"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness…" (George Santayana)

For his 5th studio LP, Ø [Phase] explores notions of optimism in this rapidly changing and seemingly chaotic world...


Ø [Phase] has been a driving force in techno for over two decades, impacting the movement with his prototypical, stripped-back sound. Since cutting his teeth at Sony Music London as a mastering engineer in the late ’90s, he has paved his way unapologetically, often challenging audiences in his relentless pursuit of pure artistry.
His stark tracks exude an unbiased confidence that effortlessly commands the dance floor, ripening into quintessential classics. At a deeper glance, his music reveals an unseen complexity that seems to defy time and space—meticulously arranged and fervently produced with technical mastery.

Initially debuting on Steve Bicknell’s Cosmic Records, he became the principal artist of Token Records, eventually launching his own Modwerks label.
Besides a steady stream of critically acclaimed releases under his solo moniker, Ø [Phase]’s expansive projects include ongoing collaborations with Luke Slater as Roog Unit and Phyxix alongside Matrixxman.
He’s co-produced iconic tracks with UK legends Underworld and crafted definitive remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Len Faki, and Rødhåd, but his momentum won’t stop there.
Catch him touring extensively, headlining events at ADE, Berghain, Dekmantel, Fabric, and diverse cities across the globe. Ø [Phase] maintains his position at the forefront of techno innovation, continually redefining the essence of underground music.

A1 - D-Leria - Filterbank
A2 - D-Leria - Let It Be
B1 - Translate - Notation
B2 - Translate - Shifted Communications

The AMTK+ series on Amotik’s self-titled imprint gives room for friends and admired artists to present their futuristic take on techno. For the fifth edition, Italian producer D-Leria joins the team and presents two highly effective, booming techno trips. The first track, ‘Filterbank’ sets the tone with its punching kick-drums mangled in between buzzing bass lines. His second track, ‘Let It Be’ shows a rare side from D-Leria where he uses mesmerising vocal chops to create an immersive, driving techno tool. On the flip side, Argentinian artist Translate comes in with some excellent bleepy hypnotism on ‘Notation’, followed by the darker, pulsating ‘Shifted Communication’.

Duplicity 139 | Symbolism

The Berlin-based DJ and producer Bidoben’s sound merges the spiritual with the physical. Drawing on a lifelong relationship with music, beginning with instruments in his youth and evolving into textured electronic production; his work channels rhythm, emotion, and tension in equal measure.

With releases on Clergy, Truncate, and most recently Sublunar, Bidoben’s output leans into the hypnotic side of techno: deep, percussive and full of layered detail. His brand new EP “Torment” showcases this perfectly, moving from high-impact floor tools to more introspective sonic sketches, all rooted in a desire to evoke something beyond the surface.

Inspired by nature, film and the metaphysical, Bidoben brings a cinematic, almost meditative quality to the booth; crafting sets that are immersive, driving, and emotionally resonant.

For #258, he delivers a journey that blends precision with pulse. Techno designed to move both the body and the mind.

No Time For Questions - Mastered

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.

Illuming - Echoes Of A Distant Dream [Free Download]

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.
