After the devastating earthquakes affecting Turkey and Syria, Istanbul based Techno brand RX has teamed up with artists globally to release an exclusive compilation in order to help the people in need.

37 of the hottest names of the current techno scene have donated a brand new unsigned track, where all the sales and streaming funds will be directed to NGOs to provide support and assistance to earthquake victims both in Turkey and Syria.

We are grateful for the global unity of the techno scene for such an important cause.

Nørbak - Agualusa (Original Mix) [RX Recordings]

Fabrizio Lapiana returns to his Attic Music label for more well-crafted techno trips, signing his third EP of the year, this time with a remix from renowned sonic sculptor Donato Dozzy.

The cinematic 'Plenilunio' is an ambitious track with a real sense of narrative. A growling bassline builds through wispy sci-fi melodies and smeared pads until kick drums arrive and you take off through the cosmos. The deft details bring the rubbery groove to life as percussion brings more texture and drive so that you end up somewhere very different from where you started. Then comes 'Riflessi' which explores more driving and dynamic moods from the off: the supple drums and rolling kicks lock you in as minimal synth modulations ripple endlessly across the face of the track. It's fluid yet forceful, a deep techno adventure with psychedelic colours forever raining down. 
Remixer and Spazio Disponibile co-founder Donato Dozzy has already assured his legacy. His signature sound is uniquely deep and well crafted with meticulous ambient details and elongated grooves that melt the mind whether working solo or as part of Voices From the Lake. He flips 'Plenilunio' into a kinetic broken beat beauty that flutters like a manic butterfly. Flapping kicks and rugged loops bring the energy while the original's gorgeous melodies twinkle up top like a distant star. 
This is another high-class and cosmic techno exploration from Attic Music.

ATTIC027 | Fabrizio Lapiana: Plenilunio (Incl. Donato Dozzy Rework)

What are the differences and similarities between human and artificial sound, between oscillations generated by vocal cords and synthesizer voices, voltage amplified by speakers? On Silencio, his latest album for Tresor Records, Moritz von Oswald works with a 16-voice choir to explore this concept. 

Drawing from the ensemble works of long-standing inspirations Edgard Var&egrave;se, Gy&ouml;rgy Ligeti and Iannis Xenakis, von Oswald and Vocalconsort Berlin delve into the space between sounds, creating a deeply textured collection that shifts between light &amp; ethereal and dark &amp; dissonant. 

As masterfully demonstrated in the early work of von Oswald and Mark Ernestus' influential Basic Channel project, repetition and reduction are key elements here, much in the tradition of techno and minimalism. The vast dynamism of the human voice adds to the profound weight of electronics while offering up a rhythmic source and sonic noise palette unexplored in von Oswald's repertoire. In Silencio, von Oswald dredges a dank murk, pulling clouds over a distant pulse. It hangs, ready to take on new forms. 

The compositions were written in von Oswald's Berlin studio on classic synthesizers, such as the EMS VCS3 &amp; AKS, Prophet V, Oberheim 4-Voice and the Moog Model 15. These abstract recordings were transcribed to sheet music for choir by Berlin-based Finnish composer and pianist, Jarkko Riihim&auml;ki and performed by Vocalconsort Berlin in &Ouml;lberg church in the city's Kreuzberg district, only few metres down the road from where Dubplates &amp; Mastering and Hard Wax opened their doors for music enthusiasts for many years so long. 

The recordings of the choral versions were then incorporated into the synthesized parts of the album and brought into anew electronic context; in Silencio, the focus is not on using one means to imitate the other, but to sonically discuss the tensions and harmonies between the two worlds and create a dialogue between them. 

The relationship between von Oswald and Tresor Records goes back thirty years, all the way to Blake Baxter's Dream Sequence in 1991 - which von Oswald engineered alongside Thomas Fehlmann. The collaboration with Fehlmann lived on, seeing the duo team up as 3MB with Eddie Fowlkes or Juan Atkins. More recently, the Detroit-Berlin connection continued as Juan Atkins &amp; Moritz von Oswald present Borderland. 

For von Oswald, Tresor Records and also the participating guest musicians of the choir, this release brings together audiences from other musical areas, cross-pollinating; Silencio is an album that stands for itself beyond the musical genre boundaries.

FAGGOTRY #28 - Skvald

Sheriffen was born in 1897. When he was 25 he was working at limestone quarry in Malmö and thats where he got his name from his colleagues who thought he looked like a girl (she) and thought he had "rizz" (riff in swedish). One evening he was working hard, pushing himself to the limit as always. When suddenly some kind of entity appeared in the deep mines and told him to step forward. It was Dj Jesus. He told Sheriffen he was chosen for a mission to enrich Malmös underground techno scene 100 years from now. Sheriffen had no choice, lives were at stake. 

In 2023 the local techno crew Kenopsia were smoking and drinking outside their studio at ngbg street. From outta nowhere a bright light was shown upon them and from that light Dj Jesus and an unconscious naked handsome guy appeared. Dj Jesus gave them the most important task to guide Sheriffen in this modern world. 

And so it began.

❝A través de mis mezclas busco expresar un sonido rítmico, profundo y pesado. Me gusta llevar el set hacia la oscuridad cargándolo con más capas de elementos a medida que se va desarrollando. Intento llegar a ese especie de trance en la que te mete el techno al ser repetitivo, una conexión con el presente. Si bien los tracks que selecciono son en general más hipnóticos, no me cierro a otros géneros siempre y cuando me permitan trasmitir la idea que percibo. Siento que particularmente en este set pude reflejar al 100% mi sonido, espero que lo disfruten❞
