Blazing newcomer Henri Bergmann makes her full EP debut on Watergate Records with the captivating ‘Mind Control’ EP.
 
Building a buzz via impressive releases on her label Automatik, the Londoner has picked up support from everyone from Dixon, Solomun and Maceo Plex. Indeed, mention the Dodi Palese Remix remix of her track ‘Protection’ to any clued-up melodic house fan and you’re likely to be met with a blissed-out response, so beloved was the cut, which also ended up in Tale of Clubs’ top 10 for 2021.
 
Her maiden voyage on the Oberbaumbrücke home label is a tour de force of chugging house that encompasses new wave, electro and progressive elements, with a strong cast of collaborators and remixes along the way.
 
Pushing herself creatively during the lockdown, this EP is the first time we’ve heard Henri utilise her voice on her own productions, and the resulting work is a treat. The title track is a team-up with Biesmans who brings his distinct retro sound signature to the track, while Henri’s vox elevates it to another level. ‘Our Time Has Come’ is a punchy dancefloor gem propelled by her own vocals and a classy psychedelic synth line. ‘We Just Keep On Going’ brings bags of robotic soul to the table, as Henri’s husband Wennink takes to the vocoder, alongside a mystical lead melody. Stephan Jolk returns to the label following his excellent ‘Freedom’ EP in April, re-working ‘Mind Control’ into a muscular weapon. Meanwhile Echonomist, who is notable for his appearance on WhoMadeWho’s Watergate 26 compilation, also takes his hand to the title track, re-fashioning it into a tough bass-driven electro cut that’s beautiful and brain-scrambling in equal doses.

The on-form Dear Deer label looks to Rafael Cerato for a brand new single that features Aves Volare and comes with a Sasha Carassi Remix.

Cerato is an artist with a deserving reputation as one of the underground's finest. He shows that again here with Perpetual, a hugely detailed techno tune with scintillating synth work and raw percussion. It's a sizzling peak time track with the sort of energy that locks in the floor and plenty of twists and turns. The Sasha Carassi Remix then strips things back to a more muscular groove with tense synth layers piled up over the top and is sure to make its mark in the club.

This is a superb two-track package on Dear Deer once again.

Our label takes part in supporting Ukraine, using the link below you can donate to the needs of volunteers and the army of Ukraine! Also, part of the money from this release would be spent on charity by our label!

Hot on the heels of her latest release for Stil vor Talent, "Beide Alleine", SKALA returns to us with her anticipated followup "Any Reason Why". A decisively singular voice in today's techno landscape, SKALA keeps on carving out her lane aside from typical club wares, injecting her floor-ready blends with a pop sensibility that infuses through all compartments of her sound, from EBM-derived muscularity to abstract ethereality, via sequences of mind-expanding dreaminess and a louder-than-loud, industrial-adjacent punch that make her truly stand out from competition. 

Fusing a straight out martial groove with impeccably integrated piano chords painstakingly drilling their way across thick strata of raucous drum processing and layered machine thunder, the hair-raising "Any Reason Why" featuring Dominique Fricot's velvety vocals encapsulates the greater part of SKALA's signature synthesis of heart-rending melodicism and profuse amplitude of energy, continually counterbalancing force with scope, ruggedness with nuance. Support track "Dare" follows a similar course as it ushers us in the midst of a spiralling synth-feast tweaked to brooding effect, swells of modulated keys weaving their tortuous chassis alongside grim subs and aggro bass salvos to shape a monster DJ tool of a tune.

Second chapter on the way towards the anticipated release of their third studio album on Stil vor Talent, "Momentum", here comes Hidden Empire's second single, "Last Call". Tapping in the duo's trademark seam of EBM-laced techno bound for hi-impact dancefloor hustle and further far-reaching, cross-dimensional escapology, this second instalment delivers a serious amount of craggy electro reliefs to surf and synth-splattered jack to sync your brainwaves to.

Whereas the lead number "Last Call" has us journeying to straight out Moroder-esque territories, flush with the aptly configured palette of fuzzy space disco bass, fast-paced Italo churn and vocodized talk for good measure, the second track "Avalanche" opts for a more brooding, deadlier approach. Cutting its path away from prying eyes, this one finds Hidden Empire pulling the stealth weaponry to absolute hypnotic effect - perfect for serious in-between peak time business with its thick, thriller-like tension, mist-shrouded atmosphere and surgical focus. One more to go until "Momentum" blasts its way across your woofers. Buckle your belt and brace for impact.

It’s been a rather prolific start to the year for Turkish producer Elif. Following the critically acclaimed release of her remix of Husa &amp; Zeyada’s A Little Fun on IAMHER at the beginning of February, the Barcelona-based talent now unveils her first full-length package of 2023, with the announcement of her mesmerising new three-track EP, Letting Go, on Stil Vor Talent.

Due for worldwide release on Friday, February 24, Letting Go marks Elif’s eagerly anticipated return to the long-standing German imprint, following her contributions to the Stil Vor Talent 300 VA back in 2021 with Juno and the label’s 15 Years VA compilation with Entanglement back in 2020. Kickstarting the EP with the arresting opener Let Go, Elif joins forces with German duo Stil &amp; Bense for an emphatic debut collaboration, as the three producers christen the EP with a sinister, underground juggernaut. Layers of industrial synths and intricate beats combine with rolling basslines and intermittent vocal drops and within seconds you’re locked in, riding the wavelengths until you reach the mind-bending breakdown. Next up, Elif lowers the intensity for a more playful second single, Sombre.
Created alongside long-time friend and recent production partner ,Gespona, the pair toy with melody, texture and tonality across the frisky seven-minute cut, cultivating a unique sonic palate that explores an array of minimal,
underground timbres. Last but by no means least is the resounding finale On My Own, as Elif takes the reigns for the aptly-titled closer. A dynamic solo offering delivered by an artist whose creativity in the studio seems to know no bounds, rolling grooves, shuffling rhythms and warped synthesizers shine front and centre, as Elif pulls out all the stops to conclude another extraordinary release on Stil Vor Talent.
Born and raised in the cultural hub of Istanbul, Turkish producer Elif is rapidly earning her rightful place amongst dance music’s elite. Laying claim to an abundance of internationally celebrated releases on the likes of Anjunadeep, Kindisch and Gardens of Babylon over the past few years, the prolific Barcelona-based talent has managed to carve out her own unique sonic path since emerging onto the scene in 2019, and is rapidly making a name for herself as one of the most exciting, in-demand artists in electronic music today.

Now a seasoned regular at some of the most prestigious festivals and events the world over, her consummate calmness in the booth is a stark contrast to the frenzy she kicks up on the other side. With a trademark sound of flowing melodic floor fillers perfectly translating her raw emotion and intention, Elif pulls her audiences between hypnotic drum patterns, intricate arps, thumping kicks and driving bass lines; her selections both thought provoking and timeless. In the studio and behind the decks, Elif’s talents are clear for all to see and hear and her rapid rise to global acclaim is so rightly deserved. As much of a storyteller as she is an artist, this is only just the beginning for Elif.
