Following 2019’s Inside, VC-118A returns to Delsin to present his fourth album, Spiritual Machines. It marks an exciting shift in focus for Samuel van Dijk as his flagship project nears a decade skirting the deeper ends of techno and electro.

Over the past two and half years, van Dijk forensically reviewed the key aspects of his production process as he dug down in search of the essence of the VC-118A sound. By creating his own complement of sample banks, software racks and devices, van Dijk was able to work with a hybridised analogue-digital system purely of his own making. Less in thrall to the strict rigours of techno and electro standards, Spiritual Machines’ 13 album tracks encompass more fluid shifts into abstract and downtempo, dub-inflected realms, without losing sight of the elements that have made VC-118A so compelling from the beginning.

Burnished machine soul, aqueous atmospherics and immaculate drum programming abound, but in the mellow, enveloping sound world of Spiritual Machines you can hear van Dijk guiding his music into a broader form that sounds at once more assured and more inspired.

This is the last album from Rico Puestel. After somehow three decades, Rico misses the cultural impact of Techno music as it has been and declares its spirits gone – at least personally. There's nothing more to tell. The self-consuming scene has reached its grotesque climax and left an empty shell of something once filled with so much passion, warmth, strength, heart and hope. The times just haven't changed – they lost their self-fulfilling purpose and authenticity.

Heavily influenced by prehistoric, tribal rhythms and trance-inducing dances within redundant structures, Techno music once had a natively true and unadulterated essence. A free spirit on the run. Rico found the right spot in time to gather all of his origins in Techno music for a last act of connecting to it. Being on an all-time high as a producer, he crafted the whole album on a course of twelve hours and relived all those deeply rooted moments and memories with Techno in fast motion. While the track titles are counting down from ten to zero in Esperanto, Rico clears up in peace and balance...

What once was, is now without form and void.
I left.
Everybody left.
Techno has left the building.

Farewell!

PREMIERE: Rico Puestel - sep

Hello, music aficionados, this is Roberto Ingram, your trusted guide through the sonic landscapes on the Decisive podcast series. For over a remarkable 11 years, we've been on a collective journey, exploring the diverse tapestry of music together. 

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome you to a special episode, a rendezvous with the extraordinary Kareem El Morr.

Kareem's story is one of rebellion turned passion, from the heart of Munich to the pulsating beats of "Club Rote Sonne." His techno beats, infused with deep, dark tones and a funky groove, have carved out a unique niche in the underground scene. But beyond the beats, Kareem's music is a refuge—a meditative escape and an unwavering passion.

As we dive into Episode 91 on this almost-Christmas, almost-New-Year occasion, Kareem is set to unveil his sonic prowess in an exclusive showcase. It's a celebration of talent, an immersion into the unconventional, and a testament to the power of sound.

Release number 7 on Posh End Music comes from Frankfurt-based producer Emil Seidel. With a string of widely played ghetto-infused releases under his Toni Moralez moniker and harder edged full-throttle techno as DJ Disrespect, the House Infusion EP sees him release his inner child as Toni M, and return to his house roots.

Alex Jones & Chris Spero, known to Hotflush followers as Dense & Pika, are entering the stage of another quality label – Hypercolour – with a 4-track Lynn EP, released at the end of this month.

UK’s techno duo delivers the familiar all-consuming monster vibe on the EP, which is the only way they seem to operate together. The track we’re proudly premiering today has the notes of 80′s mechanical sound, gently nods to Moderat’s “Bad Kingdom” and takes it further into the land of vintage synths, fog machine reverbs, and melodic industrial sounds.
