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.

SKUDGE 009 
Out now!
http://www.rushhour.nl/store_detailed.php?item=89033
Solid mainstay Skudge has been pushing their unique mixture of house and techno for over half a decade now.

In a new direction of becoming a sole producer for now, Skudge 009 is the first mark of this new direction.

The intertwined beat structures of ’Waveless’ on the A-side takes us to charted Skudge territory. The small modulations and the pushing groove has become a trademark.

Flipping over to ’Motion’, a colder and haunting atmosphere binds this two tracker together, with a lot of focus and ambition for the future.

Turbo Recordings is proud to present the kind of remix pack we’ve heard you talk about in your sleep, featuring a banging techno remix from masked man/presumed German Redshape, a 10-minute minimal epic from "techno gastronomist" Dubfire, an electro-funk jam from veteran Clone machinist Dexter, and two mixes (one vinyl, one digital) from rising Turbo star ANNA that will enrich the lives of completists everywhere.

Label boss Tiga has declared this to be his favourite release of recent times, with each track instantly plunging him deep into a persona he calls “Mr. Goin’ Crazy,” which he describes thusly: “Your best friend if you’re feeling’ the highs and your worst nightmare if you ain’t deep in the groove…can rap his way out of any cypher…naturally good at math…makes his own ceramic dinnerware with insane designs and patterns…” (EDITED FOR BREVITY)

Tiga vs Audion - Stabbed In The Back (ANNA Vinyl Mix)

Once again, we shine a spotlight on the amazing music coming from Nina Kraviz's трип​ imprint and after they made our labels of the year list for the second time, it comes as no surprise.

After incredible releases from PTU, Biogen and Deniro this year, the label closes out 2017 with another sinister debut EP from Roma Zuckerman​. 

The four track 'That Present Terminal' is more of the intricate, forward-thinking output we've come to expect on трип​ and we've got the premiere of 'So What (I Feel Dirty)​'

That Present Terminal

Premiere: Roma Zuckerman 'So What (I Feel Dirty!)'

Preorder :https://special-request.bandcamp.com/album/through-the-looking-glass

When Paul Woolford adopted his Special Request alias again last year for the 'Belief System' album, we kind of lost our shit. The LP was one of our favourites of 2018 and once again cemented Woolford as a certified master of the scene.

At the end of the year we crowned Nina Kraviz as our DJ of the Year and ultimately it was an easy decision to make. Her sets are electric, her label, трип, is one of the most forward-thinking and genre-bending imprints in the world and her parties buck the formulaic trend that most follow.

When we found out that Nina was remixing 'Curtain Twitcher' by Special Request, we jumped at the chance to listen. When we realised she'd done not one but two remixes, well we were sold.

Here is the premiere of Kraviz's Alice Was Here remix and it's more of the brilliant same. A true meeting of magical minds.

Catch Nina at her трип party in Barcelona next week. Info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1578558852236702/

“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.”
