New Techno

Always nice to expand the kraftek family of artists as we welcome German producer Shadym to the fold. 2 heavy tracks with instant floor appeal for those pockets around the world that will manage to be the first to welcome techno fans back with public events. Usually working within the hard techno genre, Shadym's reduced tempo here manages to maintain all the power of his harder productions within a more cosmic framework. Incredible EP from one of techno's rising stars.

Premiere: Shadym - Constructor

You wait 3 years for a new Chicago Loop track on Respekt, then 4 turn up at the same time!  "A Night at the Fairground" is a real cross-section of the Chicago Loop palette, from the relentless raviness of "Shifting Dimensions", through the melancholic melodies of "Tokyo Calling" to the creamy chords of the title track. 
Alongside these three brand new tracks, there is a bonus re-write of 2015's "Motives and Thoughts"

Premiere: Chicago Loop - A Night At The Fairground

Troma & PERS1 return to Canadian imprint Aquaregia Records this June with four melodic techno cuts entitled ‘Kaede’ EP.
Troma & PERS1 began their creative journey in the small seaside town of Granville in northwestern France. As conveyed through their raw acid compositions, the impeccable chemistry of the duo stems from their close relationship as brothers growing up in the tight-knit commune. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of the sea fringed by the rocky landscapes of the Normandy coast, their music is a crafted concoction of hypnotic sounds, bold melodies, and breath-taking basslines. Troma & PERS1’s productions and live-sets alike seek to hypnotize with a balance between consciousness and delirium, light and darkness in their evocative creations. Their ‘Kaede’ EP sees the duo team back up with the Aquaregia family following their three previous releases on the label over the last few years.
Troma & PERS1 explore a range of styles on this EP, from hypnotic techno to breakbeat, all with the common thread of acid. Title track ‘Kaede’ kicks off the EP with gentle synth flutters, graceful melodies and echoing drums before ‘Samara’ continues with euphoric 303s, cinematic pads that sit harmoniously underneath the resounding kick drums.
On the flip, ‘Crimson Breath’ lays focus on hypnotic soundscapes, dreamy chord progression, and blissful moods that captivate you effortlessly until ‘Autumn Moon’ delivers arpeggiating modulations, emotional hooks and breezy fx with heavenly undertones. The EP is accompanied by a breaky 808 version of ‘Autumn Moon’ with icy high-hats and angelic leads.

For RSPKT193 we welcome a new face to the label: Rebel Boy. 

'The Ties That Bind Us' is an atmospheric slice of big-room techno which effortlessly glides between seismic kicks, drifting arpeggios and opiated breakbeats, then back again to great effect. 'Strange Pulse' takes a less melodic, but equally musical approach with sci-fi growls married to a killer reese hook.

Thai techno ambassador Nakadia joins the kraftek family with her absolutely massive single: The Red Queen. While the Berlin-based queen of positivity has garnered the support of the usual techno heavyweights, The Red Queen stands as a definitive statement of her production prowess. A driving low end, lush emotional pads, and some absolutely showstopping moments made this one of the releases we were most excited about but were forced to delay until live shows were possible again as this is most certainly a track that needs to be heard on a proper system to appreciate its visceral power. We proudly present, Nakadia's The Red Queen
