Japanese Techno pioneer Ken Ishii returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects with the ‘Autopilot’ EP, arriving 22nd August 2025. It follows his first appearance on the label in 2023, where he collaborated with Dutch duo Kamara on the ‘Powerplay’ single.

‘Autopilot’ kicks oﬀ with an unsuspecting, rolling groove while playful synths sneak up and bounce oﬀ its rhythm. The trip continues with ‘Sunset Flight’, lush chords washing over deep, subby low-end, rising high before delving back into the background while delicious percs play between its pounding kick drums. Closer ‘Grid Bounce’ then returns to mischief, machine-like sequences tumbling over an unrelenting beat, excellently building pressure for maximum dancefloor wonk.

“With this EP, I wanted to combine the funky and happy side of my music with driving techno elements. The EP and track titles were inspired when I was on a long-haul flight. So happy to release these three tracks in one EP.”
– Ken Ishii

DJ and producer Ken Ishii is one of the founding artists behind the Japanese Techno scene, he debuted on R&S Records in 1993 and quickly rose to global acclaim, releasing on labels like Harthouse, Exceptional, and now Rekids’ RSPX oﬀshoot, while collaborating with artists like Jeﬀ Mills, who remixed Ishii’s 2019 ‘MOBÏUS STRIP’ album on U/M/A/A.

He is also the founder of the 70 Drums label, co-brewer of KIKK IPA, worked on theme songs for the 1998 Winter Olympics and the Japanese government for the 2005 World Expo, and continues to innovate through projects ranging from video game and anime soundtracks to collaborations with Jazz artists.

NUDE is a sub-brand of Data Transmission focusing on Techno.

Martel is no ordinary name on the circuit. Underground visionary, architect, game-dev, musician — his path cuts from Titograd to London, Philly to Nicosia, always chasing sound, craft, and truth. It’s migration and music stitched together with a cinematic edge, and now it lands squarely in our NUDE Techno series.

Fresh off his hypnotic cut 'The Ghost', Martel steps up with a 60-minute mix that dives deep into the darker corners of techno. Expect rolling grooves, cinematic soundscapes, and heads-down pressure designed for basements and rooftops. This isn’t festival confetti, this is sweat-on-the-walls energy for the underground.

Martel’s blend of emotion, precision, and subversion makes this set one for the heads. The kind of mix you put on loud, lock into, and let the hours disappear.

The NUDE Techno podcast with Martel is live and it’s pure fire.

Terence Fixmer Reissues Two Cult Techno Anthems on Red 10" Vinyl and digital.

Techno pioneer Terence Fixmer re-releases two of his most iconic tracks — Electrostatic and Electric Vision — now remastered for a more contemporary and powerful sound, and pressed on a limited edition 10” red vinyl. 

Originally released on Gigolo Records in the late '90s and early 2000s, both tracks quickly became underground anthems. Played by legendary DJs such as Dave Clarke, Sven Väth, and many others, they were also named Tracks of the Year by renowned techno publications like Groove magazine. 

With these two groundbreaking cuts, Terence Fixmer helped open a bold new chapter in the history of techno — giving birth to Techno Body Music (TBM), a genre blending the raw, industrial force of EBM with the driving energy of techno. Electrostatic, in particular, is considered a foundational track of this hybrid style. 

Now regarded as true techno classics, Electrostatic and Electric Vision have stood the test of time and are still played regularly by DJs worldwide, continuing to energize dancefloors decades after their release. 

This is the first official repress in over 20 years, and the first time these two cult tracks appear together on one record — sharper, louder, and more essential than ever.

NUDE is a sub-brand of Data Transmission focusing on Techno.

Welcome to the NUDE Techno series, where we strip it all back to the bare essentials. This raw, unfiltered techno journey is served fresh by the one and only Sara Delirio. A woman who's not just making waves, she's making tsunamis in the underground scene. 

Sara's been carving her path through the gritty depths of techno for years. Her sound is a sanctuary, a refuge from the relentless noise of the world. She crafts vibrations that speak a primal language, one that transports you straight to the heart of the dancefloor. It's a circuit of sound, where every beat connects the inner self with the collective experience. This isn't just techno—it's a transcendent movement.

In this NUDE Techno session, there's no fluff. Just pure, undistilled techno. Sara Delirio dives into raw textures, exploring tribal rhythms and hypnotic repetition that elevate the consciousness. It's like stepping into a sacred basement rave where the music is the only thing that matters. Tracks like "Espiritu" and the unreleased gem "Lenguaje de sueños" showcase her unfiltered artistic vision, sparking a sonic revolution one track at a time.

Respect for the pure techno culture runs deep here. Sara channels the spirit of the underground, where every encounter broadens her vision and fuels her purpose. The mix is smoother than a DJ blending tracks on silk, a real ode to the tribal and primal elements of techno.

So, crank up the volume, lose yourself in the grooves, and let Sara Delirio take you on a journey through soundscapes that demand your full attention. This is NUDE Techno at its finest, and it's begging to be heard.

Irish techno producer, Kerrie, returns to Tresor Records on the 24th of October 2025 with her second EP for the label. Entitled Echoes Of The Live Wire, this collection captures the beauty and essence of live performance; a moment in time never to be repeated.


This fixing of time is also given a different meaning as the EP explores the ways in which intense moments in our lives, both joyful and painful, are crystallised into memory, both beautiful and haunting, lingering long after they've passed.  


Layered meanings are employed throughout as Kerrie explores this idea: Live Wire draws connections between circuit boards and the human nervous system, whilst also toying with multiple meanings of the word “live”.  


Echoes Of channels classic Detroit techno influences, resonating with the distant hum of memories that refuse to fade, while Moment To Memory is a beatless, floating piece which slowly builds to an ecstatic crescendo.  Digital bonus tracks Recircuit and Reclaim add further depth to the core metaphor: the former a driving, minimal yet building techno work-out, and the latter a cathartic and emotionally open track that delivers intensity with vulnerability.  


Echoes Of The Live Wire reflects on memory as a complex, dual-sided force where joy and pain coexist with equal weight. Her creative process becomes a form of meditation and emotional processing, using machines to process, reflect, and let go. The result is a body of work that loops back on itself, telling a story of fleeting moments and their lasting emotional imprints.

PREMIERE: Kerrie - System Awakens

FORMS is the new live techno project from Brian Sanhaji and Monoloc,
two artists who have shaped Frankfurt’s uncompromising sound for more than two decades.

FORMS – EMPHAZE
A sonic triptych built for dark rooms and focused minds.
With EMPHAZE, FORMS present a tightly sculpted three-track EP that explores the raw architecture of modern techno,uncompromising, immersive, and physically direct.
Each track reveals a different facet of the duo's sound while staying true to their shared aesthetic: minimal structure, detailed execution, and relentless drive.
Emphaze unfolds gradually through pulsing sub bass, washed-out textures, and subtle modulations. The result is a hypnotic, tension-filled piece,perfectly suited for the late hours. Tibanna follows with a precision-built, mechanical groove, dry, focused, and relentlessly pushing forward.
Surrender in Depth closes the EP in a meditative low-end framework, where tonal shifts and rhythmic layering sustain a deep, restrained momentum.
EMPHAZE captures the essence of FORMS: reduced, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in the moment. Techno without ornaments - just structure, pressure, and pulse.

My remixes of Sterac's classic Thera, typical "classic" detroit techno feel.
Due to be released on 100% Pure summer 2012

Sterac - Thera (2000 and One Classic RMX)

TWIN TURBO - HARVARD BASS - CREAM

Twin Turbo creams all over the dancefloor with the latest release from Harvard Bass. Featuring a remix by Ambivalent.

For his second release on Twin Turbo, San Diego's Harvard Bass whips the cream right out of dancers' jeans, which seems like something that should appeal to pretty much everyone, including the big-name DJs (Tiga, Brodinski, Zombie Nation) who privately chart his every move.

First, the title track walks right in and kicks you repeatedly in the toms, bringing the bass and party bleepin' that's become as cherished a part of our cultural fabric as the acoustic guitar or the air horn. With its infectious, sped-up hip-hop vocal, "Cream" could become the biggest track in the world, or something you play for friends for the first time for the next 20 years. It's not  for us to dictate the life of our artist's work, only to shove it into the waiting arms of any weirdo with five euros and a GMail account. Meanwhile, the narcotized vocal sample on "Pimps" promises listeners "everything they want in life," and delivers with the kind of clap workout they've been dreaming of since the moment of conception.

For the remix, we looked to someone to whom it seemed wise to look. With releases on M-nus and Plus 8, multiple collaborations with Alexi Delano, and remixes for the likes of Plastikman, Berlin-based American Ambivalent was, we felt, an inspired and courageous choice to take on as balls-all-over a track as "Cream." And what he delivers is perhaps the greatest marriage of German tech precision and Florida bass energy since Volume Four of the Orlando-Munich Connection comp series.

Twin Turbo - big-room anthems in the name of Truth, Brotherhood, and Inclusionality since late-mid-2011.

Turbo CD 028 Jori Hulkkonen MAN FROM EARTH
The world we live in, on a very fundamental level, is flawed.  On the eve of my tenth album release I'm still writing my own bio and wondering if I should refer to myself in third person, analyze the past 15 years and justify bad career moves as artistic integrity, and promote myself as the unsung hero of techno and house; a mere victim of poorly timed strokes of genius (numerous!) and being born in the wrong part of the world.  Well, sarcasm never really did become me, and irony works only if unnoticed. Double fail.  It's easy enough to google up some old Jori Hulkkonen bio with real biographical info, or check out my discography from my website so I'll spare you the boring details of my "career".  Ever since the late 80's when my obsession with all things music started to manifest itself with an increasingly verstaile record collection and eventually some synths and experiments in songwriting, it has been quite clear to me that I'm destined to create my life's work within the business. The problem is that as an idealist cynic with tight grip on realism I'm well aware that 'the biz' is a sinking ship more or less, and I'm already dancerously close to the waterline. But the good news is that I stopped caring.
Here's why:
Having released my first proper artist album in 1996 for the French label F communications (defunct now since 2008, with my album "Errare Machinale Est" as their final release -coincidence?), I've managed to do something I never thought would be possible, something that I'm the most proud of all things in my career: never becoming popular.  After nine albums, dozens of pseudonym releases on superhot labels (like Rekids and Get Physical just to mention a couple from the past few years), close to a hundred remixes, my own radioshow on national radio for more than a decade (in Finland though, so it may not count), thousands of DJ gigs all over the world under my belt (OK I never actually counted but a quick calculation tells me it must be close to 2000 now), producing and writing songs for the likes of Tiga (whom I created in the first place), and having a reputation as a producer who can make an 808 kickdrum sound like a jazzy flute, you'd expect that there was a time when I was The Shit. But I never was!  Sure enough there's a lot people who never were "big", but are they still working? Releasing albums, singles, getting remix requests and DJing all over after 15 years? No. But I am. And this I see as my greatest achievement and there's a lesson to be learned everyone: If you never become trendy it's impossible for you to become untrendy.  Will all this change now though with my hotter than hot new album on Turbo, or the buzz around my Acid Symphony Orchestra (a piece I wrote for ten tb-303's and a 707, conducted by me)? Or the rumoured collaboration with Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys?
It remains to be seen but I'm dedicated to give my best shot to not let it happen.
Man From Earth, my tenth studio album, is the first "Jori Hulkkonen" album not released on the now defunct F communications.
How will this change of label affect my sound? Is this the end of ballads, jazz and ambient? Of course not -not even for me - but the album is a deliberate (as in not forced) departure from the bedroom vibes with focus on jams for the dance crowds.
Recorded at my alppIVhouz studios, most of the tracks were intended for 12" singles so they are not album tracks as such, therefore the album is maybe not as coherent and subtle as some of my previous efforts. But what it may lack in atmospheric synthpads, "scandinavian mooddesign" and social commentary it makes up in catchy basslines, sizzling hihats and semi-danceable tracks.

Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
