Skeef Menezes, a techno producer from Mumbai, presents his latest track ‘Mayday’ as part of NECHTO’s exclusive Bandcamp project. Having produced electronic music since 2009, Skeef is known for his puristic approach to techno, with hard, hypnotic sets characterized by sinister tones and growling basslines. His releases on labels like Nastia’s Nechto, Fernanda Martins’ Hardwork Records, and Arjun Vagale’s Asymetrik have garnered support from major artists like Ben Sims, Amelie Lens, Richie Hawtin, and Luke Slater.

‘Mayday’ is another example of Skeef’s mastery of sound experimentation, crafted specifically for the dancefloor with pulsating rhythms and dark energy. Through NECHTO’s Bandcamp project, Skeef continues to push boundaries while connecting with a global audience. The project offers emerging producers a chance to stand out, retain full revenue from their tracks, and be part of a movement that reshapes the music landscape.

Artist: apaull w. Christian Smith (Rmx) Title: Alphabet Loop
Label: Furnace Room Records
Format: EP
Cat. No.: frr019
Release Format: Digital
Release Date: October 25th, 2024
Genre:  Techno
Distribution: Superstition Entertainment Network Domain: www.apaull.com

01. Alphabet Loop (Original Mix)
02. Alphabet Loop (Christian Smith Remix)

Release Notes
London, Canada based electronic music producer apaull releases the single “Alphabet Loop” single along with a Christian Smith remix.
“Alphabet Loop” is the first single from apaull’s second album „Homogeny“ set to be released in February 2025. This first teaser includes a hypnotic techno Christian Smith remix.
apaull: „The track “Alphabet Loop” was conceived during an Amsterdam Dance Event, where I pulled together a full demo, including vocals, in my hotel room.
It is about the vagaries of (mis)-communication. The lyrics “I’ve got all the letters. Can’t find the words” can be construed in many ways, from the literal to the more abstract. Today I might re-write the vocals to “I’ve got all the letters. Not allowed to write the words”, so censorship-laden are the times.“
Christian Smith is one of the world’s leading exponents of techno, both as a DJ and producer he is always bold and innovative. In 1995 he started his label Tronic, and since then it has dominated the charts with releases from Christian himself and the likes of ANNA, Enrico Sangiuliano, Paco Osuna and Drunken Kong. The label has been the top-selling techno label in the world according to Beatport and recently celebrated its 500th release. Christian has dominated the charts and DJ’s playlists with a steady flow of releases on many high-profile labels like Drumcode, Filth On Acid, Trick, Symbolism, Bedrock, and Tronic.
The “Homogeny” cover lettering is by famed Brooklyn based artist Al Diaz. At 15 he was the recognized subway graffiti artist known as „BOMB-ONE.“ His friend- ship and collaboration with schoolmate Jean-Michel Basquiat on SAMO®.(an Avant- garde graffiti project), and the iconic hip-hop record, „Beat Bop“ are noted in
contemporary art history.

The cover art is by Jay Hodgson an artist https://linktr.ee/jayhodgson and music professor.

ANNĒ & SERA J return for the second edition of their Symbiosis series on Mutual Rytm.

ANNĒ, known for potent techno on the likes of Soma and Hardgroove, and Nechto and Life In Patterns associate Sera J, have had standout years that have seen them put out a stream of essential club tracks. They are partners in both life and music, and the first volume of ‘Symbiosis’ on SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint was their first release together. Delivering an honest representation of their innermost feelings, having also contributed to the label's ‘Federation Of Rytm III’ VA in February, this new six-track EP (plus bonus cuts) presents a ‘mature and refined connection between their souls’.

The second instalment of 'Symbiosis' reflects not only their deep personal connection, but also their collaborative synergy as musical peers with the same goals. The EP captures the essence of their mutual artistic journey and showcases the strength of their bond both in life and through their shared creative vision - to create a storyline through sounds coming from their souls and convey a narrative that many listeners may find relatable.

SERA J kicks off with the lithe and melodically elegant techno of ‘Your Soul Is Art’ which will have both heart and heels dancing. ‘Illusions’ is a more heavy and dubby cut with paired back grooves and pulsing synths, while ‘Glacial Pace’ is an urgent deep techno roller with turbocharged stabs and huge icy hi hats locking you into a trance.

ANNĒ steps up on the B-side with ‘Floating Waves’ exploring physical, chunky drum funk and raw synth textures. ‘Planetary Dust’ is a dark and moody astral techno journey to the stars, before ‘Sweet Seventeen’ brings a more melodic cut with a sense of hope and joy in the bright pads that shimmer above the glitchy grooves.

Both artists also offer two digital bonus cuts with SERA J's ‘Syncrosonix’ and ‘Space Velocity’ delivering perfectly reduced minimal techno monsters, while ANNĒ’s ‘Gentle Loop’ and ‘Starburst’ are interplanetary trips with widescreen cosmic synths.

ANNĒ & SERA J 'Symbiosis II’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 13th December 2024 in both vinyl & digital formats.

It's time to introduce you to a new and exciting artist on our label imprint – FANK. Until now, his work has been audible through his masterings of other artists on Inherit Records, and now through his own productions as well. His tracks blend super groovy drum tracks with atonal and seemingly hollow elements – all crafted into masterful arrangements. The sparse, yet repetitive use of vocals grounds the pieces, making them accessible not just to enthusiasts but to a wider audience. 

In a more interpretive than classical remix, Human Safari skillfully incorporates even an acoustic instrument. These Driving Deep Tech Grooves are guaranteed to get every foot moving, whether on the dancefloor or at home.
