With the comeback of his moniker, Polyvinyl, UMEK goes back to his hardgroove origins. In addition, he is starting a new record label called 1605 GrooveSector, which will specialise in raw techno and hardgroove.

Slovenian-born UMEK has a career that dates back to the 1990s, when he was among the musicians that helped create and pioneer the first hardgroove movement. His iconic Recycled Loops project produced a number of groundbreaking songs that shaped the modern genre.

UMEK’s music has changed throughout the course of his three-decade career to reflect contemporary styles, and he has continued to be one of the most significant techno artists. His career is coming full circle with the return of the Polyvinyl pseudonym, and he is once again embracing the improvisational production style that once brought him international recognition.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the title track “Mechanically Intensive” with a rolling bassline and filtered percussion. Jerking synth stabs are added to boost the offbeat energy, but it’s the timeless, tribal and schranz-like rhythms that create the throwback, dance floor burning sound.

Chris Liebing returns to his CLR with two-track EP.

Chris Liebing comes back to his CLR label this April with the ‘Phantom Rider’ EP, already supported by Daniel Avery, GiGi FM, Jon Hester, and more. The first track, ‘Kaizen’, doesn’t hold back - pounding drums, cavernous dub chords, and a razor-sharp snare-laden groove all play a part in this peak-time offering. Liebing’s ‘Wailer’ completes the package, continuing with more rough and raw rhythm and wonky, unfiltered 303 lines, making for a fantastic follow-up to his acclaimed version of Emmanuel Top’s acid techno hit, ‘Turkish Bazaar’, which closed out CLR’s 2024 and has stayed at the top of the Beatport Techno charts throughout 2025.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as Risa Taniguchi, The Southern, and Klint.

Arcane Records is in the habit of delivering the most cutting-edge beats from its pool of accomplished global talent. Bolstered by the A&R commander-in-chief, Eli Brown the imprint has become an outlet for fiercely discerning artists producing the most earnest, diligently crafted electronica.

Irish born, Spanish raised artist, SIAN who now calls Miami is home, where he runs the long-standing Octopus Recordings has become synonymous for his darker, intricate techno, whilst remixing artists including Hi-Lo/Oliver Heldens and Deadmau5, he collaborated with rave pioneer Hiroko Yamamura in on two Octopus tracks ‘She’s Evil’ and ‘Black T-Shirt’, but this new release marks both of their debuts on Eli Brown’s Arcane. SIAN has dived his creative mind into the world of photography, where his work can be bought at Saatchi Art.

Dubbed by Mixmag as ‘One Of The Top DJ’s Who Defined 2024’, Hiroko Yamamura has based herself in Chicago for the last 2 decades, a melting pot of inspiration for her dynamic production style of techno, house and electro, blending jacking and rave elements. Whilst featuring in their coveted LAB Ldn live stream and a Boiler Room which went viral, she claims she’s not a legend of Chicago, just a raver and an unpretentious music lover.

A lot is to be expected from their first release on Arcane, and the two tracks do not disappoint, with title track ‘Frequency Moves’, SIAN and Yamamura deal a swift gut-punch of gritty minimal techno. Filleted into portions of weighty bass and swelling synth rolls, its narrative driven vocal nonchalantly croons as metallic effects clang aside mellow percussion making for a heads-down, shoulder roller.
On the reverse, ‘Demons’ is methodical and more melodic, offering a beat that initially chugs along in a focused state of hypnosis. Out of nowhere, lyrics then begin to penetrate its undulated surface to beckon a dark ensemble of rave ready fills and grimy melodics turning the energy levels skywards whilst leaving no room for ambiguity.
SIAN & Hirkoko’s ‘Frequency Moves‘ will be released on Eli Brown’s Arcane on the 2nd May.

Jacopo Susini - Vulcano (JAM084) PREVIEW

Indira has enlisted the trusted services of Dubfire, Marco Faraone and Flug for the killer 6th instalment of the labels creative DUO release series, out on Thursday the 14th August.

At the pinnacle of his games for 30 years, Dubfire needs little introduction. A Grammy winner and maker of classics such as ‘Emissions’ and ‘Ribcage’, the SCI+TEC label founder, and other half of the legendary duo ‘Deep Dish’, Dubfire will make his ARTCORE debut with his long-time collaborator Flug, before joining Indira for her residency at Hï Ibiza on 5TH September joining Cera Khin and Gray Cosmo.

Dubfire and Flug partner up on ‘In Trance’ to deliver a pacy, chugging composition fraught with cosmic tension throughout. A brewing concoction of galactic undertones and driving grooves, the track embodies the heady trance spirit present in much of ARTCORE’s back catalogue whilst still retaining the darker styles of its creators.

Prolific producer Marco Faraone is credited with over 50 releases on a host of key electronic record labels such as Rekids, Drumcode as well as his own UNCAGE imprint. However, his contribution to the forthcoming DUO release will be the first outing for the Tuscan-born house and techno maestro on Indira’s ARTCORE. His opening track, ‘Killa’ stalks into existence in cold and calculated fashion. An undeniable creeper, it features a dark low-end that methodically develops amidst a sparce soundscape of marching drum patterns, churning bass chords and simmering pad effects.

Marco’s second track on the EP titled ‘Artcore Sessions’, pays homage to the label’s ethos. Employing the vocal talents of H.A.N whose sonorous vocals bob along upon swells of shadowy synth lines, choppy percussive drive and kick heavy breakdowns.

Flug first appeared on ARTCORE in 2024 with his track ‘Racing Cars’. That same year, the Argentine released Magma EP with Dubfire marking the pair’s first collaboration and precursor to their debut DUO release. In August, he also made his debut for Indira’s residency at Hï Ibiza playing alongside Ben Klock, Clara Cuvé, and Nuke.

The second collab track with Dubfire, which also closes out this talent heavy EP comes in the form of ‘Weightless’. They both fuse tensely wound rhythms, off-kilter chords and serene pad effects to concoct a breezy, gravity defying composition that showcases both producer’s ability to craft nuanced electronic music to rival that of the more pummelling.
