UK techno legend Mark Broom returns to Rekids Special Projects with Vol. 3 of his ‘Mutated Battle Breaks’ series.

Following the first two volumes of ‘Mutated Battle Breaks’ and two recently acclaimed albums in ‘Funfzig’ and ‘100% Juice’, UK stalwart Mark Broom returns to Rekids. Bringing the third collection of heavy hitting techno weapons for Radio Slave’s techno-focussed imprint, ‘Mutated Battle Breaks Vol. 3’ showcases eight precision-built no-nonsense tools, delivering yet another techno masterclass across the release.

Releasing on labels such as Rekids, M-Plant, and Blueprint, the wildly prolific Broom has consistently been at the forefront of the techno scene for decades with his gritty, groove-based output while, away from the dancefloor, his The Fear Ratio project with James Ruskin continues to win critical acclaim.

Heat Again (Zisko Remix) (SAFE SPACE 004)

Mauro Picotto 'Baguette'

First issued in 1998 on Superstition Records, Oliver Lieb’s L.S.G. project distilled late-’90s Frankfurt techno/trance into sleek, tightly engineered club tools with arc and atmosphere. The Black Album: The Vinyl Mixes (Remastered) presents the unmixed, original vinyl versions—newly remastered by Lieb—to foreground the detail in his drum programming, weight in the low end and the aerodynamic synth work that made these tracks DJ staples. Across nine pieces you move from the brooding momentum of “The Train Of Thought 1.1” and the nimble pulse of “Go Fishing” to the sinewy churn of “Cellular,” the pressure-valve release of “The Blaxone” and “Rotation,” the taut tension of “88” and “Freakz,” and the endorphin lift of “Hellfire” and “Deep Blue.” L.S.G.’s reputation for trance without cliché has been noted for decades. Lieb’s own note on the remastering underlines the intent: fed “through the finest analogue gear… tweaked to make it sound up to date while the music still is timeless.”

Doug Cooney has been one of the driving forces in Irish techno for a number of years now, both his productions and his DJ sets are marvelled around the country and further afield, receiving support from the likes of Bens Sims, Answer Code Request and Jon Hester.

With previous releases on the likes of ORBIS, ORGONE, Research and his own RLSD imprint, we're delighted to see Doug's next EP was signed with none other than Bastardo Electrico, one of Irelands longest running labels/club-nights, headed up by Cork techno enthusiast Jamie Behan.  

Doug's Real//Sound imprint is more than just a label, it's also an independent music school for aspiring DJs and producers in Dublin, hosting workshops and showcases for those involved. 

We were lucky enough to pick up 'Higher Self' from his forthcoming 'Dark Stream' EP for a premiere. A deep, percussive track that channels the sound of old school techno with metallic riff that twist and turn while still maintaining a modern twist. 

The EP drops of Sunday, May 6th... Grab a copy here: https://bastardoelectricorecordings.bandcamp.com/album/doug-cooney-dark-stream-ep

Coyu heads up the Suara label, has had countless Beatport chart toppers, is a famous cat lover and DJ who has played the world's biggest stages. His most recent album demonstrated just how broad his sound can be, covering jungle, techno, house and plenty in between with a real sense of style.

"I have always liked house and disco, but since I'm very focused on (hard) techno these days I decided to start a new project where being able to release whatever I want without the pressure of the (techno)
scene,” he explains. “But the idea behind Hassler is not just to release house music but also to not follow the rules and release whatever I think is fun, groovy and makes me dance. Mostly high tempo (132-136)
house and disco but always mixed with other genres.”

“Trick is the perfect place for releasing my first Hassler release and developing my sound. Patrick Topping's label is one of the few house labels that crosses borders and tries to be authentic. They don't
revisit the 80s and the 90s as many other labels do at this right moment, but create something fresh and unique."

To that end he seeps up the super fresh 'The Wrong Call' to kick off this EP. It is a punchy, high energy track with busy synths and what is sure to become an iconic break with a dial tone that will send the crowd wild. 'This Shit Is Over' keeps up the energy levels with bleeping synth riffs and stomping, raw
edged kicks making for an innovative contemporary techno sound that grows ever more manic and distorted. Last of all, 'The Nest' is urgent and compelling, with lithe bass and barreling drum programming run through with vocal loops that are designed to have people in raptures before
exploding into peak time techno.

Industry heavyweights Yousef, Alan Fitzpatrick and Avision team up for an astounding 2 track EP on Yousef’s Circus Recordings

The EP opens up with the dancefloor-destroying title track. A steady, up-tempo and commanding drum pattern builds the energy along with subtle synths that work their way around the rhythm. Enigmatic vocal samples flicker into the mix with high-octane echoing synth stabs cascading in halfway through, taking the track to dizzying heights.

‘Twilight Dance’ follows, kicking things off with dreamy percussion and shuffled shakers that welcome the arrival of firm 4/4 kicks. Built around a beautifully crafted jumping synth line the trio build the track with finesse layering punchy claps and zingy cymbals, punctured by occasional high-energy drones for a dose of pure euphoria.

Delivering two peak-timers, Yousef, Fitzpatrick and Avision come together to provide the sounds that are sure to shake up any dancefloor!

Trick is an acclaimed dance music label and event brand owned and curated by global dance music icon, Patrick Topping.

The Newcastle native launched Trick in 2019 as a platform to spot and champion emerging artists, both in the studio and behind the decks. Since then, Trick has become one of the scene's most popular underground dance music event brands and record labels, launching the careers of some of the UK's biggest ticket-sellers and creating a cult fan following along the way.

As a record label, Trick is set to his 100 releases in 2024 and has given an outlet to many new signings who have since become some of the fastest-rising stars in the UK, such as Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing and Ewan McVicar, who delivered platinum-certified “Tell Me Something Good” along the way. 

Trick's loyal fanbase has become one of the most passionate communities in dance music, with fans sporting Trick's signature lightning bolt on merchandise and tattoos at events throughout the UK and beyond. From completing a 9-date residency in 2022 at Ibiza's legendary DC10, to hosting a stage at EDC Orlando 2022, to attracting 10,000 ravers to The Warehouse Project in Manchester and bringing thousands to an Australian Debut in Melbourne in 2023. Then there is the Trick Weekenders, Budapest in 2022 and Tenerife in 2023. These events both saw 2,500 Trick Troops holiday and party together abroad, with Trick Tenerife this year set to double in size.

In 2024 Patrick is set to give back to his roots, bringing legions of fans to his hometown of Newcastle this summer 2024 with the launch of Trick Fest. Trick will also return to Ibiza, hosting a four-date residency in Hï’s Theatre on Wednesdays.
