Just over a year since its launch, Guy Gerber's RUMORS imprint continues to blend the world of music and art with a series of highly sought after releases and events. Following on from Guy & Puff Daddy’s remix EP of their stand out album track; ’Tourist Trap’, RUMORS welcomes Seth Troxler to the label with his debut, 'Evangelion'.

Scheduled for release on March 30th, 'Evangelion' follows Troxler's recent collaboration with Phil Moffa for their 'Rogue Music' EP, and also features a remix from Matt Jonson & Jesse Heartthrob - marking the label's sixth offering.

Delivering Seth's inimitable blueprint of boundary pushing techno, ‘Evangelion' leads with a hypnotic bassline that's topped with eerie bouts of spoken word and haunting piano keys - whilst Jonson & Siminski's remix softens the warped construction to provide a welcome dose of funk-induced techno.

With a shared passion for promoting authentic dance music - Seth and Guy have always been solid ambassadors for underground sounds that consistently change the musical landscape. 'Evangelion' finds a natural home in RUMORS and paves the way for another hugely successful year for the two innovators.

Guy Gerber & Miss Kittin -  Rumors On The Dancefloor (Part 1)

Alan Fitzpatrick makes a triumphant return to the scene-leading imprint this August. The typically bombastic three-tracker of explosive, crowd-moving techno opens with ‘Love Siren’ packed with all the power and punch required to knock over festival crowds as it systematically builds and drops, this is one for the big open air stages. ‘U Said U’ is a massively hyped track that has been the subject of huge fan-demand since it first featured on Beyer’s Drumcode Radio in January. ‘Rumours’ wraps things up in slightly more understated but non-the-less effective fashion with its drawn out, tension building intro mushrooming into a crescendo of sleazy chords and sparking melodies.

With our upcoming MGF031 we are more than ready to start the new year which will also mark the 10th anniversary of Musik Gewinnt Freunde and there's no better way to begin this very special moment for our family than to present you this "Various Artists" EP that along with well known members as Cosmic Cowboys and the Mexican Leo Leal will introduce you to three new great additions to the team as the Canadian duo "In2Deep", the Germans Soukie & Windish and last but not least another talented artist coming from Venice as ARG.O to close this stunning pack that perfectly represent the idea behind our label and the sound we love to release in our productions.

Hailing from Montreal, In2Deep touch the listener with their beautiful track "One". Its silky textures and hypnotic sounds introduce this wonderful journey we’re proposing to you on this brand new release.

Next there are Soukie & Windish, the two label heads from URSL, who debut their amazing "Transformation" with Musik Gewinnt Freunde to lead us on a different path that will take us to a darker side, however, still perfectly melting with its deep and breathtaking harmonies.

As our label name says, what we love to do is to bring together people from all over the world through the music. So this is what happened with Cosmic Cowboys from Italy and Leo Leal who has recently joined the family as well. The guys' contribution to this pack was "Citrine", a track that expresses a great new perspective of sound. Nico and Kaled's love for a more epic build featuring several layers of sound completes the sexiness that is essential in Leo's sound – creating something new that we really love.

To sum up this new adventure, we are happy to have ARG.O's amazing track named "Black Vision" which is the right thing for dark winter nights. It'll simply catch you right from the beginning and won't let you down to the very last second.

Italy’s fastest rising name in house and techno returns to the respected Drumcode imprint with this blistering new 4-track EP, ‘Climax’. Featuring a distinctive vocal sample crescending over a typically thumping bassline, opening lead track ‘Climax’ grows gradually with the introduction of a single synth note and skipping hi-hats. Two beatless breakdowns increase the pressure whilst a new synth melody is introduced in the second, making for a powerful ending as all the elements join together.

‘Boost’ starts out deep and dark, with a high-pitched call echoing over a determined beat. The track changes course mid-way through with the introduction of a bassy, low-pitched synth melody, helping ‘Boost’ evolve into a catchier, more playful track.

‘Spectre’, a no-nonsense closing piece featuring a jittering synth note, rattling hi-hats and a trademark tension-filled breakdown.
‘Over The Clouds’, as its name would suggest, is the gentlest of the four tracks. Filled with dusty textures over a rumbling bassline, twinkling synths move in waves before lower-pitched chords join, adding a real sense of depth to this production.

Overall, ‘Climax’ is an outstanding example of Faraone’s ear for detail as a producer: his experience as both a resident and touring DJ clearly feeds into his skill for manipulating tension in his productions like he does on the dancefloors. Having recently warmed up for Adam Beyer at Tenax, Marco Faraone’s relationship with the iconic label continues to grow.

Release Title: Black Walls
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT164
Release: 12.02.2016

Oliver Koletzki & Niko Schwind team up for a trip down the rabbit hole with “Black Walls”.

The title track fires off with a round of arpeggiated synths, a recurring pattern and focal point of the entire arrangement. Decked with sharp percussion and eerie synths, “Black Walls” unfolds like a downward spiral, in a mesmerizing and grave rhythm.

Reinier Zonneveld amplifies the depth of the track, by adding trance inducing layers. With the initial arpeggiated sequence at its core, Zonneveld infuses his own style of compact techno, reworking “Black Walls” into an entirely different rendition.

The closing track, although situated in the same deep and obscure registry, complements the raw power of the first two with the help of its smooth vocals. Paired with darker vocal pads and packing the same hypnotic rhythm, “My Vision” comes off as an imaginative melodic tech exploration.

Koletzki & Schwind – Black Walls (Reinier Zonneveld Remix) [Snippet]

Fennec & Wolf has put up an interstellar-deep-house-track and named it after 'Cassini', an unmanned spacecraft sent to Saturn. 
The producer, DJ and co-founder of Incroyable Music took the homage to the spaceship pretty seriously: he used atmosphere sounds of Saturn that Cassini recorded during its voyage through space and time. 
Fennec & Wolfs original sound imparts the feeling of participating in the travel through the atmosphere. A dance on Saturn with driving synth plays and a focussed rhythmic arrangement that keeps you drifting and turning.

Berlin-based Boy Next Door makes 'Cassini' a faster track with a more techy range of sounds but still builds tension that is terminated with a bass & synth hit like a supernova explosion.

Artist: Hidden Empire @hiddenempire, Boy Next Door @boy-next-door

Release: 2017-03-10

In the DJ booth Hidden Empire and Boy Next Door all bring their immersive sets, packing up heat and energy on the dancefloor. The same can be said for their productions, which are industrious club catalysts, as they show in their latest joint release consisting of a power-heavy four tracker. Hidden Empire kicks off affairs with Lost in Time, a resounding deep tech incursion centered around a throbbing bassline and swift percussive arrangements. The groove carves out space through alternating buzzing synths and a hellish vocal, creating an acid-tinged dungeon-like atmosphere. This seems to set the tone for the entire release, as Get Lost brings to a focus an equally murky ambiance, filled with voluminous elements and heavy synth pads. An ominous vocal enhances the overall gloomy mood adding suspense, while arpeggiated chords bring in a contrasting slice of warmth and light. Boy Next Door’s first offering comes in the form of Dael, a gradually unfolding marathon of a piece, dotted by zig-zagging synths on a backdrop of a fidgety, nervous bassline. The track evolves into a stripped down wavy synth cut, suitable for shifting up gears. Koba shows off BND’s systematic treatment of bangers featuring a tense bassline and anxious percussion. Using pounding drums and a dramatic rise, it eases into a cinematic construction with ample build ups and relentless loops. All in all, a set of intense dancefloor tools fit for late-night antics as well as transitioning swiftly into the after hours.

Hidden Empire – Get Lost [Snippet]

In  many  ways,  it’s  difficult  to  believe  Wehbba  only  dropped  his  first  full-length  EP  on  Drumcode  this  year.  Released  in  February,  the  four-tracker  ‘Eclipse’  was  a  monster  statement  piece  of  the  Brazilian’s  talents  and  followed  on  superbly  from  ‘Fake’,  his  contribution  to  last  year’s  A-Sides  Vol.6  –  inarguably  one  of  the  biggest  tracks  on  the  compilation.  With  the  confirmation  that  Wehbba  will  take  part  in  Drumcode’s  Off  Week  party  in  Barcelona,  followed  by  the  brand’s  takeover  of  Resistance  in  Ibiza,  it’s  indisputable  proof  that  his  crisp,  chord-driven  take  on  techno  has  become  a  vital  component  to  the  expansive  palette  of  sound  Adam  Beyer  has  drawn  for  the  label  in  2018  and  beyond.    

‘Catarse’  marks  the  rapid-fire  follow-up  from  the  prolific  producer.  Opening  with  the  eerie  ‘She  Lost  Control’,  Wehbba  says  he  took  inspiration  from  the  Joy  Division  track  of  almost  the  same  name  (‘She’s  Lost  Control’),  but  instead  of  crafting  the  dense  sonic  atmosphere  with  vocals,  he  employs  an  analogue  kick  drum  and  stealth-like  moog  bass  with  dramatic  results.  ‘Process’  follows,  a  cut  which  begun  as  a  cover  jam  of  Laurent  Garnier’s  ‘Crispy  Bacon’and  ends  up  incorporating  the  cut-up  vocals  of  legendary  minimal  composer  Steve  Reich,  who  is  one  of  Wehbba’s  chief  inspirators.  The  resulting  track  is  an  ice-cool  percussive  work  that’s  rich  in  dancefloor  functionalism.  The  title  track  will  befamiliar  to  many  who  follow  Drumcode  Radio,  a  goose-bump  inducing  highlight  of  Beyer’s  DCR392  at  Awakenings  in  Eindhoven,  ‘Catarse’  is  driven  by  a  memorable  melodic  riff  resplendent  in  90’s  techno  euphoria.  The  EP  concludes  with  the  terrific  ‘Mind  Awake’,  a  powerful  concoction  of  reverb  heavy  basslines  and  glitchy  effects,  that’s  been  thoroughly  road  tested  by  both  Beyer  and  Wehbba  and  kicks  like  a  rodeo  bull.

SPEKTRE’S WITHOUT WARNING RELEASES ON OCTOBER 26

Spektre (Drumcode / Respekt), one of Britain’s hottest techno duos, attacks the techno World with an unprecedented single!

“Without Warning” is Spektre’s case study on today’s Techno. Uncommon, speedy, dark and above all, trippy, it is a track that rewrites the rules on how a proper track should be.

Melancholic and dark, but precise and crisp at the same time -a typical Spektre characterstic- “Without Warning” is composed upon the concept of making a difference. Huge bass pads bring out melodies that move and travel the audience while on the same time spacey strings and groovy drum patterns generate the antithesis that makes the energy circulate in this excellent track’s veins.

Thomas Schumacher’s (Drumcode / Noir) approach is manifested upon pure energy. 
Advanced engineering and authentic inspiration meet, to create a perfectly blended dark-as-the-gates-of-the-underworld killer groove and fresh rhythmical elements, all mixed along to forge a track destined to stir bedrocks and definitely question their structural rigidity!

D-Deck (Alleanza / Phobiq) inserts his life experience in music-making into his remix and totally transforms the track, generating a new existence. This is a 4 AM track, definitely made to move large crowds. Rigorous and stern, yet driving and melodic, it’s based on a solid drum pattern that concludes to an epic buildup where all melodic elements join the harmony and add their own perspective to end-up in a huge drop.

Spektre, Thomas Schumacher and D-Deck are debuting in VOLTAGE Records.

Delivering once more a concoction of only the best and brightest talent joining Pursuit’s roster for another edition of Wild Cards. 

Opening things up with a stellar debut on Pursuit is Italian producer Black Odyssey with Antares. A melodic corcorker that did wonders in Rob Hes’ liveset on Tomorrowland. Speaking of Rob, the label’s head honcho has been digging deep into his studio and bringing us Winter. An out of the box groover combined with a filthy lead bringing it all together. 

Mega-talents Loco & Jam are back on Pursuit after a killer remix, this time with an original called Departure. A melodic piano concours which eventually erupts in only peak time galore that Loco & Jam can deliver. Dennis Apec is new to the family, this talent that Rob was able to spot very early on in his career, is bringing the goods for Pursuit like no other. Bring Me Home is again a bigroom pounder combining crazy synths and a thunderous beats destroying every sound system. 

We don’t know what Carlo Ruetz was drinking when he made Lexicon Rave, but we want in on it! A crazy combination of freaky synths that haunt you everywhere, combined with a hypnotising break eventually erupting in spiralling out of control destruction. Bageera is on closing duties and bringing really raw talent to the table. Man’s Problem is a hands-in-the-air endeavour building slowly the tension while eventually ensuing in absolute mayhem. This is Wild Cards.

Boxia Drops His Debut Album ‘A Night In The Life Of’ On Drumcode.

A musical portrait inspired by friends. Each track represents a personal memory.

Since breaking through in 2015, Boxia’s music has quickly progressed him into the upper echelons of underground dance music stardom. Quiet and unassuming by nature, his sound is drenched in transcendental atmosphere and evocative soundscapes; making it a perfect meeting place for the warehouse energy of Techno and the intelligent thoughtfulness of Progressive House. 

For all of us, clubbing and nightlife are a myriad of sights, sounds and experiences. With the concept of this album, Boxia has sketched some of the characters he’s met along the way. “I wanted this album to be as much about the people that I’ve met, as it is about me. People I talk to every day; people I only encountered once, and my life long companions.” He says.  

“Each track is inspired by my personal interactions with these people. The quiet but dedicated raver who never leaves their spot on the dance floor. The friend who disappears at every party but always turns up hours later with a huge smile on their face and an amazing story. The chance meeting with a complete stranger who shares your entire outlook on the world. Each track on this album sketches an audio portrait of these characters who have inspired me.”

Over the fourteen tracks, these ‘shared experiences’ take the form of warehouse stompers, melodic soundscapes and delicate, personal moments. More than just a collection of club tracks, ‘A Night In The Life Of’ lifts the lid on a producer with startling range and a razor sharp sonic palette, tapping into his own personal memories to create moments of incredible introspection. 

Take opener and title track ‘A Night In The Life Of’ for example - which marries pounding beats, sparse percussion and Trance-like synth work to form a detailed picture in the minds of its listeners. Boxia takes you on a unique, ultimately uplifting journey with each track utilising texture, tone and emotion. 

After six powerful and musically rich club tracks, the relative calm and broken beat stylings of ‘Give Love Always’ is perfectly placed, showcasing Boxia in melancholy reflection away from the bright lights and buzz of the main stage. Equally, the album’s closing track ‘Last Nightclub’ also benefits from a reflective stance.  

“I have shared experiences with such a diverse and wonderful crowd on both sides of the stage.” Boxia says, “I hope that in listening to this album, people will be able to see themselves, and their friends reflected in the tracks in the same way that I do - as each track aims to build an audio portrait of their identity.” 

Wildly entertaining, deeply personal while being equally personable, this is a perfect snapshot of an artist at time in his life where he’s ultimately at ease with himself and the music he currently excels at making.

Timmo returns to Terminal M to release his highly anticipated debut album ‘Starlight’ this September. 
 
Since making his debut in 2008, Bulgarian talent Valeri Ivanov, aka Timmo, has swiftly become a name of note within the current techno landscape following with a string of releases via some of the biggest labels in the scene, from Adam Beyer’s Drumcode and of course Monika Kruse’s Terminal M imprint. Having emerged as a core figure for the label following his collaboration ‘Violet’ with Kruse back in May, and leading straight on from his ‘Starlight’ EP which featured three tracks from the extensive body of work in early June, the imprint will now welcome the arrival of his eleven-track LP ‘Starlight’, featuring a combination of club-focused tracks alongside more emotive soundscapes. 
 
“’Starlight’ is my debut album, and I’m very happy it’s going to be out on Monika Kruse’s Terminal M. It took me more than a year to finish and create it as an experience, the way I felt it should be. Starting with more melodic tracks, going through more energetic and electric ones and finishing off with some acid. 
 
All 11 songs have been recorded in my home studio in Sofia, using a variety of synths and modules, some dating back to the early 80s like the Roland Juno 60, and some being brand new or improved versions of classic synthesizers such as the Sequential Prophet 6.” - Timmo 
 
Opening via the ominous ‘Leaving Earth’ and flowing straight into the action via the acid laced ‘New Beginning’, the eleven-track project swiftly takes its form as a balance of driving, uncompromising productions accented by subtle interludes and moments  of  space.  Take  for  example  the  bubbling  ‘Solar’  and  the  warping  ‘Belle  Epoque’,  which  keep  the  focus  on oscillating synths and regimented percussion, whilst title cut ‘Starlight’ takes control and ups the energy via soaring lead synths and frenzied electrics. 
 
Next up, ‘Sonic Voyage’ reveals yet another twisting journey as Timmo merges ever-evolving leads with restrained vocal snippets, whilst ‘Vortex’ and ‘Spacefreaks’ add further energy via a medley of hefty kicks and menacing bass patterns throughout. Entering into the final three cuts, ‘Rhythm X’ brings forth further infectious 303-lines, tripped out vocal hooks and slick hats to head further into the peak time, whilst the darker ‘Connect’ throws its hat into the mix via a combination of commanding female vocals and choppy bass licks, before arriving at closing track ‘Interspace’ which lowers the tempo and switches the emphasis towards bright synth melodies and calming breaks featuring rich soundscapes to punctuate the project in emphatic fashion. 
 
Channeling main room sonics whilst intertwining rich melodies and softer tones throughout, ‘Starlight’ sees the unveiling of Timmo’s most complete body of work as he continues his ascent as one of his genres leading talents via the ever-impressing Terminal M.
