Russia's Optimuss and USA's Teknoize joined forces to create the 5 track masterpiece 'Turbulence LP'!! 5 Brilliant tracks that will certainly do some techno damage!!

Optimuss & Teknoize - Sharp Peak (Original Mix) [Orange Recordings]

M.I.T.A. on fire!
After his releases on Phobiq, Elevate, Analytic Trail, Driving Forces, Kombination Research and so many others, M.I.T.A., debuts on VOLTAGE Records with a two-tracker EP, packed with sizzling hot vibes! Ischia based artist's influences mix perfectly with his distinctive personal sound signature, creating a powerful and crisp techno EP, destined to make some real damage to the floor!

'Synchronize' is fast, powerful, intense! This original mix is based on a crisp and dynamic drumset - typical characteristic of the Italian artist, while the short synth stabs add on to the already blasting tempo of the track speedier and more intense.

Iconic techno producer Tom Hades debuts on VOLTAGE Records by choosing this track to remix and add his own character on the original composition. His version is punchier and darker, reinforced with his killer percussions and merciless tempo! 

Original version of 'Sunset on a cruise' is atmospheric, yet powerful and vibrant, with huge drops and intense drums. Anna V.'s remix on the track takes it to a whole new level, bringing out proggy vibes and an old school scent adding wide melodic arpeggios as well as and her typical huge bass lines and kicks.

Don't miss this amazing EP!

Slam | Sanctuary EP 
[@SOMA 502D] 

1. Conduction
2. Rotation
3. Convection
4. Sanctuary

Slam continue their prolific activity in 2017 with their new 4 tracker, The Sanctuary EP. 

A year of relentless touring hasn’t stopped the Soma label heads from firing on all cylinders with each release, and this latest EP sees the duo turn up the heat once more.

The EP starts off with Conduction, a heady mix of crafted Techno and strong, tripped out melodic rhythms. The rigorous Rotation is up next and goes full tilt, drawing on the main sequenced tones to drive home a powerful and reactionary affair. Slam are always ones for creating great synergy within their releases and do so proficiently as the EP goes deeper with Convection. Subtle, modulating synths lead the charge and perfectly crafted percussive elements remain steadfast throughout. The duo close the EP with the title track Sanctuary. A vibrant, affair packed with pulsating tonality, as classic synthesis methods are used to immense effect.
