Limping on Clouds is an EP born from an in-depth collaboration between Polygonia and Shoal. The A-side features one carefully curated track by each artist, while the B-side is a true symbiosis of their work, evolving from a single element or layer loop into a complete mix and arrangement that was gradually developed over time and distance.

Side A opens with Shoal's “Majola,” featuring layered breaks and a deep, slung bass, followed by Polygonia's “Repeat,” infused with kinetic energy, rhythmic elements, and euphonic vocal samples.

Black Light Smoke - Control
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/Control

It’s always fun to let our audience peer through the party peephole with some hot behind-the-scenes info. For months, Black Light Smoke’s Control EP has supplied several of label head Tiga’s secret DJ weapons. In fact, he’s been sneaking out constantly after 9pm to play it out anywhere they’ll have him. And it’s little wonder to those who wonder why, as the Chicago-born producer’s top-flight mix of EBM, electro and Benadryl-soaked vocals has all the right people dancing.

Leadoff track "New York Is Dead” eulogizes the famous Big Apple Dance Party Scene in a way that will confuse the many who have embraced the city’s thriving “Groove With the Avengers” day rave series in Times Square. But the nihilism-liking doesn’t stop there, with the Friday-Til-I-Die attitude of “Black Hole at the Disco,” the pleather-dreaded post-cyberpunk  of “Last Song Before Sunrise”, and the oxygen-deprived acid of “Break Your Back” culminating in the 11:45am-peak-time industrial trance of closer “Mind Control.” 

Because we want this to be available to as many inhabitants of the blasted apocalyptic landscape we have pencilled in for 2034 or so, we have decided to make this release available both digitally and on vinyl. So whether you’ve managed to jack in illegally to a Spotify Wind Farm or you’re relegated to the hand-cranked misery of a Victrola while living in a barn or something, we’ve got you covered!

Black Light Smoke - Last Song Before Sunrise

Keepsakes - Impossible (Eating The Sun)
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/Impossible-EatingTheSun

Hot off his killer 2024 remix of Tiga and Hudson Mohawke’s “BUYBUYSELL,”  UK-New Zealand DJ/Producer Keepsakes makes his proper Turbo debut with the Impossible (Eating the Sun) EP. From merciless techno bangers to caustic track titles that will absolutely shred your preconceived notions about the world and sneer at them as they writhe bleeding on the cold, hard ground, this release validates our label’s OCD-level commitment to living on the edge of something at all times.

The title track doubles as a massive forest rave bomb AND the No. 1 battle weapon for opening DJs looking to fuck over the headliner, while “Bongo Funeral” reimagines tribal techno as the chief export of a village ruled by emotionally unavailable gremlins. Next, “Snacks at Waco” makes skillful use of a hammering industrial beat to hammer home the importance of loyalty and community, and “Parasocially There for You” deftly soundtracks anxiety dreams about meeting your favorite podcaster. Finally, closer “Nimby Orgy” likely represents the very first sexual aftercare banger. NOTE: we’ve heard bad things about both NIMBYs and YIMBYs, and as such have adopted a militantly neutral position on the matter of who is f-ing and s-ing in our backyard. 

Given that Keepsakes is a vinyl-only DJ, we’ve done him the courtesy of making this release available both on vinyl and digitally. While this would have been an incredible opportunity to completely shut him out of playing his own tracks, we decided that this would be unfair to the music itself. Because at the end of the day, Turbo takes its marching orders from Harmony, Melody, Rhythm, and Timbre, and to betray even one of our ethereal masters would be tantamount to kicking our own vision square in the nuts. IOW: ain’t never gonna happen.

Bogotá-Berlin based audio visual studio Activity Vision announce Activity FM, a new record label for 2025 with an upfront four track V/A EP featuring a global batch of techno and electro visionaries DJ Hell, Truncate, DJ T-1000 and Mark Broom. The label’s mission is to focus on presenting new sounds from respected names alongside up and coming talent from their native South America and beyond, marrying the visual dynamic of their work with their passion of electronic music culture. Expect a series of digital releases dropping regularly this year covering all sides of club music from the techno, electro, house and breakbeat continuums.

This first V/A EP sets out the tone for AFM with a set of four heavy-weight club tracks - DJ Gigolo founder DJ Hell is first up with heavy-set darkside thumper ‘Scale’. The lead single from the EP, Truncate’s ‘Where Do We Go’ comes next and is dominated by a juiced up acid line, this one is aptly timed to drop on international 303 day. Legendary producer and graphic artist DJ T-1000 (Alan Oldham) presents a new DJ T-1000 track ‘No Victims Only Volunteers’ next - a masterclass in Detroit machine funk. For the closing track on this V/A EP, UK techno don Mark Broom opened up his DAT archive to exclusively release ‘Nineties’ for the first time which was originally produced between 1992-1993 in the golden era of UK warehouse techno.

Originally hailing from Venezuela - Activity Vision create high-quality audiovisual content for the electronic music industry and was established a decade ago by a team of 90’s and early 2000s rave scene pioneers.

For Activity FM’s releases the collective will keep visual storytelling at the core of what they do taking inspiration from Detroit techno’s artwork traditions and the likes of Alan Oldham, Underground Resistance as well as Jack Kirby’s classic American comics. They set out to have a strong visual identity to match the vibrancy of their releases, watch out as they plan to grow and build the label through digital and vinyl releases, events and live-streams.

DJ JM - moov
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/moov

When the people just gotta dance right now, Turbo Recordings will drop everything to fast-track the hottest, rawest music the moment the download links hit our Hotmail. Such is the case with rising Lithuanian superstar DJ JM’s moov EP, which contains five tracks so good they needed to hit today's streets today. To ensure the mind-churning efficiency and logistical brilliance needed to pull off this kind of turnaround, label life-giver Tiga slept and tried to bathe at the office for five straight days* before being hospitalized for "caring too much.” 

The result is a thrilling showcase for DJ JM, perhaps our favorite current artist working in any medium. His grit-rich beats, his melodist’s ear, his sound design…sometimes it’s all too much to bear. But bear it and grin you shall, and as you have the night of your life every night from now into the future untold, take a moment to spare a grin in the knowledge that somewhere there is a man hooked up to a Gatorade IV who wanted all of this for you and could not bear for you to wait a moment longer. 

Available from this day forward on vinyl and also digitally. 

*Which is maybe not that impressive because it’s really super-nice here. The staff cots are memory foam and we’re getting an air fryer.

What happens when RONI @roni_nza and Dj Babatr @dj-babatr join forces? A pearlescent mutation called 'pearl touch' rippling with emotional hooks and raptor house flavours, courtesy of the genre's pioneer, Dj Babatr. Ideal for low-ceilinged raves with equally low ventilation.

On her first full EP, RONI curates and delivers nine club-driven tracks, tapping into gut-punching basslines, tingling textures and swirling melodies.

Inspired to make music to match her freewheeling DJ sets, 'celestial' features solo tracks by RONI, collaborative productions with Dj Babatr and Ma Sha, and exquisite remixes from Bitter Babe, Audrey Danza, Peder Mannerfelt and JKS.

Following contributions to Fever AM, Rhythm Section and Borne Fruits, 'celestial' marks RONI's debut EP.

Calm Down

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.
