French producer Denver releases his debut EP, Avignon, in October on Éphémère Records (ref. FmR-040). Between atmospheric layers, hypnotic pulses, and fragile melodies, Denver's music captures the essence of a city steeped in history and contrasts. Each track acts as a window onto an inner world: sensitive, poetic techno that breathes and dreams. This debut album isn't just an introduction: it's a statement of intent. Denver affirms his desire to compose music that is both immersive and emotional, one that fits within the aesthetic continuity of Éphémère Records while forging his own path.

PREMIERE: Denver - Le Chant De L'aube [FMR-040]

Sergii Galan, the Ukrainian producer also known as Haze, makes his debut on the Kyiv-based Rhythm Büro imprint. The artist who released his first ever EP just two years ago (the excellent ‘Somewhere In Time’ EP on Anagram Records) is now joining the roster of the label affiliated with the event series of the same name. While the Rhythm Büro events are best known for keeping the Ukrainian capital’s dance floors busy, the Rhythm Büro label is set to hit its fifth release with Haze’s RB005. As is evident with the EP’s artwork, RB005 marks the beginning of a new era for the label, breaking the ties with what was previously its signature visual mark.
 
The record’s opening tune is the heaviest on the EP, good reason as to why it was chosen as the title track. ‘Aimless’ is bottom-heavy and bass-rich, done in the true ‘acid eiffel’ face-melting fashion. However, its successor on A2, ‘Inner Voice’, takes a completely different route sound-wise, referencing timeless old-school breaks and vocal samples, which showcase the diversity of Haze’s palate. To further confirm this notion, ‘Prism’ on A3 appears as the EP’s ‘slow burner’, the acidic-psychedelic-downtempo tune you wouldn’t often come across on a record filed under “techno” in 2019.
 
In line with Rhythm Büro tradition of sorts, the B-side of the record is dedicated to the deeper tunes, which blur the lines between techno and house. ‘Majula Sunset’ on B1 is both trippy and melodic; with a groovy rolling bass line only a quality sound system could handle properly. Closing the record is Ben Buitendijk’s remix and combination of two of Haze’s tracks from the EP: ‘Prism’ and ‘Aimless.’ As indicated by the title, this track ‘Natura’ is not only a rework of Haze’s tunes, but also homage to one of Rhythm Büro’s most original events of the same name, which Buitendijk has played, an event which is held in the forest outside Kyiv every summer.

Pittsburgh resident Shawn Rudiman releases his debut EP on Tresor Records. Titled Autonomic Pilot, it features shifting tables of subliminally orchestral synths and rich drum textures that spawn new voyages.

A bold approach underlines ‘KNSR’, where saturated acid manipulates the cinematic intent of the brassy synth strokes. Too Far Gone goes for the interstellar, featuring insistent, playful percussion amidst widescreen resonances before resolving into a cerebral workout of Rudiman’s trademark machine funk. ‘Erotique Feedback’ shows Rudiman honing his focus into what will no doubt be a regular in clubs - a 303-oriented electro trip, a synaptic drive into glittering acid bliss.

On the B-side, the mind magic of ‘Past The Edge’ shifts outside, bringing a sunrise for those who reinvent the possibilities of the day. ‘Eyes Forward’ is a techno banger, forcefully pointing in the direction of travel and shutting the door behind. Ascending effortlessly, Rudiman motors into essential repetition. ‘Backwards Tomarrows’ brings an industrial feel, almost obscuring melodies and cadences that recalls the galactic innovations of the Detroit sound.

The studio is Rudiman’s vehicle, the weapon and the balm. From synthetic wonders to dark-warehouse drum missives, Autonomic Pilot proves once again Rudiman as a master of his craft. Tresor Records is proud to welcome his new work into the world.

Tresor.311 releases July 5th on 180g. vinyl and digital.

"After a few months of silence, we can finally announce what we have been working on for a long time. A full and bold new chapter of 5 new ÆX releases. What started off as a sublabel of Indigo Aera, during the last years has grown out into a fully-fledged 'imprint'. The recipe remains simple: 4 or 5 tracks from various artists pressed on a limited batch of vinyl. A straight forward track selection of machine-made music in the full range consisting of Dj-tool dancefloor anthems to experimental soundscapes and ambient works. A home for talented new producers, but also a place for more incognito sidesteps of established names."

ÆX011 welcomes back Tetelepta, Daniel Jacques and Selfsoul and welcomes Dutch dub techno connaisseur Roger Gerressen to their series. Tetelepta kicks of with a mesmerizing 8 minute floaty downtempo jam where Roger follows up, increasing the pace with a razor-sharp dub techno cut. On the flip, Daniel Jacques brings his emotive house once more topped off by Selfsoul with a fierce techno work-out. A tasteful appetizer for more heat to come in these exciting white label series from Amsterdam.
