We are happy to welcome a true classic to our label, none other than Jeroen Search, a true veteran with countless pivotal releases on the best labels out there. On this occasion, he has delivered four cuts of sci-fi techno, starting with the direct "Frontal Lobe", which boasts alien pulses, crispy hi hats and rides, and white noise galore. "Presentism" takes us paradoxically to the future: its synth bleeps, 909 classic beats and a lot of delay make it the perfect mixing tool. "Time Loop" is a journey into robotic landscapes, with a high pitched sequence, the usual Roland drum artillery and the funkiness and rawness of the early Chicago days. Rounding off the release, "Inward Force" paces down the beat, adds dreamy frequencies, resonant bubbles and an enormous tom on a spacey and floaty vibe.
The fourth instalment of Oscar Mulero's own Pattern Series is now here, introducing three tracks of futuristic techno for the collectors out there. The first cut is "Form", a flanged hypnotic exercise of functional techno, made up of a continuous line that grows to utter madness, spiced with resonant bleeps and noises and a subtle beat. Next up is "Textures". This rhythm-oriented grooved number relies on a relentless beat, with only subtle changes that make it the perfect functional tool. "Color" goes deeper with more floaty textures intelligently twisted at slow rates, again in a linear arrangement excellent for long mixes. As usual, this comes in a wonderful package with special translucent plate.
This is the first album Oscar Mulero has released under his own name, after two acclaimed LPs under the moniker Trolley Route. Well known for his skills as a hard-edged, raw and floor-orientated techno dj, his productions go far beyond, digging deep into the intricate landscape of intelligent techno, floating moods, reminiscent atmospheres, harmony and detail.
Grey Fades To Green is the affirmation of his maturity as a producer, using both hardware and software in the pursuit of a highly coherent and diverse album.
The concept is split into two parts: The Grey and The Green, each one with its own character. The first part is rougher and meant for the dance floor, although pays full attention to detail and complexity. The second part is quieter, has a slower pace and is best enjoyed at home.

The Grey opens with 'Under The Street lights'. An academic techno track with FM bass, heavyweight drum programming and an evolving structure that builds up to a melodic and mental ending with an unforgettable synth line.
'Taken To The Wrong Way' slows down the bpm a bit in order to get that fatter sound. Berghain style bass drum, clever 303 bass lines, complex synth arrangements and dark atmospheres. Watch out for the dreamy ending.
'Same Streets Different Shoes' starts with field recordings from many of the world cities he's seen during his world tour, leading to an abrupt hypnotic sinusoidal sequence on top of a 909 shuffled beat for the lovers of the techno of the future.
'Seleccion Natural' is pure Mulero sound. Powerful broken rhythms, industrial feel, power and crunchiness add a sweeping drone. A full-on analogue workout. Can you feel it?
A mature work that confirms Oscar Mulero as one of the most qualified studio animals on the techno landscape.
We finally welcome one of our favourite producers in full format: P.E.A.R.L. Lately, the Berlin-based Spanish producer has been making big noise in the scene, playing in clubs all over the world, including Berghain. For this release he delivers three original tracks plus two Oscar Mulero remixes, one in the vinyl version and an extra one on digital. Vice of Kings is the starting cut: energized kick drum, modular sequences and subbass pressure. The main sequence flows and changes filter and dynamics throughout the whole arrangement, transmitting an overall metallic EBM feeling. Mirada Muerta is more droney and deep, with synthetic sweeps coming from left to right, arpeggiated bass that evolves and mutates, lots of reverb and an exquisite arrangement. Oscar Mulero picks up the pace in his remake of Castaway. Uplifting tempos, delayed kicks, liquid stabs and sharp cabasas. Some crazy distorted noise appears in the middle, likely to produce massive damage in any proper sound system. Beyond the Past is based on flanged lines and has a deeper percussive approach than the previous tracks. Subtle pads run along the sequence and FM bell tones complete the list of ingredients. As an extra dose of Oscar Mulero, the digital version includes an alternative remix of Mirada Muerta. Crazy step-sequenced lines, dry kicks, reverberated hats and some acid drops to close the equation. The digital version also boasts Castaway in its original shape. The most experimental track on the release: subbass action, filtered textures, industrial broken rhythms and a feeling of angst.
