Rejuvenated R&S Records continues with the second EP by Paula Temple who is still a rather new face despite of being a producer for more than a decade. Last year’s “Colonize”, featuring a Perc remix, pushed Temple into the awareness of the techno community and the new EP indicates sheRead More →
Update: Uwe Schmidt aka Atom™ performed at the Outline Festival in Russia in July 2023, in a country that launched genocidal war against Ukraine. Welcome to analog hell for a pure old school mindf***. After five test presses, Bunker NY has finally approved a tool that stands out in theRead More →
Having so far released on own label Dimensional Exploration and Abdulla Rashim’s frequently tipped Northern Electronics, Acronym follows the suit of fellow countrymen Andreas Tilliander aka Svaag, S100 and Varg, recent Swedish explorers on Semantica. Guided by a mythological interpretation of the Universe, Acronym opts for ethereal structures and tense loops. The titleRead More →
“Being Human Being” is a cross-genre collaboration of the French jazz trumpeter Erik Truffaz and Murcof, Mexican electronics producer. Not for the first time, as in 2008 they released the album “Mexico” on Blue Note and the same label features Truffaz’s numerous collabs with other artists. The sleeve art byRead More →
After impressive debut on Sähkö’s sub Keys of Life, Niko Pettersen aka Teersom launches own Basement Grey Records with barren tracks carried by wobbly percussion. In the EP named after Norway’s northernmost island Magerøya, the man from Turku in Western Finland, and the city of Sähkö Recordings, heads to frozen trails in the other side of the 60th parallel north. For “WaterRead More →
A number of new releases and some oldies in the new mix. On several occasions, I have been tempted to get a release of French jazz wizard Erik Truffaz and the same applies for Murcof, Mexican electronics don. “Origin Of The World”, the inaugural track of their collab on Mundo Recordings isRead More →

Even if an artist can live without doing albums, because the high metabolic rate of contemporary techno favours short formats for keeping the crowds going with new and new tracks. That’sRead More →
It’s a story of two mainstays of Irish electronic music and about a cooperation expected to happen. Sunil Sharpe is foremostly known as the boss of Earwiggle, an imprint for techno’s harder side, and his own infrequent releases have found a home at Works The Long Nights and Black Sun. Trensmat is an exciting label ofRead More →
“VéVé EP” by Hiss : 1292, a French-Swiss connection of Francois X and Opuswerk, is a good reason to pay attention to Dement3d Records. Two years after Polar Inertia’s outstanding “The Last Vehicle EP”, the label from Paris makes another strong statement to hit the nerve of the techno scene. The duo’s second EPRead More →
After machine-driven rudities on Bas Mooy’s Mord, D. Carbone is at it again with noisy amok tracks, very suitably on the Black Sun Records. The Naples-born co-owner of Repitch and 3TH Records drops four untitled cuts from the areas black as the night. Apart from occasional trancy pads in A1, my pick of theRead More →
