We Are The Brave front man Alan Fitzpatrick provides the labels next release with a typically incendiary two-tracker. Delving deep into his record collection for inspiration, the result is a brace of distinct, ear-catching cuts that tip a hat to by-gone times in rave culture and have returned big reactions from contemporary crowds all summer. 

The aptly titled “They All Called ‘Em Garys” combines droning hardcore hoovers and power piano with Fitzpatrick’s trademark heavy tech funk. While “Rhino” adopts a slung-back groove of resounding bass and tense pads overlaid with a knockout melody that bubbles away before unleashing its full chord progression through an unashamedly epic breakdown.

Making his debut on Drumcode in 2017 with his track ‘Fake’ featured on the A-Sides Vol 6 compilation, one of Brazil’s much loved exports Wehbba brings us his first full EP this February with ‘Eclipse’.

A no nonsense 4 track offering, and all thoroughly road tested by Adam, they have gained much support from longtime Drumcode fans. Eclipse, delivers a low end rumble along with a modulating synth line. Reigning high throughout the track, is the undeniably catchy and unique synth. Leaving this track one to be recognised on dancefloors all over the world.

‘Protocol’ doesn't turn down the pace, straight into a chugging hypnotic drive, this track leaks with attitude, along it’s eerie undertones.

Probably the most acid influenced track of the EP, ‘Glasswerk’ has a futuristic modular synth riff which thunders along a hypnotic bass line which flows nicely into ‘Framework’ to close out the EP. Its punchy and powerful kick sits alongside the cleverly crafted synth pattern, taking this track into a dark zone with a groovy element still resonant.

Burrows is back! Following last year's hit "All Your Dreams", Gary returns to Respekt with a worthy successor in "Burning". Fusing his trademark rave influences with uncompromising drums and a DnB-inspired break, Burning is pure fire.
The remix comes from Dave Sinner, who dials back the tempo and cranks up the groove for a wicked, percussive re-think.
As if those two weren't enough, Gary also provides the relentless "Reaper One" and the shuffling acid of "Can't Hold Back" to complete the package.

The third Realm Of Consciousness compilation on Tale Of Us’ Afterlife Recordings is the label’s most complete statement so far.

The four-vinyl opus opens with Tale Of Us’ now anthemic ‘Nova’, a high-impact and well-loved staple of their sets this year. Agents Of Time continue with the percussive rattle of ‘Paradigm’, before the first released collaboration between luminaries Recondite and Henrik Schwarz shines with understated melody.

Amongst Mind Against’s eerie masterpiece ‘Portal’ and impressive first appearances on Afterlife from Scuba (as SCB) and Steve Rachmad (as Sterac) are ethereal contributions from Fideles, Ovend and Øostil. UK techno veteran Edit Select channels the darker, hypnotic spirit of Afterlife with ‘Phase In’, setting up the sprawling, 14-minute epic from Luigi Tozzi and Antonio Ruscito.

To begin the compilation’s fourth disc, Konstantin Sibold & Kosme’s ‘Cyclone’ lifts the tone, leading into a more introspective sound from Hunter/Game on ‘Changing Weather’. Upcoming German talent Kevin De Vries follows with his infectious cut ‘Mágoa’ and Tone Depth ends the odyssey in mesmerising style with ‘Ibn Sina’.

Afterlife Recordings continues its focus on emerging talent with the first solo EP of Ae:ther (@aethernalmusic), following his collaboration with Mind Against on ‘Solaris’ and a track on the Realm Of Consciousness compilation.

 From the textured atmospherics, harmonies and innovative sound design, it’s clear Aether has found his voice already. Balanced between the powerful, emotive techno Afterlife is known for and more introspective experimentation, the three tracks share a tonal richness and patient headspace, lending themselves to the dreamy hours on the dancefloor.

Reform, the Tuscan techno duo, make a return to Etruria Beat to follow up the success of 2017’s ‘Checkmate’
EP, remixed by Amelie Lens and their recent EP on Second State with a huge new offering - Unconventional

Spaces. Reform present three fresh originals, backed by a massive rework from Etruria boss Luca Agnelli.

Unconventional Spaces is a melodic and timeless work, perfect for a magic sunrise closing set. Luca delivers a

heavier rework, creating a special atmosphere with powerful chords that drift back and forth.

Just This is characterised by a raw triple stab, a vocal laid down by the guys themselves and an emotional and

mysterious break. Closing the EP is Span, which is composed of bouncing tom samples, straight hats and a

moogy bass that develops throughout the arrangement, a perfect peaktime number and strong finalé.

Release date : 17/09 (v) - 05/10 (d)

TAB002 | Klaps - Kwijt EP (Incl. Hush & Sleep Remix)

Beatport exclusive release: 01/10/2018
All stores release: 

Tabulat introduces its second release by Belgian techno-prodigy Klaps, including a stellar remix by Hush & Sleep [Second State, Etruria Beat, Suara].

After being extensively supported by Pan-Pot on his debut track "Captivating", Klaps lands his first full release on our imprint. His "Kwijt EP" is a spotless representation of the bass-heavy and acid-flecked sound he stands for. 

The title track "Kwijt" immediately sets the tone for the sound that Klaps has to offer. This dark gem gets characterized by its penetrating sub-bass and metallic percussion on top. Short and steep mini-breaks keep the momentum on pace while the main break smashes into a dazzling crescendo. 

"Quak" is the second offering of the release. Klaps' signature sound of filthy acid comes through within this track and generates a fiercely hypnotizing vibe. Rumbling bass and greasy 303 are the main weapons of choice within this peak-time gem.

With recent outlets on Second State, Etruria Beat, Suara and Virgo, the rising Dutch duo Hush & Sleep is reaching the major ranks of the realm of contemporary techno. With an acid-heavy "Rave Remix" of the title track "Kwijt", these prospects contributed an essential addition to an already stellar EP.

The new release on Markantonio’s label AnalyticTrail is a collaboration between rising star Gaston Zani and veteran production duo Filterheadz.
Gaston Zani has been rapidly rising through the ranks of the techno elite following his music released on labels such as Tronic, Bitten, Set About and Phobiq. Before teaming up with the Filterheadz, he has also collaborated with the likes of Matt Sassari alongside his many solo tracks.
Filterheadz are best known to some for their classic track on Carl Cox’s Intec titled "Sunshine" which was made in collaboration with Tomaz. Alongside this underground anthem they have had a number of other hit techno tracks on imprints including Toolroom, Unity Records, Bedrock and 1605.
Each of the three tracks on this EP are dark and dance floor focused with heavy percussion and lots of energy. “Subconscious” has hints of euphoria, whilst “Mathematics” is led by old school chord stabs, and “Ridge” finishes things with ripples of acid.
