Often the best music gets made when people get out of their comfort zone and venture into new territory. That is what I felt listening to these tracks from Ukrainian veteran Alexander Pavlenko. He has a long history in drum ‘n bass as Sunchase, and as Na Nich, you might have heard him on Rhythm Büro or Semantica, but this release reveals another side of him that we haven’t heard before.

The Karpati EP kicks off with ‘Manipulation’. A rolling sub and punchy drums propel the track’s momentum forward and make it dancefloor-ready. The sounds on top take inspiration from multiple genres for a track that finds a perfect balance between the deeper sides of both house and techno.

Next up is ‘Still There’, a stripped deep house tune where filtered percussion, pads and vocals alternate each other, flowing in and out of focus.

Title track ‘Karpati’, a hypnotic techno track, takes inspiration from the mountain region in western Ukraine, the melody reflecting a similar beauty as the Carpathian nature. Add Na Nich’s expert sound design on top, and the result is a deep and captivating trip.

‘Morning Habit’ rounds up the EP by slowing things down for a dubbed out house cut. Chords playfully bounce over the beat for a tune suitable for either the early or very late mornings.

@shdw-obscureshape launch new label 'Mutual Rytm' with a powerful eight-track V/A ‘Federation Of Rytm I’, featuring VIL & Cravo, Lars Huismann, Grindvik and more.

Favourites for many within today’s modern techno landscape, Stuttgart based pairing Marco Blasi and Luigi Urban, aka SHDW & Obscure Shape, continue to grow their profile and position as artists leading the current new wave of techno. Having launched their first label From Another Mind in 2014, releasing material from themselves alongside remixes from the likes of Rødhad, James Ruskin and Dax J, early December welcomes the arrival of a new project and a second imprint to the fold, Mutual Rytm.

Showcasing a new dimension of techno and electronic music, celebrating originality and innovation by combining timeless cuts from the past with cutting edge sounds of the present and the future, the new label will serve as a breeding ground for new artists alongside established talent and legends from the scene. Opening the imprint in style, the label bosses head up the first-ever release and the first V/A’ Federation Of Rytm I’ as they welcome a selection of new and established talent.

“Since the beginning of the global pandemic, we have been diving deep into the roots of our music and working on the aesthetics of our sound. That’s when we realised that now is the right time to start a new project which differs from FAM, in both musical and artistic direction.

The project will showcase a new dimension that aims to channel the authentic perspectives of both established and up-and-coming talents. With our new label, we want to give all artists the opportunity of musical freedom and expression of their versatility as producers. It is an honour to accompany the young artists on their careers, to see them grow and to help them in their development as musicians.” – SHDW & Obscure Shape.

Today, we premiere the track from Berlin-based techno DJ and producer Lars Huismann, as he enter the fray with the no-nonsense, snaking grooves with his ‘Hyper Dub’ track, already doing damage on dance-floors across Europe.

You can pick up Lars track 'Hyper Dub', plus the whole Federation Of Rytm via Deejay.de.

Premiere: A Strange Wedding - Quadra Morphing [US001]

A Strange Wedding kicks off the useless seconds catalog with 3 original tracks carefully produced and arranged to showcase his signature sound design at the cutting edge of futuristic techno-tribalism and minimalistic hi-fi trance.

First, Wormhole Breaker takes us on a journey through space and time, escaping furious psy-storms. Aqua Sourcing dives deep into space infrastructures, where resonating oily pipes made from an unknown alloy blend with the echoes of rusty excavating machinery drilling in search of precious liquid. Finally, Pressure comes as a restless ascending trip at full speed, reaching the climax of this hallucinatory journey through laminated space-time.

Wormhole Breaker re-emerges in two alternate realities, reshaped by Nadia Struiwigh and Patrick Russell. Nadia’s version is a mutating DnB roller designed to survive a hostile solar system, while Patrick’s distinctive rhythmic explorations make us swirl as if we were lost between those realities.

For about ten years, Uksimo has been performing under a different alias, focusing more on his live sets and releasing tracks that reflected his early, more hypnotic techno sound. Over time, his artistic journey naturally evolved, leading to the creation of Uksimo—a project driven by his desire to explore a deeper, more rhythm-focused side of techno. Today, his music is defined by his immersive, and layered atmospheres that create both depth and space. This approach can also extend into his DJ sets.

Uksimo hereby presents his latest EP, Reflection, produced in his new studio. With fresh sounds and energies, this EP blends melodies created with modular synthesizers alongside raw analog percussion and drums. Each track showcases Uksimo’s ever evolving sound with detailed production and a focus on texture and rhythms.

Reflection and Collide are musical pieces centred around strong, evolving melodies, while Point Zero shifts the focus to rhythmic intensity, featuring prominent 909 percussion and deep drum patterns. The final track, Tides, takes a more experimental turn with atmospheric, spacey and modular sounds.

Tracklist:

2.⁠ ⁠Collide
3.⁠ ⁠Point Zero
4.⁠ ⁠Tides

Forest Drive West (@forest-drive-west) coming off the back of a fantastic album on Livity Sound that showcased his hi fidelity take on bass, jungle and techno. Here he flips 'The Fifth Planet' into eight broody minutes of involving drum programming and groaning synth drones. A subtly uplifting tune thanks to the gorgeous pads in the background, but real bass heavy system music when it comes to the dance floors.
