BLANKA - Love Letter (Arkan Remix)

Ignez & Rødhåd - VERDUROUS 01 [220207.2]

Revisited

Target Line (Vril Remix 2023)

"Blanket" is a self-released EP that captures childhood memories through underground techno, using repetitive loops to create a unique atmosphere.

Blanket is warm and playful, with deep, smooth low ends that give it a relaxed, flowing feel. The repeating synth loops create a comforting, dreamlike atmosphere, evoking the feeling of getting lost in your imagination. Petalstep has a tougher vibe, with strong beats and mysterious sounds that add a sense of intrigue and movement. Finally, Glint is dreamy and reflective, with glitchy, bleeping sounds that create a calm, almost surreal vibe.

This EP is a self-release that blends deep, atmospheric techno with the simple yet powerful emotions of youth, taking the listener through a journey of playful, intense, and introspective soundscapes.

Falling Ethics welcomes Berlin based Nastia Reigel with a first full EP for the label. Having contributed one track to last year's label anniversary compilation, she now delivers four of her excellent forceful techno jams to form the Over And EP. Over the course of four tracks there's a constant tension that combines sturdy drum patterns and propulsive grooves. The kick drums are playful and the thundering bass lines strengthen this impeccable outburst of energy even more. It's a high intensity pack of dancefloor focussed techno with many mischievous details that stand out.

Digital release date: March 7th.
Vinyl release date: March 14th

@slv-berlin | A Different Space EP 
[SOMA495D]

SLV marks a return to Soma with his latest single, ‘A Different Space EP’. As usual, the anonymous producer deliver his trademark style of hard hitting percussive tracks built around interesting melodies and sequences.

After the ambient opener, A Different Space, Hook kicks off the EP at pace. SLV’s pumping kicks and low end create the groundwork for shuffling percussive elements and rasping hi hats tied nicely together by an infections and warping synth line. Keeping up the high tempo, Tars goes full pelt with a solid repetitive beat which proves to be an effective dance floor cut. Closing out this latest release, Radiance has a more haunting feel as unnerving, hardly recognisable vocals and tweeted out synth element move around another stomping and heavy handed beat.

SLV once again proves his credentials as one of the most exciting producers moving up the Techno ranks.

Now an established force in contemporary Techno, Mike Bierbach, better known under his stage name Rødhåd is someone who has seriously put in the work. Having cut his teeth DJing as a relatively unnoted (but well loved by those in the know) local in Berlin for 10 years, one could argue that by the time success knocked on his door, he was more than ready for playing the international stage. It was during these 10 years of obscurity when he refined his craft to become the singular DJ he is now. 

Launching his party-series-turned-label Dystopian in 2009 was what truly tipped the ball over for Rødhåd. In a time where the Berlin scene was heavily oversaturated by fluffy, miscellaneous dance music, he & his peers set out to form a platform for real techno. The reception to this was raucous. 

Although he has lauded productions and remixes to his name, DJing is his true forte. Before abandoning his day job as a draftsman in construction “The Red” (as some call him due to his gingered, bearded appearance) was known for playing very long sets in Berlin’s most notorious hideaways. 

With an album, several EPs & remixes for a multitude of different artists under his belt, Rødhåd the producer has received equal praise as Rødhåd the DJ. Dystopian has hosted most of his releases, but in 2018 he founded a new label WSNWG that serves as a home for collaborative productions, excavated in sessions at his East-Berlin studio with his peers such as Lucy, Alex.Do, & Antigone.
