2020

With 2019 having recently passed, Gobsmacked is kicking off the new decade with a pulsing and alive compilation of 14 whopper techno tracks. Every track has been handpicked for its intensity, intelligence, and production skill, developed for a post industrial setting, and brimming with energy. Future Sounds Vol. 3 skims the surface of the techno scene with tracks from seasoned Gobsmacked artists as well as newcomers finally joining the label.

Techno has burst from the underground and taken roots in large-scale festivals and warehouse events across the globe in the past decade. Gobsmacked has been ahead of the curve, serving as a hub for emerging artists making sense of this transition that has elevated techno from dark basements to big room heights. A taste of their future sounds can be found in their latest release. 

In doing so, the Berlin-based label also celebrates 12 years of continuously releasing electronic music, and fourteen years of running underground events by inviting a host of family, friends, and favourite artists. The USB will come with the tracks Rekordbox ready, and a mix of the whole series by Sarah Strandberg in a HD video as the backing to a custom made live visuals sequence.

Info & Buy

Rowka - Bulking Agent [UM002VA | Premiere]

Running through the undergrowth he bumped and clattered against stray branches and loose rocks. He was nearly at the foot of the mountain and whatever had been chasing him would now hopefully scraper away into the abyss behind him. It was dark and the stars flickered in the deep black sky up above. In the distance he could see the lake where he had parked his car, he couldn't be far now. Letting out a deep breath he upped his pace as he approached a clearing in the trees, behind him he could still hear the rumble and rattle of what had chased him down the mountain..

Rowka is set to release a new EP on Unknown Movements, a heavy hitting, pensive techno affair built for big rooms and dark basements. This one carries weight, be warned.

Rowka - Hunt [UM003EP | Premiere]

@rowka-2

Hailing from the north of England, Miles Murgett aka Rowka approaches techno with a refreshingly distinctive language. 
His dancefloor-ready productions are tense, deeply textured, and relentlessly unforgiving - a theme that carries through into his DJ sets - a sonically impressive bath of distortion, industrial sound-design, and off-kilter broken-beats.

Releasing his highly anticipated Scansion EP in April this year on the Unknown Movements imprint, accompanied by a string of singles on various compilations, 2020 alone has seen Rowka get the nod by the likes of The Lady Machine, Sophia Saze, Giant Swan, Lag, Willy Parker, GonzaloMD, and Tommy Four Seven.

With a positive buzz circulating his latest EP, Rowka has also been applauded for his releases on JoeFarr’s label User Experience (UX), Gobsmacked, Upperberry, Taro Records, and Helrad Limited; not to mention his contributions to established mix series’ such as Hypnotic Groove, Dark Underground Podcast, MDNGHT, and Loose Lips.
