Following an impressive start to life in 2023, Marcel Fengler’s masterfully curated HARDPROOF series stomps forward into the new year with another hard-hittng edition. Coming in hot with an expectedamount of minimal techno potency, the fourth instalment of IMF’s HARDPROOF VA series welcomes Sons Of Hidden, Rey Brennan, JANEIN, Mathys Lenne and Jay York with five creatively crafted original tracks.

The VA gets underway with Sons Of Hidden and ‘Forgotten Garden’, diving straight into a pulsating flurry of fat, rounded kicks and hissing hat grooves alongside its relentlessly pumping low-end drive whilst glitchy vox shots, sensual vocal accents and sinister samples give it an eerily tribal/primal feel before Ray Brennan’s ‘Defender’ brings more savage low-frequency power from the outset. Riding a reeling vocal sample from the off, its progressive peaks and troughs, filled with corrosive melodic components, keep things on full intensity for the duration.

JANEIN comes next with ‘Perseids’ taking things on a hypnotic trip in this tribal-tinged kaleidoscope of dystopian synths and mind-bending modulation before Mathys Lenne’s ‘Lisa’ delivers more stripped-back ominous vibes alongside harshened industrial grooves and a rolling bassline. The release ends with Jay York and ‘Halsey’, which features a distinct alien feel from the outset and offers another solid exhibition of narcotic musicality set to the score of stadium-sized beats and a mix packed with fatiened frequencies from start to finish.

IMF Hardproof VA04 is available to buy/stream from 2nd February 2024 via IMF.

I’m Zach an SIA Approved Security Patrolman and occasionally Door Supervisor, drummer and Gay 🤣! with a heart of a punk based in London! Have recently fallen back in love with EDM! This is due to going to the one and only Fabric Nightclub and other EDM venues around London, also getting into the rave scene and seeing a whole range of DJs! I’m sick to death of being in bands that go no where! so now the internet can have my so called music so I can show off and look back “I’ve done something with my so called talent” 😂all the best to viewers! (If there is any). Don’t expect knockout stuff I enjoy jamming and trying to make something worth listening to but my playlists might be better! 😆 I enjoy working out how the Circuit Track contraption works. Not expecting anything to come of it it’s just for my enjoyment and your suffering! 😁! I take inspiration from all genres of electronic music from the past to present day! 😎

Greek-born and based in Utrecht-Netherlands , Cloudz9r is trying to turn his music passion for techno into a new path . A SAE Amsterdam DJ course graduate, he’s now stepping into production and shaping his own hypnotic, raw and groovy sound — a lover of rough percussion, weird sound loops, and groovy energy when it’s needed to keep the whole thing alive. Still early in the journey, but with several
 mixes out and strong feedback so far, all inspired mostly by the underground Dutch  n' Berlin scene  and of course  with influences from worldwide artists ,
His next step is clear: bringing that deep, hypnotic pulse to his  music and DJ sets ,  to give to the dancefloor  for some tasty ear candies.

Techno event series & record label from Amsterdam.

Textures in tension. A percussive language. Ritual grooves shaped by pressure and decay. Each sound is carved, not placed — born from distortion, layered through repetition, guided by instinct. There is no structure, only flow. No melody, only force. A body-led experience where rhythm turns into trance, and chaos slowly finds its form.

My name is Kagan McMeekin and I am from Ballito/South Africa. I am a dj from KZN and have been djing for about 2 years now. I’m looking to go big in the industry and go somewhere with it
