Lars Huismann makes a quick return to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s newly minted Mutual Rytm imprint as he delivers a medley of classic, groove-driven techno productions via his ‘Sounds From The Past I’ EP. 

With recent releases via labels such as Slam’s iconic Soma, Berlin-based DJ and producer Lars Huismann is quickly growing to become a familiar name of note within today’s modern techno landscape. Having featured as one of the artists on the label’s debut V/A release in February, with the German set to feature as a regular across the imprint in coming months, he unveils fresh shades to his sound palette on his return to Mutual Rytm with a combination of six slick techno cuts across his ‘Sounds From The Past I’ EP. 

The powerful, rolling dynamics of ‘Surge’ open proceedings as Huismann quickly sets his stall, while ‘Collison’ veers into slick, looping territories as the energy and tension are kept tight and high. Next, ‘Echo’ ups the pace as tough kicks meet zipping melodies, filtered chords, and looping vocal interjections amongst a medley of flurrying percussion licks, before ‘Funk Shed’ takes cues from its title and showcases a classy blend of classic Detroit-influenced sonics guided by sweeping synths. Title cut ‘Sounds From The Past I’ brings with it flashes of serenity and peace, before erupting and spiraling effortlessly into infectious and captivating drum grooves, before closing the show via the rich yet muscular tones of final offering and digital bonus track ‘Jackin’.

Marcal is back for round two on Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records with “Cyber Dystopia.” Marcal’s trademark grooves and clever vocal processing make this one of his most exciting and hypnotic records yet. It’s pure class…there isn’t much else to say!

BUT we have to try anyway…
“Cyber Dystopia” starts off with Bionic Jungle, a trippy peak time roller sprinkled with uh, lifeforms or something? We haven’t been able to identify them, which is just proof that Marcal is living on another planet we haven’t been to yet. We’re standing by for the invite.

Moravex’s Paradox picks up where Bionic Jungle left off…chugging along in his signature style. It’s loopy. It’s tooly…but still heavy on the grooves, making it a perfect fit in deep and peak time sets alike.

Nothing About the United States hits a little harder and darker. Dissonant drones and catchy sound design take over, flipping the switch from “party” to “punish.” For fans of his recent track on Enemy, “Never Wrote This.”

Don’t Fear the Three is a classic Marcal percussive workout in heads-down mode. It’s as equally powerful as every other track on the record.

“Cyber Dystopia” is all about the world we are living in right now: artificial intelligence, smart houses, smartphones, self-driving cars, deepfakes, fake news, cybernetic warfare, metaverse, social networks, the internet of things, machine learning, virtual reality...
We are definitely entering a new stage of civilization, the post-modern era.
But,
Are we living an 'apocalypse of self-abdication' already? Or we are, as humans, simply evolving as technology evolves? There will ever be a limit to technology? Will it help as much it can also destruct?

We will find out soon.

GLIA presents Sticky Friends, an EP born from a turbulent time of personal tension, existential crisis, and creative intensity. Alongside remixes by Bailey Ibbs and Alberto Tolo, the release is a raw and introspective journey.

"Sticky Friends" captures the energy of a Watergate closing night spent with her closest friends. Driven by distorted synths, high energy, and an uplifting groove, the track builds through hypnotic vocal effects and gritty textures before breaking into a moment of clarity with glowing chords.

"Le Reste" is a stark contrast—a pure expression of pain following the collapse of her closest relationship. A haunting vocal sample of "sorry", a word she never received but always felt was hers, echoes through hypnotic, existential synths and a flowing melodic tempo, questioning reality in its wake.

Bailey Ibbs and Alberto Tolo reshape both tracks with their own intense and unique interpretations.

Tracklist:
1.	Evil	
2.	Lahante	
3.	Dragonfly	
4.	Modulation Detected	
5.	Walking on Mars	
6.	Ohohoi	
7.	Pwiu

In-demand DJ/producer Yanamaste is a resident at Georgia’s renowned Khidi Club and a key part of Amsterdam’s Vault Sessions crew. His unique sound and fresh creative approach result in raw and visceral techno, reflecting his passion for pushing boundaries and showcased perfectly via his ‘Dance’ EP on Vault last year. Now, he returns with an EP born out of the creative process behind his live set with a debut appearance on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm, ‘Evil’ - a collection of heavily-requested tracks that have already made an impact after featuring in his Boiler Room and Stone Techno Festival livestream.

‘Evil’ kicks things off with perfectly rubbery, funky drum patterns and an urgent sense of movement that sweeps you off your feet. ‘Lahante’ is more percussive, with busy snares riding the rolling, forceful drums and stark synths arresting your attention. ‘Dragonfly’ is perfectly reduced via minimal drums intertwined with thunderous effects and ghoulish energy, while ‘Modulation Detected’ has a more cosmic feel as it journeys into the future with whispered spoken words and synths searching across the face of the groove. Last but not least is the irresistible broken beat goodness of ‘Walking On Mars’, with its swinging kicks and vast bassline spraying about the mix beneath hypnotic melodic patterns.

Two superb bonus cuts, ‘Ohohoi’ and ‘Pwiu’, are also provided for digital buyers, bringing further gems loaded with moody depths and compelling rhythms.

Human Safari is a key player in his native scene in Malta. He’s a resident at Glitch Festival, has played cult spots, and has a dynamic sound that brings jazz improvisation to techno, often featuring live instrumental elements. His music has found its place on top labels like R&S Records, and most of this new EP for SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint was produced during his Colombian summer tour last year - written and recorded amongst inspiring and unusual settings with just a laptop and headphones.

“This EP represents embracing new beginnings that, though might bring uncertainty and fear, the light always guides you to where you were always meant to be.” - Human Safari.

Opener ‘Mouse on Keys’ has been a key cut for the label boss across the past year, a unique track that peaks curiosity from dancers to DJs whenever it’s played. Its cantering techno rhythm is overlaid with delicate, heartfelt piano keys straight from a smoky jazz bar, making for a great counter to the physical drums. ‘Fragments’ is a deeply personal track dedicated to the artist’s late grandfather. It's a funky, soulful techno roller with blissed-out and sunny chords full of hope.

Next, ‘Classique’ gets more gritty with loopy drums and bass and glitchy percussion that fizzes with energy, while ‘The Labyrinth’ features piano motifs recorded in just one take. It brings a dark paranoia in the uneasy, off-grid keys which dart about with nervous energy over the booming low ends. There is just as much intensity and edge to the unresolved keys that loop over the raw drums on ‘A Rainy Day in Bogota’, before digital bonus cuts ‘Dorian’ and ‘Phantom’ bring more jazzed out techno madness with warped keys and expressive elements bringing great invention.

Classique

Premiere: Human Safari — Classique [MR036]

Eyes is a deep and hypnotic cut from Danny Wabbit, originally produced years ago and quietly passed around among DJs and close circles. Though never officially released, it found its way into countless sets, earning quiet support from a range of respected artists and leaving its mark on dancefloors without ever needing the spotlight. Driven by a rolling groove and subtle tension, Eyes captures Danny’s stripped-back yet immersive style — music that moves you without shouting. After years of floating in the background, it's finally getting a proper release.
