After is a small summer hiatus Floorfiller Music is back with its most anticipated release to date. Techno virtue Joyhauser delivers an astonishing new track with two remixes. One by a techno legend and one by a true Drumcode revelation: Marco Bailey & Kevin de Vries.

The original track evokes with a busting kick, blipping 303 stabs and a deep rumbling sub-bass. An emotional synth chord sets sail and not much later leads into the key element of the track: a spooky dark melody line from somewhere out of space. The track falls in utter darkness again. Sharp compressed percussion shatters rhythmically on top of the unrelenting bouncing kick. This is truely a dancefloor killer for every time of the night.

Marco Bailey's rendition is much more straightforward. A bonking kick and acid line take you in right away. Supporting the mesmerizing 303 is the endless synth-chord from the original. This repetitive mayhem is later accompagnied by sharp resounding snare rolls and hard hitting percussion. The acid pattern get's more and more aggressive and everything eventually culminates in a resonance driven climax.

Kevin de Vries signature sound is heard very clearly in his take of Bad Generator. He takes the melodic components of the track and sculpts them into an epic trance lead line. Feelings of devotion emerge when this note-pattern is heard. The drop seems to leave nothing more to be desired but eventually the track leads the listener beautifully into its last final act, only wanting more.

Berlin-based artist Kevin de Vries continues to lock down his reputation as one of Europe's most promising techno talents.

With past releases on Unrilis, Odd Recordings and Adam Beyer’s renowned Drumcode imprint, his new single 'Aurora' on Alan Fitzpatrick's We Are The Brave label is a trance-inspired techno driver with a pragmatic and rousing demeanor.

Kevin De Vries delivers big room drama on his ‘Aratak’ EP for Afterlife Recordings. 

Spirited synth lines, drum rolls, gripping moments of silence and weighty kick drums make the title track of De Vries’ Afterlife debut formidable club gear. ‘Sciamachy’ is more subtle, centred around a euphoric arpeggio which spirals to its apex. Konstantin Sibold contributes a fine remix, toning down certain elements of ‘Sciamachy’ to let others shine. It completes an EP that brims with energy and dancefloor dynamism, a hugely exciting first full record for De Vries on Afterlife.

"I'm happy to present the talented The Reason Y from Berlin. After his EP on Pan-Pot's label Second State The Reason Y showcases his diversity with straight dark techno but also a warm melodic tune 'Almathea'. On top the man of the moment - Kevin de Vries - made a wonderful remix of Almathea. I hope you love this release as much as I do." (Monika Kruse)

Regal strikes back on Involve Records with a brand new collaboration, this time with Acid head Milton Bradley a.k.a. Alien Rain. The record is another piece of the puzzle, where the label boss continues his exploration of the Techno universe with the help of artists that inspire him. The 24th release of Involve Records sees Regal and Bradley go deep delivering hypnotic 303 basslines and hammering percussions that point directly to the dancefloor, with chopped vocals adding tension to each cut. ‘Acid Affair’ combines the best of both producers giving birth to a renewed take on Acid Techno. The two-track EP looks back to the origins of the etiquette, without missing the freshness of both artists’ current sonic approach to club-focused music. One not to miss for quirky sound lovers.

"Kevin de Vries and I have been in touch for years exchanging music and talking about
doing a release from him on my labels.
The time has come with this incredible “Vertigo” release.
Needless to say that I’ve been a fan of Kevin’s sound for years and supporting almost
every single release he’s had.
So I am obviously super happy to finally land his excellent music on NM2.
I feel we’ve put together a release so strong that it sets the bar extremely high for what’s
to come on NM2 in the future.
Kevin’s flair for making amazing melodies and soundscapes mixed with spot on
arrangements and in depth productions is a true pleasure for your ears.
Even when writing these words I slowly drift away and dive into the music with a smile on
my face.
To top it all we also got a superb remix from Marco Faraone who has been among my
favorite techno producers for years as well and one I have been wanting to release music
by for some time. His remix makes “vertigo” a more hard hitting and techno driven
banger.
Cleverly keeping all the melodies intact and wrapped up in heavy beats.
I feel blessed to have both these artists deliver such high quality music for NM2.
This release honestly feels like moving into a new era for the label and excites me so much
for the future releases." NOIR

Through experiences, we tell our stories, shape our personalities, and build our perception of life.

We thus also become subject to sudden and unpredictable changes of moods and to whims and caprice of life. Like the planet Mercury, we split into two. Our one-half freezes in endless darkness, while the other half glitters with a perfect shade of orange under the rays of our one and only sun. We thus become the Mercurials. We live through different tones of life, swinging from ice to fire.

Certain life experiences evoke certain emotions, and these emotions, at once, push thoughts to the surface - thoughts that puncture our life. An experience thus turns into an anchor that we hold fast and remember forever.

Contrary to traditional music labels, Mercurial Tones is about these experiences which are simultaneously fleeting and enduring, dislocating and connecting.  

The Mercurial Tones is about us; it is about the ceaseless battle that we fight with ourselves, creating this Mercurial cacophony. And it is about our story which will resonate throughout the universe, carving out a piece of art from this formless, anarchic background.
