RA: Techno

Priori’s hit EP Pareidolia gets a well deserved remix treatment. The relation between Priori and Midgar started early 2023 with the release of his Pareidolia EP, where a remix for Keplrr followed quickly the year after. Now, early 2025, a group of close friends and admired artists were invited to rework the Pareidolia’s originals.

Midgar affiliate Forest Drive West uses the opportunity to present not one but two remixes. Presenting one half-time 85 bpm twist of Hazard and another slow-paced murky techno groover. Originally from Montreal, Maara forms the Canadian connection and she turns Memory Palace into a beautiful bouncy dub-techno floater. Sound experimentalist Notte Infinita takes his turn on Pareidolia’s title track and creates some magnificent eyes-closed drum & bass hypnotism. At last, Amsterdam’s upsammy brings back the light with her iconic playful approach. She flips the steady groove of Glass Shards into a jumpy interplay of rhythms and joy.

Hazard (Forest Drive West 85 Remix)

In Echoes of Fractured Light, Anechoic explores the fluid interplay between light and shadow. Each track becomes an auditory representation of light as it bends, scatters, and reflects through space and time.

Subtle shifts in illumination are mirrored in the evolving sound design, tones morph and shimmer, rhythms fracture and reassemble, and layers of sound drift in and out of focus like fleeting shadows cast by shifting light.

Every piece captures a moment of change, sound refracting into something new, expanding and contracting like breath across vast sonic landscapes. Natural reverberation plays a key role, much like how light lingers, fades, and reflects in its surroundings, shaping the atmosphere in unseen ways.

Sub Accent - High Speed Train in Fog

https://sabla.bandcamp.com/album/morpho

It starts like a seed under skin—bare, pulsing.

Sound gathers like an electron orbiting the nucleus.
Shapes thicken, not to dominate, but to exist.
A spine forms, then limbs, then breath.
Nothing ascends—everything spreads.

In Morpho, form doesn’t arrive all at once; it builds piece by piece, from materials drawn across distances. Each step is neither better nor worse than the last—each is singular, part of the whole. Growth is not guided—it listens, folding itself into space, grain by grain.

EP preview: http://bit.ly/BTAIM006
Releasedate: Monday 27th Feb
presale: http://bit.ly/2lRKrKK

BTAIM resumes its line of raw techno templates with a pair of stripped-back but funked-up floor killers.

Promising Berlin-upstart @Tecturemusic draws inspiration both from his hometown as well as Detroit, delivering two highly effective yet emotive club weapons. Their bold basement vibe may seem grim on the surface, but they glimmer with hope underneath. It is this very interplay between murk and melancholy that embodies the record with dynamic textures and a narrative.

In similar fashion Trevino pairs imposing low end rumble and bright arps, reworking the title track into his own DnB-reminiscent signature style.
With the addition of BTAIM006 to their catalogue, both artist and label have placed themselves on this year‘s watch lists for sure.

Fiedel has been a mainstay of the Berlin techno scene for years, from his time working at the vaunted Hard Wax record store to his collaborative work with Errorsmith under the MMM banner. In recent years he's also been increasingly busy as a solo artist, and now he's landed on Ostgut Ton with the 'Substance B' EP. The hard-charging title track debuted on RBMA Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.
