DEFTR, the newly formed alias of Answer Code Request and Jan Wagner, presents their debut album on npm, introducing a captivating fusion of ambient and techno. This collaborative project marks a departure from Answer Code Request's renowned 4/4 techno framework, venturing into expansive auditory realms enriched by Jan Wagner's classical expertise.

Spanning eight meticulously crafted tracks, DEFTR's debut album explores a spectrum of blissful and resonant soundscapes. The compositions unfold with a delicate balance of ambient textures and rhythmic innovation, punctuated by evocative vocal samples that enhance the album's atmospheric depth.

Having previously released three EPs that hinted at this innovative direction, DEFTR solidifies their unique sonic identity with this full-length release. The interplay between Answer Code Request's intricate rhythms and Wagner's ambient sensibilities creates a dynamic tension, resulting in a listening experience that is both immersive and transformative.

DEFTR's vision extends beyond the studio, aiming to bring their sound to life on stage with a focus on live performance elements, including drum machines and synths. While details of the debut album release show are forthcoming, Berlin is anticipated to host this significant event.

With their debut album, DEFTR not only establishes a new creative path for Answer Code Request and Jan Wagner but also sets a high standard for npm's inaugural release, promising an engaging and profound auditory journey.

DEFTR, das neu gegründete Alias von Answer Code Request und Jan Wagner, präsentiert ihr Debütalbum auf npm und führt eine fesselnde Fusion aus Ambient und Techno ein. Dieses kollaborative Projekt markiert eine Abkehr von Answer Code Requests bekanntem 4/4-Techno-Rahmen und wagt sich in weitreichende auditive Bereiche, die durch Jan Wagners klassische Expertise bereichert werden.

Über acht sorgfältig gestaltete Tracks hinweg erkundet das Debütalbum von DEFTR ein Spektrum von glückseligen und resonanten Klanglandschaften. Die Kompositionen entfalten sich mit einem zarten Gleichgewicht aus Ambient-Texturen und rhythmischer Innovation, durchzogen von eindrucksvollen Vocalsamples, die die atmosphärische Tiefe des Albums verstärken.

Nachdem sie zuvor drei EPs veröffentlicht haben, die auf diese innovative Richtung hinwiesen, festigt DEFTR mit diesem Longplayer ihre einzigartige klangliche Identität. Das Zusammenspiel zwischen Answer Code Requests komplexen Rhythmen und Wagners Ambient-Sensibilität erzeugt eine dynamische Spannung, die ein immersives und transformatives Hörerlebnis bietet.

DEFTRs Vision geht über das Studio hinaus und zielt darauf ab, ihren Sound auf der Bühne mit einem Fokus auf Live-Performance-Elemente wie Drum Machines und Synthesizer zum Leben zu erwecken. Während die Details der Debütalbum-Release-Show noch ausstehen, wird erwartet, dass Berlin dieses bedeutende Ereignis ausrichten wird.

Mit ihrem Debütalbum etabliert DEFTR nicht nur einen neuen kreativen Weg für Answer Code Request und Jan Wagner, sondern setzt auch einen hohen Standard für die erste Veröffentlichung von npm und verspricht eine ansprechende und tiefgehende auditive Reise.

A Farway

Pre-order

3. / B1. A Farway

While Scalameriya's first album, Hubris (2016) on Genesa Records, was an exploration of what he considered "uncharted territory" at that time, Aeon Core (2022) on Perc Trax, on the other hand, was a process of cataloguing the various techno influences from his teenage years, seen through the lens of his modern, unmistakable style.
The next chapter of Scalameriya's turbulent saga in electronic music is Kornukopiya (2024), the manifesto of a mad scientist, a depiction Nikola resisted for years that ultimately became an embraced part of his persona as he finally takes on the lab coat of a genre-defying artist he was bound to become.
His documented, unwavering discipline has transformed into nothing less than rituals that are performed daily, securing him the grace of the muse as a result.
With Kornukopiya, Scalameriya ventures beyond the ordinary and dashes to the forefront of avant-garde club music, evading the shackles of conventional techno yet again while he effortlessly showcases his limitless hyperphantasia across 25 tracks, each as relentless and articulate as the other, making this album an auditory opulence for listeners eager to experience more than just a simple interaction between an effective kick and a random blip.
Always remaining conceptual, worshiping the idea and imagination as sacred phenomena, this time he consolidates the ever-recurring motifs of sci-fi, danger, and weight in his music with the mystical, bringing forth coherent displays of sound that, collectively as an album, emit an uncanny fusion of mechanical ferocity and ethereal enchantment.
At the moment, Kornukopiya can be considered Scalameriya's "magnum opus", but with his merciless pursuit of the apex of sound design, this statement will likely be rendered obsolete in the blink of an eye.

'You Are Gods’ is the first single to be unveiled from the lush new debut album from British synth wizard James Holden and Polish clarinet guru Waclaw Zimpel (Saagara, Shackleton).  

Holden & Zimpel continue their fruitful collaboration with the blissful escapism of ‘The Universe Will Take Care Of You’: a deeply emotive warm and fuzzy delight. 
The rich textures and beguiling sound palette of the entrancing 'The Universe...' roams freely between bucolic pastorals, insistent arpeggios and shimmering euphoria. 

Embracing the playful, experimental approach of their Krautrock forefathers to explore their deepest improvisational urges, this is the joyful convergence of two likeminded masters of their craft, weaving in violin, percussion, lap steel guitar and the Indian twin pipe algoza flute amongst the expected modular synth and clarinet. 

For fans of: Harmonia, Cluster, Eno & Fripp.

Phunk Returns – Remastered & Stronger Than Ever!

In 2005, Innersphere aka Shinedoe dropped Phunk on Intacto Records, a track that became a classic anthem, setting dancefloors on fire across festivals, clubs, and radio stations worldwide. With iconic remixes by Steve Angello, Ricardo Villalobos, and Mark Broom, it secured its place as a true techno classic.

Now, 20 years later, Phunk and Astrophunk are making a powerful comeback—remastered,
re-energized, and re-released on MTM (Music That Moves), the label founded by Shinedoe. A deep, electrifying banger in Phunk—a groovy, hard-hitting stabber packed with pulsating energy, hypnotic rhythms and unstoppable momentum that keeps you locked in, rocking and craving for more!

On the flipside, Astrophunk (2004) makes a powerful return, hitting with full force. This relentless, hard-hitting dancefloor weapon is built to ignite the crowd and keep them in a euphoric frenzy with its raw, pounding groove—stronger than ever!

Shinedoe is a driving force in the global techno scene for nearly three decades, known for her hypnotic grooves and uncompromising vision. Through MTM, she continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, releasing tracks that ignite dancefloors and evolve the genre. Phunk and Astrophunk (Remastered 2025) embodies this spirit, delivering a fresh take on a timeless classic. The legend returns—ready to move a new generation!

I Wanna Sleep In Your Arms / What's a Girl To Do

What's a Girl To Do (Remix)

First single from my upcoming album Sirius Syntoms (out May 23).
“Cirkl” is symbolic for me – it marks the return of my label Feedelity, which I started in 2003. After nearly 20 years, I’ve come full circle.
The track blends my love for house, disco, and blissed-out arpeggios.

I'm Coming Back (Known Artist Remix)

Feines Tier veteran Johannes @klingebiel introduces @franz-matthews to the family and together they bring us “Ce Moment” EP, a basket of tunes full of colorful harmonies, bouncy grooves and poetic French lyrics. What more could one wish for?
The two producers and multi-instrumentalists met some years ago in their chosen
hometown Berlin and decided to fuse their producing and multi-instrumentalism game.
The first fruit of this labor was the much-loved and -played “Signs” on Heimlich records, now being followed by this EP here.
The title tune is an amalgamation of groovy electric bass riLs, spicy Prophet synth
sounds, melancholic vocals and certainly has something of that magic ingredient
people call the French Touch. A good tune to pick for House DJs who dig some Disco now and then and for Disco DJs in need of some solid House.
“La Traversée” is a crossing (multi-language pun intended) of bazillions of quirky synth sounds and melodies that somehow form a coherent whole, the sum of its part being a light and friendly but not cheesy house tune, that will make the sun go up on any dancefloor.
The mighty Kompakt overlord @michael-mayer-kompakt takes “Ce Moment” under his spell. The result is a grander and more mysterious aLair, made for bigger and darker dancefloors. The Sound of Cologne™ this is indeed!
Parisian up-and-comer @shimon-earthly adapts „La Traversée” into his sonic world. When Matthews and Shimon discussed the finished remix on the phone in French, all that le dilletant Johannes could understand from it were the words “très cool” and “after-hour vibe” , which… yes, completely tracks!

Robson Ponte isn't just anybody. And certainly not just any former top soccer player from Bayer Leverkusen, but the namesake of Reinhard Voigt's first Kompakt 12", one of the label's first big hits. Timeless, cool and unforgettable, the way this snotty, dry football field beat pushes you forward, over it, this constant, almost stoic, mantra-like rap repetition - Robson Ponte, Robson Ponte,...

That was a good 25 years ago. So it's high time to celebrate a bicycle kick with a fitting run to the goal. None other than FC Kompakt centre-forward Juergen Paape has been hired for the remix return match. In the first few minutes of the match, Paape scores with two straight disco-techno crosses and a Schaffel cross from 25 metres out. Team captain Reinhard Voigt himself seamlessly follows in the footsteps of the original - dressed in a new, stylish black, white and red sound jersey, he keeps the ball in play with aplomb. From the stands, guest of honour Thore Pfeiffer comments on a hymn-like, sacred ambient lament with an appropriate timbre.

Lads @david-hasert and Niconé ( @nicon-dantze ), who already released together on kompakt's label, are teaming up with Diode Eins member @salmjak for an allstar two tracker.
Frohes Noise is a summer driven anthem with a great piano theme and a rolling acid line. It's anything but noise – that's why we've prefixed it with the beautiful German word “Frohes,” which means nothing other than "happy". 
I Want U 6 goes straight into your brain and stays there for a while. A real ear worm! Big beat and cheeky vocals, you better be prepared!

Monnom Black will mark its 17th release with its first various artist compilation presented on triple vinyl. Keeping with the label’s modus operandi, the compilation is packed with iconic, raw and uncompromising techno, featuring 13 artists new and old to the imprint, including a re-release of a classic Drax aka Thomas P. Heckmann track from 1993.

To coincide with the launch of the compilation, Monnom Black will hold its first highly-anticipated label party. Locking arms with the notorious underground Dutch promoters Reaktor, known for their challenging events and pushing the boundaries of what techno has to offer. Together they will celebrate with an electronic onslaught on New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam’s Elementstraat Warehouse. A location cut to the bone that perfectly encapsulates the label and promoters combined vision and ethos.

Dax J curates the night fusing the label together for a special moment in time, with the titan warehouse opening up two of its rooms hosting a monster line up with the likes of CJ Bolland, Regis as CUB, Thomas P. Heckmann, I Hate Models, UVB, Stranger, Zanias, Cressida, Inhalt Der Nacht, Raffaele Attanasio, Tommy Holohan and Remco Beekwilder.

Inhalt Der Nacht - Dosis

Fresh off much essential reissues of his seminal debut album for Peacefrog, 'The Electric Funk Machine', and the initially 2017-released 'The Light Years Reworks', which featured an incredible cast of remixers, UK techno mastermind Luke Slater resurfaces as Planetary Assault Systems with a crisp double-package of his signature deep-rolling, hypnotic big-room churners. As its name suggests, 'Straight Shooting' takes no byway to get its point across.

Lifting off with the bleepy, outerspacey thrust of 'Beam Rider', Slater's new outing stings like a straight-out nasty shot of adrenaline right in the ticker. Going for the jugular with its ever impactful mix of pummeling kicks, bloodthirsty bass combers and frenzied electronics blinking like signals freshly emerged from a long drift across cold, hostile wormholes, PAS further proves he navigates in a parallel dimension of his own. Although familiar in essence, the chassis of the tracks remains distinctively unique with cuts like 'Born Anchors' and 'Engage Now' moving away from the calibrated number category, whilst finely blurring the line between explosiveness and self-discipline, which makes them perfect for near-peaktime moments of transition in a set.

Proper muscular bangers are nevertheless the kernel of it all here, and sure to steer the crowd into ecstasy on automatic pilot. If 'Humans Use Concrete' blazes with the wild stomp of Slater's most incisive classics and 'Bear Bones' guides its listener into a trippy excursion across hyperspace loops and alien inner territories, it's 'Give It Up' that harnesses the storm with its playful mix of sliced-and-diced vox fragments, rabid toms, skittish hats and freq-shifting synth whines sure to cut a path of destruction into the club. If an extra-terrestrial invasion of planet Earth was on the agenda, no doubt Slater would be appointed soundtrack composer in chief. Deadly as it gets, 'Straight Shooting' holes it in one.
