Info:
Two years have passed since his last release on Token Records, and now Jeroen Search is back with his unmistakable style for a lesson in techno production called ‘Shadow Dimension’. Stripped down and minimal, we’re reminded that the original character of this music can be found in the hissing of circuits and the impact of analog distortion.

Wasting no time, Search kicks the record off at full pace with a spacey arpeggio and resonating percussion. Hiding ‘Light Spinner’ in initial obscurity, the Dutchman reveals steady intrigue by controlling tension and opening up his elements throughout its duration. The fluttering synthline is quickly exchanged for shuffled hi hats and a brutally monophonic lead. What begins as a rather two-dimensional track is given depth by levitating pads wide in the stereo image and competing 909 rides. Still a rhythm-heavy record, Search gives ‘Six Requests’ thrilling atmospheres to a throbbing core. Moving on to the B-side, the seasoned producer starts fresh with a warbly lead over a layered kick drum in ‘Ten Foot Radius’. Keeping things simple most of the time, Search fiddles lightheartedly with his parameters to turn his synth into almost noise over a steady percussion. The quirkiness of the record has a more aggressive underbelly, luring the listener into a club ready cut. Moving on to the closer ‘Restore Balance’, Search does just that. Finding a groove in a quicker percussion-line, bouncy keys hop about a fun but concentrated record. An ever evolving structure cutting along, he plays with the dry of his percussion and the wet of his synths, mastering the unique production style he’s known for.

Title: AMTK+003 - Kameliia x Decoder
Label: AMTK+
Release: 01 Sep 2023 Vinyl / 29 Sep 2023 Digi
Cat No: AMTKPLUS003

A1 - Kameliia - Beyond
A2 - Kameliia - 8-12
B1 - Decoder - Kalpavriksha
B2 - Decoder - Swayambhu
B3 - Decoder - Velinattu

"Amotik recruits Norway's Kameliia and Dallas-based Decoder for the third split EP on his increasingly essential AMTK+ label.

Kameliia's hypnotic and atmospheric music has appeared on the likes of Overbalance and Unterwegs, where she has previously flexed her sophisticated take on sound design and heady soundscapes with driving and physical grooves. Decoder recently started his new Toca label with Jay York and has previously appeared on labels like Subsist, Float and Jeff Mills' legendary Axis.

Kameliia kicks off with the heavy and thumping 'Beyond', combining forceful drums and a slow, mystical synth lead that encourages you to follow it deep into the night. '8-12' is another perfect fusion of the head and body with supple percussion smeared with balmy and cosmic chords for a classy and immersive cut.

Decoder opens the B-side with 'Kalpavriksha', a twitchy and paranoid cut laced with bleeps and pulses, crafting a futuristic soundscape that grows ever more intense. 'Swayambhu' brings experimental shades with its tightly interlaced drums and synths beneath an unsettling synth line that whistles like a storm. Closing the release is the excellent 'Velinattu,' a buoyant track that’s warm and full of delicate percussive layers."

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Warm Up Recordings is proud to present a new VA that distills the futuristic and hypnotic identity of the label. This release arrives in two formats: a special 12’’ vinyl EP featuring four tracks that were previously available only in digital form, with contributions from A4, David Reina, Mod21 and Vertical Spectrum. Each cut represents a different side of our sonic spectrum, from hi-tech jazz explorations to relentless space-driven tools and distorted grooves filled with sci-fi textures.

Alongside the vinyl, a ten-track digital selection revisits some of the most iconic moments in our catalogue. Temudo’s Spiritual Song sets the floor on fire, while Null Forms and Translate push the boundaries of abstraction and groove. Veterans like Dimi Angelis and Ruman bring hypnotic tension and timeless energy, before Conceptual’s Red Sun delivers a powerful closing statement. Together, these tracks offer a snapshot of the Warm Up sound: mental, futuristic and uncompromising techno crafted for the deepest dancefloors.

We welcome Colombian techno master Adriana Lopez to Warm Up with this brilliant EP, five tracks that expose her own approach to techno sound, apart from temporary tendencies, with a character that is scientific and abstract and therefore timeless by definition.

This EP is a well-crafted combination of roughness and distortion with introspection and calm. It escalates from the glitchy pulses of the title track of the EP to the beatless and self-defining Quietly, with three sound missiles in the middle.

Negative Publicity is the first of those, minimal in the number of components but maximal in the effect provided. She works with the structure through subtle, almost imperceptible changes, enough to make the six minutes feel like a breeze.

No Fear comes next, again using just the necessary pieces to form the ammunition required for the mission: the right dose of distortion, the relentless sequences, the rhythmic tension…

Going Further is the third danceable exercise: metallic and merciless, deeply rooted in the finest UK tradition, pure pressure and machine funk mashed together.

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.
