“Man Worships Power” is the first in a small series of joint releases between Enemy Records and Emmanuel’s ARTS Records. Like rare split EPs from record labels in the past, each label takes control of one side of the vinyl for a double-sided release. With high mutual admiration between both labels, it was inevitable that a project like this was bound to happen. For this special occasion, we offer a full-sleeve cover with amazing photography from Sander Meisner.

On the first release, label owners Dustin Zahn and Emmanuel each picked two of their favorite tracks from each other. “Bark Like a Dog…” has already received regular play from Truncate and “Cargo” has been a secret weapon among DJs such as Zahn and Rodhad for the better part of a year.

ON007 comes courtesy of shadowy producer Cliche Morph. Hailing from Belarus, the young, low-profile artist created some buzz by his stand-out track "Overwhelming Fear" from last year's Semantica compilation Index. Part One. The immaculately produced ON007 proves that track wasn't a fluke and solidifies his status as a talent to keep an eye on. The Fanon Flowers remix is the cherry on top.

Following the release of the ‘Extraction’ and ‘Hydraulic Pressure’ 12”s earlier this year, Adventice – the incendiary collaboration between DJ Deep and Roman Poncet, returns to Tresor.

While taking the groove up quite a few notches, and as per its two predecessors, ‘Exsurgence’ unfolds in three different versions around a common theme.
The ‘Main Mix’ opens into hammering chords yet taking a delicate turn into an synth-heavy refrain.

On the flip, the ‘Reduced Mix’ follows the same composition while playful and cinematic as the use of hihats add a skip to your step and pick up the pace. The ‘Percussive Mix’ and its rapid drum patterns, exude a fragrance of vocals triggering endless soundscapes.

With this new three track single, DJ Deep and Roman Poncet deliver a fierce package, another warning for what is still to come for the duo. Techno.

Release date : 6 November 2015

When it comes to techno resumes, there aren't many artists who can match up with Robert Hood. This Detroit native has been releasing music since the early 90s, yet one could easily argue that he's currently doing some of this best work of his whole career, both with his solo work and the collaborative Floorplan project with his daughter Lyric. On May 22, he'll be releasing the 'Paradygm Shift' album via the Dekmantel label, and we premiered propulsive LP cut "I Am" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

INFO
 
Beginning of 2012 Phase caused quite a storm in techno’s landscape with the release of ‘Binary Opposition’. Both versions, “Process 1 &amp; 2”, fierce pieces of relentless yet deep techno, got on heavy rotation by Blawan, Ben Klock, Surgeon, Marcel Dettmann, Dave Clarke, to name a few.
 
A few months later, we present ‘Binary Opposition Reprocessed’. Assembling a remix package for this project wasn’t a difficult task, as all remixers were noted fans of the original tracks and supporters of Phase as an artist.

Released on Slater’s iconic ‘Freek Funk’ album on NovaMute - one of the most seminal techno albums of the 90s - ‘Love’ finally gets the remix treatment it deserves more than two decades after its initial release.

Marcel Dettmann provides two takes on Love, his ‘City’ remix features a cacophony of metallic rhythm, ebbing pads and plenty of swing whilst mantra-like vocals operate throughout, followed by the thudding ‘Black Glove’ remix with its murky tones and rattling effects.

Having initially released a pair of collaborative white labels featuring Lucy and Alex.Do over the last couple of years, Rødhåd’s imprint WSNWG notches up the pace with a vengeance in lieu of third instalment, foreshadowing another trio of joint EPs to be released throughout 2020 and including co-ops with Ø [Phase] (June), Daniel Avery (September) and Rene Wise (November). 

This also comes with the opening of a new chapter in Rødhåd’s career, as he will be starting to tour live in addition to his DJ sets, including dates at Berghain, Re-Textured Festival in London, Awakenings in Amsterdam; also joining forces with Sebastian Mullaert’s as part of his Circle Of Live project.

Borderless by essence, WSNWG’s aim is simple: showcase collaborations between Rødhåd and a variety of like-minded artists from various horizons, all recorded in the warm creative environment of his Berlin studio. ‘WSNWG003′ is the result of three sessions French techno stalwart Antigone and Rødhåd had in 2018 and 2019, with each of the tracks’ titles referring to the particular date it was made and recorded – understand ‘180702’ as 2nd of July 2018.

The journey starts off with the nostalgia-soaked, rolling punch of ‘180702.1’ – a number that justly epitomises both artists’ idiosyncrasies through a fine-tuned blender of near-classical emotional stir and gridlocked floor dynamics on a dubby tip. Delving further deep into post-industrial murk, its ‘.2’ counterpart casts a spell of veiled menace upon dancers and ravers through clanky assemblies of rattling drums, mirroring signals and brooding droney flights.
Flip it over and here’s ‘190709’ shifting the focus to breaks-heavy traction in powerful fashion. Riddled with mangled pep-talk samples, raucous machine howling and stuttering junglisms, the track spins in and out of orbit to entice the listener into a much physically demanding workout. Last but not least, no-nonsense floor-shredder ‘190904’ treats us to a brain-melting trip of fast-rotation synth loops, bleepy subs and fevered hi-hats that shall fit just right in the middle of any climactic buildup worthy of the name.
