“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

The ODD / EVEN label project from Germany is headed up by established producer Andre Kronert. With contributions by top tier artists such as Jonas Kopp, Pfirter, NX1, Jeroen Search and Dimi Angélis amongst others, it is a label to keep a close eye on as it continues to break new ground with each EP.

Stepping in for his first EP on the imprint is Markus Suckut known for being one of the most consistent tastemakers in Techno today. With a who’s who of label appearances under his belt such as, Lucy’s Stroboscopic Artefacts, Len Faki’s Figure, Sven Väth’s Cocoon and Pfirter’s MindTrip to scratch the surface, his sound is highly revered and respected.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the title track “Your Body” that is actually the last on the EP. Maybe not the most obvious choice for some, it delivers on hidden levels. A subtle beat that’s built for the ‘heads’ and bursting with character. A punchy groove, catchy vocal sample and haunting chime make this a stripped back piece of perfection.

DT:Premiere | Markus Suckut - Your Body [ODD / EVEN]

Anagram Label follow up their ‘Phasing Faces’ releases with remixes from Efdemin, Lapien, Ryan James Ford and Terrence Dixon under his Population One moniker this December.

Released earlier this year, ‘Phasing Faces’ was a two-part series featuring Anetha, Elad Magdasi, Mathame and Maukook, not to mention label founders Sinfol and Octual. Anagram have now tapped up four reputable names for a heavyweight remix package; Dial regular Efdemin, fast rising MDR and Answer Code Request act Ryan James Ford, Dutch producer Lapien aka one half of Delsin’s Artefakt, as well as renowned Detroit artist Terrence Dixon appearing as Population One.

Ostgut Ton’s Efdemin opens the package with his immersive remix of Sinfol ‘Trembling’, incorporating pulsating drones, echoing effects and ethereal synths. Anetha’s ‘Acid Train’ then gets reimagined by SHUT founder Ryan James Ford – the Canadian combines thudding kicks with mesmerising atmospherics as metallic percussion skips throughout.

Adding further depth to the release, Rekids and Mistress Recordings artist Lapien remixes Elad Magdasi ‘Two Floors’ to generate a smooth aesthetic complete with serene nuances and soulful vocal coos before
Rush Hour and Metroplex’s Population One ties everything together with a deep house reinterpretation of Octual's ‘Dark Sky’.

ANAGRAM011 | Various Artists - Phasing Faces Remixes EP

Out now on vinyl & digital release - https://lnk.to/REKIDS116

German producer Markus Suckut returns with a mesmerising techno release entitled ‘New Life EP’, a precursor to his forthcoming album on Rekids. First appearing on Rekids in 2015, Markus Suckut has since become a vital member of the Rekids family when not running his own labels SCKT and Pattern Research. Pounding drums and atmospheric effects initiate ‘New Life’ before a groove laden bassline and scintillating synths ebbs into the mix. ‘Mistakes Are For Everyone’ then generates an oscillating aesthetic whilst syncopated kicks join echoing nuances, leading into the rattling sounds of ‘Shimmer’ with its ghostly chords and tantalising melodies. 

With Suckut having released two albums already the Düsseldorf artist is no stranger to the long player format making his forthcoming album on Rekids all the more exciting.

For its 303rd release, Tresor Records is glad to present a commissioned work by Donato Dozzy.

Rome based production maestro and DJ extraordinaire Donato Dozzy is unanimously considered as an illustrious leading light in all techno artforms.

Along his long career and extensive discography, Dozzy has proven to use his instruments most interesting ways, always re-inventing his music, always presenting new approaches to both the deeper and the more rhythmic forms of electronic music. It was self-evident to Tresor Records to enroll Donato Dozzy’s talents for this assignment, a nod to the seminal Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer.

The result is a relentless collection of radical, propulsive and bleeding-heart acid tracks. In Dozzy’s words.

Donato Dozzy wishes to dedicate this work to his lifelong friend Filo.

Tresor.303 released July 13th on 2x12” vinyl and digital.
