After a superb live performance at Drumcode's recent warehouse party in London, Frenchman Paul Ritch delivers his follow up EP for the Swedish imprint in January with 'Spoke'. 

'Spoke' takes in three tracks, two of which will grace vinyl and a third which will remain a digital exclusive, which all see the producer roll out the sort of pristine production and subtly off-kilter grooves that has endeared him to many.

MARC HOULE UNVEILS ‘RESTORED’ REMIX ALBUM 	

Marc Houle is set to release a full remix package from his debut LP, Restore, featuring remix contributions from an all-star line-up of techno luminaries including Danny Daze, Harvard Bass, Julian Jeweil, Joris Voorn, M.A.N.D.Y., Popof and Marc Houle himself.

Originally released on Richie Hawtin’s Minus label a decade ago, Restore stands alone as Houle’s very first long-player and helped to establish his penchant for the quirkier side of techno and his superlative production skills. Spread across 11 tracks it encapsulated the dark, minimal, groove-driven sound purveyed by Hawtin and the rest of the Minus crew, while retaining a strong sense of Houle’s unique character and identity. Now it’s the perfect time to breath new life into an album that has stood the test of time, still utterly infectious and absorbing – a collection of music that captures an era of stripped back, yet captivating sounds. 

10 years since its release, the album is getting the remix treatment and Marc has called in some of the very best in techno talent to give Restore a fresh makeover. The selection of artists who’ve contributed to the ‘Restored’ project includes heavyweights such as Joris Voorn, M.A.N.D.Y. and Popof together with additional reworks from stars of the new generation such as Danny Daze, Julian Jeweil and Harvard Bass, all giving his tracks a new lease of life. In addition, Houle himself has also stepped up to offer a new contemporary take on his own music, collaborating with vocalist Genevieve Marentette on ‘Demor’.

"Restore was the beginning of it all for me.  It was influenced by the sounds of Detroit and the endless parties I went to there in the 90s.  It was my first album and to me it had the perfect balance of darkness, groove and electronic sounds. 10 years later, I am excited to present Restored with some modern interpretations on old tracks by some friends and colleagues who have kept the party going throughout the world."- Marc Houle

Amelie Lens - Exhale

SCI+TEC are proud to play a fresh role in story of this modern-day classic. ‘Destroy This Track’, one of

the acid legend DJ Pierre’s many influential tracks, dropped in 2006 under Pierre’s DJP guise and

dented the house and techno spectrum with its signature wild pitch feels and iconic vocal hat tip to

Daft Punk.

Just over 10 years later, Toronto icon Carlo Lio brings Pierre’s stern sentiment back into the future

with a lolloping rhythmic momentum that the refuses to quit until the last order to work it, smash it

and kill it ring out.

The message is amplified by Carlo’s equally disarming ‘Like This’. Rolling with an industrial strength

undulating groove and humanised rhythmic loop; suspense and tension is strung out throughout the

experience thanks to precision use of textures and tones. As with Carlo’s previous SCI+TEC outings,

this is real heads-down gear.

Two sides of the techno coin flipped consummately, Carlo’s delivered some special here. Tried and

tested under Dubfire’s dubplate duress, the message is clear: Handle with caution.

Florian Meindl's third album "Time Illusion" saw him diving deep into the analog music production by using modular synthesizers and vintage gear as well as performing those machines at exclusive live shows. This EP brings together the analog world and the digital editing and processing possibilities to form a unique blend of both methods. "Metroacid" is carried by a challenging polyrhythmic acid-line, which is lifted to another perceived pitch by a pad cadence, which disappears apruptly after its purpose was fulfilled towards the end of the peripatetic breakdown in order to leaving the room needed to unfold the full potential of the acidic sequence, which errupts unexpectedly and creates a wild peak in the last third of the track and transitions into the elegant outro. "Hidden Populations" represents Florian Meindl's deeper and somewhat softer side with surrealistic designed synth melodies woven into hypnotic drums. The Argentinian Techno producer Flug transformed it into a slightly more systematic and dense construction which stands out with its vigorous beats, making it a super-playable track.

With 'The Healer' EP it appears Charlotte de Witte is on the verge of techno superstardom. Her take on the genre is always unflinchingly excellent and with 'Kuda' she smashes the big room sound out of the park. Expect to hear in the rave throughout the summer and beyond. 

'The Healer' EP is out June 22.

Atroxx - Make You Dance

We are glad to welcome - Mauro Somm to IAMT with his "So Much Of What I Want" release! 
Using the powerful and 'HiFi' sounding leads he tends to make the predominant sounds of Modern Techno in almost every track he produces, followed by a nostalgic and dark melodies in the break. Mauro always try  to surprise people with a powerful drops. It is just so danceable and aggressive at the same time.
The release is spreading some mystery questions without any answers and an undefined path that describes how the author felt at that moment.
Enjoy!

So Much Of What I Want

Mauro Somm - Uncensored (Original Mix)

We welcome Drunken Kong for their last and arguably strongest EP of this year. The Japanese duo delivered 4 peak time tracks that showcase their studio skills in both melodic and percussive techno. 'Vibration' is a peak time percussive track that goes full steam ahead! 'Reset' has strong melodic hooks using their analog synths, coupled together with their trademark energetic groove. 'Straight Ahead' and 'Message' complete this single with two melodic and groovy tracks that are unmistakenly Drunken Kong.

Paul Ritch’s productions and performances, characterised by his powerful and harmonic techno with a touch of pure emotive soul, represent his true signature sound – the one that has projected him to global recognition.

In 2007, Paul Ritch took the techno scene by storm both on stage and as a producer. Ever since, Paul has been defined by his passionate musical rhetoric, projected in releases for labels like Drumcode, SCI+TEC, Saved, Cocoon Recordings, Soma Records and Bpitch Control, among many others, and remixes to classic tracks such as Ondu, Positive Education,Tropical Melons, Remainings III, Magic K, The Test and I’m Burning Inside. References that have led him to be included among Resident Advisor’s all-time Top 100 charted artists.

In 2008, Paul brought to life his own imprint, Quartz Rec, conceived as a platform of artistic expression for showcasing cutting-edge techno sounds and a broad vision of electronic music. With its first release, “Split EP Part 1” (Paul Ritch, 2008), the label held a top 2 position on Beatport ́s Techno chart. And following hot on the heels of its fifth birthday, Quartz Rec has already published original tracks and remixes from Okain, Paco Osuna, Nic Fanciulli, Thomas Muller, Barem, Carlo Lio, Dubfire, 2000 and One, Onno, Cuartero and Anton Pieete.

Ritch’s musical delirium and his creativity on stage are two of his unique trademarks and these have been witnessed in his live performances on four continents including clubs such as Amnesia, Space and Pacha in Ibiza, Fabric and Egg Club in London, Womb and Circus in Tokyo, Berghain and Watergate in Berlin, Goa in Rome and Madrid, Rex Club in Paris, among many others.

He has also performed at festivals including Time Warp (Holland and Germany), Monegros (Spain), Awakenings, Voltt Open Air and ADE (Holland), SW4 (UK), Neo Pop Festival (Portugal), Hyte Park Festival (NYC), Amore Festival (Italy), BPM (Mexico) and WMC (Miami).
2014 was a year in which Paul continued to excel and reinvent himself with his very own musical mindset, and without a doubt, 2015 will be transcendental for Ritch as he looks to keep growing and achieve even greater goals.
