Excellent high impact techno from Amsterdam, where Italian producer Francesco Rosati found his home. After releases on labels like Absolute, Sungate and Voltage, the 'Encounter' EP is his debut release for the NOWHERE series on Something Happening, Somewhere.

Rosati calls his new EP a statement to his stylistic musical output. He uses a hybrid setup of vintage analog machines and digital devices. For Encounter he wanted to grab the spirit of the moment. All five tracks were recorded directly in a single take, capturing pure energy.

It is probably the most pure techno release SoHaSo has done in a while. Opener Stabber alone is pure energy, with its roling Reese-like baselines, mesmerizing hi-hats and hypnotizing loops. The whole EP is a respectful nod to Detroit masters like Robert Hood and Jeff Mills while it also winks back to the menacing UK techno sound of the 90s. Or like Rosati says on his Soundcloud: "Future is the door - past is the key."

Release Date: 06.10.

Berlin techno talent Regent is next up on Mutual Rytm as he returns with a compelling new five-track 12" titled 'Coral Knife', plus a digital bonus cut. 

Regent emerged only in 2020, but has fired out quality tunes on Planet Rhythm Records, Arts Collective and Warg Records since then. His already extensive catalogue of standout releases combines tough and rapid grooves with cerebral qualities and a real depth of writing and sound design, resulting in timeless yet avant-garde material optimised for the dance floor. For that reason, he is one of the new forces emerging from the German capital and why his next EP, 'Coral Knife', sees him find a perfect home on SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint as he returns with his first 12” on the label following his appearance on the ‘Federation Of Rhythm II’ compilation earlier this year. 

The tight and funky 'Brickyard' opens with a high-speed groove and a taught synth riff darting about the mix to seductive effect, before 'Driftage' gets more raw with rickety percussion over bulky drums. The synths are dubby and liquid as they get smeared about the mix to bring dynamism to the groove. There is then darkness and heaviness to 'Nocta' with weighty kicks and alluring vocal sounds drifting through the late-night airwaves. Title track 'Coral Knife' cannot fail to sweep dancers off their feet with its fizzing synths and smooth drum loops overlaid with icy hi-hats that get you into a meditative state, while 'Encoder' layers up bleeps and squeaks over a signature linear groove that is detailed with muffled vocals and distant cosmic stars. 

As always with Mutual Rytm, the package rounded out with an impressive digital bonus in the form of 'Multiversa' - a driving and thunderous techno cut that closes the show emphatically. 

Regent ‘Coral Knife’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 6th October 2023.

Conform Records has built a reputation as one of the most respected independent labels in global techno music since its inception in 1997. Founded in Naples, Italy by Gaetano Parisio, the artistic vision behind Conform was to create a style of techno that represented the Neapolitan sound - one that was divergent from the Detroit and Berlin techno sounds, which were musically and geographically separate from Naples at that time. 

The platform has featured releases from well-respected producers like Adam Beyer, Ben Sims, C&G Southsystem (Marco Carola & Gaetano Parisio), Danilo Vigorito, Davide Squillace, Gaetek, Innersound, Markantonio, Qmen, Stanny Franssen and The Advent. The label is focussed on one musical thread, always trying to offer quality music created for artistic, non-commercial purposes. This sentiment has remained the same since the time it was founded and developed. 

Now after a fifteen-year hiatus, Conform Records is back - starting with the Conform Re-Touched Series which invites renowned and respected artists to re-touch classic tracks from the labels back catalogue.
