Aussie techno innovator Alpharisc returns to Mutual Rytm for a second standout EP.

Shane Yates, aka Alpharisc, has been living and breathing techno for over 30 years. He first began producing in the mid-90s and has amassed a fine hardware collection that lends his sounds a raw, rugged feel. After breaking through with the Wetmusik party and label collective, he has let his music do the talking and isn’t afraid of colouring it with a hint of nostalgia. Previous material has come via several notable labels over the years, but his most recent outings have been on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint, with his solo EP ‘Ram Face’ from 2023 becoming an underground favourite alongside a fine outing as part of the label’s ‘Federation Of Rytm II’ and ‘Federation Of Rytm III’ compilations. Once again, he returns in style, uncovering an impactful selection of gems across his new ‘Remain Seated’ EP.

The opener ‘Peace Be With You’ is a straight-up techno weapon with urgent synth flashes peeling off the groove like a police siren. The drums hit hard in true Alpharisc style before ‘Hail’ builds on that with a more hard-edge groove topped with frosty waves of white noise that electrify the dance floor. ‘Remain Seated’ brings a hint of trance-leaning energy with its bright sheets of synth lighting up the driving drums and saw-tooth bass loops. Next, ‘Look At This’ is another brilliantly forceful techno sound with slamming drums and rusty synth loops, layering melancholic pads up top and adding a cerebral edge, while closer ‘In Your Mind’ is from the Jeff Mills school of synth-laced and serene deep techno with lush pads radiating cosmic light. As a bonus, digital-only cut ‘Expedition’ brings some backlit celestial synth work to a rubbery and pummelling drum pattern for pure techno escapism.

Alpharisc ‘Remain Seated’ EP lands via Mutual Rytm on 8th November 2024.

ANNĒ & SERA J return for the second edition of their Symbiosis series on Mutual Rytm.

ANNĒ, known for potent techno on the likes of Soma and Hardgroove, and Nechto and Life In Patterns associate Sera J, have had standout years that have seen them put out a stream of essential club tracks. They are partners in both life and music, and the first volume of ‘Symbiosis’ on SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint was their first release together. Delivering an honest representation of their innermost feelings, having also contributed to the label's ‘Federation Of Rytm III’ VA in February, this new six-track EP (plus bonus cuts) presents a ‘mature and refined connection between their souls’.

The second instalment of 'Symbiosis' reflects not only their deep personal connection, but also their collaborative synergy as musical peers with the same goals. The EP captures the essence of their mutual artistic journey and showcases the strength of their bond both in life and through their shared creative vision - to create a storyline through sounds coming from their souls and convey a narrative that many listeners may find relatable.

SERA J kicks off with the lithe and melodically elegant techno of ‘Your Soul Is Art’ which will have both heart and heels dancing. ‘Illusions’ is a more heavy and dubby cut with paired back grooves and pulsing synths, while ‘Glacial Pace’ is an urgent deep techno roller with turbocharged stabs and huge icy hi hats locking you into a trance.

ANNĒ steps up on the B-side with ‘Floating Waves’ exploring physical, chunky drum funk and raw synth textures. ‘Planetary Dust’ is a dark and moody astral techno journey to the stars, before ‘Sweet Seventeen’ brings a more melodic cut with a sense of hope and joy in the bright pads that shimmer above the glitchy grooves.

Both artists also offer two digital bonus cuts with SERA J's ‘Syncrosonix’ and ‘Space Velocity’ delivering perfectly reduced minimal techno monsters, while ANNĒ’s ‘Gentle Loop’ and ‘Starburst’ are interplanetary trips with widescreen cosmic synths.

ANNĒ & SERA J 'Symbiosis II’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 13th December 2024 in both vinyl & digital formats.

Planetary Dust

Premiere: ANNĒ - Planetary Dust [MR030]

Macedonian artist Stojche kicks off Mutual Rytm X’s 2025 schedule with his blistering new EP, ‘Stomping Ground’.

Stojche is an exciting DJ and producer from Skopje, Macedonia, who is currently based in Madrid. He heads up his Tangible Assets imprint and has been making waves in the electronic underground for over 20 years. His music takes inspiration from the classic sounds of Detroit and dub techno, and in 2024, he impressed with his Metaphor EP on F.U.S.E. Following on from his superb contribution to Mutual Rytm’s ‘Federation of Rytm II’ compilation, here, he now serves up his first EP of the year with a first outing on X, the sister label of SHDW’s Mutual Rytm, with ‘Stomping Ground’.

This EP opens up with the powerful ‘Stomping Ground’, a scintillating blend of tightly programmed kicks and reverberating percussive lines. The textured percussion shimmers over the racing beats and cannot fail to sweep dancers off their feet. ‘Oberheim’ is another high-class, high-impact sound with muted melodies thinking over the twisting and turning drums and bass which never let up and ooze warm machine soul. ‘Consequence’ keeps the pressure on with tight drums and raw percussive layers softened by smeared dub chords. Digital bonus ‘The Vault’ shuts down with thumping kicks and rave-ready synth stabs that will erupt on peak-time floors.

Stojche’ Stomping Ground’ drops via Mutual Rytm X on 24th January 2025 as a limited 10” vinyl release.

Stomping Ground

Premiere: Stojche - Stomping Ground [MRX004]

Bit of a harder mix from the get-go. Some old tracks (early 2020's so not actually old) and some new. In need of some new tracks similar to the ones in this compilation. Feel free to send me some recommendations.
Cheers :)

German duo Glaskin make their full EP debut on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint.

Glaskin is the alias of two brothers, Jonathan and Ferdinand, based in Munich. The pair have emerged as key figures in the city’s electronic music scene as longtime residents of the renowned Blitz Club, standing out as homegrown talents amongst its vibrant electronic landscape. Bringing a unique, forward-thinking techno style, as evidenced by their contributions to Mutual Rytm’s Federation Of Rytm II and III compilations in previous years, they now mark a new chapter and open 2025 in style with their debut 12” on the label, ‘Inertia Of Motion’. Each cut on the EP has been handcrafted with analogue gear, reflecting their distinctive artistic and sonic vision. The release is a direct outcome of the creative process behind their live set, which has become an integral part of the duo’s identity and shows a natural evolution of their singular sound.

‘Hush Up’ kicks things off with deep, rubbery and rolling techno rhythms. The drums are stripped back and laced with pulsing synth patterns and spoken word snippets that add a freaky edge. ‘Double Tap’ ups the anti with classic, pumping deep techno with smart filters adding movement to the track as urgent leads hurry onwards. ‘Inertia’ brings a more anxious atmosphere with tightly coiled drums and perc and eerie bell sounds ring out over the fat, twisted bassline. The brilliant ‘Tank’ brings mind-melting loopy techno with dubby chords and textured leads warming their way between the beats to great effect, while ‘Motion’ is suspenseful techno that locks you into a high-speed groove peppered with thumping hits and kicks. Last of all, digital bonus ‘Blushed Blue’ explores a moody, minimal, late- night techno sound that is warm, stylish and hypnotic to close the show.

Glaskin ‘Inertia of Motion’ EP drops via Mutual Rytm on 7th February 2025.
