Lewis Fautzi, Nuklear Default | Turn
[Soma375d]

1.	Turn
2.	Anti-Cake
3.	Sinister
4.	Point

Soma welcome another name to its ever-growing roster in the form of Portuguese producer Lewis Fautzi who teams up with his own alias, Nuklear Default, to bring home 4 dark techno stompers. A main stay on the Portuguese techno scene, Lewis has been producing for some time now and his own brand of pulsing rhythms has earned him many fans throughout the techno community.

Title track ‘Turn’ launches this ep skywards with a ripping bass line that will tear speakers apart. Unrelenting drums whisk through you with peak time intensity as this powerful opener sears with non-stop energy.

Things take a deeper turn with ‘Anti-Cake’ as a slightly more subdued beat slowly filters in with hypnotic drums patterns and synths swirling calmly before bursting the track wide open. Only a short break in the track allows the listener a little respite as the deep sub bass bounces back in and the track continues to move at quite a pace.

‘Sinister’ is exactly what the name suggests. A dark, pulsing low end creeps around the base of this track while more rattling percussion keeps the momentum going. This is the perfect DJ tool that keeps its energy throughout.
  
‘Point’ closes the EP with an old school sound. Delayed synths filter in an out atop a rolling bass line and perfectly programmed drums. The synth hook tweeks over into the break giving way to an effective dance floor track.

This is a fantastic Soma debut from a young producer who surely has a bright future ahead of him

X-IZE presents its debut V/A compilation - Music For Strange Creatures.

Showcasing the diversity of electronic music, the label introduces a collection of nine tracks, each reflecting the independent character and approach of its creator. Melodic and rhythmic, tense and deep - these works set the tone for X-IZE direction and reveal its artistic vision.

This compilation is a statement, capturing the layered nature of the modern club scene. X-IZE begins its journey by offering not a linear path, but a kaleidoscope of genres, emotions, and states. At the heart of it all lies a deep love for rave as a unifying force.

When everything falls into place perfectly, often suggesting good luck or fate working in one's favor, in this case, it is the collaboration of long-time friend Antonio Ruscito and Luigi Tozzi, probably one of the best Italian artists out there. Memoir is a well-thought-out journey into their sound, and this is their debut.

Artist: Marteka Fair
Title: 'Frisson'
Label: VAST Recordings
Cat. #: VAST004
Format: Digital
Release: 15th August,​ ​2025
Pre order: https://weareallvast.bandcamp.com/music

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Marteka Fair' track remixed by JAK on 'Vast Recordings'.

As rich sonically as it is in social commentary, Marteka Fair’s latest techno EP is a perfect fit for the budding discography of VAST.

Marteka Fair is from North Carolina, and the American DJ and producer is a key part of the local scene co-creating Liminal Space, a live concert series with visual artist Fluxxss that merges sound and image into a shared, sensory environment. 
She has not only appeared on club and festival line-ups alongside Rrose, Rødhåd, DVS1, and Bloody Mary, but also lists releases on Berlin’s W133, Infra, and Maison Fauna, while being behind the A&R for VAST’s releases.

The Life After Internet EP consists of four tracks along with remixes by Bekkler and JAK. 
It draws inspiration from a time when the information revolution lay at our fingertips, promising what seemed at the time like a utopian frontier of human connection.


Rounding out the original singles appearing on the tracklist of the EP is “Frisson.” 
While markedly more melodic than the music preceding it, its arrangement meanders in a way that might sound random to the untrained ear. 
JAK expanded upon this complex emotional palette in his remix, spinning it into the lore of an exhilarating story.

Premiere: Marteka Fair - Frisson (JAK Remix) [VAST Recordings]

Berlin's Scheermann debuts on Mutual Rytm with deeply personal EP, ‘Viciosa’. 

Scheermann is at the heart of the Berlin underground as a DJ/producer, but also working behind the scenes at the Intakt Berlin vinyl pressing plant, where he first met Mutual Rytm founder SHDW. As a resident of the Lorem Ipsum party series, he delivers cultured and compelling grooves, and is also an active member of the Wesertekk collective - supporting and pushing club culture to the forefront in more rural areas. His music comes from a deeply personal place, never chasing hype or headlines, and is usually found at home on his own imprint, SAMMLER. This new EP marks his first appearance away from the label as he unveils a collection of records crafted over five years, with each track representing different moments in his life. 

‘Viciosa’ kicks off with paranoid vocals panning about as swinging, warehouse-ready drums pound heavily below. The gritty synth craft adds plenty of texture as filters build the vibe. ‘Placid Sin’ is even more intense with unresolved synths tripping you in a loopy state while coarse percussion and cantering drums march on. ‘Don't Care’ is a rave- ready cut that injects your soul with urgent synth energy over more minimal and moody drums. ‘Kano’ brings a more elastic rhythm with dubby undercurrents and sleek sonar pulses infusing it with mystery, while ‘Reika’ is a nimble cut with icy hi hats and curious synth notes layering in late night suspense. First digital bonus 'Resoclap' is a heavyweight swinger with dark, groaning voices, before the second digital bonus ‘Mizu’ provides a speedy and supple workout for body and mind. 

Scheermann ‘Viciosa’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 22nd August 2025.

We are delighted to present to you the very first Vinyl release of an in-house discovery, Rethe debut. It’s a breeze of fresh air of dynamics and Ideas, his debut shows how techno can be technical and functional, but at the same time impactful and filled with emotions. Petals contains 6 tracks, making this a mini LP, but we want to call this a full-length work engineered for DJs, each cut is studied to the core and created to be as functional as possible yet emotional. The record is already supported by Ben Klock, Stranger, and many other key players.

GTG SOLO 005 | Nihil – Deus Error EP
Out September 5th, 2025
Digital Only

There’s a certain kind of techno that doesn’t ask for attention… it takes hold and locks you in. Not with brute force, but with precision. No theatrics, no excess. Just pure pressure.

Deus Error is exactly that. Five cuts engineered for the kind of dancefloor where time dissolves and the only thing left is motion. Stripped to the bone. Pulsing with life. Every element serves a purpose: sine waves flicker like emergency lights, the groove is rigid but breathing, and somewhere deep beneath it all, there’s a sense of something breaking through.

This release is about timeless functionality. Control. Release. That moment at 6:42 a.m. when the kick’s still hammering and you’ve forgotten what came before and it doesn’t matter.

Nihil delivers techno the way it’s meant to be: honest, unrelenting, and built for the long night. GTG SOLO 005 doesn’t talk. It works.

I made these tracks last year, and they still feel right to me. Each one came from a different moment, but somehow they fit together. I’ve kept coming back to them, so it felt like the right time to let them go. Hope you enjoy.

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

Sebastian Mullaert is well known for his work as one half of the highly respected Swedish duo Minilogue, responsible for killer releases for the likes of Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels and Wagon Repair, alongside breathtaking live shows as a solo outfit as well as their joint live act with Matthew Jonson.

Working from the idilic setting of the mystical Swedish forest, Sebastian Mullaert has has been making serious waves on his solo artist journey, lending his signature hypnotic sound to labels like Mule Musiq, Drumcode, Minus, Kontra-Musik and Ovum. His one of a kind spellbinding live show is illuminating the world’s finest stages such as Panorama Bar - Berlin, Concrete - Paris, Fabric - London, Labyrinth Festival - Japan, Black Market - NYC to name a few and can be witnessed on his recent Boiler Room and XLR8R sessions. 

At nearly 13 tantric minutes long, ‘Windmaker’ bubbles and teases with freestyle keys with an almost Middle Eastern flavour, as Mullaert plays snake charmer to his machines, coaxing out deft melodies, airy cymbals and on point beats and percussion.  It’s a track to completely get lost in, crafted with fine sonics and a gloss that only an artist like Mullaert can achieve with ease.

The enigmatic Ukranian producer, Vakula, is drafted in to give a re-interpretation of ‘Windmaker’; edgy phased stabs puncture the minimal techno beat, bouncing and reverberating off the kick drum to create a glorious wall of dubby sound that compliments the original mix a treat.  Vakula has always impressed with his creative and original music for labels like Firecracker, Dekmantel and his own Leleka imprint, so it’s a privilege to have him remix on Hypercolour.

Relax your eyelids

Except being right here, right in this moment

Just be here
