The fifth installment in the K Series is partitioned into two segments of coarse sound works and dilated atmospheres. Spawning from the same kernel but different in sentiment, the astute and slithering overtones in this tensile techno compilation cruise the outskirts of physics to deliver mind-swivelling control over the body.

After releasing five sold out various artists EP’s featuring 25 artists, positivesource is excited to present a new chapter for the label with a diverse and anthemic EP from Berlin based producer Regent.

No stranger to the label, Regent contributed to src005 last year with his smooth techno roller ‘Off Agenda’ alongside music from Neri J, Alpha Tracks, Vil & Cravo. His tracks have featured heavily in DJ sets by label founders Blue Hour and Philippa Pacho over the years, naturally the idea to present the first artist EP on positivesource with Regent comes as no surprise. The record starts on a hypnotic tip with ‘Occult’, grooving along with an infectious bass-line swung beats and blissed out atmospherics before stepping up the energy levels on ‘Khmera’, a relentless chord driven percussive anthem with nostalgic vocals rising to new heights. On the flip the title track ‘Aphid Riot’ is bold and vibrant leaning heavily into UK flavours using sliced up vocals, breakbeats and a classic ‘Reece’ bass-line. Completing the record is a ‘broken’ version of ‘Aphid Riot’ highlighting an ethereal tonal melody with a deeper and more introspective take on the original. It’s a new sound exploration from the producer, demonstrating his versatility and perhaps a rare moment in his discography.

Two of the most exciting DJs and producers pumping music out of The Netherlands at the moment, Alec Dienaar stands in the techno scene with a unique sound that blends the classic with the modern, music filled with punchy percussion, catchy grooves, and compelling tracks that energize the dancefloor. Meanwhile STIPP resonates with the new essence of classic techno, bringing his fresh and innovative perspective by skillfully incorporating elements from a variety of genres like house, garage, and old-school hip-hop. Moreover, the two have had their tracks played out worldwide by the likes of Carista, Roza Terenzi, JakoJako, Mark Broom, Anetha, and Fjaak to name a few.

PREMIERE: STIPP & Alec Dienaar - U-Tool 03

“CYCLE” is the latest album by South German producer Max Tebbert, founder of the independent label RAUWERK. Entirely self-produced — from composition to mix and master — this record is a true reflection of Tebbert’s uncompromising artistic vision.

Crafted through a hybrid production approach, CYCLE merges the warmth and unpredictability of analog hardware, modular systems, and classic synthesizers with modern production techniques. The result is a deeply hypnotic journey marked by driving beats, textured soundscapes, and a distinct signature style that bridges the raw and the refined.

Each track unfolds like a chapter, reflecting the cyclical nature of sound, emotion, and experience. With CYCLE, Tebbert continues to push boundaries, inviting listeners into a sonic space that is both meditative and relentlessly forward-moving.

Truncate arrives on Token.

David Flores' raw, jacking sound refines the best bits of modern production whilst staying true to the core proponents of the Techno genre. His upcoming appearance on the label shows him in great form, channelling classic sounds in an elegant, reduced fashion.

Opener DTW 2 LAX V1 pairs a pitching sequence with dry drums and the careful arrangement of a pro. On the follow up, DTW 2 LAX V2 - Flores swaps out the immediacy of the 909 for a deeper 808 drum kit without any compromise on energy. On the flip The Dawn riffs on Hood-esque polyrhythms with frenetic, driven drum arrangement before closer Minimize offers a moment of psychedelic, heads-down introspection.

Inventive, effective weapons for discerning DJ's.
