The word hypnosis gets thrown around a lot. We don’t use it lightly.

The well seasoned Tokyoite presents 6 originals in this list that tick all the boxes for an altered state of consciousness: long interlocking grooves, suspended in mercurial harmony as seen in “Varuna” and “Interplanetary”, heightened focus and concentration in the broken, escalating rhythm of “Orcus” and the low-pH levels of “Quaoar”. Ultimately seen off by the elegant mesmerism of “Edgeworth’s” cascading snares and looping vocal chant, and the ever shifting balance of “Albion” and it’s unnerving ambience.

A release deeply invested in spatial exploration, but is it the milky way, or a deep neural network we’re looking at?

Spiralling endlessly, Saku Niamh’s angular, edgy beat science makes a perfect match for our 57th outing. Setting off with a nod to golden-era intelligent drum and bass on “soul talk”, piling up the angst on the quasi-industrial hammering of “sick”, and pushing out lysergic, IDM-techno hybrids on “circling” and “melting”. Niamh’s music hints its origins in deeply personal plights through buzzing, sharp sound design, fantastically rounded off with the lethargy of an aptly titled “peace in me”.

Sungate welcomes Samuel Wallner with Wisconsin Romantic, a 4-track suite of raw elegance and understated power.

Tracing to the geographical breeding ground of Techno, and operating in the shadows of fogged-out memory, Wallner crafts a language that whispers more than it speaks. Opening with “Communicate”, a skeletal transmission pulses with emotional interference, while “Romanticism” dives into rounded deepchord dub transmissions carved into rhythm.

“My Own Fog” meanders through celestial atmosphere, a vaporous reverie anchored by perfectly measured percussion. “Og Status” closes the EP with militant poise, pacing itself through echoic play, dubby, brooding, and tightly wound.

Wisconsin Romantic is a slow-burning elegy for distance, disconnection, and romantic dissonance, functional on the floor, but haunted by the industrial ghosts of the coldest America.

Samuel Wallner - Wisconsin Romantic EP [SNG058D] (Snippets)

Sayne and Escalated Edits have known each other for quite some years already. Escalated Edits is the new alias of Remy Unger, who recently released a powerful EP on Ben Sims' esteemed Hardgroove label. Joining that momentum is Sayne, the fresh techno moniker of Nuno Dos Santos.

Their latest joint EP for Sungate came to life during a creative retreat in a secluded house surrounded by nature. They chose to isolate themselves to fully focus on music, and to unwind. Over the course of their stay, the duo crafted four dynamic tracks that now form the essence of this release.

Through 4 club-focused originals, the duo hone in on precise harmonic stasis, entrancing minimalism, and a resulting groove larger than the sum of its parts.

Deeply tipped for those in search for the essence of techno, the contents of this EP are a surefire floor burner at all hours, on stages of all sizes.

Raytek  returns to Sungate with Alphabet City, a four-track release of lean, percussive techno rooted in American tradition and built for utility.

"Lights Above" opens with tightly programmed toms and dry, disciplined groove. It moves with intent, holding tension without overreaching. "Alphabet City" strips things back even further. Sharp drum work, subtle distortion, and a loop-driven structure that keeps the pressure steady. "Loisaida" leans into rhythm. Every hit is measured, every sound functional. No excess, just forward motion. "Familiar Place" closes with dubbed out elements and a deeper realm. Still direct, still floor-oriented, but with a touch more space around the edges.

Clean, efficient, and unrelenting. Alphabet City is pure drum science from a producer who knows exactly where to cut.

After a stunning live set at Orbits Festival last month, the Italian duo Hiver offers us a new journey, part of a big compilation soon to come on Just This. 

The track is an evolving techno anthem - almost trancy - tinted of subtle acid touches. In two words: Hiver style. We love it.
