Greet007

Following the release of their acclaimed 2023 ambient masterpiece Overlay, Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth have unveiled Overlay Reworks, an album that breathes new life into their original compositions collecting the limited 10" lathe cuts and digital releases. This collection gathers an exceptional lineup of artists from the ambient and experimental music scenes, each offering a distinctive interpretation of tracks from the original album. Contributors include Hollie Kenniff, known for her ethereal soundscapes; Rafael Anton Irisarri, celebrated for his textured ambient works; and Pole, whose minimal, dub-infused aesthetics bring a unique perspective. Other contributors such as Abul Mogard, GALÁN/VOGT, and Leandro Fresco infuse the music with their own sonic identities, ranging from hauntingly atmospheric to richly melodic.

Guentner and Spieth themselves contribute two alternate variations, seamlessly bridging the original vision of Overlay with the imaginative directions taken by their collaborators. The result is a transformative experience that reinterprets Overlay while expanding its emotional depth and sonic palette, offering listeners a captivating journey through reimagined ambient landscapes.

HbA-12: Hasvat Informant vs Intellagama - Pluripotent XII (Amniote Editions 2025)

Amniote Editions resurfaces with the HbA capsule, a dual release pairing the debut album from @hasvat-informant and his Intellagama moniker with a 21-track digital compilation, that coils through ambient, IDM, experimental, techno, trance and beyond. 

Hasvat Informant’s debut album, Pluripotent XII, is a 12-track journey that reads between the lines of psychedelic electronics and contemporary techno. From driving, precise grooves to slow, textured explorations, the album carries the organic resonance of Australian underground culture while threading sharp influences from Detroit and beyond into a singular, unmistakably distinctive sound. 

On this dual release, Naarm-based artist alternates between his Hasvat and Intellegama personas, moving between them like a figure navigating parallel realities. Each track balances mechanical precision with expansive, trance-infused textures, creating a liminal space where urban and natural influences converge.

More than a display of technical skill, this debut conveys a sense of place, heritage, and lineage. Dwelling in both conflict and harmony, Pluripotent XII invites listeners into an otherworldly, lysergic landscape — complex, evolving, and fully realized.

Amniote Editions acknowledges this EP was produced  on the land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and pay our respects to their elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Jeroen Search delivers Nautilus Lost, a forward-moving techno record built on precise, evolving structures and minimal repetitive rhythms.

Somewhere beneath the surface, where sunlight barely touches and time loses its shape, lies a world once known… now forgotten. Faded memories echo in the currents — glimpses of colors, whispers of movement, shadows of a life beneath the waves.

Dive into the unknown.
Reclaim the forgotten.
And awaken what sleeps beneath.

PREMIERE : Orca Silent - Gateway [OSL039]

The Long Grey documents the extended winter months off Canada’s west coast, where overcast skies settle into the mind and shape life with quiet, bleak resolution. Cold-escapism unfolds through atmospheric passages—raw tones and bristling textures guide generative drones across both physical and geographical terrain, revealed through ambient and hypnotic movement. Trace the fading glory of summer, witness the decomposition of seasons, and ascend through winter’s isolation toward a final emergence in natural serenity.

Produced by Steve Braam aka Orca Silent
Mastered by Motion Symmetry, UK
Artwork by Clément Davout
Released by Oslated from Jeju Island, South Korea

PREMIERE : Orca Silent - Gateway [OSL039]

Terence Fixmer Reissues Two Cult Techno Anthems on Red 10" Vinyl and Digital.

Techno pioneer Terence Fixmer re-releases two of his most iconic tracks — Electrostatic and Electric Vision — now remastered for a more contemporary and powerful sound, and pressed on a limited edition 10” red vinyl. 

Originally released on Gigolo Records in the late '90s and early 2000s, both tracks quickly became underground anthems. Played by legendary DJs such as Dave Clarke, Sven Väth, and many others, they were also named Tracks of the Year by renowned techno publications like Groove magazine. 

With these two groundbreaking cuts, Terence Fixmer helped open a bold new chapter in the history of techno — giving birth to Techno Body Music (TBM), a genre blending the raw, industrial force of EBM with the driving energy of techno. Electrostatic, in particular, is considered a foundational track of this hybrid style. 

Now regarded as true techno classics, Electrostatic and Electric Vision have stood the test of time and are still played regularly by DJs worldwide, continuing to energize dancefloors decades after their release. 

This is the first official repress in over 20 years, and the first time these two cult tracks appear together on one record — sharper, louder, and more essential than ever.

Berlin’s Hyphen collective has wasted no time carving out its place in the techno underground. Less than a year in and already on their fifth release, the label continues to thrive on collaboration and open-ended experimentation rather than fixed formulas. Before the Shift EP brings together Hyphen’s own vauna with two fast-rising Italian artists: TOMO, co-founder of Florence’s DE RIO, and Milan-based Peppe Amore (NR, Planet Rhythm). This is a five-track release that embraces intensity without tipping into excess, channeling a strain of contemporary techno that feels both relentless and precise, designed to hit hard while still leaving room for nuance.

"Return to Form" builds on a foundation of massive kicks and tribal percussion that slowly liquefy into something more fluid, threaded with spiraling synth lines and ghostly vocal fragments. The result feels both primal and precise. It's like a transmission from a futuristic jungle made for sweat-drenched hours in the middle of the night, and another reminder that Hyphen knows how to keep its trajectory sharp. 

Before the Shift is out on September 26th.

PREMIERE: vauna - Return To Form [Hyphen Records]

Barcelona’s Obtuse Swamp has been building a catalog that values depth over immediacy, and its third release, Reef Stage EP, extends that approach. Ilayruni delivers five originals that follow different routes through polyrhythmic terrain and show a fascination with rhythm’s ability to bend perception, supported by remixes from o.utlier, Caldera, and Arsène Martinet. 

There’s a peculiar space on the dancefloor reserved for tracks that are neither peak-time weapons nor background textures, the zone where hypnosis sets in. Telepathy Tapes, our premiere for today, sits right in that territory. Its low-slung tempo carries real weight, yet the percussion feels meticulously carved, with each strike holding space rather than filling it. Vocal fragments drift through like subconscious prompts, keeping the groove alert even as it sinks into hypnosis. It’s music designed to pull dancers inward, less about release, more about the slow, steady locking of body and mind. 

The Reef Stage EP is set for release on September 30th.

For their 6th EP, Art Bei Ton invites the talented French DJ and producer VBK. Her six-track journey explores the borders of hypnotic and trippy techno, pushing toward the uplifting side of the genre.

Dynamic and deep, each piece is crafted to draw the listener into a layered sonic space, balancing intensity with rhythmic textures. The EP features a collaborative track with the Moroccan artist Zaatar and a remix from Tadan.

Opening the EP with some halftime ritualistic drum sounds, "Concern" sets the tone with a hypnotic groove that gradually unfolds into a dense and immersive atmosphere.
The second track dives deeper into hypnotic techno, combining bouncy rhythms and psychedelic elements into a tightly crafted dancefloor tune.

"Voices From Beyond" stands out as a driving and dynamic cut, where uplifting grooves meet trippy textures to create a powerful and forward-moving energy.
The fourth track immediately thrusts the listener into a bouncing rhythm, propelled by a heavy kick and rolling bassline—a solid dancefloor cut!

"IO," made in collaboration with Zaatar, brings an intense shift in energy with its acid-infused textures, darker atmosphere, and a distinctive electro-leaning vibe.
Bringing the EP to a powerful close, the sixth track features a remix by the talented Vilnius-based DJ and producer Tadan, who delivers a hypnotic blend of textured soundscapes and tribal rhythms.

Ecuador’s rising son, Nicola Cruz, returns to Multi Culti with Cantos de Visión

One of the core artists in Multi Culti’s diverse catalog of globally-inspired dance music, Nicola Cruz is deservedly becoming the poster-boy for a new wave of producers that fuse indigenous sounds with internationally professional production, creating something entirely new, sonically. It’s a genre that Multi Culti ambassadors Dreems & Thomas Von Party refer to as ‘Folklorica,’ a psychedelic replanting of folkloric roots, and nowhere is it more skillfully executed than on Nicola’s tracks.

Following up on his debut LP for Latin America’s indie powerhouse, ZZK Records, the return to Multi Culti sees Cruz sharpen his focus toward igniting the downtempo dance-floors that have slowly been gaining ground in clubs and festivals recently. This new club sound is at the fore on lead track Tzantza,  already an integral part of Nicola’s live shows and DJ sets at festivals like Sonar and Mutek. What stands out most, other than the sampled lead Marimba, is the sheer mass of the kick drum, the immense pushing power of this 102 bpm chugger. Bruxo and Danza de Visión follow suit, flexing some seriously first-world mixing mojo, elevating Cruz’s work to heights that the growing legions of flute-bearing imitators will only reach in their stoned dreams.

The vinyl package will also feature Mantis and Invocación, off his debut Multi Culti EP, two incredible tracks that will finally get the 12” real estate they deserve. A remix EP will be following in February, featuring remixes from Jaja, Argentina’s Uji, Multi Culti’s own Thomas Von Party, and more.
