Tech 3

Artist: Invexis
Title: Odyssey
Label: Mutual Rytm
Release: 23rd December 2022 
Cat No: MR008
Format: Vinyl & Digital

SHDW & Obscure Shape invite Invexis for his first 12” in almost 20 years as the German live act and producer returns to Mutual Rytm for his impactful EP, ‘Odyssey’.

With an ethos of merging the past with the present and future, harnessing classic techno influences and shaping them into the sounds of tomorrow, SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm imprint has become an exciting home for rising talents of note and established artists to shine a spotlight on the genre. 

However, the next release on the label welcomes a long-awaited return from Georg Köhler, aka Invexis. Known for releases such as ‘Kalibreur’ on Salpeter Records and ‘Chiffre’ on Planet Rhythm Records, with further releases via Compound and Kazumi, the German talent crafted and shaped his own sound within the techno landscape in the early 2000s. Returning with his first EP release in close to two decades, late December welcomes a return to Mutual Rytm, following on from the inclusion of his track ‘Elektronenwind’ on the label’s ‘Federation Of Rytm I’ release, as he delivers a selection of dynamic, melodic and driving techno offerings across ‘Odyssey’.

‘Silhouette’ opens the package with authority as spirited drums and spiralling synths take hold of a twisting and turning lead effort, with ‘Non Return To Zero’ building a spiralling groove via frantic yet measured percussion, sweeping melodies and funky stabs. ‘Red Storm’ opens the B-side with a more up-front production combining harsher metallic tones with relentless drive and crashing hats, while ‘Body Impulse’ utilises dubby stabs and eerie atmospherics to balance light and dark. The title track ‘Odyssey’ closes the vinyl offering, with a euphoric and rapturous production harnessing resonant chords, looping drum grooves and elated leads to bring things to an impressive crescendo and deliver a record that will remain in the ears of listeners for a long time.

As always with the label, digital purchasers are treated to an exclusive track as Köhler combines zig-zagging grooves, refined synths and off-kilter glitches and bleeps across digital exclusive ‘Transition’.
Invexis ‘Odyssey’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 23rd December 2022.

May 2014, the first release on Amsterdam imprint Format appeared. It was Amsterdam techno figurehead Juan Sanchez under his JSSL guise. Since then, he pushed an enormous amount of local techno talent alongside an impressive list of icons such as Mike Parker, Matrixxman, Truncate and many more. Over the span of almost 30 releases Sanchez has created his own vibrant world of hard hitting, deep tripping techno and he plans on keep doing so.

For FR029 he invited rising techno star Lobster for a fresh collab EP. The Hague-based producer makes big moves representing Vault Sessions and his DJ appearances around the world. Here he joins Juan Sanchez for his Format label debut in the form of the Hybris Crux EP where both producers present their latest take on rolling techno including a rework of each other's tracks. It's a strong representation of what Format is about and how it keeps dancefloors moving with its excellent energetic style of pure techno.

BURTON-[DCT005]

Since the label’s inception, Crisis Of Man has consistently focused on looking to the future and nurturing emerging talent. Amsterdam’s Dan Berg is one such artist who enters the world of electronic music with his mighty  Sleepless Cities EP. Across seven distinct tracks, Dan showcases his vision of powerful techno, ranging from club-focused cuts to jungle and ambient. If each release of an artist is a statement, Dan is firmly staking his claim in the world of techno.

PAX LUNA
is the second EP created by the acclaimed Wrocław artist - Donija. Somewhere between Hometown and Stockholm, the member of Sound Experience and zerozero collective continues to showcase versatility following his successful debut ep "Halabarda" release on SPLOT.
The newest release is an extension of what you might have experienced as his artist’s style, accompanied by the long nordic night, that sets a whole lot of new emotions to the already known palette.
Across seven tracks, the narrative goes from carefree and dreamlike to cryptic and energetic, with a tribute to old rap-electronic collaboration of Donija and Yes Stanley, as well as two brilliant remixes from Warsaw finest Iffi and already mentioned founder of Peace Tomorrow - Yes Stanley.

SHDW presents ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno.

Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025.
The fourth edition of SHDW’s flagship ‘Federation Of Rytm’ VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/ producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether that's in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages.

"I’ve lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the label’s evolution and a glimpse of what’s next. ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish.” – SHDW.

Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ lands as a 4x12” vinyl package and digitally via Mutual Rytm on 24th October 2025.
