To launch Character, Deetron and fellow Swiss dynamo Ripperton have teamed up under their rarely seen Roots Panorama alias to carve out two dancefloor focused cuts with very different attitudes. 

The 'Mars' EP is the product of what can only be described as an epic jamming session and both producers have created contrasting remixes that are sure to set nightclubs and warehouses alight.

Deetron's 'Panorama Version' is the sun-drenched and synth-laden opener, one that's perfect for setting the tone of an evening or bringing it to a close whereas Ripperton's 'Roots Version' is a far darker and more steely cut which incorporates a jagged arpeggio that's set to stun.

Alex Jones & Chris Spero, known to Hotflush followers as Dense & Pika, are entering the stage of another quality label – Hypercolour – with a 4-track Lynn EP, released at the end of this month.

UK’s techno duo delivers the familiar all-consuming monster vibe on the EP, which is the only way they seem to operate together. The track we’re proudly premiering today has the notes of 80′s mechanical sound, gently nods to Moderat’s “Bad Kingdom” and takes it further into the land of vintage synths, fog machine reverbs, and melodic industrial sounds.



Exclusive Premiere: Dense & Pika - Tantrum

Right, let's play a game. We're going to say a few words and we want you to respond with the first thing that comes to you head: Mob Action. Goodfellas right? Well, we also had a few people blurt out "The Godfather!" and one smart-ass say 'democracy' but the vast majority of people we've asked thought of Henry Hill and co. in Martin Scorsese's 1990 classic.

Well, after hearing today's Debut Transmission, you may well say techno if asked that question again as rising stars and all round 'good fellas' Onno and Per Hammar join forces for a new EP titled 'Mob Action' for Sante's much esteemed Avotre imprint.

Serving up two fresh, contrasting slices of tech house sure to pick up plenty of play this winter, it's revered Italian producer Luca Agnelli's remix of the EP's title track that has set pulses racing here at DT, transforming the original into a peak time roller sure to get even the lethargic of of dance floors moving.

Set to arrive November 13th, get yourself acquainted with Luca's all action rework now.

Shift Work (@shiftworking) are an electronic duo who have previously released on JD Twitch’s Glasgow label Optimo Music. They debut on Houndstooth with ‘Document II’, an EP developed from live jams on outboard analogue gear. ‘Abandoned Hands’ is lean and raw, an angular bassline and indecipherable vox punctuating the relentless 4/4 kick drum and pattering percussion. ‘SBFM’ is fuller-bodied, with the modulating bassline taking centre stage, draped in loose synths and topped with a deadpan vocal refrain.

Shift Work invited remixes from their associates, and the results are impressive, with DVA Damas (@dvadamasdvadamas) dialling down the tempo and stripping back ‘Abandoned Hands’ further still, whilst Factory Floor (@factory-floor) return to remix duty on Houndstooth with a typically subtle yet infectious building take on 'SBFM'.

Menacing kicks and robotic slurs start the track, leading you to believe it's going to be another super-dark addition to the Omnidisc ranks but then that bassline kicks in. That bouncing, flirtatious riff that takes the cut in another direction. 

Add to that some killer vocals, perfectly-placed clicks and drops that pummel and seduce at the same time and you've got a track fit for a king. 
We really rate this one and we're confident you're going to as well. Check it. 

The 'Miami' EP by Danny Daze will be released via Omnidisc on February 22

Premiere: Danny Daze 'Pop' (Vocal)

Truss' remix of 'Bind' will do one of two things to you. It's going to send shivers down your spine or it's going to cause you to stop what you're doing and headbang with malice.

We ended up doing the latter, as pounding kicks, fierce static and wriggling riffs all combine to create a track that'll destroy any venue it's played in.

Premiere: South London Ordnance 'Bind' (Truss Edit)
