Pow! Republic Artists Records are back and this time present the emerging label’s fiercest work to date. The release’s original material comes from Greek techno powerhouse Nikola Gala, a man whose production record is tried and true, dating back as it does to 2003. We’ve been a huge fan of Gala’s work for a while now so it was only a matter of time before we would ask him to debut on our label. Because we at RA are a family, the only sensible thing to do was have three of our residents & previous release artists remix this pair of mind-melting techno stompers, each in their own style.

Mind Meld 2 is beyond brutal. The track hurtles forward with unstoppable pace: swung synth-stab rhythms and clattering hi-hats combine to create a class-A banger or a big room, peak time floor killer. Serious weapon alert! Slightly more of a warm-up track, milder & more dubby, Mind Meld 1 is the sparser, subtler of the two. More restraint is exercised with regards this track’s ferocity with tension built & sustained throughout via minor undulations in melodic tone and deft deployment of classic 909 hats. Classy, dub-inflected techno at its best!

Jacob B’s crafty, industrial take on Mind Meld 2 has all the soul proper techno music should have, managing to tow the line between hard and soft in minimalistic fashion throughout. Nick Elia dives down deep with gurgling acid bass that lends the original material a trance-like quality without compromising on fierceness. Republic Artists Records boss Thomas Tesla maintains the energy sets by Gala in his own style. Last but not least, Arthur Keen’s is arguably the calmest of the bunch. Keen reworks the original material into a cooler tempo-ed, stylish chuggy groover of a psychedelic-leaning big room techno track.

Brockout’s first label release spans four tracks straight out of the wilder, weirder ends of the techno continuum, from four heroes of the UK underground who’ve helped shape the sound of our parties and record collections.

Warlock - 'Flash Crash'
The Horn - 'HodgeBodge'

On the a-side Luke's Anger brings raw booty machine funk to the table with 'Planet Twerk', alongside the hypnotic stomp of Jerome Hill’s ‘Red Alert’.

Warlock dials up the intensity with technoid kick drum weapon ‘Flash Crash’ on the flip, followed by ‘HodgeBodge’ - a dramatic electro-digidub workout courtesy of The Horn.

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

Dedicated to techno and its associated sub genres, Intec is also a label that champions artists both new and old, and its latest release is the return of Glasgow based Luca De-Santo.

Luca De-Santo made his Intec debut in January of this year, and following a huge amount of support he is already making his much anticipated follow up.

His first EP picked up support from the likes of Oscar L, Spektre, Karotte, Ramiro Lopez, Sasha Carassi plus many others, and sticking to the same style, this EP also fuses tough percussion with melody rich synths that drive the powerful grooves.

Carl Cox has always championed fresh talent and its clear that Luca De-Santo's place in the Intec family is only going to grow larger as this talented artist progresses his career.

The thundering kick and intense synths of False Dedication are the perfect way to open the EP, as the tracks dramatic tension and building momentum has a captivating aggression perfect for any dancefloor.

Roll With Me takes things deeper and darker with eerie atmosphere pulled into the light by the rising euphoria of the lead synth. Epic in every sense of the word, the track's developing sense of urgency is augmented by the powerful bass notes that groan and growl like a hungry beast.

Back on the label for the second time in the space of only a few months, Luca Marchese has been busy filling the gap with new releases and remixes on Riot Recordings, Prospect and Octopus.

Other labels to have featured music from this rising star include Respekt, Kraftek, Phobiq, Tronic and AnalyticTrail.

Having spent many years DJing locally in his hometown of Caserta in Italy, the success of his productions has led to him starting to get international bookings in places such as Germany and beyond.

Eclipse opens the EP with its pounding kick drum surrounded by dark atmospherics from which the analogue tones of the arpeggiated lead synth slowly emerge. The jovial melody provides stark contrast within this sinister track thats set for dance floor destruction.

Neptune is second on the release and its stripped back style is filled by the fluttering bursts of melody that cut through the shadowy mood of the swelling pads. Grinding bass stabs add to the drama that unfolds with a steady momentum and dark tension.

State Of Being closes proceedings while also ramping up the suspense by blending thrashing percussion, off-beat rhythms, and euphoric acid that underpins the urgency of the stabbing lead. Stylish and primed for peak time club plays, its the perfect way to box off this well rounded package of thumping techno.
