Mha Iri - State Of Mind (Bolster Remix)

Pre-order: https://terminalm.lnk.to/AlexStein

Flourishing Brazilian-born Berlin-based DJ/producer Alex Stein set to release stunning ‘Rebirth’ EP via Monika Kruse’s respected Terminal M label.

This masterful 4-track solo EP extends Stein’s fine run of form with title-track ‘Rebirth’ showcasing the Berlin-based talent’s trademark dark and brooding melodic techno where rousing choral synths swell behind pounding percussion. ‘Impact Theory’ follows, delivering cavernous textures and a pulsating club groove before ‘Pursuit’ serves up an intense synth-driven workout. Final track, ‘The Horn’ reveals more monstrously stimulating, low frequency production that will be sure ignite club and festival dancefloors around the world.

Jay Lumen has returned to his home base Footwork with an otherworldly Acid Techno banger Planet III.

303 elements and gravitational heavy sounds orbiting title track Planet III are causing a massive impact on the stamping grounds of the main stages on the surface below. In higher spheres the Conscious Mind awakens by a scratching bass-line and a ferocious saw synth freeing the mind. All in all a transending release.

UMEK - Managing the Moments

Pre-order: https://drumcode.ffm.to/dc217 

Drumcode starts 2020 with a sterling EP from genre hero Thomas Schumacher, his first on the label after a long association with Adam Beyer. No ifs or buts , if you’re a techno fan, Thomas Schumacher holds a place in your heart - his 1997 classic ‘When I Rock’ still gets rinsed today. Thomas has a vast body of stellar work on his influential former label Spielzeug Schallplatten, including a release from Adam Beyer, and he continues to deliver pin-sharp productions via his Electric Ballroom imprint, including a scorching remix of ‘The House of House’, the 1994 classic from Cherry Moon Trax. The rework was first played by Beyer at Time Warp and has been a 2019 highlight. 

He first contributed to Drumcode in 2018 with ‘The Unseen’, a stirring contribution to ‘A- Sides Vol.7’, setting up a maiden EP with ‘Crimson’. Beginning with the brilliant ‘Feist’, it’s a no-nonsense brain melter, as 303 arpeggios bloom and recede, creating a thrilling rhythmic intensity throughout. The title track ‘Crimson’ is crafted around two minutes of tension-building synths, before a beat finally appears and a rasping deep bassline commands the dancefloor. ‘Anker’ brings the rave with eagle -eye focus, unleashing a wall of fierce acid to round out the pack. 

“Adam and I have both been producing and playing techno since the early‘ 90s. I have deep respect for him as a person and artist. It’s an honour to have the opportunity to collaborate in this way.” – Thomas Schumacher.

Release date: 6 January 2020

Premiere: Thomas Schumacher - Crimson

One of Drumcode’s most indispensable talents, Tiger Stripes blesses us with another classy two-tracker.

In the last 11 years Mikael Nordgren aka Tiger Stripes has appeared on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode and Truesoul labels a total of eight times. The Swede has a masterful command of his machines and is an inspired sound designer, imbuing his productions with bags of creativity and cross-genre futurism. His last outing on DC ‘Into Isolation’ was a colourful five-piece of super-charged techno, reinforcing the breadth and strength of his studio work. Nine months on, we have another offering to add to the canon.

‘Jack The Garage’ is a fast and furious leader, mixing up jacking dancefloor functionalism with raw and distorted sounds inspired by garage rock bands such as The 13 Floor Elevators and The Stooges. ‘Back in Black’ draws influence from unlikely sources, Nordgren mining latent inspiration from the smooth synthesized sounds of Travis Scott after his daughter introduced him to the hip-hop maestro. The resulting cut is a slick slice of electro-fuelled techno, with as many sides as a rubik cube, as bass stabs, muffled vocal effects and distorted guitar stabs keep things interesting throughout.

We're pleased to welcome back one of the Respekt OGs: Tom Laws.

'Time and Place' is a sublime slice of rave-referencing, peak-time, goosebump-inducing techno mastery, with a glorious original vocal backed up by classic pianos and pads, which then submit to a pummelling groove. 'Nothing to Hide' on the flip is a more straightforward, but no less effective tool, with a hypnotic, looping synthline and vocal.

Cologne-based Patrik broke into the scene back in 2010 with his unique spin on techno. Signed to a number of top dance labels including Intec and Filth On Acid, he describes his sound as something which can make people dance. 

“His raw sound with emotional melodies and deep lyrics really touched me when I listened to it.” @monikakruse said. 

The latest EP ‘Like Forever’ on @terminalm combines trance like melodies, growling FX and warehouse drums in a soulful meleé of emotive mind music. Tribal rhythms, spoken word vocals and splashy percussive underbelly complete the picture. 

Monika adds her magic touch to the remix of the lead track, teasing out the main motifs and injecting a large dose of her own personality. ‘Hope’ is a whirlwind of arps and kettledrum kicks that create a wildly expansive soundscape that hypnotises you by stealth.

Like Forever

Premiere: Patrik Berg "Like Forever" - Terminal M

Atroxx is back on Markantonio's AnalyticTrail with a new track called “Breathe” which also features a remix from Roberto Capuano who is known for his releases on labels like Drumcode, Second State and Suara.

In addition to AnalyticTrail, Atroxx has also featured on Odd Recordings, Unrilis, Octopus and Kraftek. "Breathe" is the first single taken from Atroxx forthcoming album titled "Second Renaissance" that’s scheduled for the 6 of November and signifies the next chapter in his creative journey.

Stepping up on remix duty, Roberto Capuano is one of Italy’s most accomplished young talents who in addition to playing DJ sets all over the world, is also a respected producer who has released on some of techno’s most influential labels.

The original mix of “Breathe” opens the release with a slow building tension that gradually introduces a monstrous lead synth and its menacing vibe fills the track with an enthralling energy. Keeping the original's dark vibe and namesake vocal sample, Roberto Capuano reworks the track into a spacious version with a new funk-fuelled bassline that drives the track, while an eerie melody adds to the suspense.

Atroxx states that “The track Breathe is about taking a step back from all things, thinking clearly and logically before reacting to an issue. It is about being logical and not acting on impulse, as making the right choice requires patience, and we find patience through keeping calm. The song itself has a harsh synth lead to represent the chaos of life’s ups and downs, and the vocals remind us that even when things get tense, it’s important to breath and keep a level head.”

RESPEKT is the label manifestation of the internationally recognised artist duo Spektre. It has been developed as a base for the research and exploration of their sound and to experiment within the new and innovative world of electronic music that we live in today.  Derived from an anagram of Spektre, the Respekt label stands for the artist’s interminable belief in the underground soundtrack that spans the globe, and for the inspiration they gleam from producing, performing, and moving in the circles it revolves in.

As two of the most widely respected techno artists to come out of the UK in recent times, founders Paul Maddox & Richard Wakley have travelled the world in the past three years performing the Spektre LIVE show, to rapturous acclaim. While stealing the show at clubs around the globe, they have been inspired by cultures from every dance floor, and as producers they have released on the crème de la crème of techno's elite labels. 

Massive support has come from the likes of techno kings Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Dubfire and Laurent Garnier, while James Zabiela has championed them as his “ones to watch” and quotes “Spektre's productions consist of solid techno that really remembers the rave. Music that is cool but also fun and highly danceable. These guys are just going to get bigger"…

The natural progression is their label RESPEKT, with the first release due at the end of November and another three before Spring serving as a build up to their eagerly anticipated debut studio album, due for release in early 2010. 

Get ready to be inspired, exhilarated and enthralled. Get prepared for the next instalment and always, Expekt the unexspekted!!!
