Alignment - Power (Original Mix)

Amelie Lens’ EXHALE Records continues to deliver fiercely dynamic techno from the underground’s most promising, rising and established artists with its second VA compilation.

Following EXHALE’s first VA release in 2020, the party series turned label once again welcomes existing members, flourishing producers and blossoming new artists to the EXHALE family for its second various artists compilation.

Today we premiere a track from the ‘Civil Unrest’ Co-Founder, Kontain, who is one of 12 excellent artists to contribute to the exciting compilation. Hailing from the rural suburbs of Manchester, Elliott Ogden defines his infectious, bone shattering sound through his acclaimed alias 'Kontain'. Depicting rhythmically complex bass lines, underwritten by thunderous drums and injected with infectious vocal loops, his productions are instantly recognisable through their signature components.

For his contribution to the VA, Kontain dishes out ‘Neck Crank’, a hybrid of gritty rumbling bass chords, strident synths and an unwavering kick

01. 999999999 - Alarm 303

On The Move

Dream of You

For our first self release, we wanted to return to our roots, were we used to make hard techno. The EP starts with a distorted violent Broken Mental that represents the burned out vibe that have this story on it's beginning, where things can only get worse.

You can see the influence that left Ghostemane on us in the dry noise that brings the drop of this track, which mixed with the ambient that brings the dark lead and the aggressive drums, it all results on this massive track that we proudly release to warm up this EP.

We're having fun mixing hardstyle kicks on our sets, and our productions are no exception, and you can taste those on our title track Ending Destruction and in the build up of Race Against The Clock, where we loved to experiment with a fast mad build up that brings you to ecstasy with a subtle ravey touch. These two tracks have similar structures, they warm up presenting you the elements, and then destroy you with them in a rush of drops, then letting you breathe for a moment, and then finishing the job.

Having the burned out vibe as a context with Broken Mental, you can see with Race Against The Clock and Ending Destruction the few steps that are needed to lead your life to the most horrible, mad and violent of the scenarios.

A1: Michael Klein - Der Sturm Kommt
B1: Michael Klein - Wasser
B2: Michael Klein - Wenn Du Schreist

“Der Sturm Kommt” is German for the "storm is coming“, and the name of Michael Klein’s new EP could apply as equally to the artist as to his music. In the past two years especially, Klein’s career trajectory has skyrocketed thanks to the ever-increasing quality of his output. His tracks have been hand-picked for compilations by Amelie Lens and Cocoon honcho Sven Väth while his productions are supported by big-hitters including Laurent Garnier, Dubfire and of course Pan-Pot, the owners of his home-label Second State.

On his latest EP, the storm is coming quite literally in form of three high-energy bangers that help establish Klein as one of techno’s most reliable party-starters. The title track recreates the mood of an actual storm, opening with grey squall before the heavens open in a downpour of android-like vocals, high-volume distortions, a relentless kick and a build and drop sure to blow up any club it’s played in. Rather than dial it back on Wasser (meaning water), Klein keeps the heat turned right up, deploying a snarling acidic bassline recalling the best of International Deejay Gigolo Records and adding his own stamp in the form of a characterful dog-like bark. German for “when you scream”, Wenn Du Schreist is, as its name suggests, the most ominous-sounding of the lot. There’s a dark energy to the production, with spooky treated vocals and rubbery synths creating a nefarious atmosphere. Importantly though, like everything on this EP, the track still bangs.

Der Sturm Kommt is another package of high-BPM floor-scorchers from one of the hottest names on the scene today. With every release, Klein just gets harder, better, faster and stronger.
