Similar to our events and mix series, it is our goal to use the label as a platform for exciting, up and coming artists from within our community and beyond. Working together with our friend, the very talented Greek-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer Aroent therefore has been a real pleasure and something that felt natural from the get go. We hope you enjoy this wicked set of forward thinking club tracks as much as we do! Early plays by Ben UFO, Bonebrokk, E-Unity, Gramrcy, Opium Hum, Natureboy Gold, Yushh and more. Big ups to everyone supporting the record so far! Artwork by VOJD Mastering by Andreas [Lupo] Lubich
These run of releases on ‘Existence Is Resistance’ comes from the Legendary Proto Garage Record Label ‘Same People’, and see’s Persian & Long time musical partner DJ Texsta, repressing some of their most pioneering UKG E.P.s.
The Duo helped define the early sounds of UKG & the then unheard sound of Speed Garage, Dubstep & Grime. The Duo had massive success with records like ‘Dangerous’ & ‘Well Well Well’ which is included here.
Alongside this there’s a Special treat for the UKG Heads out there, with a previously Unreleased unheard Dubplate Mix of ‘Well Well Well’, which was recently unearthed amongst Texsta’s expansive record collection. This version is remixed by none other than the UK Techno Legend Nick Dunton under his secret ‘D Ross’ dj monika that he used back in the pirate days.
The much loved requested ‘Real Love’ gets another outing, originally being the B-Side to the classic ‘Feel Da Vibe’.
On top of all this Goodness, listener’s get treated to two absolutely killer bonus tracks from Dunton D–56M alias, ‘Homage’ which features label mate & Soul singer Decarlo (Survival Dub) in a tribute to the teacher’s of the Chicago sound & ‘Medication’ which is an inspired dystopian house chugger, with a stark warning for the New World.
These are for the ‘Collector’s’ out there: Super limited one time represses. Don’t Sleep!
Tammo (aka The Invariants) debut's on Nous'klaer Audio under his real name. Two building techno tracks for night-time workouts plus a live jam on the B2.
Deep, raw and real? Then NY*AK is the man! Andrew Scott has been releasing superb bottom heavy deep house groovers for many years on various top labels (like Local Talk, Paper or Ninja Tunes Technicolor). Now it’s time for Quintessentials! The A-side features „after the sun“, a deep, minimalistic and sexy groover, and „mind“, a blissfull and rich low BPM tune for an early morning come down. The B-side starts with „vice“, a proper Detroit track – bassline, strings, rims and snares - and finishes off with the funky and mellow „onions“. Deep, raw and real? NY*AK anytime!
A perfect combo is the second release for the catalogue of Kaiser's imprint K S R. The infamous duo 999999999 introduces the A-side with a 90s banger cut followed by Kaiser and Eric Fetcher's tr909 textures and hypnotics journeys. Different is the B-side, with Wrong Assessment meeting Conrad Van Orton and their huge and experimental designs.

Lovely lush emotive dancetracks full of cosmic! vibes In the opening track, a male soothing voice warns us for a gravitational collapse, and he couldn't be more right! Our new family member, INTIMACY, drags you from one musical dimension to another. His outerworld soundscapes and propelling drum rhythms make you doubt whether or not you're still on earth. Enjoy the trip!
Official re-release. Previously released on the nowadays impossible-to-get Blue Attack records, the short living sublabel of Bunker records releasing hardcore freeparty techno in the early to mid-nineties. 'T-Warp' is an archetypical track for this period: fast, subversive, dark and psychedelic. Re-mastered from the original source and pressed on a full side of 45RPM vinyl, it never sounded meaner before. Beam yourself up to the golden age when, while mainstream techno was turning into its capitalistic opposite, the truly free were kicking it in the dirt. It's time again.
Vinyl sampler with four tracks from Benjamin Fröhlich’s Rude Collection release including two exclusive new remixes by Swedish sunny boy Axel Boman and Brazilian wonder woman Terr. Plus the cosmic disco treatment of “Dream City” by Zombies in Miami and the percussion workout “Drums from Memory” - on vinyl for the first time.
Ellen Allien launches her UFO Inc. label with an EP that features the epic 'UFO' which has been on heavy rotation in her DJ sets all summer long. Between 'UFO' and the hard-hitting acid belter 'Korpermaschine' on the flipside, the 'UFO' EP perfectly captures the energetic hardware sound of Allien's new imprint, which will be dedicated to a rough and raw approach to contemporary techno.
For its fourth release, Harry Agius aka Midland’s Graded label has signed its first new act in the form of Montreal-based Solitary Dancer. With ‘Desire & Apathy’ being instantly familiar to anyone who heard Midland’s Essential Mix earlier this year, this eponymously titled release marks the debut of Solitary Dancer, as well as Agius’ second time stepping into the role of label A&R following Hubie Davidson’s appearance on Graded’s ‘Regraded’ sub-label last year.
Coming out of Amsterdam via London, Breach’s Naked Naked imprint has been a platform from the globally lauded producer can launch club-ready material both from himself and his peers.
Having previously released records from Maison Sky, J.Tijn and Viers - the next in an ever-reliable series welcomes back Church and 2020 Midnight Visions affiliate Lorca for his third outing on the label.
Hailing from Brighton, Lorca has garnered a following behind several extolled 12″s showcasing his intricate and spectral brand of UK Electronic music. His latest offering expands on this with three moody cuts that meld eyesdown melodies with sharp, lively drum structures.
‘Creta Kano’ kicks things off with ticking percussion scurrying over a rubbery, tape driven thud. Deft dynamics build depth in the mix as detuned and delayed synth lines interweave to stunning effect.
‘Malta Kano’ then sets more textures bubbling behind bright drums and powerful, melodic synth leads. The Alt version of ‘Creta Kano’ then brings things to a dark and purposeful close. Field recordings gently bleed in and out of focus while more glowing synthesis occupies the foreground. A warped sequence circles in towards the close bringing another insight into the chops of one of the UK’s most dynamic and exciting young producers to a close.
It was only late last year that PIFF Records dropped their first release ‘To Adelaide’, showcasing a wave of up and coming Australian producers. Now, the UK based record label welcomes Berlin-based Jesse Bru as the sophomore member, furthering the label’s ambition for musical exploration in dance music.
Piff Records continues to unravel its catalogue by calling on an artist slightly closer to home. Cardiff-based Harrison BDP adds to his already prolific discography with an EP that spans from mellow dub techno vibrations, all the way up to wide-open, rave-driven acid riffs.
Harrison’s A-side revels in a deep pool of soft bubbling synth chords, moulded to the backdrop of tight rolling drum work and occasionally teasing the wider, heavier energies to be found on the flip.
The B side ripples with ricocheting, delay-laden soundscapes, rock-solid drums lines, and nostalgic lead synth lines that make you glad that you’ve caught on to this talented producer early on in his promising career.
Still reeling from their sought-after Ross EP on the hugely respected Natural Sciences label, Warren Raww present the To Adelaide EP, the first release on the newly founded, Bristol-based imprint, Piff Records.
The Adelaide duo have produced a 12 that ups the energy of their July EP, whilst still delivering on their own brand of melodic, synth-laden house music. This time flanked by comrades Arthur Miles and Freddie Norwood, they add to the already high volume of talent currently emanating from Australia.
The A1, 9 On Court 3, plays on the more low-end driven aspect of Warren Raww’s production style, with an off-kilter bass line bouncing erratically over the top of the slightly swung, punchy percussion, topped with a spaced-out, saturated synth palet. Fans of Kyle Hall’s From Joy and the deeper end of Lobster Theremin will resonate strongly with Neighbours, a more relaxed, broken number, augmented with small piano runs and sewn together with a contemplative chord progression asking of the listener a more emotional nuance.
On Jessica’s Place, Arthur Miles strips down to lay the foundations for a tasty, warp-drenched number, complementing his gliding pads with a great selection of raw percussion and improvised synth lines, culminating in a combination of soft and rugged. Freddie Norwood rounds off the four-track EP with Parallel To The Sky, a continuation of the stripped back, broken beat approach. He slowly builds musical blocks bringing in more and more melodic hooks before affirming his dreamy canvas with a welcomed bassline that swims around the vocal sample before the final drum rolls bring the EP to a close.
Rolando Simmons finally gets his first full EP at Analogical Force, and there will be more!. SD series pulses with a beauty and squelchy character all its own, from its foundations up, and we here are excited. For part one, the swedish producer has assembled 5 tracks packed with melody and melancholy, aching pads and grooving, punchy bass. Written by the lakeside, winter will be summer.
Body Unknown is the new project formed by Kwartz (Pole Group, Order&Devotion, Horo) and Qestion (Order&Devotion).
Born from the concept of the duality of mind and body, the project explores states of detachment from physical presence, where the senses become distorted and control over thoughts or actions is lost. Lack Of Skin is the debut Body Unknown release.
Four sinewy pulses for tuned in dance-floors, each track takes an eminent angle to it’s destination, sending resolute signals through a contorted haze.
