This track was born during a time of deception — fake elections tried to silence our voices, but the streets are louder than ever.
Now, as protests rise and hope grows stronger, this sound is my contribution to the movement.
We’re not backing down. We see through the lies. We will win.
To everyone out there fighting — this is for you.
Power to the people.

Fractured Future

It’s always a real treat to hear fresh material from Efdemin, and his latest project looks set to be his most ambitious so far. The techno artist is currently prepping for the release of his Naïf mix, a blend between album and DJ mix that’s soon to drop on Curle Recordings. 

Comprised of 29 unreleased tracks, Naïf features new material from the likes of Margaret Dygas and Steve Bicknell, as well as 10 new cuts from Efdemin. Efdemin and Dygas will both be joining us on the same bill in just over a week, so he sent over an excerpt of the mix featuring tracks from both of the producers. Richly textured with chugging drums and trippy vocal clips, it covers the same kind of immersive techno both artists are likely to bring to Farringdon on 17th March.

Tracks featuring: 

Laveline – Efdemin / Konrad Sprenger
Fony – Margaret Dygas
Not Now, Not Yet – Rhyw
Neuromantic – Gunnar Haslam
1Q84 – Savas Pascalidis

Efdemin and Margaret Dygas come to EC1 on 17/03: fabricldn.co/i3imfc

Pris - Truth

Holland’s Conforce rounds things off with plump low end throbs and sparse synth pulses reminiscent of Basic Channel, with gently shuffling hi-hats underpinning the murky yet warm textures and broad, heavily reverbed swathes of chord drama.

Delsin are pleased to gather together some of the highlights from the rich and varied catalogue of Manchester-based producer Claro Intelecto. From his earliest works on Ai Records through a prolific run on Modern Love to his more recent outings on Delsin, Mark Stewart has continually presented a vision of electronic music that uses the Detroit blueprint as a launch pad for his own distinctive strain of techno. Moving from elegant beauty to rabid intensity while grounded by a firm sense of rhythm, his catalogue runs deep and wide. This expansive compilation filters out select highlights from across his discography, and reframes them as a compelling overview of a truly distinctive voice in modern electronic music.

ME005 DREAMS

Today's premiere is a remix by the one and only Eric Cloutier. A "strong blotter" of acid, the track starts out with a powerful kick and steady, rhythmic percussion before a squelching acid line enters. In addition to high hats that sound like knives being sharpened and a perfect clap, the 9-minute journey takes twists and turns, switching up the energy several times, bringing out every single milligram of acid from that bassline. 
The lysergic belter remains interesting throughout despite its length, ensuring the crowd's attention will be maintained throughout when this finally gets a chance to be played out. The energy gradually drops down as percussion is alleviated and the track comes to an end.

The D105/f3L1X EP will be released on Bandcamp on July 10th.
