Nicolas Bougaïeff - Recursive 4

Everyday felt the same, there was little variation in the tasks and activities that filled their time. Spontaneity was a non-existent idea - repetition ruled their every move. It had become such a normal way of living that now they didn't know any different, any alternate options or changes to their routine through everything into disarray. They'd given up fighting it, repeating patterns would forever be their reality.

Having made a mark with his debut LP last year on Kneaded Pains, Fossil Archive now returns to his own eponymous label for a new solo EP, Pattern Repeat. Made up of four tracks of celestial acid, emotive techno and hypnotic trips for the dance floor, the release is a taster of all the things Fossil Archive does best.

For the title track he teams up with Kiara Scuro's ZaaZaa who provides ethereal vocals that lift the track into the heavens. This isn't the first time the pair have joined forces with Fossil Archive and Sub Club's Stevie Cox bringing the singer, producer and DJ on board for their recent collaborative EP for Hammer's Remmah imprint.

FOLUAL  -  Code (Phutek Extended Remix)

“Alle Tanzen (German Mix)” by Jeffrey Lulanaj is a pulsating techno banger that ignites the dancefloor with its raw, hypnotic energy. Clocking in at 4:41, this track, released on August 8, 2025, via TuneCore, delivers a relentless 130 BPM groove in B Major, perfectly crafted for late-night club sessions. Lulanaj, an American DJ and producer known for his gritty, immersive soundscapes, weaves driving basslines with crisp, rhythmic percussion and hypnotic synth stabs, creating a sonic journey that’s both intense and infectious. The track’s raw, deep techno vibe captures the essence of Berlin’s underground scene, making it impossible to stand still—when this drops, everybody dances.

Tensal – Extra Inertia EP
KYN006

Mastered by Neel @ EnissLab Studios, Rome
Release date: 24/03/17, vinyl + digital
Artwork by Christopher Honeywell
Distributed by N.E.W.S.

New versions of Tensal’s ‘Opposite Inertia’ EP, with a remake of his own and contributions from Mike Parker and Pangaea. 

One the most distinctive artists in techno, Mike Parker, combines his signature, modulated bassline and sharp claps with the off-kilter rhythm of ‘Inertia 1’. Tensal’s remake of ‘Inertia 2’ is direct, peak-time gear. The synth line is kept front and centre, the beat is heavy and expertly arranged. Pangaea, of Hessle Audio, switches up the broken rhythm of ‘Inertia 3’ and adds the kind of unusual touches that make his records stand out.

Mastered by Giuseppe Tillieci aka Neel @ EnissLab Studio, Rome. Pressed at at Optimal Media. Packaged in a house sleeve. All artwork designed by Christopher Honeywell.
