Slam - Wave Tension EP [SOMA691D]

1. Wave Tension
2. Lost Pattern
3. Violence

Devastating dance floor rhythms from Slam on the Wave Tension EP

Slam continue to up their momentum with the first EP since their massive new album Dark Channel. Once again, the sole focus being straight up techno, designed for the dance floor, as they drop the 3 track ‘Wave Tension EP’. Never content to remain stationary, the latest EP has the duo in fine form as they drive to evolve the contemporary techno sound.

Title track 'Wave Tension' is a relentless, driven opener as slightly distorting synths mutate throughout the track pursued by Slam’s ever distinctive rhythms. 'Lost Pattern' continues in hard hitting fashion with alarm-like synths pushing the intensity before 'Violence' closes out the EP with warping and viscous dynamics that create propulsive atmospherics.

SK11.10YLP


SK_eleven celebrates a decade of sonic exploration with a 13-track compilation showcasing its signature tension, technical discipline, and stylistic spectrum. 

Reuniting a tight circle of artists whose contributions have helped shape the label, the release offers an unrelenting sequence of pressure, mental twists, and textural collisions; a multifaceted snapshot of techno’s enduring capacity to evolve, disturb, and seduce.


The compilation resists uniformity. Instead, it thrives on contrast: tension versus release, density against spaciousness, rhythm in all its permutations. From high-energy metallic openers and dub-inflected body rollers, to disorienting, delay-heavy experiments and stripped-back percussive tools, each contribution reveals a unique grip on groove and detail. Some tracks move like engineered machines: sharp, robotic, and syncopated to surgical precision. Others embrace sensuality and unpredictability, exploring spatial motion, layered harmonic friction, and states of controlled chaos.


Each piece acts as a structural component in a larger sonic architecture, where tension is built, collapsed, and rebuilt. Friction becomes a form of choreography. Across the record, a shifting palette of emotional mechanisms takes form; granular and magnetic, haunting and quietly forceful, restrained, then disruptive.


More than a retrospective,  SK_eleven’s first compilation becomes a collective gesture toward techno’s unresolved possibilities:  its ability to hold contradiction, remain in flux, and mutate without conclusion.

SK11.10Y - Various Artists

VARIA is pleased to present the next episode in its podcast series, featuring Vincent Neumann.

Avid music collector, DJ's DJ, Vincent Neumann has gathered a loyal underground following by word of mouth, with consistently brilliant closing sets and long patient vinyl orientated mixing. 

Born, raised and currently residing in Leipzig, Vincent Neumann works as a psychotherapist during the day and as a dj by night. As one of the residents of Leipzig's Distillery since 2012, he happily gets to share his passion for dance music regularly. 

The vibes during his DJ sets are regularly described as energetic, driving, enthusiastic and sometimes even relentless, without ever sacrificing taste, quality and joyfulness. For him, authenticity will always stand above fame, and if you witness one of his marathon sets at Berghain or elsewhere you will understand what the fuss is about. 

In order to further plant his musical footprint into the sticky melange of spilled drinks and cigarettes on the world’s dancefloors, Vincent founded his own label, Unitas Multiplex, in 2020. So far highly acclaimed releases from the likes of Billie Joe, Fundamental Interaction, Inter Gritty and Linn Elisabet have seen the light of the day, with more to be expected in the future. Who knows, maybe he will even release music from his own feather sometime in the distant future. Until then you can definitely keep relying on his contagious energy and taste behind the decks.
This episode continues VARIA’s mission: championing considered electronic expression and lasting artistry.

#200 part 2 V/A

Originating from pulsating rhythms and driven by an unrelenting passion for sound exploration, Ana Rs stands out as both a versatile producer and an eclectic DJ.
 
Ana made a significant mark with her 2023 EP “Take Me There” on Ben Sims’s iconic Symbolism imprint, solidifying her presence on the international stage. Her sound has continued to evolve, diving deeper into the hypnotic and experimental realms of techno marked by tension, weight, and intricate detail. In June 2024, she released “In the Warmth of the Red Lights” on SEMANTICA, Svreca’s influential label – a release that reflects her growing influence within the genre.
 
By June 2025, she debuted on Float Records with Not Yet Born, But Heard, a four-track EP showcasing her distinct approach to techno. Her discography also includes labels such as Illegal Alien Records, Observant, Ac5id and Future Arikive, with more exciting announcements lined up for this year.
 
Beyond the studio, Ana has established herself as a global artist, performing across Europe, Asia, South America at respected venues such as Tresor Berlin, RSO Berlin, Vent Tokyo, Dommune, Garden Club & many more. She is also the creative force behind Interakt events – a platform through which she challenges norms and curates forward-thinking experiences in the electronic music scene.
 
Her path has always been about progression – from her early days of joyful experimentation in DJing and production to her current status as an artist shaping the future of experimental techno through bold collaborations and boundary-pushing sounds.
