For the next instalment in our split series, we handed the reins over to two producers whose work has kept us continually inspired over the last few years. At the helm of the A-side, Berlin big-room havoc-wreaker AMOTIK puts on the burners right away with two riotous jams that scream nothing but sonic aggression. On the flip, the mysterious, genre-unbound Janice sweeps us into his psychedelic, non-formulaic techno mindset.  

True to AMOTIK’s minutely balanced, well-integrated blends of punishing kick drums and sunken harmonics, metronomic destroyer “Narangi” swings the pendulum sharp and clean, from deep down a thick sludge of reverb-soaked, FX-topped percussive armada to bleeps n’ bloops barrage fire, whereas quake-inducing tides of 909 thunder hail down upon the dance floor with unrelenting frenzy. The dusty bone-bruiser “Hara” picks up the torch and it’s in no calmer mood. A slowed-down, breaks-loaded churner, this one relies on a fine engineering of lo-freq moves and pure hardware-processed filth to establish a murky motel, cinematic narrative of sorts.  

Up with the fracturing wares, here’s Janice rocking the flip upside down with the aptly-titled “Mass Formation Hypnosis”. Doing what’s written on the tin, the faceless producer rushes us headfirst into the boiler for a thorough, unfaltering brainwash. Smelling of leather, grease and coal, this one’s bristling with a delectably rugged palette of unambiguous electronics: an ultimate shelling of chest-rattling drum work, in-your-face bass uppercuts, trumpeting stabs and menacingly altered vox. The final salvo, “Names and Excuses”, tops it all off on an ominously droney tip, flinging us right away into the frothing mouth of a deadly machine giant, hurtling and tumbling down mazy bowels of washed-out ambient techno via rhyzomatic gutters of brooding abstract motifs and no-frills heavyweight pound. Hectic. 

''XVII'' comes adorned with a duly outstanding frame to shine, and will be pressed on 180g quality vinyl.

We are proud to reintroduce PTTRNRCRRNT to MindTrip.

R3D068 RITZI LEE - LOADBALANCER EP ***Preview***

Ricardo Garduno returns to MindTrip with ‘Automatic Functions’, offering a well-balanced sci-fi adventure loaded with dance floor attitude. Illegal Alien’s boss dedicated years to perfect his sound that blends 4/4 energy, tripped out synths and solid-paced percussions in his own way, and ‘Automatic Functions‘ is enough proof of that.
Across four tracks, join Ricardo through this perfectly crafted sonic trip.

This is MindTrip!

Stigma Tribale is a Spanish imprint that has featured national talent such as Cheff, Mario Tishok, Danza Macabra, JFernandez, and Pablo Suave.

The first two international artists on the label hail from Georgia, and they bring a glimpse of their raw, minimal sound, shaping an EP that is as danceable as it is introspective. The pair list appearances on labels like Diffuse Reality, Solemne, and Rebel Union.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Mystic Soul" with a mechanical and purist groove of raw analogue flutters and thundering percussion. Tense and dance floor orientated, the abstract sound design creates a mesmerising, dystopian, and cinematic vibe.

DT:Premiere | Iakob & Rotasu - Mystic Soul [Stigma Tribale]

just before, and now it is on.

MindTrip music, Founded by Pfirter 2006. 
Reinvented and relaunched in 2012 under the new name MindTrip.

MindTrip Music was the creation of Buenos Aires born Juan Pablo Pfirter in 2006. The digital-only label acted as a springboard for upcoming Argentinian artists and of course, Pfirter himself, introducing those talents to the rest of the world. Over the years, the fledgling label allowed Juan Pablo the ability to experiment and play with music, sounds and textures and develop his own sense of direction and focus. Collaborating and drawing influence and experience from fellow MindTrip Music artists like Jonas Kopp, Flug, Markus Suckut, Psyk and Monoloc, both the label and Pfirter grew in symbiotic proportion. But after 6 years and 48 releases, Pfirter felt the need for change.

Having released on CLR, Stockholm LTD, Stroboscopic Artefacts & Figure, Pfirter’s brand of hypnotic music has touched dancers and listeners the world over. Not only limited to the clubs, Pfirter’s productions have delved deep into the experimental side too. This is the focus and framework of the new label. 
Juan Pablo reinvented and relaunched the MindTrip imprint, showcasing the full degree of his sound. The label changed its name from MindTrip Music to
just MindTrip, releasing vinyl as well as digital utilising a bespoke artwork profile.
This is MindTrip music!
