RELEASE DATE 20/02/2025

Sometimes we have dreamed of having a legendary project in our label, and as you may probably know, dreams can become reality if you dream harder. Being part of the genesis of the Spanish techno scene since the beginning we have grown with several colleagues in this extensive trip. We admire profoundly all of those who started this sonic journey, but specially we love the solid careers of Groof and Daniel Erbe / Deepnaut. 

When techno was just an utopia Groof, Daniel and Hd Substance formed the seminal project Ballet Mecánico; now part of that spirit is reborn in the form of Brain Ballet, the new project from Groof and Deepnaut.

For this amazing sonic adventure they have shared studio time to give birth to six cuts of modern and futuristic techno, for sure it has roots but it's nothing but innovation and looking forward.

Falling Objects start the release straight to the point with a solid rhythm basements, snappy stabs and floating atmospheres all melted in a constantly moving structure.

Aerobik introduces roughness and distortion, gymnastic sequences and a peak time approach setting the pace for Hold! that sounds like a timeless combination of the best Birmingham tradition and the Detroit soul.

Maderfaker wastes no time with obsessive vocal snippets, continuous sequences and straight to the bone percussive elements.

Desde Abajo is an incursion into dubby and liquid territories, precise chord action for the deepest moments in the club.

Paradoxically, the track called Intro close this masterpiece in style, using beatless drones and atmospheres to relax mind and body after this phrenetic odyssey.

Really looking forward to more to come from this pair of aces.

SUB_tl 089_Brain Ballet_01 EP

From Another Star’s first EP of 2025, Perimeter Four, creates an alliance between two techno forces spanning the globe while reaching for the cosmos.

Audio Resistance is an Italian techno producer whose catalogue stretches back to 2016, appearing on Lewis Fautzi’s Faut Section and Italian techno powerhouse Arts amongst others, and who heads his own Collapse imprint featuring work from noted producers and emerging names. Starting off his side with a nonstandard rhythmic frame, ‘Trappist’ uses the extra beats to build solidity, with reverberating zaps steadily circling around pillars of bass & kicks while uneasy atmospheric washes waft between the other elements. ‘Umami’ reels in the wayward impulses for more traditional techno structures, concentrating on dense, dystopian synth arrangements and subtle changes in percussion to drive it to a haunting conclusion.

A core artist on Richie Hawtin’s 2023 From Our Minds tour whose work has been featured on Glasgow legends Slam’s radio mix series and earned him a pair of EP releases on respected veteran Edit Select’s eponymous, long-running imprint, Declan James’ discography stretches back to 2016 and presents a futuristic, transfixing take on hypnotic, industrial and IDM-leaning techno, often found on his own Voidware label. More space-searching than Cronenbergian bloodbath, ‘Scanners’ applies classic techno ideas in a smooth arrangement for an outward-bound transmission. For the the EP’s title track, we find his dense, dark style in full effect, a murky low end and strange, intermittent echoed snare hits gradually building with bleeps and synth layers to a peak-time intensity even in its decidedly unsquared meter.
