Techno

Six months after their first Compilation, UNCAGE returns with ‘MISSION#2’, a 22-track compilation featuring some of the most promising techno artists. Wrapping up the year with impressive releases, FLUG aka SEBASTIAN LOPEZ is the curator of this incredible selection, throwing the listener into a galloping universe made of warehouse anthems, pick-time rollers and old-school tools. The Argentinian’s track “THE PIANO” was techno number one for six consecutive months, so label boss Marco Faraone thought that after this outstanding result he was the perfect artist to collect this new musical journey sharing his personal music message. Having a solid career in what he truly loves he released music on many established techno labels like Nina Kraviz’s “TRIP”, Dustin Zahn’s “Enemy Records” and his own record label “Existentia” launched this year. Welcome 2021!

Keeping up their fine schedule, the Spazio Disponibile label is back with a fifth excellent EP, this time from Modes. Modes is an artist who is making his debut here, and he is one of a few guys Spazio is creating a platform for in the coming months. 

Modes fits right in with the deeply subliminal, transcendental style of the label and its associated party in Rome. Opener ‘M52’ is a supple and sci-fi mix of smooth rubber kicks and Millsian melodies that are trippy and hypnotic. ‘M51’ is darker and moodier, with smeared pads and grainy ambience making for a big and shadowy chamber of end-of-days techno that is full of foreboding, and finally ‘M44’ is more forceful and brutal, with reverb and electricity static adding texture to the cavernous airwaves. Compelling from start to finish, this is a fantastic debut from Modes.

Once again, Donato Dozzy & Neel's Spazio Disponibile label has come correct with a fantastic new EP, this time from Donato Dozzy in collaboration with US artist Mike Parker. 

Parker has a very unique and well styled brand of techno that fits in perfectly with the deeply hypnotic sounds favoured by Dozzy. Together they cook up four more brain frying cuts that are expertly crafted and meticulously sculpted. 

‘Meltemi’ goes first and is a grainy bit of subterranean ambiance that sounds like being stuck in a cave. ‘Paramegnetism’ then picks up the pace with a loopy and trippy techno track that has a lead synth hook burrowing deep into your brain and sci-fi details and rubber drums roll below. ‘Opalesce’ is then even harder, with more prying loops sending you wild as drums roll on uninterrupted below. It is darkened mind music of the highest order before last cut ‘Stegosauria’ sends out sonar blips and pulses as microbial synths scurry around the ticking groove. Once again then the Spazio label serves up its special brand of techno in real style.

The tenth release on the Spazio Disponibile label comes from co-founder Neel and marks his first solo EP ever. The Italian DJ, producer and mastering engineer is known for his supple and subtle techno both solo or as one half of Voices From the Lake with Donato Dozzy. Previous solo outings appeared on labels like Prologue and Spectrum Spools, and now he shows off his sound design skills once more across three compelling and intense techno cuts on his own label.

A year after their debut on the label, Crossing Avenue return with five more sublime techno tracks on Spazio Disponibile. That first EP remains the only outing for the pair of Andrea La Bombarda and Andrea Montrone, and this new one is another experimental trip into mind melting grooves. 

Opener ‘Laguna’ is a loopy, liquid track of fluttering drums and rubbery kicks that never lets up. ‘Ortica’ is more gloopy and wonky, with firmer kicks and aqueous sounds dripping off the groove, while ‘Lyra’ is beautifully delicate and intricate, with underwater life forms drifting by as gentle xylophones sounds dance around. The masterful minimalism continues on the dark, undulating and alien ‘Vilipendio,’ and things round out with the paranoid voices and panning synths of ‘Mekong’, an unsettling track that has you looking over your shoulder.

Tracklist:

A1.  Crossing Avenue - Laguna
A2. Crossing Avenue - Ortica
B1.  Crossing Avenue - Lyra
B2. Crossing Avenue - Vilipendio
B3. Crossing Avenue - Mekong

Following on from their recent album on Italian imprint Just This, Hunter/Game present the Silence Remixes out June 7th, featuring contributions from Radio Slave, Inland and Jamaica Suk amongst others.

Silence is a spiralling voyage into the depths of blissful ambience and meditative techno from Milan-based duo Hunter/Game. Arriving after a series of acclaimed EPs on the same label, it is an aesthetic statement of intent, carving out serene spaces of melancholy and upliftment.

For the remixes EP, a carefully chosen selection of artists provide varying interpretations of stand-out tracks from the album. Radio Slave turns ‘Dead Soul’ into a marching ground of melodic techno, whilst Inland breathes robotic life into ‘Crashed Sounds’ and Wrong Assessment levitate ‘Fragments’ over murky waters. Closing off the vinyl is Jamaica Suk’s ominous restructuring of ‘Reaction’.

Owners of the digital release will receive three further remixes. Vessels turns ‘Evolution’ into a broken dreamscape of stepping percussion, whilst Just This affiliate Scissors forges a stripped back, tripped out version of ‘Memories’. Also featured digitally is a second version of Jamaica Suk’s ‘Reaction’ remix.

Spazio Disponibile (Spazio017) - 12"
release date: 12 July 2019

Pre-order: https://donatodozzy.bandcamp.com/album/variations

a1.	Donato Dozzy & Anna Caragnano - Parola (Rework)
b1.	Donato Dozzy - 12H.5 (Remix)

Donato Dozzy is back on Spazio Disponibile with two special dance floor (re)works. The long awaited rework of 'Parola' comes first. Previously released on Spectrum Spools back in 2015 on his collaborative album with Anna Caragnano, he spices things up here with the hypnotic vocal loops mangled into trippy and psychedelic patterns with supple, rolling drums taking you deep down into the rabbit hole. 

On the flip, '12H.5' is a rework taken from the soon to be released Donato Dozzy album on Lorenzo Senni's Presto!? Records. It shows the more melodic and dreamy side of Donato, less dark and more transcendental but just as seductive for your mind. A seven minute long trancy trip, floating towards paradise.

Maceo Plex’s taste-making Ellum Audio serves up a sizzling EP from Madben, featureing a remix from men of the moment Brame & Hamo.

Frenchman Madben has a healthy reverence for Jeff Mils and Detroit techno that infuses all his work. He has been mentored by Laurent Garnier and released on a wealth of quality labels from Bedrock to Suara. A resident of the Rex Club in Paris where he puts on his MAAD parties, he is now a regular in the best clubs around Europe where he serves up his always profound sounds, something he does again here.

First up is the fantastic ‘Blooming’, with its old school rave styles and dusty breakbeats. Euphoric chords light up the whole thing and it’s a tune that is sure to get hands in the air.

Brame & Hamo are Irish sensations who are based in Berlin and known for big tunes that range from house to techno to disco. After establishing their own label they step out with a remix that is superbly stripped back. On deep rolling drums, sleek synths unfold and take you on a cosmic adventure that is well paced and cinematic.

Madben’s ‘Enjoy Yourself' is well-crafted techno with a sense of progression in the ever-evolving lead synths. Rumbling drums provide the power below and filtered, whispered vocals are an intriguing detail up top. 

Last of all, ‘Haze’ is a prickly track with snappy mental drums, off kilter synths that twist and turn and a dark energy that is tinged with industrialism.

This is a fresh techno offering that comes with plenty of new ideas that are all expertly executed.

V/A – Drumcode A-Sides Vol. 9
Cat no. DC223
Label: Drumcode
Release date: 27 April, 2020

In a brief interview around his latest Drumcode release, Oscar L explains how "When I started producing 'Dark Fate' I wanted to try something techno and groovy. I got inspired by the original soundtrack movie from ‘Terminator' and actually this is where the title of the track is coming from. I think 'Dark Fate' is a strong weapon for DJs to get the crowd into the techno mood without hitting too hard".

If you want a snapshot of where techno stands in any given year, and a preview of where it’s headed, look no further than Drumcode’s A-Sides compilation. Since 2012 it has marked the label debuts of countless vital Drumcode artists and affiliates, from Layton Giordani, Wehbba and Boxia, to Amelie Lens and ANNA, no less. Every year, new names are unearthed, tried and true techno contributors serve up their best, and icons of the industry land their debut on Adam Beyer’s storied label.

The 2020 edition hits with 13 tracks, eight coming from label debutants. There’s Eats Everything searing rave bomb ‘Organico’ and Dubfire’s ice-cool electro offering ‘Deadbug’, both artists landing their maiden contributions to DC after long affiliations with Beyer. With three EPs in less than two years on Truesoul, Oscar L steps up to DC, showing the breadth of his sound palette with a soaring, synth-laden gem ‘Dark Fate’. Belgians Joyhauser featured at last year’s Drumcode Festival paving the way for ‘Fierceness’, a beautiful melody-drenched cut befitting their DC cap. Anfisa Letyago is another first timer and shows why she’s one of the scene’s most highly touted new artists with the brooding beast ‘Are You In’. A growing label favourite, Juliet Fox follows up ‘Was Beautiful’, her superb track on last year’s A-Sides, with ‘Our Fantasy’, reinforcing her skill for crafting anthemic techno compositions. Victor Ruiz & Thomas Schumacher link and the result is ‘Intuit’, a sleek futuristic roller that hits you square between the eyes. Other highlights come from longtime Drumcode cohorts Reset Robot and Harvey McKay, who both dish up premium works, reinforcing their classy productions nous.

Mister Olivier Giacomotto has marked his debut on Eleatics with his 'Dance Alone' remix, which has become one of the most recognizable tracks from our catalogue last year.
There is enough information so far about Olivier - in-demand producer and remixer, who has been keeping his sound fresh and actual for more than 15 years with the releases on his own Definite Recordings, Noir Music, Stil Vor Talent and Senso Sounds as from the few to speak about.
This time we welcome French maestro for his debut full 'Barbak' EP on Eleatics.
The main title 'Barbak' track is neatly and masterfully produced unit, being explosive enough to be the epicentre of any set.
While hypnotic and melodic 'Kabrab' is embracing the best of what we like in the union of melodies and intense atmosphere of house & techno: sharply emerging leads alongside the mystic vocals and aggressive growling low sounds immediately gave that special feeling we wanted to share with you.
Take those tracks with you, wherever you may be.
We set no boundaries, you clearly now that.
