Numbers 10
NYC – November 29 
London – December 7
Glasgow – December 13 

Portland was produced by our good friend Dave Clark aka Sparky and was the first record we released in 2002, about a year before the first ever Numbers party took place.

Originally recorded live to tape using an MMT8, a Microwave II, and an ESi32 in the summer of 1998, it was released on an old label of ours named Stuffrecords and formed part of a somewhat rambling compilation called STUFF001. We hastily stuck this record out without any proper distribution, because at the time we didn’t know any better. Despite this, the record did pretty well, selling 500 copies to a few select stores who had faith in what we were doing.

Fast forward a year or so to when Numbers kicked off and the track became one of the first bonafide anthems in the club. It was our tune and it would tear the roof off at any of our parties.

A couple of years later, we booked DJ Pete, aka 'Substance' to play. We’re talking about the record in the pub when he suddenly informs us that Ricardo Villalobos is crazy about it and even charted it. This was a deep, almost Drexciyan electro track and here was the king of crazy experimental minimal house music caning it in his DJ sets.

Not long after that night, the Numbers label was up and running and the idea to re-release Portland with a remix from Mr Villalobos was brought up almost as a kind of pipe-dream. Now in 2013, with a little help from Gerd Janson, it has finally happened. Recorded live in one take and clocking in at over 30 minutes long, it’s cited as an "experiment" by Ricardo. Designed to play at two speeds, at 33rpm it's almost like an early 90s Black Dog track stretched out to infinity, whilst at 45rpm, it’s a club-ready groover with an almost Dopplereffekt rhythm to it – the sort you could imagine sneaking into a DJ Assault or Godfather Ghettotech mix. Somehow, it also manages to be classic Villalobos.

To finish off the record Dave gave us two unheard tracks from those original Portland sessions in 1998. The malevolent electro of ‘Jigsaw’ would instantly have become another Numbers anthem if only Dave had let us hear it ten years ago, and closer track ‘Wilson St’ heads down an ambient route.

About Sparky
Dave’s a bit of a legend. In the early 90s he was a member of Glasgow Techno band State Of Flux who released on JD Twitch’s old label T&B Vinyl. Their first live show was supporting The Black Dog in 1992 at an old Glasgow venue called Industria, and they were also the support at the first ever Jeff Mills show in Glasgow. Later on Dave would release records under the name Truffle Club and regularly collaborated with JD Twitch on remixes under the Optimo (Espacio) banner. Dave and his brother Craig also released an ep under the name ‘Music At Nite’ for former Numbers label Wireblock. Most recently, he’s been working under the name LUMA for Optimo Trax.

MARK HENNING| Blackout
[SOMA384]

A. Blackout
B. Jack & Jill

Mark Henning makes a welcome return to Soma with yet more jaw dropping tracks with the Blackout EP. Going back to his analogue roots, Mark has crafted two tough floor burners laden with his signature funked up basslines and crafty drum programming.

Title track Blackout rocks in with melted vocal samples over that ominous 909 kick, building slowly with a lush pad, the perfect intro to what will follow…Mark brings a perfectly sequenced bassline that growls yet remains as funky as can be. Layers of hi hats work their way as the bassline mutates in the background. Mark keeps this this track deep as the pad once again glides in giving a bit of Motor City feel. This is real machine funk.

On Jack & Jill Henning keeps it stripped back but no less driving. This is a full on analogue monster. A melodic synth line backed by straight up 909 drums work this track into a frenzy with complete ease. With the mere opening of filters and simplistic use of the revered drum machine Mark has built a track that will whip any dance floor up.

A firm favourite at Soma, Mark always delivers the good and with this EP of machine fuelled techno he looks to set Techno alight with his unique and quirky production.

Divine Fiction” is a hypnotic dive into the illusion of salvation. Fueled by relentless rhythms and ritualistic loops, it dismantles the myth of a false messiah—where faith turns fiction, and divinity fractures. Dark, mechanical, and euphoric, this is techno as a reckoning.

MAURER is the 452nd guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

This mix captures the essence of MAURER’s sound — a vision of techno built on percussive drive and fluid motion, shifting between hypnotic cuts and melodic contrasts. Layered with textures, twisted synths and pulsating sequences, the set unfolds as an energetic journey crafted for the dancefloor yet rich in detail for deep listeners.

At its core, it’s about balance: the tension of hypnotic repetition against the release of melody, the raw pulse of percussion intertwined with moments of introspection. A narrative where every track contributes to a story of motion, intensity and connection with the underground.

MAURER — HATE Podcast 452

FORMS is the new live techno project from Brian Sanhaji and Monoloc,
two artists who have shaped Frankfurt’s uncompromising sound for more than two decades.

FORMS – EMPHAZE
A sonic triptych built for dark rooms and focused minds.
With EMPHAZE, FORMS present a tightly sculpted three-track EP that explores the raw architecture of modern techno,uncompromising, immersive, and physically direct.
Each track reveals a different facet of the duo's sound while staying true to their shared aesthetic: minimal structure, detailed execution, and relentless drive.
Emphaze unfolds gradually through pulsing sub bass, washed-out textures, and subtle modulations. The result is a hypnotic, tension-filled piece,perfectly suited for the late hours. Tibanna follows with a precision-built, mechanical groove, dry, focused, and relentlessly pushing forward.
Surrender in Depth closes the EP in a meditative low-end framework, where tonal shifts and rhythmic layering sustain a deep, restrained momentum.
EMPHAZE captures the essence of FORMS: reduced, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in the moment. Techno without ornaments - just structure, pressure, and pulse.
