SHDW presents ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno.

Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025.
The fourth edition of SHDW’s flagship ‘Federation Of Rytm’ VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/ producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether that's in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages.

"I’ve lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the label’s evolution and a glimpse of what’s next. ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish.” – SHDW.

Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ lands as a 4x12” vinyl package and digitally via Mutual Rytm on 24th October 2025.

The pseudo-occult ‘Anthropomorphism’ offers a fresh take on classic industrial techno, exploring themes including spirituality, mysticism and one of the prevailing concerns of our time; Artificial Intelligence. The metallic and almost dull kick echoes against the angelic chorals layered on top of the dark industrial vocal sample that blend into the eerie atmosphere of the bassline. The track reflects on imagined dystopias and the rise of AI, tapping into the depths of the human experience in an age of machines. The vocal samples draw parallels between medieval humans who saw the Devil as the ultimate evil, condemning all that challenged their understanding and idea of god. The sample used in the breakdown of ‘Anthropomorphism’ recounts the various different names of God in ancient languages including Sumerian and Aramaic, pointing to the argument that there is no right or wrong way to understand any one matter. This track aligns with the perceptual dichotomies of my sound and taps into the depths of the human experience in an age of machines and the rise of AI, addressing fundamental questions that we have about the world we live in.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Elizar Mel' gem on 'Depht.Request'.

Elizar Mel delivers his new Thunder Roll EP on Depth.Request — a four-track journey of destrucured rhythms, raw intensity, and spiritual undertones. 
From the mythic depths of the title track to the storm-summoning “Kali Yuga”, and the cinematic, broken-groove energy of “Punji Stake”, the release blurs the line between dancefloor power and deep, with IDM background and atmospheric listening. 
A striking statement from the Russian artist and co-owner of Enter the Void.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Ton Globiter. "Cross (Groove Re-Adjustment)" comes off the release, No Kaunas, No Future Remixed, following up on the artist's EP of the same name on HECTIC. Each remix blurs genre lines and connects eras. CLOSE PROXIMITY open the pack with a nostalgic yet fresh rework of Kaunas Is The New London, channeling that golden 90s progressive energy. Vladyslav Putistin takes Reminiscing into a darker electroclash dimension, laced with EBM grit and trance tension. Finally, Ton Globiter reshapes Cross with Detroit-inflected dub chords and a razor-sharp groove — a fitting close to a release that looks forward while nodding back.

Out October 31st. Get it at: https://hecticrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/no-kaunas-no-future-remixed

Tiga is back to tell you what you’ve always needed to hear with his new single “Eye Luv U.” Co-produced by one half of Paranoid London, the new single harnesses all the pure source energy of what enlightened club-goers often describe as their favourite emotion. 

“The title came to me while I was playing a pyramid that had been converted into a multi-purpose event space,” says the Canadian DJ/Producer. "The hieroglyphics over what is now the coat check made me imagine a world in which pictures could mean words and words could mean anything. The thing about wordplay is that it’s fascinating to conceive of different realities informed by different systems of meaning, and how each reality would invariably bend to vault me to the pinnacle of all possible worlds. It’s humbling, really.”

Rising Scottish talent Jasper James darkens the tone considerably on his remix, which would not be out of place at a classic off-the-grid warehouse rave. But not so fast, because Butch’s equally great “80s Warehouse Acid Remix” also lays claim to that warehouse, challenging what it means to be “warehouse” in an age when corporations pay people to throw parties in what used to be underground settings. 

“Warehouse is a state of mind,” adds Tiga helpfully. “It’s that indescribable feeling that transports you back to the first time you read an oral history about dance culture. I read one sponsored by Mountain Dew about three years ago, and I’ve never looked back.”

After appearing on A-Sides Volume 4 at the start of 2016, Ilario Alicante now makes his full debut on the label. He has quickly established himself as a key player amongst a new crop of techno artists and truly is one of the brightest stars in the game. His skills behind the decks have seen him tour the globe with Cocoon, as well as appear at the likes of elrow, Lovefest and We Are FSTVL.

Opening with ‘Times’, the EP gets off to a flying start as the track rages straight into top gear, rolling through 6 minutes of pure power. This is a peak time tool that is set to be heard across dance floors worldwide this year. ‘Awakened’ you may have heard from Adam Beyer’s sets of late, a firm favourite which gets his much sought after seal of approval. Rampant syths and mesmerizing vocal hooks all make it one hell of a journey. ‘Sense’ is a more industrial affair, chunky basslines take your hand through the track as it charges on. It’s that classic deep Ilario Alicante sound we all know and love. The EP finishes off on ‘Apogeo’, with its hypnotic siren tones and acute percussion. One thing is for sure, Ilario Alicante is in a league of his own.

Filled with contrasts in light and shadow and all the shades in between, Afterlife is thrilled to announce a collaborative release of Mind Against and Aether. 
‘Solaris’ is a melancholic listen in the form of a three track EP that brings in the light, dives in the dark and finally grounds you.
The title track ‘Solaris’ starts off with a poised, hypnotic groove that surges into arpeggiated chords, lighting the way. ‘Eclipse’ drifts off into a svelte bassline working with a darker, driven composition of synths. ‘Event Horizon’ finishes with an immaculately hewn journey, with focus on harmonic developments and whirring polymetrics.

Techno focused the labels roster includes people like Nicole Moudaber, Harvey McKay, Sidney Charles plus Josh Wink, and the new release is from Saeed Younan.

Having made his first appearance on Carl Cox's much famed Intec imprint in 2015, its now time for the much anticipated follow up.

"Annihilate" starts with rumbling tom drums that create the bassline and lay the foundation for the tracks rolling groove. Relentless hi-hats provide a forward momentum that adds to the menacing tension created by the vocal sample, from where track gets its title. A fusion of moods, the euphoric lead sound provides uplifting warmth, which contrasts with the overall dark and driving atmosphere.

"Pimp Slap" is percussion lead with was a primal groove typical of Saeeds much loved trademark sound. Synths are used to build suspense and the dramatic vocal stabs become hypnotic as the track progresses. Simple yet effective the main feature is a series of dancefloor focused drops where things strip back only to slam back in with increased impact and an eruption of energy.
