Romanian artist Tao Anra synthesises her hyperactive but sensitive personality into her music, playing from high energy to dark and groovy Techno. Her musical journey began in The Netherlands during her university years, following up with releases on 7Rituals, Kuukou Records and Kaligo Records. Tao now brings her ever-maturing Techno production to Victor Ruiz’s increasingly popular VOLTA imprint, with Ruiz himself joining Andra for a standout remix on ‘Gracias a la Vida’.

Kicking off with the title cut, ‘Gracias a la Vida’ dives straight into a flurry of racy grooves and blistering electronic musicality. Oozing with a blend of psy-inspired techno flavours from the outset - its fast-paced drums and driven hat sequences pave the way for an expanding platform of rifling bass notes and gritty synth leads that keep the energy at an explicit premium throughout. It would be criminal not to mention the captivating vocal topline that rears its head beautifully at the track’s most atmospheric intersections, making it a truly unique piece of music, capable of turning heads and capturing hearts on any dancefloor globally.

Victor Ruiz caps off the release with an emphatic spin on the original, electing a more traditional techno feel built around commanding kicks, sizzling percussion and ethereal nuances from start to finish. An archetypal stadium-sized peak-time bomb from Ruiz, bringing robust rhythms, cinematic-level musicality, celestial layers and another display of that absolutely stunning vocal.

Panamanian DJ/Producer Bruce Zalcer is undeniably one of South America’s most exciting Techno talents. With an impressive catalogue of releases on labels like Tronic, Odd Recordings, Kneaded Pains, Riot Recordings and many more, Bruce is primed for his debut outing on Victor Ruiz’s increasingly popular VOLTA imprint. His two-track “Catharsis” EP, set for release on 27th October, gives us another worthy slice of Zalcer’s dynamic production skills, showcasing an immense depth of creativity.
Kicking things off with the title cut, “Catharsis” sports an immersive blend of celestial musicality and urgent Techno rhythms. Firm drum grooves and hissing hat sequences drive the central core of the track as it bleeds in and out of several atmospheric soundscapes and climactic crescendos to carve out a corrosive and intense acid-tinged peak-time bomb.
Next up, “Truly Yours” completes the release with another masterful display of captivating arrangement and mainstage energy. Emphasising its intricate core of layered pads, sirenic vocals and raw synth lines, its continuum of rolling tonal percs and weighty beat structure bring everything together to complete an imposing VOLTA debut for Zalcer.

Lisbon's VOLTA continue a slew of formidable dance tracks with a 3-track EP from Buenos Aires producer TimiR. Across releases on Gravity Records, Viventem and Renesanz - TimiR has already developed a clear and distinctive sound characterised by serrated bass synths and highly expressive percussion. His 'Dare' record lays out 3 cohesive by singular productions that build on this trope as they work to blend elements of Psytrance and Techno to striking effect.

The title track kicks off - here TimiR weaves an immersive tapestry as a menacing low end generates a kaleidoscopic tunnel while clever dynamics have LFO signals flicking sparks across the floor. Sharp, percussive breaks burst out and seize attention as they work to punctuate the flow of energy while a swooning vocal tops off an arresting production.

'Phantom' then follows up with sturdy sub work which lays a burly foundation for another dose of expressive flair from TimiR. More spectral vocals adorn a thorny branch of sound braided with explosive fills, raw, palpable synth signals and a warped melody that works as the driving force of the track.

'Switch' then finishes up with a clinic in dramatic sound design. Heavy subs and an arsenal of low-mid synths cascade alongside racing drums, forming another intricate base layer for a melody which blooms out with lucent colour, bringing another VOLTA coup to a close.

Berlin-based producer Kaufmann unveils her powerful new single “Mother” on VOLTA Records. This evocative release is accompanied by two standout remixes from Tao Andra and Mila Journeé, each bringing a distinct vibe to the energetic original.

“The vocal is undoubtedly at the centre of the track,” Kaufmann explains. “I took inspiration from a well-known System of a Down track and placed the mother at the heart of the story. It's actually my own voice, which I processed with AI, among other tools. I wanted to combine the energies of my favourite genres: techno with some psy and a pinch of metal."

Tao Andra’s remix takes the track into hypnotic, tribal-influenced techno terrain, while Mila Journeé lends her signature melodic touch with a cinematic, driving reinterpretation.

“This is my second time releasing with VOLTA Records,” says Mila Journeé. “The first was a two-track EP that did really well, and now I'm back with a remix of a really cool track by Kaufmann, at the invitation of Victor, a great friend and production partner who I love working with. So it's all about good music, friendship and good vibes!”

Raw, Catchy & Hard Pulsing - Time To Bang To The Beat!!

I Need Acid

Uwe war ein einzigartiger Typ. Er lebte in einer kleinen Wohnung im Herzen von Berlin und hatte zwei große Leidenschaften: 🥦und Techno. Jeder, der Uwe kannte, wusste, dass seine Wochenenden eine exzessive Mischung aus basslastigen Beats und dicken Rauchwolken waren.

Eines Samstags, nachdem er seinen Lieblings-Joint gedreht hatte, beschloss Uwe, dass es Zeit für ein neues Abenteuer war. Er hatte von einem geheimen Techno-Rave gehört, der tief im Wald stattfand. Der perfekte Ort, um seine beiden Leidenschaften zu kombinieren. Also schnappte er sich seine Bong, zog sein schrillstes Neon-Outfit an und machte sich auf den Weg.

Als Uwe im Wald ankam, fand er eine bunte Menge von Rave-Enthusiasten, die bereits zu den treibenden Rhythmen tanzten. Die DJs drehten die Platten, und die Lichtshow war so intensiv, dass es fast so aussah, als ob die Bäume selbst tanzen würden. Uwe war begeistert. Er setzte sich auf einen Baumstumpf, zündete seinen Joint an und inhalierte tief.

Plötzlich erschien ein kleines Eichhörnchen vor ihm. Uwe, der in diesem Moment von einer besonders intensiven Welle der Entspannung übermannt wurde, starrte das Eichhörnchen an und fragte: „Hey kleiner Freund, willst du auch mal probieren?“

Zur Überraschung aller nahm das Eichhörnchen den Joint mit seinen kleinen Pfoten und zog einen kräftigen Zug. Dann begann es, im Takt der Musik zu tanzen, als ob es schon immer ein Raver gewesen wäre. Die Menge jubelte, und das Eichhörnchen wurde schnell zum Star des Abends. Es war der beste Tänzer auf dem gesamten Rave!

Am nächsten Morgen wachte Uwe auf einer Waldlichtung auf, umgeben von leeren Wasserflaschen, leuchtenden Armbändern und schlafenden Rave-Besuchern. Das Eichhörnchen saß immer noch neben ihm und hielt den Rest des Joints. Uwe grinste breit und sagte: „Das war die beste Nacht meines Lebens.“

Von diesem Tag an hatte Uwe immer einen kleinen Vorrat an Haselnüssen dabei, wenn er zu Raves ging. Schließlich wollte er seinen neuen Freund nie enttäuschen. Und das Eichhörnchen? Es wurde zur Legende in der Berliner Techno-Szene, bekannt als DJ Nussknacker.

Und so lebte Uwe glücklich weiter, immer mit einem Lächeln auf den Lippen und einem Beat im Herzen, während er die perfekte Balance zwischen🥦 und Techno fand.Alle Mixe sind spontan, nie geplant.
