Animal Farm Records returns to its roots , welcoming back one of the label’s most consistent artists over the years as Michel Lauriola triumphantly returns with the Nullah EP.

Marking his 6th release with the label, Michel’s sound has progressed leaps and bounds but retained all the qualities that initially drew him to the AFR camp. This brand new 4 track EP demonstrates the Argentinian’s production prowess with 3 tough and hard hitting originals . Debuting with the Glasgow based outlet on remix duties is Swedish producer Lakej, whose twisted and atmospheric interpretation of title track ‘Nullah’ further exemplifies his unique take on techno.

Joachim Spieth teases his forthcoming album "Retrace" with the release of the album opener, "Recall," accompanied by a wonderfully dubby, dance-floor-friendly remix from the producer well-known within our community, Luigi Tozzi. 
While Spieth keeps things in a laid-back "sofa surfer" mode with deep, ambient, and dub-tinged atmospheres, Luigi Tozzi's remix expands the dub side of "Recall" into a proper dancefloor groover whose stabs simply envelope a listener like a spider web. 
Spieth and Tozzi, two of techno's distinguished artists, join forces and deliver a creme de la creme dub techno release. This is a great introduction to Joachim Spieth's forthcoming album, "Retrace," due in October. 
The single "Recall" with Luigi Tozzi's remix is coming out on September 6.

For Dutch artist Stefan Vincent, the feeling of melancholy also offers the opportunity for beauty to be found. “Decay and loneliness can serve a purpose. Depression can teach you things. To feel deep sadness also means the ability to feel profound emotions.” he says. With this in mind, his debut album on MUSAR Recordings, “Post-Melancholy”, unpacks the twists and turns of grappling with this emotion, drawing from breaks, electro and IDM to make his most intricate work to date, after previous releases on Token, Dynamic Reflection, Symbolism, and Non-Series.

Throughout “Post-Melancholy” Vincent traces the wave of melancholy and how it moves through the body, which allows for lighter moments alongside darker moods. Perhaps the lightest track on the album is its acidic-breaks opener, “Eyes Unclouded”, with its soaring acid lines and dazzling synths, which acts as a false pretense for the rest of the album. Tracks like “Poise”, “Arpeggino” and the meditative “Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F” also break up the intensity. However, nestled between the more pacey, bass-weighted tracks on the album, these lighter openings still feel like tear-jerkers.

The more common associations of melancholy show up on tracks like “Another Skin To Wear” and “You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well”, which all create a more ominous feel via IDM and the polyrhythmic structures of drum’n’bass. Particularly on “Another Skin To Wear”, which borrows its name from a Radiohead lyric, the track's swooping motion feels realistic to melancholy’s chaotic and often unpredictable path. But, like all great storytellers, Vincent leaves the most poignant moment of the album for last with the rolling “8AM on the Train… (For Maarten)” devoted to his dear friend, Maarten, who sadly passed away at the young age of 36.

This LP is dedicated to Maarten de Vries (1986-2022)

PREMIERE: Stefan Vincent - Arpeggino [MUSAR Recordings]

Dutch artist Stefan Vincent returns to Amsterdam-based imprint MUSAR Recordings to conclude the melancholic journey he began with the 'Pre' edition last June. This release tells an honest, raw story of embracing solemn moods and the positive, transformative impact they can have on life.

The track ‘You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well’ begins with a sense of curiosity, drawing us into its intriguing atmosphere. Melancholy underpins the whole release, and that’s the same for this track, imparting an ominous tone, yet tempered by a subtle, whimsical touch in the melody. This melody is juxtaposed against the dynamic contrast of drum and bass patterns and IDM foundations, creating this captivating interplay, full of class.

As the track progresses, it becomes increasingly hypnotic, with a steady rhythm that drives forward with subtle persistence. Like travelling down an endless street, the destination seems unclear—until suddenly, everything falls into place. One thing is certain: this journey ends well.

You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well the rest of the ‘Post Melancholy’ release will be available to buy on vinyl and digital on September 20th.
