PLTM014 is our first EP this year, a split EP between Label Owner FLAWS and Underground Minneapolis based prodigy Lonefront

Lonefront featured on ‘Formed Ethics’ with his track ‘Carnivalesque’ back in February earlier this year, Since then he has been on a momentous journey developing his craft, especially his drifting live sets, Recently playing at Reform Curated by DVS1 in Los Angeles. Ross (His real name) embodies an incredibly compassionate approach towards music, focusing on his niche of rhythm and flowing synthesis, his sound can be easily identified as the name that is Lonefront.

With this being FLAWS’s Second EP this year it is a special one for him pairing up with Lonefront on his home label. FLAWS has been observant and productive in this timezone, reforming his sound and vision as he enters the new period of Electronic Music. Constantly on the search for knowledge and light, it leads him to many exciting projects, some to be announced later this year.

Release Date - 30/11/2021 (Digital Worldwide)

PLTM015 ‘Contemplation’ by Jeroen Search and Arthur Robert 

This year it’s a honour that we welcome two pioneers to our community, First we welcome Jeroen Search, one of techno’s most inspirational pioneers, A true intellect, someone who has been a clear notable figure since the Mid 90’s in his own majestic way. He provides us with ‘Revised Config’ a stripped back head nodder, delicate pulsing tones, high end finesse all with a masterful storyline. 5th Dimension, a mere reference to an alternative reality, a constant evolving pulse runs through this one, sharp grounding percussion with a clear everywhere and nowhere feel. Classic Search! 

Arthur Robert, someone who has set the mark over these last years with masterful releases, a true inspiration presenting the very depth of his soul with sonic language. He presents ‘Heartbreak’, A Heads down soul searcher with fine attention, distinctive melody with a clear context, set with  luring mysterious sweeping percussion. ‘Kinship’ is the second, a clear reflector on the dancefloor, High momentum progressions with crystal clear precision and rooting balance all with the sense of a destination in sight.

PLTM016 ‘Metaphysics‘ by Biri and Rhythm Assembler 

We are very excited to welcome two dear inspirations to our community.

First, Biri. Born in Israel, he is a musical genius with deep roots and a clear vision. His opening track, ‘Platonism’, is a majestic soul shaker intended to put you into a deep state of introspection. Delicate tones and emotional chords run throughout, guided by a meditative Vocoder. Biri’s second track, ‘Ontological Naturalism’, is a peak-time hazy mover packed with intelligent percussive work. Its atmospheric sequence produces vivid moments of clarity.

Next, Rhythm Assembler (aka MTD). Well known for his dedication and consistency throughout the years, he needs no introduction. His first track, ‘Locker’, is bound to create some sparks with pulsating rhythms, slick percussion, and eerie tones… this track is a moving entity. The final track, ‘Till The End’, creates a transcendental experience that fuels the sense of wonder.
A mysterious pad is present throughout, complimenting the pitched sequence, and the percussion guides the story further. This is the sound of Metaphysics.

Release text:
After OW001's maiden-voyage into outer space, Outworld now takes us to the underworld courtesy of label head Klangkuenstler's 'Balthazar' EP, which marries raw peaktime-power with claustrophobic-come-ecstatic atmospheres, served over the course of four tracks.
The devil's dancing on the title-track: as serrated off-hits shatter on tough kicks, a wicked saw-riff begins to drill through the drums as if summoned from Hades. In contrast, the bass-driven body and pulsating sinus-tone of 'Zorn Amons' grind like teeth as they build in tension. A moment of illusive release comes with 'Das Schattenreich', on which the reverberating, fast-paced percussion
runs for escape, hunted fiercely by a meaty trance-lead. On 'Jenseits', though, Klangkuenstler pulls us back into purgatory, showcasing a dramatic end to a carefully crafted and devilishly fun EP of rough club bangers.

Canada's Atroxx is set to release massive forthcoming collaboration with fellow Montreal based producer Mike Laz on his own label Starskream on August 23rd. 

The collaboration between Atroxx and the up-and-coming techno prodigy will be the seventh stellar release on Starskream. Named after Slipknot’s DJ Starscream, the label has a similar ethos to the heavy metal juggernauts with a focus on menacing, bass-driven, unapologetic techno.

The four track EP also features two mixes from Dutch producer and internationally recognised name in techno, Industrialyzer. The first is a heavy techno weapon that packs a punch at the same time as inviting the listener to become entirely immersed in the kick driven stomper. Industrialyzer’s Warehouse mix cranks things up even further with enough industrial-strength percussion and conjuring synths to dominate even the most formidable of dancefloors.

Berlin DJ and producer Mython is coming back on FLASH with his second EP this year after appearing in countless mixes of respected DJs. His playful tracks manage to combine rock solid bass fundaments with emotion driven, extatic synthesizers on top - never being cheesy or too dominant.

E-Missions co-founder P.Leone returns to Radio Slaves’ Rekids Special Projects dropping four high grade techno cuts.

Known for releasing on labels such as Work Them Records and his own co-run E-Missions, P.Leone has firmly become of the most exciting artists within the inner circles of driving underground music. The Berlin-based American artist and Radio Slave collaborator is now welcomed back to Rekids, bringing his versatile sound that encompasses dark techno and groove driven house.

'Beyond Me' opens with eerie warehouse glitches, cavernous drums that ring out into a huge open space while unsettling pads and textures grab your attention, 'Hard to Find' is a rugged, relentless cut with perfectly forward moving rhythm with detailed edgy synths that keep you in suspense. 'Lenox' continues the energy with distorted drums, hitting hard beneath a blistering groove, 'The Genes is of A Flower' then takes control as an atmospheric track with structural synths.

Having initially released a pair of collaborative white labels featuring Lucy and Alex.Do over the last couple of years, Rødhåd’s imprint WSNWG notches up the pace with a vengeance in lieu of third instalment, foreshadowing another trio of joint EPs to be released throughout 2020 and including co-ops with Ø [Phase] (June), Daniel Avery (September) and Rene Wise (November). 

This also comes with the opening of a new chapter in Rødhåd’s career, as he will be starting to tour live in addition to his DJ sets, including dates at Berghain, Re-Textured Festival in London, Awakenings in Amsterdam; also joining forces with Sebastian Mullaert’s as part of his Circle Of Live project.

Borderless by essence, WSNWG’s aim is simple: showcase collaborations between Rødhåd and a variety of like-minded artists from various horizons, all recorded in the warm creative environment of his Berlin studio. ‘WSNWG003′ is the result of three sessions French techno stalwart Antigone and Rødhåd had in 2018 and 2019, with each of the tracks’ titles referring to the particular date it was made and recorded – understand ‘180702’ as 2nd of July 2018.

The journey starts off with the nostalgia-soaked, rolling punch of ‘180702.1’ – a number that justly epitomises both artists’ idiosyncrasies through a fine-tuned blender of near-classical emotional stir and gridlocked floor dynamics on a dubby tip. Delving further deep into post-industrial murk, its ‘.2’ counterpart casts a spell of veiled menace upon dancers and ravers through clanky assemblies of rattling drums, mirroring signals and brooding droney flights.
Flip it over and here’s ‘190709’ shifting the focus to breaks-heavy traction in powerful fashion. Riddled with mangled pep-talk samples, raucous machine howling and stuttering junglisms, the track spins in and out of orbit to entice the listener into a much physically demanding workout. Last but not least, no-nonsense floor-shredder ‘190904’ treats us to a brain-melting trip of fast-rotation synth loops, bleepy subs and fevered hi-hats that shall fit just right in the middle of any climactic buildup worthy of the name.

Techno pioneer Robert Hood debuts on Rekids with a blistering release entitled ‘Nothing Stops Detroit’ ahead of an album this winter.

Over the last three decades the Underground Resistance alum has continually been at the forefront of the techno genre whilst releasing on many of electronic music’s finest labels to boot. In recent years his solo outings have appeared on a select few labels such as Dekmantel, Music Man Records, not to mention his very own M-Plant. Having made appearances on Rekids in the past remixing label boss Radio Slave - both as Robert Hood (‘Don’t Stop No Sleep’) and Floorplan (‘Feel The Same’) - the Detroit originator now drops a four track release in his official debut on the label.

With its machine aesthetic, ‘Nothing Stops Detroit’ is unmistakably Hood from start to finish. Precision kick drums propel the title track forward as stuttering effects and deep stabs work alongside a march band rhythm. ‘7 Mile Dog’ is next with its grainy synths and scintillating pads, making way for the meandering bassline, rattling atmospherics and trippy, oscillating top line of ‘Ignite A War’. Finally, ‘The Cure’ is a cacophony of twisted percussion and rumbling low-end that energetically concludes matters.

After the success of his Uncage debut EP "SUP?" last summer which was supported by a some of the major tastemakers of the scene, we're really happy to welcome back fast-rising Ackermann from Stuttgart, Germany for his second EP on the label. 

He didn't mess around this time and delivered two straight driving techno bombs in his bouncy head-bopping style! On top there are brilliant remixes by two of the best upcoming producers at the moment: Gene Richards Jr., who is coming hot after his debut EPS on Uncage anD Truncate's WRKTRX. 

Also on the remix duties is Brazil's finest Marcal, who is dropping bombs left and right in 2020 on labels such as Rekids or Planet Rhythm.  Break your neck to these!

“Depth, repetition, and gradual variation of sonic elements creates and amplifies a feedback loop between the information received by the listener’s brain from physical sound and the alteration this information causes to that listener’s subjective state of consciousness, resulting in a cohesive and complex experience — a ‘trip’, or a short-lived demonstration of the interrelatedness of physicality, information, and subjectivity in the dynamic process that may fundamentally underlie the formation of all reality, a process ultimately hidden from direct observation as well as facilitated by the quantum phenomena in the brain.”
