Catalogue: MR003

Genre: Electronic
Style: #Techno
Release date: June 17, 2022

SHDW & Obscure Shape offer up their first EP on new imprint Mutual Rytm as they drop five fresh and expansive techno cuts across their ‘Poetic Justice’ EP.

A duo that has ascended to become leading names within today’s techno landscape, SHDW & Obscure Shape continue to grow and evolve while shaping their own unique sound fusing classic influences with a modern touch. Their latest project saw the birth of Mutual Rytm – a new imprint launched in early 2022 set to showcase a deep dive into the duo’s musical roots via their own productions alongside material from the label’s close family of likeminded artists. Following the label’s opening multi-artist VA and the first solo EP from Berlin’s Lars Huismann, June welcomes the first solo instalment from the label founders themselves as they ready a killer five-tracker set to make an impact.

A1’ Turbulence’ sets the pace as the duo delve into nimble rhythms which ebb and flow effortlessly to reveal a hypnotic slice of modern techno permeated with classic, old school cues, while ‘Pulse’ takes up a darker aesthetic, keeping the energy high as metallic drum licks guide driving sub-bass and resonant stabs. On the Bside, title cut ‘Poetic Justice’ balances warping vocals with swinging percs amongst a layered, drum-laden kinetic workout, exemplifying the duo’s drive for combining and contrasting various shades of techno. Next up, ‘Set It Off’ welcomes the introduction of expansive melodies to offer an entrancing late-night cut, before turning to the unhurried grooves, salient hats and sweeping atmospherics of ‘Killing Me Softly’.

Digital bonus ‘Before Sunset’ once again delves into lighter, breezy territories while keeping the classic rolling techno touches throughout, shaping up the package with a powerful yet agile closing production.

SHDW & Obscure Shape ‘Poetic Justice’ EP drops via Mutual Rytm on 17th June 2022.

Artist: Chlär 
Title: Optimized Grooves
Label: Mutual Rytm
Catalogue: MR005
Format: 12” Vinyl + Digital 
Genre: Electronic
Style: #Techno
Release date: September 9, 2022

Tracklist: 
A1 - Early Morning Acceleration
A2 - Maximum Performance
A3 - Love Blaster
B1 - Night Genesis
B2 - Spirit Enhancer
DIGI - Synaptic Discussion

Emerging as artist of note for both now and the future, Chlär continues to craft and shape his sound as he curates his own high-octane approach to techno. Combining dynamic performances taking in three and four deck mixes with his own up front productions and his talents as a former mastering engineer, the Swiss talent has become a respected name amongst his peers. After releases on Lobster Theremin and his own Bipolar Disorder imprint, the Berlin-based DJ, producer and label boss heads to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s blooming label Mutual Rytm to deliver six precise and powerful cuts across his ‘Optimized Groove’ EP.

“As the names states, ‘Optimized grooves’ is a collection of tracks designed to match specific parts of the event/night. From ‘Night Genesis’ at the origin of the night through to tracks like ‘Maximum Performance’, a peak time bomb, and ‘Spirit Enhancer’ - an uplifting and warm production elevating individuals to higher labels after hours of spiritual connection’” - Chlär

Opener ‘Early Morning Acceleration’ sets the tone early and dives into a looping ride through slinking hats and bustling arrangements - combining classic influences with forward thinking touches to reveal a dynamic slice of techno. Next, ‘Maximum Performance’ fuses swelling low-ends, sharp percussion and vibrant leads, while ‘Love Blaster’ delivers an all out fiesta armed with rolling drums, sharp whistles and rich chords. On the flip, B1 ‘Night Genesis’ sees hypnotic loopy vocals balanced by tough kicks and luminous synths, before ‘Spirit Enhancer’ showcases a soulful trip as resonant electronics work around the track’s tunnelling groove. The digital EP comes with a bonus exclusive production in ‘Synaptic Discussion’, a euphoric and impactful closer which brings things to a close firmly in the peak time hours.

Artist: Chontane
Title: Sycamore EP
Label: Mutual Rytm
Catalogue: MR006
Format: 12” Vinyl + Digital 
Genre: Electronic
Style: #Techno
Release date: October 14, 2022

Tracklist: 
A1 - Preserved
A2 - Arakis
B1 - Sitka
B2 - Laboe
B3 - After Images
DIGI - In Roots

Chontane delivers six dynamic techno cuts via his ‘Sycamore’ EP on Mutual Rytm.

A firm fixture of the VOLTAGE roster and a rising name originating from Ukraine making an impact, Berlin-based DJ and producer Chontane is quickly finding his feet following a string of EPs via ARTS, Lobster Theremin and Rekids Special Projects. Already playing key clubs at the age of just 18, blurring the lines between techno, breaks and electro with his growing trademark sound, his performances across Berlin and beyond have captured the attention of many as he showcases his up-front and powerful sound. Next, he heads to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm imprint for the first time as he reveals his six-track ‘Sycamore’ EP.

Lead cut ‘Preserved’ is a rugged yet soulful opener, settling into a rolling groove guided by crisp hats and sharp stabs, while ‘Arakis’ propels into more eerie and menacing spheres as waling vocals emerge and disappear into the track’s relentless dynamic. Opening the B-side, ‘Sitka’ fuses jacking drums with playful flute interludes for a production set to get dancefloors moving, while ‘Laboe’ keeps things fiery as a peppy track which launches into fiesta mode. Closing the flip side, B3 ‘After Images’ reveals the most emotive production on the package, balancing the hard-hitting kicks with soulful vocals and hazy melodies for a classy slice of techno. Once again, digital purchasers are treated to an exclusive bonus with ‘In Roots’ raising the temperature and jumping right back into the action to serve up another energising anthem from a label and artist on the rise.

Lars Huismann returns to Mutual Rytm as he delivers the second instalment of his ‘Sounds From The Past’ trilogy on the label.

As SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm imprint continues to grow, it’s clear that the DJ and producer pairing have a strong vision for the label and are building an equally impressive roster of artists to form the imprint’s core family members. One of the early standouts is Lars Huismann, who arrived to deliver a selection of impactful offerings influenced by the ‘golden years’ of techno in his own unique style crafted by various production techniques. Having featured on the label’s opening VA and delivered the first EP for MR002, racking up a wealth of global support in the process, mid-November welcomes a return for the Berlin-based talent as he serves up six fresh cuts in his signature sound for ‘Sounds From The Past II’.

Opener ‘Sounds From The Past II’ is an action-packed title cut fusing typically slick rolling grooves with hazy melodies and atmospheric releases of tension, while ‘Propulsion’ takes cues from its title and sees precise drum shots, echoed background vocals and a tunnelling groove taking the track right into the thick of the action. On the flip, B1 ‘Loucura’ brings a percussive workout as frantic organic drums and resonant brass melodies bring a party to proceedings, with ‘Stroke’ and ‘Nudge’ both armed with tough kicks, zipping synths and more subtle vocal work.

Digital buyers get an extra exclusive in the form of ‘Dub Division’, welcoming a slightly more subdued but equally as impactful track guided by dubby chords and peppy hi-hats to close the show.

Title track 'Quasar' brings a tunnelling groove beneath floating melodies and zipping synths, before A2 'Asterion' combines dubby stabs and punchy kicks effortlessly. On the flip, 'Blazar' is a squelchy acid-led trip guided by sharp metallic hats, with 'Axial Inclination' utilising jittering drums and slinking bass to keep the energy levels rolling.

Clara' shapes up the physical package, a skipping, spirited and classy cut fusing hazy textures and crisp percussion, while digital exclusive 'SGR' sees things return to acid territories, with purchasers able to access a darker impactful take on techno.
