The Human League - Don't You Want Me ( Harry Kaze Edit )

College, Electric Youth  - A Real Hero ( Harry Kaze Edit )

Welcome to the second edition of Era Specific Noise! This release sees the debut of three talented new artists to the label - there’s nothing better than a good VA. With an audible sonic influence and shared appreciation for the originality and love poured into old-school techno, ESPN002 has something for every drum machine lover out there. 

We kick things off with TOECRUNCHER's track "Turnstyle", the first of two driving pieces of dancefloor-friendly techno that make up the A side. A classic 16th note bassline, strong percussion, and just the right amount of ear candy and ephemeral pads - this work practically mixes itself into your DJ set. The next output by label head Richardson “Situational Awareness” builds off this style and adds a growling, modulated synthline, a uniqueness which ensures its memorability and slot in your bag.  

The clarity in production of B1 “Occhio per occhio” by Alfa Cornae is hard to put into words. There’s a mountain of percussion in this hardgroove-inspired piece and yet, everything seems to have its own place - and those squelchy breakdowns don’t hurt either. Rounding off the release is “Kintsugi” - a slamming, industrial yet ethereal piece by Andrea Crestani. We personally enjoy a release that tells a story, and this track has all the hallmarks and melancholy of an EP closer.      

We hope you enjoy your stay with Era Specific Noise - New school old school.

Jeff Rushin – Analysis EP

Jeff Rushin returns with Analysis — a distilled, cerebral trip through the shadows of techno. Known for his precision and emotional restraint, Rushin strips things down to their core, delivering four meticulously crafted tracks that pulse with tension and raw energy. From hypnotic grooves to brooding atmospheres, this EP isn't just a collection of tracks — it's a study in restraint, texture, and sonic architecture.

Each cut feels like a statement: minimal but never empty, dark yet never cold. Analysis invites listeners to get lost in the details — the hiss of analog warmth, the interplay of rhythm and silence, the space between the kick and the void. It’s techno made for deep listening as much as dancefloor immersion.
