Minimal Techno: The Dark Techno Underground

feeling in a mellow mood, played live in front of my dog (she didn't think much of it)

The FLUFF (Cloud Chatter)

Kicking off a new concept for Palinoia, I'm presenting a previously unreleased Donato Dozzy track that I first heard in his infamous "DDKH" mix from many moons ago. I regularly harassed Dozzy about this in hopes he had plans for it, but after almost a decade of being questioned he told me to just put it out myself, provided I was doing a track for the B-side.

Knowing full well I couldn't make anything nearly as gorgeous as Donato's underwater techno groover here, I decided to go for something a bit more upbeat and party friendly, all the while as wiggly as the masters' contribution.

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/RSPX18

Renowned techno artist Jon Hester returns to Rekids Special Projects with a thundering fourtrack release, aptly entitled ‘Momentum’.

Since his previous Rekids appearance, the Berlin-based Minneapolitan has continued delivering a steady stream of club ready cuts on labels like Transmat, LET and Deeply Rooted. Following a busy summer playing at the likes of Rex Club, Tresor and Hï Ibiza, Hester now returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects techno imprint in fine form.

‘Accelerator’ opens with solid, overdriven kicks, deep chords, electrifying synth patterns and saturated claps followed by ‘Beatwave’ which features rhythm-led vocal sampling, upbeat Arp stabs and sparking cymbals. On the flip, ‘Zoned’ thunders with low-end frequencies, emphasised by a flying groove with snappy hats, subtle claves and white noise hits when to finalise ‘Part 4’ bounces with distant congas and tribal percussion, tight hi-hats, floating pads and a punchy kick.

One of Drumcode’s most indispensable talents, Tiger Stripes blesses us with another classy two-tracker.

In the last 11 years Mikael Nordgren aka Tiger Stripes has appeared on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode and Truesoul labels a total of eight times. The Swede has a masterful command of his machines and is an inspired sound designer, imbuing his productions with bags of creativity and cross-genre futurism. His last outing on DC ‘Into Isolation’ was a colourful five-piece of super-charged techno, reinforcing the breadth and strength of his studio work. Nine months on, we have another offering to add to the canon.

‘Jack The Garage’ is a fast and furious leader, mixing up jacking dancefloor functionalism with raw and distorted sounds inspired by garage rock bands such as The 13 Floor Elevators and The Stooges. ‘Back in Black’ draws influence from unlikely sources, Nordgren mining latent inspiration from the smooth synthesized sounds of Travis Scott after his daughter introduced him to the hip-hop maestro. The resulting cut is a slick slice of electro-fuelled techno, with as many sides as a rubik cube, as bass stabs, muffled vocal effects and distorted guitar stabs keep things interesting throughout.

The gang of four that is Selección Natural (@oscarmulero, Reeko and the @exium duo) have a new waxed weapon in their arsenal and as expected, it bites. 

The release date of this record, was supposed to be the celebration of @polegroup's 10th Anniversary with a massive weekend party at Tresor Berlin... but it is not. Things have made a twist and as you may have perceived there is not much to celebrate together, physically, as the label likes celebrations to be done. There will be days to celebrate whenever we can gather together again. In the meanwhile enjoy this slice of vinyl.

Three slices of complex futuristic beats with no mercy. As in previous sound exercises, they have collide in the studio, each one with his preferred tools, recording bites, mutating audios, twisting frequencies, and this is the result: "MG009" is a mechanical tool constructed over a concrete drum architecture, surrounded with bleeps, distorted drones and cutting hi-hats. All the elements come and go wisely creating an obsessive atmosphere.

Peter Fern & Siasia - Stettin (E.F.G. Remix)

Polish, rather new to scene, but extremely talented project Random Sequence originally from Gdańsk debuts on Korpus 9 with an outstanding in every sense EP called Nitrogen Capsule. One by one all five tracks are composed into a complete masterpiece which consists of both action thriller and space adventure and combines into breathtaking science fiction genre. Beginning from daring Vocal Tool we can identify confident hard signature kick wich will follow us throughout most of the release ending with Off enriched with bassy percussion and singular mysterious string pad on the top. A bit of cosmic obscure drama awaits us in Y567 smoothly shifting to Departure wich moves deeply into hypnotic farewell ambience.

Another perfectly assembled EP from Korpus 9 worth having as a main course.

One of the many benefits to @senso-sounds ’s prolific release schedule is the exposure it allows to new artists alongside the more established names in the scene. 

Here, Lars Kohl, aka BOHO, drops his first EP for Oliver Huntemann’s label, following on from a handful of releases on his own Jannowitz Records imprint. 

The "Ungeduld" EP (‘impatience’ in English) showcases the Cologne-based DJ and producer’s talent for no nonsense dancefloor primed techno. 

"Skip The Line" kicks off with an urgent groove welded to a gnarly, growling bass synth. Other ravey hits and blips punctuate the track giving it a hardcore edge that yearns for for sweaty clubs. 

Title track "Ungeduld" has a similar restless energy, but the groove is a slick, pared-down beast that underpins more unruly synth blasts. Last up is "Mint," a slightly deeper groove that exudes a euphoric malevolence through tightly controlled tension and its eventual release.

Ungeduld EP

Premiere: BOHO "Skip The Line" - Senso Sounds

Pre-order: https://drumcode.ffm.to/dc232

Label: https://soundcloud.com/drumcode
Release date: 12 October, 2020

https://soundcloud.com/luigimadonna returns for his first Drumcode EP in five years, teaming up with fellow Neapolitan and label favourite https://soundcloud.com/robertocapuano.

We got our last taste of the creative synergy that marks Luigi Madonna and Roberto Capuano’s friendship when the pair dropped ‘Limitless’ in 2017, a brilliant addition to A-Sides Vol.6. Prior to that Luigi hadn’t dropped a cut on DC since 2015’s hook-driven ‘Magic Land’, while Capuano stands as one of the label’s most infallible contributors, last year’s ‘The Walker’ EP was typically impressive. 

Crafted between two studios in a pre-COVID-19 world, the three-track conceptual EP opens with ‘Mad World’, as masterfully layered industrial hits and rides depict it’s narrative, while a pulsating melodic lead ensures heavy impact. ‘System Alert’ is inspired by the destructive effects of climate change and the track’s composition mirrors this malaise, as a pitch-bending synth elicits rhythmic chaos alongside Luigi and Roberto’s deft drum work. ‘Headquarter’ is steeped in drama and cinematic charm, backed by a distorted vocal sample, stormy oscillating synths and a sharp percussive backdrop. 

Tracklist:

1. Luigi Madonna & Roberto Capuano – Mad World
2. Luigi Madonna & Roberto Capuano – System Alert 
3. Luigi Madonna & Roberto Capuano – Headquarter

Premiere: Luigi Madonna & Roberto Capuano - Mad World

30 Years ago, the Studio Project INTERACTIVE was born. Jens Lissat had met Ramon Zenker before this band-project already. Jens was a resident DJ in a club in Krefeld, the legendary Königsburg. He left the club to work for another club, but after a few months he returned and offered the owner to release a track, just for the Königsburg. Jens and Ramon produced The Techno Wave and the name for this band-project was the beginning of history. INTERACTIVE became famous in the Techno Circuit.

We celebrate the 30 Years jubilee with a Remix Package. Drumcomplex @drumcomplex is the man of the moment in the Techno League and you can hear why, in his interpretation. Jens Lissat @lissat teamed up for a Remix with his studio partner Christoph Pauly and their remix is makin' you going nuts. The third remix is coming from the italian techno star producer SISKO ELECTROFANATIK @siskoelectrofanatik , with a powerful arp-sequenced version.

Let's celebrate 30 years of TECHNO WAVE!
