TAKT crew been talking to a lot of producers and musicians lately. This gave them understanding that in the process of expressing themselves, musicians leave a lot of experiments unused.
So, they were really able to feel a high degree of experience and influence of time on them in these compositions.
In then next rlease, TAKT Records to introduce to you a producer from St. Petersburg - Nightdrive.
"I did a lot of experimental work on this release, focusing on UK/Garage, electronica and acid. It is inspired by changes both in life and music,
searching for ones place in this world." (Nightdrive)
Over the past 7 years, Nightdrive's music has been released on Russian and European labels and, most likely it is presented on all continents of the globe.
Apart from digital releases, you can find his solo cassettes and tracks on vinyl records.
We hope that after having listened to his music you will get the same feelings and emotions as we did and you'd probably like to share your own impressions and experience of self discovery process with TAKT records.

Release Info : 

MSOM - Staying Local

MSOM returns with his second EP ‘Staying Local’, largely inspired by his experience of living in Cliftonville, Margate, which was recently voted the 8th coolest neighbourhood in the world.

Released as a collaboration between Ali Renault’s VIVOD label and DIY label The Fearless Few co-founded by Mikkelsen, the EP features five original tracks and five remixes available on cassette (including download) or as a download only. 

Prompted by the disproportionately high incidence of Tesla owners in one of Britain’s poorest towns, ‘Speed Freak’ - the opening track - references the YouTube phenomenon where EV drivers take unsuspecting passengers for a ride, hoping to capture their visceral reaction to the sudden acceleration of the powerful vehicle. It really is a thing!    

Using a lengthy excerpt from an interview with astronaut Donald Pettit, ‘Frontier Living’ draws parallels between life on the International Space Station and life in Margate (recently dubbed the Death Star of Thanet in an infamous newspaper article). 

Astonished by the often vitriolic debates that raged on social media during Covid, ‘Dr Surf’ highlights the slight absurdity of self taught individuals taking on the scientific community on the basis of information garnered from their own echo chambers. 

‘Hounds of Cliftonville’ poses the question whether Covid brought about another pandemic locally, with the size of the canine population having pretty much exploded since the pandemic. 

‘Escape to the Avenues’, meanwhile, tells the tale of nouveau locals escaping the mean streets of Cliftonville (and its primary schools), exchanging the latter for a more palatable alternative with sea views and palm trees.

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop. 

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for Tresor's latest compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021's landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition. 

Every track hints at and borrows from the familiar yet none follow the expected path: halfway through Deserto, Nandele &amp; A-Tweed dramatically reveal a very different sonic landscape that was initially suggested; DJ Sotofett collaborates with Tamil artist Kavadi with results that are unlike anything in the Norwegian producer’s catalogue as yet.

Further invention can be found as Jean Redondo's Hypersonic moves across spaces inhabited by digital hardcore and hyperpop before swerving off-road and into a futuristic hip-hop section; on No Longer Human, Ireen Amnes takes a different path at the crossroads melding hyperpop, trance, and sci-fi soundtrack atmospherics, Significant Other heads towards UK Bass and Dubstep, and France's Willis Anne skims by the outskirts of footwork with a piece that is almost completely uncategorisable.

Yet more sonic experimentation comes from E-Saggila, Nadia Struiwigh, NVST, Solid Blake, and Viikatory who offer unique takes on the well-established electro blueprint, while Ryan James Ford, and Nit. both find ways to blend elements normally found in ambient pieces with those heard on a dancefloor.

The feel of the compilation is yet again reflected in the enigmatic artwork by Malik Arbab, where shapes and colours suggest animals and plants but in a world that appears to be transient and constantly evolving.

On 26 February, hundreds of Israeli settlers went on a violent late-night rampage in Huwara and other villages in the northern West Bank, leaving one local resident dead and 100 others injured and the town ablaze.

This compilation of music was put together in order to raise funds that can hopefully give some aid to the residents of Huwara, all of the proceeds Confused Machines make from digital sales will go directly to Physicians For Human Rights – Israel (PHRI) www.phr.org.il An NGO that works in the occupied Palestinian territory, promoting Palestinians' right to health and providing direct medical and humanitarian assistance.

The compilation hosts a roster of both local and international artists spanning a wide spectrum of leftfield electronic music. Acid, Drone, Noise, Downtempo, Techno, SoundCollage and more.
All of these tracks are new and have not been heard before, many of them have been created with Huwara and Palestine in mind.

Fractional Difference

TL PREMIERE : Jauzas The Shining - Fractional Difference [Confused Machines]

"I've always loved mistakes; it's the hidden beauty in all art" - Andrew Weatherall

Transparent Sound are the original dons of UK electro, not exactly household names yet an act with so many under-repped classics that once you dive into their catalogue you might end up emptying your bank account on Discogs. 

To save you going down this calamitous path as well as to finally, raise TS to the level of notoriety they deserve, Tresor Records is very proud to announce the release of Accidents 1994-2023.

Formed by Orson Bramley and Martin Brown in Bognor Regis in 1994, Transparent Sound have managed to create 30 years' worth of some of the best electro from the British Isles, despite claiming to not know what they were doing nor how their instruments work. 

It's likely that it's this lack of knowledge that led to the quality and longevity of their output - the pair experiment and tinker with the machines until something pleasing appears then follow that sound down whatever path seems fruitful: "the confidence of ignorance" as a slightly more-famous Orson, Orson Welles, once put it. 

This tactic has paid off well and found them stumbling into many notable adventures, from remixing The Cure to performing during an intermission between two halves of a lecture - none of which they understood as it was in Spanish.

The compilation collects a lucky-for-you 13 of their most glorious electrical accidents on a three-disc set including the dancefloor hits Punk Mother Fucker (a mainstay of Villalobos sets at the time of release), and No Call From New York (as heard on Helena Hauff's perfect 2017 Essential Mix).

The package also comes with 'Windows To Your Sole' from the unreleased white label Transparent Sound 007, other unreleased tracks, and special 2023 edits as well as six digital bonus tracks.

PREMIERE: Transparent Sound - Windows To Your Sole (V.23)

The vocal samples are from the track: "Underground Resistance - Transition".

Make Your Transition [Unreleased]

After the success of Cosmoba’s debut release ‘Lost In The System’, label owner Kalcagni returns with another 4 tracker of vibey electro and breaks.

Kicking off with ‘Mute Mode’, which channels deep house and acid melodics, laced over chunky breaks and a warm analog bass. ‘Up Here (In The Head)’ follows up with another 303 workout, layered with infectious bass hooks and effected synth trills.

On the flip side, ’System Addict’ ups the BPM’s and flexes a more upfront electro groove, with beefy drums, gnarly stabs and a twisted, resonant bassline. Whilst ‘Worn Out Version’ provides a more mellow and alternative vibe to close out the EP, with squelchy modular synth riffs and lush minor chords.

Martin Matiske - Behind The Scenes

She was dancing all alone, the room was crowded but it were as if she was the only ethereal creature of note. For everyone else was not there really, at least not in the same way as she was. She was really there. An eternal body which moved and weaved between the walls long after everyone had left the club. It was as if her very spirit lived within the brickwork which made this house a home. Perhaps that is what it was, her home.

Wendy was her name but it could be anything to anyone given the time of day. For she was all things to all people - a happy smile, a guilty conscience, a careless whisper, a slow dance, a wild romance. She was a moment in time - a vision in the midst of the night only to be forgotten as the sun rose. She was everyone's ghost...

Çâline With C is set to release new music on Electrifying Impact - a raucous EBM infused record destined to bang in the small dark rooms for which it was intended for. Intricate and heavy at the same time, this one will do just fine on the floor.

PREMIERE: Çâline With C - Wendy(Venderstrooik Remix)[Electrifying Impact]

This release by Amsterdam-based artist Déandrah (@deandrahmusic) is a significant hybrid, combining elements of Industrial, Intelligent Dance Music, and a dark yet unexplored hyper-pop vibe. It features a world of mystic sounds, enchanting melodies, and captivating drum patterns. Heavy, distorted drums seamlessly merge with angelic yet uncanny, pulsating strings and pads. Déandrah's soundcraft is grounded in spontaneous jams and intricately honed sound design, effortlessly blending with the ever-evolving essence of a hopeful moment. Spookily elated.
