Envelopment is the true characteristic of 'Distance' as it compresses its energy, channels it forward and establishes a strong sense of momentum perfect for any number of following tracks. 'Isolate', the A2 track, properly expresses its title with isolated, intense pulses of warped bass that eventually blend into one another to deliver a highly hypnotic, immersive feel. This sense of repetition creates a spiraling sense of progression that hooks onto the listener and draws them in.

'Rdmn”, the first track on the B-side, brings in a sense of experimentation as it uses different percussive patterns while it searches for its moment to strike. The dented funk of the main bass line ebbs and flows until it finds its groove and immerses itself in it. On the heels of this comes 'Main', the final track that is no less saturated with energy than all the rest. It's pure switched-on dance floor thunder, and surges forward with a straight-forward simplicity. As Psyk's first release on Mote-Evolver, 'Distance' establishes the momentum both for the budding Spanish producer as well as for his supercharged productions to come.

DC109 - Roberto Capuano - Earth [Drumcode]
Drumcode storms into 2013 after releasing some superb tracks in 2012 which included celebrating their 100th release with an outstanding EP from Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg. Also releasing some exceptional tracks from artists such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Jay Lumen and Gary Beck, Joseph Capriati, Gregor Tresher, Sam Paganini, Nicole Moudaber and Ben Sims. Heading into 2013 Drumcode are keeping up the refined techno that they have displayed and are making sure that they continue to keep up this form throughout the coming year.
Roberto Capuano is a name heard before at Drumcode, releasing his debut release on the 15 year anniversary compilation with his track ‘Oblique’. Gaining support as a producer, Roberto has released on record labels such as Analytic Trail, Phobique, MKT, Monique Musique and Suara. He has gained a lot of support from Adam Beyer, Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, Umek, Carl Cox and Alex Under amongst others. Roberto has also been Djing around the world at venues in Europe including the famous, “Old River Park” amongst others.
‘Vertigo’ is the A side on this four track EP by Roberto Capuano that uses reverberated kick drum’s and piano chords to create a groove that was designed for peak-time play. The second track, ‘Inversion’ uses rising and filtering synths with the use of space and influxes of pitched hi hats and percussion loops to create a 5am track that will keep people rooted to their spot. ‘New Chapter’ uses a repetitive percussion-like stab to keep the deep atmospheric sounds together over the industrial techno drums.The final track ‘Earth’ uses phased sporadic stabs to create an interesting groove that compliments the driving drums that are ever present.

Makam - Lion King

Mote-Evolver welcomes back Psyk (aka Manuel Anós) after his strong label debut release, Distane. For his second Mote-Evolver release, Psyk delivers yet another standout effort with four tool-oriented tracks of clean, tight, yet powerful minimalistic approach.

The title track “Arcade” that opens the EP contrasts high-energy thumping drumbeat with a hypnotic layer of syncopated rhythm. Its movement and development is subtle and organic, yet at the same time skillfully elevating the energy with joining clapping beat and hi-hats.  Following “Surface” will stay in your mind with its obsessive singularity of monotone balanced with the groove of muted heavy beat.  It’s a moody number that grabs the listeners‘ attention with certain tenacity that stays throughout the track.   

One might find B-side of Arcade EP slightly funkier; “Intern” is meshed with lighter elements like beeping sounds and clapping, providing the refreshing vibe to the EP.  However the carefully crafted dynamic and the simple, pure, and fun personality of “Intern” assures that it’s no less powerful tool for the dancefloor.  The last track “Somewhere” is perhaps the grooviest track of Arcade EP, thanks to the deep dark dubby bass that’s setting the tone properly from the very beginning.  Psyk combines and tames energy into a relaxed atmosphere for “Somewhere”, giving a breathing room for emotion that draws you deeply into the euphoric moment.  

With Arcade EP, Psyk is clearly not shying away from showcasing his skills of honing the diverse mood and texture of techno that are highly functional.

Motor - Sweatbox (Chris Liebing Remix)

Mote-Evolver’s ever successful Parallel Series is now on to its fourth installment, this time with two West Coast producers - Developer and Truncate - going head to head. Pairing of the two is uncanny in many ways given their close friendship and the geographical base they share, and appears to be the perfect choice to highlight the difference between their sound and style to realize the concept of Parallel Series: contrast & compliment.   

The EP opens with “Drive Themes” by Developer, a producer who’s known for the deeply dramatic groove charged with masculine energy.  With its focused and streamlined forward-moving force, “Drive Themes” is a track of relentless agility.  “Random Attraction” maintains the same tempo but adds enticing elements of distorted shouts of melody on top of the ruthless yet smooth layers of chords and hats, all beautifully harmonized to perfection.  Developer’s contribution makes the darker and moodier side of EP and its stirring emotion serves as a nice counterpart to its slightly more lighthearted flip side.  

Fellow LA-based producer Truncate steps out of his usual sound of rock-solid and thumping techno with “Is It Skinny”, a spaced-out hypnotic track that contains a vocal sample that’s so demure and unexpected that it melts into the swirling bleeps of melodies, and you wouldn’t even notice if it wasn’t the title that gives out.  “Forty Four” is yet another track that’s born for the floor, inducing aural pleasure with its funky rolling bass dancing with congo-like drums and claps.

Marcel Dettmann- Corebox  (James Ruskin remix)

"One of the best techno full-lengths of the year"
- Resident Advisor
"9/10 Album of the month"
- Mixmag

Just a few years into their career, CLOUDS have already been playlisted and supported by some of the most respected heavyweights in electronic music. At 21 and 22, these Scottish prodigies have already developed a sound that has made fans out of Richie Hawtin, The Chemical Brothers, Marcel Dettmann, Michael Mayer, Sven Vath, Chris Liebing, Boys Noize and Martin Gore - a cross-section that reflects the range, quality and inventiveness of their music. All this attention through a rapid-fire succession of four singles on Tiga's Turbo Recordings. But these were mere club bombs: now the kids have grown up.
TURBO presents their debut album – GHOST SYSTEMS RAVE – an immersive 14-track journey into the heart of Techno's Future. This record should put CLOUDS in the ranks of the elite UK techno vanguard. Comparisons to the work of Blawan, Zomby, Actress are justifiable and inevitable. What is critical - and hopefully obvious to the careful listener - is that none of this is derivative. That these connections will be made simply speaks to the level of artistry on display, as opposed to any specific tricks, sounds or motifs. Wherever they try their hand, they find an original way forward. For instance, when they take on HARDCORE on the awesome FUTURE 1 and FUTURE 2, it is their own private resurrection of the spirit nexus heyday of early 90s UK jungle and techno, a historic time that also literally birthed both Liam and Calum. This is the sound of rave's undertow, dredging up toxic grit and grime, as well as beautiful shards and glimmers.
Almost nothing on this record is obvious. The melodies never resolve. The vocals are consistently unintelligible. The drums are at once dirty, punchy, and repetitive, but never too abrasive to put you off. The bass growls. Textures breathe, brush, grate and glisten. Everything sounds as though it exists in an alien world of impossible dimensions, complete with its own physics, logic and secrets. 
This record is more than fully formed. It's perfect. Made in a few weeks of total isolation in a barn in Scotland by two kids with a laptop and total conviction. Welcome to the FUTURE. It's theirs.
