This posthumous EP gathers the final tracks JackWasFaster worked on, a re‑imagined take on his debut cut Bitter Pill, and a blistering remix from Anatolian Weapons. Maybe they’ll help crack the case. Or maybe one day JackWasFaster will rise from the dead.
Until then, peace and love.

Following EPM's recent vinyl collaboration with Paris' Yoyaku on Reel By Real's "Surkit – Remixed and Remastered", EPM present a new project, again with a French touch. Madben returns (this time solo) for the "Groove On EP".

Born in the North of France, Madben has retained a taste for DIY culture and a nickname that comes direct from the warehouse. The Lille resident has been "living" techno since his emergence in the scene. From the 1990s, he followed this new scene closely via the flyers he found at local record stores. With his friends, he spent nights in Belgium; Fuse in Brussels, Kozzmozz parties in Ghent or in disused factories in Kortrijk - free and perfect territory to listen to the best sounds of the time.

In 2010, Benjamin put his savings into a rudimentary studio, a pair of speakers, a monitor, a MIDI keyboard and a computer equipped with Reason and Ableton and eventually starts broadcasting it in real time on Soundcloud. Pushed by his friends, he sends demos to Laurent Garnier who immediately responds: Garnier plays a track on his radio show, It is What It Is, on Le Mouv. Madben's name begins to grow and he teams up with Brest festival Astropolis, a French electronic institution, before launching his own label.

Now numerous releases and three albums into his career (two solo productions and one collaboration as Trunkline with Yann Lean), Madben is a steady pair of hands both behind the decks in clubs such as Berghain (Berlin), Printworks (London), Awakenings and De Marktkantne (Amsterdam) or as a producer on labels such as Astropolis, Maceo Plex's Ellum, Skryptom Records, Fedele's Obscura and Berlin based Mobilee.

Following last summer's "We Hit Drums EP" alongside Kosme, Madben continues his alliance with EPM, highlighting that techno not only needs clubland raw power but also that all important groove.

Kick-starting with a rattling break, "Groove On" builds into a club busting roof-raiser, complete with strings, stabs and a party call to arms! "Celebration" wraps itself around a melody that is sonically stamped with Motor City DNA throughout, whilst "My Groovy Animoog" toughens the beat with dark industrial undertones that echo '90s European techno. Closing out we have the hypnotic crunch of "Don’t Mess With My G", where sinister beats meet the darker side of the Windy City.

Living in the shadows between techno and house, "Groove On" draws from Detroit, Chicago and rave culture with equal measure. The very essence of Madben.

To kick off the autumn season, Duro Label presents a masterful collaboration from St. Petersburg’s Radial Gaze and Munich’s Dominik Marz. Together, they present the "We Can Feel It" EP, a three-track odyssey that merges mesmerizing global influences with a propulsive, dancefloor-ready spirit.

Known for his genre-bending and geographically diverse sound, Radial Gaze brings his unique vision to the EP. He’s previously left his mark on esteemed labels like TAU, Feines Tier, and Hard Fist. Meanwhile, Dominik Marz, returns to Duro after a string of highly-praised releases on Innervisions, Exit Strategy, and Belters. Together, they create a sonic fusion that is both an injection of fresh energy and a testament to their combined artistry. 

The journey begins with the title track, "We Can Feel It", a secret weapon for the dancefloor. It’s an energetic cut driven by a solid drum foundation, where a schizophrenic melodic line dances wildly over a comforting piano, creating an exhilarating push-and-pull of pure euphoria. 

Next, "Simple As You" takes the EP into more trancer territories. A booming bassline and mantric synthesizers create a sense of vast space, as chopped-up vocals and acidic synths shimmer in the distance. 

The release concludes with "Moonface", a beautiful, melancholic, and energetic track. Melted melodies and ghostly synthesizers float over a solid beat that constantly pushes you forward. It’s a hypnotic and evocative cut that perfectly balances emotional depth with a relentless forward momentum.

Berlin’s J Choirboy debuts on Rekids Special Projects with the ‘Mammoth’ EP, landing 17th October 2025. The title track taps into the sort of big, muscular club tools that defined Rekids label head Radio Slave’s early career, with fizzing chords hanging above booming kicks and a constant tension built to dominate dance floors. ‘Loam’ is just as heavy, this time with bright chords bouncing oﬀ gritty, rolling drums for full-body workouts in the club. ‘Stacco’ sinks into grainy territory with static-charged synths and a swinging kick, perfect for warm-ups or 5 a.m. hypnosis. Closing cut ‘The Miller’ layers liquid chords and perfectly syncopated drums into a vast wall of warm, enveloping Dub.

Rooted in choral traditions but driven by a love for Techno and early rave, J Choirboy channels both musical depth and raw energy into his productions. Now based in Berlin, he has previously released on La Mission, now returning with a strong debut for RSPX via the ‘Mammoth’ EP, which has already won support from the likes of DJ Rolando, Elisa Bee, and Truncate.

Michael Mayer became obsessed with Erik Luebs, an American producer based in Osaka, after stumbling upon his independently released music on Bandcamp. Luebs’ talent for creating high-energy, minimalist acid techno with impeccable, futuristic sound design swiftly earned him a regular place in Mayer’s sets. It was only a matter of time before Luebs made his debut on Kompakt’s Speicher series with this highly versatile EP. ‘Riding the Blade’ opens the four-track EP, showcasing Luebs’ signature punchy psychedelia. ‘Scarlet Viscera’ features a sleek, minimal groove that is reminiscent of the genre’s heyday in the 2000s. ‘Transform Into Glass’ emanates blissful Detroit vibes, and the EP closes with a real bang: ‘Sucked Through Tube’ creates a frenzy on the dance floor without the need for a single kick drum. If you like your techno sexy and forward-thinking, there’s no way around the man from Osaka. Play it loud!

I decided at the beginning of the month that I was going to try to make as many tracks as I could that were inspired by horror movies or general horror type themes. I didn't get as many made as I  wanted. None-the-less, here are a few tracks I made over the month of October 2025. I am also including a previous track that fits the theme.
