Christian Smith stands out as one of the worlds leading exponents of inventive, diverse techno and Stranger Than Paradise continues his enthralling, ever-evolving musical journey with aplomb. The fact that Tronic is one of the Top 5 selling techno labels in the world is a mark of a man who stands for nothing less than pure quality.

"When DJs are in need of dark and muscular dancefloor movers, they turn to Wehbba. With releases on renowned labels such as Intacto, 100% Pure and Tronic, the Brazilian producer has become the country’s poster-child for techno heat. With his latest release, Wehbba has turned in a very special concept EP on Marc Romboy’s legendary Systematic Recordings imprint, already earning big BBC spins from Pete Tong and other taste-makers.

Entitled Systematic Shades Vol. 1, the EP finds Wehbba painting three vivid soundscapes to evoke distinct shades of color and movement. The opening track “View of Delft” is an epic builder that invites you to close your eyes, take in the cascading atmospheric synths and envision the colors coming through your ears. The following two cuts solidify the release’s concept, offering up their own distinct shades of dance while clocking in with more peak-time energy."

OUT NOW.

B1. Wehbba - Um Den Kern

Eerie murmurs and a punching kick greet you in the first few seconds and that sets the tone for the venomous cut. After a minute the rigorous low-end rumbles and bumps into the frame and before long it's all out warfare.

The whole thing explodes and once all the elements are introduced there's no turning back, you're placed slap bang in the danger zone. It's savage but boy is it brilliant.

Premiere: Pig&Dan 'Funk Of The Moog'

'Galaxy' is a thunderous cut to say the least and has rumbling, tribal percussion at its very core. Add to that thick, brooding drops, emotion-laced vocals and a venomous acidic twang and you've got a track that's equipped to do serious damage. 

The deeper, darker sound the producer has been pushing has once again been applied to this new one and we're confident you're going to love it. 

Premiere: Artifact 'Galaxy'

Terra EP

Martinet - Terra

Excellent opener ‘Infinity’ is a solid piece of uplifting techno that glides on a slick drum pattern. A shiny lead synth line has real depth and incendiary hi hats and tough claps help drive things along into outer space. Riding through various peaks and troughs, it is a truly moving cut.
