It starts solar and euphoric, then goes deep inside for some cathartic nocturnal stomping. Hope to see you soon under the disco-ball! Fat hug

Blossom Festival 2022 | Hive Stage

The Prog-Tech Sessions Vol 1

We knew this track was a sure-fire winner as soon as we heard it (many months ago), and needless to say, some things are worth the wait. This tune has been dominating in Luis' live sets (including a memorable performance at Boom 2016 on the Alchemy Stage), and we're very excited to share it with the rest of the world. With an immediately captivating bass groove, memorable melodic hooks,  and expertly-crafted percussion work, 'Euphoria' is a prime example of Luis' brand of dance floor oriented progressive techno.

Euphoria

Luis M - Euphoria (Original Mix)

MYDÄ and Jossie Telch: two titans of the progressive & psychedelic underground unite for a memorable collaborative effort in 'Atomicus'. This phenomenal dance floor rocker is the end-result of Jossie Telch's multiple trips to Canada last year (for Totem Festival and a Techgnosis Label Party), after having spent some quality time in MYDA's Toronto studio. We hope you enjoy this one! 

Artwork and design: Amir Daana
Mastering: Martin Vice

Release date: January 16 (Bandcamp), Q2 2018 (Beatport, iTunes)

The prog-tech train doesn't stop with the title track, as 'Abra Ka Dabra' is yet another example of how deftly Sonic Jay can move between the psychedelic and progressive techno styles. The hypnotic groove in this one is undeniable!

Sonic Jay - Abra Ka Dabra (Original Mix) **PREVIEW**

We are absolutely thrilled to be revisiting one of the most iconic label tracks of the calendar year - the instant-classic 'Brainchild' by label OG's Luis M and MYDÄ gets the deluxe remix treatment from a host of top-shelf talents in Jossie Telch, Matt Dwellers, AXON and Biomass! Spanning wide across the Techgnosis sonic spectrum, three fresh interpretations elevate what is already an apex predator-level original track to new heights, setting the stage for yet another stellar scene release.

The marquee original track, having been written a year ago in MYDÄ's Toronto-based studio, is a super example of sonic synergy, combining the grit and chunk of the preeminent prog-tech duo's unique style with Luis M's groovy tech rhythms and production know-how. Tried and tested on the dance floors as well as over lockdown live-streams, this can't miss tune has already cemented itself as a bar-setting example of proper progressive, psychedelic techno. 

Mexico-based progressive master Jossie Telch is no stranger to working with the original artists - we last saw this superstar producer giving the remix treatment to Luis M's 'Euphoria' back in 2016, and who can forget his 'track-of-the-year' collaboration with MYDÄ, 'Atomicus' from 2018? Well, we are happy to welcome him back into the Techgnosis fold as he puts his singularly unique, dance floor-focused spin on the whole affair.

Last summer we debuted EPs from 2 incredibly talented Australian artists in Biomass and AXON, so it is with great excitement that we unveil their phenomenal collaborative remix of 'Brainchild'. The deeper, more introspective side of the original track is explored as the producers from down under beckon the listener to dive into a hypnotic state, and get lost in the music. This is an absolute treasure of a track.

Lastly, we are pumped for the triumphant label return of the minimal tech maestro known as Matt Dwellers - this well-known purveyor of the melodic and hypnotic side of techno music brings his expertise to the affair, elevating this already killer single/EP to new heights. His signature weaponized, chunky tech style has been missed, however you can look forward to more from Dwellers on Techgnosis in the very near future. Stay tuned, true believers!

ALMA DEYA is a Prog-Tech and Midtempo live act from Vevey, Switzerland.

Daniel Leuenberger a.k.a. ALMA, was born in Brighton (UK). He grew up in the Swiss Alps and spent his teenage years in Chile. There, he had his first encounters with electronic dance music, at secret locations in downtown Santiago. In 1999, during a trip to Patagonia, he experienced his first outdoor Psytrance party, opening a whole new chapter in his life. Since the summer of 2008, Alma's sets combine solid grooves with a nature-loving, spiritual outlook on life.

In 2019 he co-founded Les Fines Herbes, an organic techno party crew in the french-speaking region of Switzerland, and in 2022 he joined forces with DEYA and started producing soulful Prog-Tech and Psy-Tech, giving birth to the live project ALMA DEYA.

Noémie Matthys a.k.a. DEYA is a long time raver and keyboard fairy since the age of 8. She composes uplifting yet introspective melodies, weaving together delicate textures, powerful basslines, and a mystical energy that invites the audience on an inner journey.

Over the last few years ALMA DEYA have performed in both intimate underground clubs and open-air festivals, crafting sonic journeys that evolve naturally from subtle minimalism to driving and transcendent grooves. Their recent performances at events such as SUTI Festival and Ozora Festival (Pumpui Stage) allowed them to share their unique soundscape with a community that embraces experimentation and connection.

After several releases on some of their favorite labels (Recovery Collective, Techgnosis, Mindscape, Baikal Nomads, Monada) they are hard at work in the studio, constantly refining their craft and dreaming of beautiful dancefloors around the world.

Founded in 2015, Techgnosis Records has continuously been one of the most influential forces in the psychedelic techno scene.
