Having kick-started 2021 in emphatic fashion with POPOF’s huge four-track Skylighter EP just a few weeks ago, France’s most revered techno imprint, FORM Music, now unveils its second huge release of the year with the announcement of Stiv Hey’s hard-hitting Flash EP. 

Known for his unique blend of mind-bending techno and dark, driving soundscapes, Stiv Hey’s FORM Music debut follows a plethora of releases on some of the biggest labels in techno over the past few years, including Octopus Recordings, Sci+Tec, Tronic, Set About, Prospect Records, Respekt Recordings and Unrilis.

Inaugurating the three-part package with the juggernaut title track Flash, the hotly-tipped Milanese talent combines deep chugging basslines, industrial synths and trippy vocal hooks to devastating effect, as he takes the listener on an intense peak-time journey through the striking six-minute opener.

Up next, Stiv offers an impressive follow up to the relentless opener with Outlaws. Exploring an altogether different timbre to Flash, acidic sub-bass and tension-laden synths provide the perfect backbone to the middle order as the Italian techno titan delivers another exquisite, multi-textured cut, perfect for those early-hours warehouse moments. 

Last but by no means least, and completing the release with the imposing final track Resonance, Stiv Hey continues to further demonstrate his incredibly diverse production credentials, as coursing bass and frenetic percussion combine in perfect accord to wrap a truly impressive label debut and another remarkable EP on POPOF’s FORM Music.

Regularly lauded by artists such as Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Sven Vath and Marco Carola, Stiv Hey’s productions are characterized by an accurate mix of fixed basslines, refined dark groove and hypnotizing sounds. With critically acclaimed releases on some of the biggest and best techno labels over the course of his ten-year career, Stiv Hey’s raw passion and talent also extends to his stunning live performances, where he can be found gracing the DJ booths of countless internationally renowned venues including Fire London, TakeOff Milano, Ker Barcelona, Brancaleone Rome, Bass:ment Stockholm and Pacha Mumbai to name a few. 

Stiv Hey – Flash EP will be released on Friday, April 23.

FORM Music is a label founded in 2009 by French producer POPOF in order to gather both new and established talented artists and to promote artistic open-mindedness by assembling various genres across the electronic music spectrum.

August the 13th meet a Berlin-based artist and producer - Ignacio Arfeli to deliver his three-tracks release to CODEX Recordings!
"The creation of these release was inspired by listening to some Deadmau5 tracks during quarantine here in Berlin. I used a few sounds from this ''old'' progressive house with Serum and Diva plus a vocal track ''In My Heart'' which I wanted to combine some mainstream vocal vibes with techno."
Enjoy!

Gain Records launches a brand new compilation with:
"We Are What We Play – A Techno Statement" Vol. 1, a bold declaration of sound and identity. Across a curated selection of tracks from emerging and established producers, this release captures the essence of the label’s vision: functional grooves, hypnotic structures, peak time beats and raw emotional tension.

Each contribution stands on its own, yet collectively they form a coherent sonic language—tight low-end pressure, evolving textures, and percussive focus shaped for club precision. There’s no filler, no compromise—only techno in its most distilled and intentional form.

We Are What We Play isn’t just a collection. It’s a manifesto.
