Big tunes call for big remixes: Catz 'n Dogz return to last year's massive collaborations with Madrid-based queer artist Megane Mercury with two premiership remixers: Riva Starr and Truncate.

Each artist taking the subversive sentiments and playful provocations of 'Toma' into their own hands, the remixes all flip new perspectives and grooves into the originals while retaining their original mischievous spirit.

Riva Starr takes on 'Toma'. Ploughing us down with his signature concrete beats, Riva takes Megane's voice to whole new levels, highlighting the tones and delivery as a rhythmic device that worms into your head for days and days.

Last but definitely not least, Truncate turns 'Toma' inside out with a turbo-charged techno twist. Unrelenting, peaktime slammage; Truncate reminds us of the spirit of true timeless techno that's ridiculously good fun to mix and even more fun to get lost inside on the dancefloor.

Big remixes call for big reactions: let us know what you're feeling.

Toma (Truncate Remix) [feat. Megane Mercury]

For nearly a decade, okocz has honed in on his own unique sound and essence in Cincinnati's techno underground under the alias djpk. Through this journey of experimenting with different genres and sonic identities, his vision for the dancefloor experiences he wants to create were solidified when he began producing during the pandemic.

okocz, a combination of the Polish words for "eye" and "surround," represents a fresh beginning with a renewed sense of intent and purpose. Drawing influences from Detroit, the Midwest underground scene, and New York, the East Lagged EP inaugurates this new chapter with three original dubby tracks primed for varying dancefloor atmospheres and a high-energy remix from Echo Locations alumni 23.4.

Riccardo De Polo - Ascension - COR12177

The epochal energy of "Ascension" captivated us from the very first moment, making it an ideal intro track. With its cinematic soundtrack reminiscent of "Vangelis", Italian producer Riccardo De Polo has crafted a sublimely ethereal experience that transports listeners into the vast expanse of space. As stars and planets drift by, the music beckons us to explore further, to surrender ourselves to the moment. The low strings serve as a booster until the rocket engine roars to life and the spaceship disappears into another galaxy.

Subsequently the polyrhythmic sequence of "Wahnstimmung" spirals abstractly far below the cerebral cortex. The driving bass drum, paired with shakers and percussion, propels the composition forward at a steady pace. The tension intensifies, painting a picture of liquid metal pouring into a melting pot. Pure, stripped-down techno as we know it from its origins.

"Inception" hypnotically takes you into a deep state of trance, engulfing you in a tribe's energy. It’s truly a classic Cocoon sound that has its very own place in Sven's sets. The vigor is palpable, the shimmering sequence will make the dust visibly glow above the open-air dance floors while the air begins to shimmer. Noisy snare drums heat the narrowed arrangement to the absolute boiling point. This is the energy we have been looking for!

Monoloc | Gipson EP
[SOMA427D]

1. Gipson
2. Cupel 

Soma welcome Techno behemoth Monoloc for his label debut with two dark, brooding Techno tracks in his inimitable style with the ‘Gipson EP’. Monoloc was born in 1980 in Frankfurt am Main. He first got in touch with the booming electronic music scene of this Techno metropolis at the age of 16 and soon bought his first set of records. Since then, his life has revolved around his ultimate goal; manifestation of his musical vision in the form of dj sets as well as his very own productions.

Title track Gipson kicks off with deep, pumping subs and kicks with a slowing evolving atmosphere creating great tension through the body of the track. Monoloc subtly pulls back the throttle only to launch back it with bold, crashing percussion. Most definitely one for the more moody dance floor.

On the flip, Cupel starts off a little lighter but defiantly delivers a punch. Muted kicks and atmosphere provide the backdrop while delayed synths trip out over the top. Monoloc picks up the pace ever so slightly as skipping hi hats given the track more urgency before ethereal pads glisten through the heart.

An exciting debut from a true master of Techno

Artist: Scan 7
Title: 'Black Highway (Mixed By Blake Baxter)'
Label: Tresor Records
Cat. #: TRESOR057X
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 29th November, 2024
Pre order: https://album.link/darkterritory

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Scan 7' gem on 'Tresor Records'.

Patience is a virtue well-rewarded in techno; finding the right groove to build on then holding your nerve long enough to pay off the wait at the optimum moment is a much more skillful endeavour than it would seem for such a minimalistic style.
And few display this talent better than Detroit originals Scan 7.

Part of the hallowed Underground Resistance family, Scan 7 first broke out in the mid- 90s with a series of jacking machine funk 12”s that showcased their savvy for self- control - a faculty they have demonstrated in releases year-on-year since.

Highlighting this continuous font of vitality, Tresor records has returned to the source and is proud to announce the reissue of Scan 7’s debut LP, Dark Territory.

First unleashed on the label in 1996, the album has been remastered from the original DATs by Mike Grinser, augmenting already powerful tracks such as the snake-like, tea- sing Unusual Channel (mixed by the master Blake Baxter), and the harder-edged VII resulting in music that will, without doubt, provoke an enhanced response when the pressure is finally released.

Repressed on vinyl with (slightly) updated artwork, these tracks still sound like a blueprint for the future, testament to the prescience and assurance Scan 7’s leader, Trackmaster Lou, clearly had when writing “I hope you enjoy my records in the phuture to come” in the sleeve notes nearly 30 years ago.

"After a short delay, Cleric invites Wrong Assessment for the next release on the label."

Wrong Assessment - Uncinate

Coming from the Constant Black family but distinctly committed to the evergreen sound of disco, Cardiology is a label committed to club music with heart and soul. First up on this label is Earl (Yann Polewka & Evenn), who wastes no time in setting the mood with "The Fantasy", a tastefully funked up house joint with French Touch leanings. "No You Don't" brings the disco to the fore even more, but not at the expense of hard-pumping beats and a killer diva lick or two. "No Speed Limit" is tough and pounding, which makes the sliced up samples dig in all the deeper - you could totally imagine DJ Bone juggling this one to death. "Strictly Real" takes things even further with a spaced out breakbeat speckled bumper lavished with gorgeous string shots - a curious blend that works like a dream.

Our pick is "No Speed Limit", an ever-pounding infinity loop groover is well entitled its name. Our recommendation for sure – go buy the record!
