Utopia (XHEI Remix)

Safe Places is the deeper slice in this EP, providing profound sub bass elements and sibilant high frequency details for starters until additional percussive elements are added to the equation wisely. A pure construction tool for the proper dj’s out there.

BRÄLLE - The Dead Space Between The Stars (Oiginal Mix)

Our new digital album comes from the hands and mind of a very young and talented creator from the Basque Country, Asier Morillas, also known as A4. In his relatively short career he has managed to release in some of the key labels in the sci fi techno realm such as Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, Faut Section, Illegal Alien or SUB_tl to name but a few.

He is one example of passion about music production, developing his skills studying with the best teachers, putting his money and time into perfecting anything audio or gear related, taking his time slowly to create a quality musical output.

We noticed him early on his path, and followed his progress until luckily he sent us a formidable demo comprising no less than 20 tracks. This album is the result of a careful selection after playing his demo all over the planet in the best clubs and festivals.

Music wise, Asier dives deep into the alien and outer space sounds of the future, with a minimalistic approach on the sonic components using only what is needed with efficiency as leitmotiv.

During this eleven track journey, he starts completely beatless and bleepy on the intro tune No Gravity, going subtly into the groove with Axis of Rotation, dynamically using the 909 sounds as a virtual jazz drummer combined with asymmetrical sequences and textures. Between the Stars continues the journey, again with extremely complex drum programming, bleeps, drones and old scifi movie vocal samples. Floating Free brings exactly what the title suggests and Polaris goes shuffled and deconstructed until Kynosoura and Eternally return to the alien dancehall.

The North Star, Spectral and Vega bring back the flotation and non gravity feel also focusing on the groove and the dance while Year 2100 finishes the space journey in a solid manner, showcasing his personal mixture of complex rhythms, skillful arrangement and sonic mastery.

An absolute delight to have such a talented person onboard and we are sure this is just the beginning of a solid career in this sometimes overloaded business.

1 - Protae
2 - Fagus
3 - Ekaterin
4 - Molniya
5 - Emision
 
It is always our pleasure to have new talents in the house, and we’ve been following Notzing’s development since long ago. His approach to techno is absolutely personal and complex, hard and intrincated, mental and physical.
 
Protae is the first missile in this box full of weapons, a super busy techno exercise with compacted drums, drilling synth lines and random metallic hits breaking the monotony. The effect on the floor is devastating and has been tested extensively in dancefloors worldwide by label owner Oscar Mulero in the past months.  7 minutes of pure dancefloor mayhem.
 
Fagus continues with the sickness, with hysterical synth washe repeating an hypnotic chant, adding layers of sound as the groove goes by. Repetition is here the key to proper trance, not exactly with pleasant tones but by aggression.
 
Ekaterin is gummy and elastic with formant synth sounds chewing frequencies and changing constantly in shape. Another mental mantra with a physical drive.
 
Molniya slows down the pace and dives into profound sound scapes full of unnatural underwater sounds and washes providing a feeling of scuba diving.
 
To end this sonic odyssey, Emision goes completely beatless, growing from the profound sub bass frequencies to crispy and crunchy surface noises, creating the soundtrack of floating in outer space with no gravity. Please beware of the super intense bass tones when playing on a big sound system.
The perfect combination of experimentation and punchiness, keep an eye on this guy, is gonna make some proper noise in the coming years.

3 - Coma
4 - A Fix
5 - Extremely Friendly
6 - Pentastar
7 - Persist
8 - Self-Medicating

Mastered by Mario Castillo 
Mixed with Manuel Cano at Lizzards Studios 

Time for a new talent in our roster, the Madrid based spaniard Irazu is on command providing us with eight pieces of dark, gray, risky dance electronica with special emphasis on distortion and sonic aggression.
 
There’s no mercy in this sonic menu, no traces of harmonies or melodies, no predictable breaks or hands on the air moments. This is the soundtrack of a dystopian urban reality, the orchestra of distortion, and ode to strobe lights and fog in a blacked out warehouse.
 
Think about the best industrial tradition of names like Throbbing Gristle or Esplendor Geométrico combined with the rhythmic pulsation of the early Birmingham techno and you can approximately get the picture.
 
On Genesis you get your mind and body prepared for the experience you are about to have, starting beatless and going progressively busy into the hard groove.
 
Sad Hills is a mechanical follow up to the first cut, industrial and linear, mental but with a leather covering.
 
Coma is the third step, again direct to action rhythm wise but intricated on the sequenced components, leading to A Fix, an ode to asymmetry, made of distorted chaotic drops falling over a martial groove. 
 
Extremely Friendly is exactly the opposite as the title suggests, slow paced, broken and mentally ill, the best way to change perspectives before going stressed again with Pentastar, directly influenced by what you heard on A Fix . 
 
Persist brings us near to the end of this journey into the darkness via a stomping kick and merciless distorted sequences with no sign of remorse at all.
 
To say goodbye, Self Medicating provides the necessary ambient slice to return to normality.

Mysterious argentinian techno veteran Kølpos provides us with eleven exercises of music from the future in many different shapes. Starting with the compulsory beatless intro named Epiciclo, setting the pace for what comes next. 

Gravitatoria brings the beat in a profound style with a solid reverberated groove made of assorted drum elements and occasional drones flying over the evolving arrangement. 

In Metano things go asymmetrical and shuffled rhythmic wise, synthetic noises bring the heat as the track goes by, changing shape and motif, creating a proper hypnotic tool.

Núcleo increases the BPM rate while preserving the overall spacious feel of the previous numbers. Here the obsessive sequences are more prominent, drilling minds and bodies properly.

Morgoth is a slowed down interlude, with slow pitched broken beats and complex atmospheres on top, resetting the vibe to incorporate danceable action again with Gravedad en Superficie where the sound machine is at its full development with ever changing abstract sequences and a mental approach.

El Cementerio de los Elefantes keeps things busy, a no remorse relentless techno tool aimed for peak time action, as well as Tierra Firme that goes in the same vein.

Approaching the end of this soundtrack, things slowly go down to mental places with the deep and profound Terraformación and the abstract slice named Orografía.

Lo Impenetrable brings the spaceship to the homebase in the same style as started, an ambient epilogue with outerworld bleeps and textures.

When the PWCCA acronym shows up we immediately think about one of the most prolific producers in nowadays techno scene, but this phenomenon does not come for granted, he has been involved in electronic music since an early age, and he is not a newcomer whatsoever. 

His first contact with vinyl decks was deep into last century's nineties and soon after he discovered electronic computer rhythms with a primitive Roland Tr 606 Drum Machine.

Soon he fell in love with the raw British sounds of  Blueprint and Surface Records, Richard Polson, Oliver Ho, James Ruskin, the Birmingham gang … and that appeal to the groove has never left him since.

After a long musical trip as Dr. Cyanide decides to embrace this current PWCCA project we are now talking about, and this very long player means his definitive reaffirmation as one of the pillars of our label and as an extension to techno sound in general.

In this extended sonic excursion, PWCCA puts his sonic weapons at work with precise and pristine results:

Crispy textures, concrete bass drums, funky rhythm elements, rugged sequences, profound bass frequencies, all that always combined in super intelligent arrangements that seem cycled but embed a lot of soul inside.

Every single piece in this sonic puzzle has a reason to be there, nothing is superficial and every little detail has a meaning and a reason. 

It can be anabolic and gymnastic, it can be mental or asymmetrical, it can be from outer space or it can be from below the earth’s surface.

One thing is clear, his approach to sound is unique and this collection is a superb sample of his gifted capabilities with the machines.

Probably one of the most accurate collections of techno tools out there.

Our number 103 release comes by no other than Metro Skim, an analog technology specialist and true underground hero. He has worked for legendary labels such as Fat Cat or Steve Bicknell’s 6 dimension.

His personal vision on techno has attracted Jeff Mills or Dimi Angelis to name but a few, usually playing his works and now it’s time for us to have him in the house with a whole album.

Inside this collection you won’t find any intro or interlude, just raw and crude dancefloor exercises, provided at high tempos, rugged and merciless but mental and abstract at the same time.

You can smell the crudeness of hardware in every second of this workout from beginning to end. Tools that drill your mind and add organic spice to your mixes, carefully arranged and sound designed for optimal performance in the club.

Hypnotic and martian but also punchy and dynamic all this tunes definitely standout from the invasion of clones out there. This is timeless underground dance music at its best.

From the genesis of the project Metro Skim keeps things personal and unique, putting computers aside, maintaining the human versus machine interaction pure and direct.

For sure one of our most promising artists so far. We hope you feel the same. Welcome to another sound universe.

Franco Biglieri returns to Warm Up after his Black Tourmaline EP from 2022. This time he serves us eleven cuts digging deep into profound techno realms. The sonic voyage starts with Reflexión, a slow paced, heavy reverberated exercise ideal for setting the atmosphere in a proper club environment.

Voces means a transition to sci fi territories, more alien, a little bit faster than the previous cut and surrounded by shuffled rhythm elements and textures.Things get busier on Falla Gravitacional, again exploring into outer space, pushing the intensity further, adding distortion to the groove and deepness to the atmospheres, blending the physical and the mental into one entity.

El Títere is a radical twist in style, the main sequence goes crazy from the first bar, reverberation is boosted and the beat is submerged into the abyss. Paralizado explores gummy and elastic textures, increasing the hypnosis and releasing the pressure from the previous cut. Profound and diffused but still aimed at the peak time hours in the dancefloor.

Encarnación Interna follows, keeping the reverb wash as an integral element, adding obsessive sequences and precise percussive work to create a feeling of travelling through a black hole somewhere in space. Espíritu Danzante preserves the same approach, as a logical sequel of its predecessor giving way to an alternative version of El Títere.

El Ojo de la Tormenta keeps the pressure alive, with a relentless asymmetrical sequence as the main motif, twisted and mangled wisely over a complex rhythm programming.

El Presagio is probably the most aggressive slice of the sonic voyage, fast tempo, drilling synth riffs and again lots of reverberations and texture all mashed into a well done arrangement,

Finally, Surface Culture slows down the machinery, providing the perfect construction tool using well crafted dub chords and liquid atmospheres. 

Tracklist:

01. Reflexión
02. Voces
03. Falla gravitacional
04. El títere
05. Paralizado
06. Encarnación interna
07. Espiritu danzante

It’s always our pleasure to welcome a new artist onboard, this time the chosen one is VSK a skillful producer from Rome with a plethora of releases on the best labels out there, causing a solid impact on the scene since the early 2000’s.

As is our tradition lately on Warm Up the album format is how we can showcase the artist’s whole sound palette and this Polarization LP truly does.

Like a game is the beatless opening track, the sound of an imaginary spaceship aligning its machinery. Once all is set up Ethical design starts the movement, combining a broken groove with assorted bleeps and hi pitched frequencies, setting the pace for The evil speech a track stepping directly into the dancefloor with a solid groove and white noise washes swinging along.

Tension division penetrates mind and body with piercing continuous sequences and a relentless rhythm while Limitless increases the pace and goes one step further in hypnosis with a more intricate arrangement.

Polarization introduces gummy and elastic sounds on the equation, maintaining the anabolic groove, now almost industrial, providing all the necessary elements to create a peak time monster.

It could be the end keeps the energy untouched, at a higher BPM rate becomes an orgy of white noise and sub frequencies, again created to demolish any proper sound system out there as well as Extreme close up, bringing nothing but heat to the collection.

The urge for dance stops suddenly with Don’t think and don't speak, acting as an interlude to the last cut, Veloce come il vento, a sibilant and roaming spiritual drone to close this sound voyage.

Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.

He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV.

In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests.
