A1 VRIL - Crystal Cell Energy

Under My Feet. unveils the first glimpse into Bleeding In Colour, the forthcoming release from London-based duo Torn Relics. “Mask Of Monarchy” is a commanding introduction to the record — a potent fusion of experimental noise, industrial techno, and folklore-fuelled narrative. True to Torn Relics' distinct voice, the track explores a dystopian ritualism through a rich and confrontational sonic lens. Drawing from ancient textures and future rhythms, “Mask Of Monarchy” sets the tone for a release that promises both chaos and catharsis.

“Mask Of Monarchy” is out digitally on August 1st, 2025, with the full album Bleeding In Colour to follow on September 5th, 2025, available in both digital and cassette formats.

Terence Fixmer Reissues Two Cult Techno Anthems on Red 10" Vinyl and Digital.

Techno pioneer Terence Fixmer re-releases two of his most iconic tracks — Electrostatic and Electric Vision — now remastered for a more contemporary and powerful sound, and pressed on a limited edition 10” red vinyl. 

Originally released on Gigolo Records in the late '90s and early 2000s, both tracks quickly became underground anthems. Played by legendary DJs such as Dave Clarke, Sven Väth, and many others, they were also named Tracks of the Year by renowned techno publications like Groove magazine. 

With these two groundbreaking cuts, Terence Fixmer helped open a bold new chapter in the history of techno — giving birth to Techno Body Music (TBM), a genre blending the raw, industrial force of EBM with the driving energy of techno. Electrostatic, in particular, is considered a foundational track of this hybrid style. 

Now regarded as true techno classics, Electrostatic and Electric Vision have stood the test of time and are still played regularly by DJs worldwide, continuing to energize dancefloors decades after their release. 

This is the first official repress in over 20 years, and the first time these two cult tracks appear together on one record — sharper, louder, and more essential than ever.

First released by Cazzo Film in 2001, ebo hill’s ‘Bonking Berlin Bastards’ has long achieved the status of an underground porn classic. Like the films of fellow Cazzo director Bruce LaBruce, hill’s vision was both ahead of its time and a playful distillation of 90s and early-2000s Berlin, following a group of squatters and punks as they fuck, party and stumble their way through the city at the turn of the millennium. Original soundtrack composed by AeoX and Rouage aka CNM.
