Another Swedish producer on Phont: this time it's Hertz. On A-side: two quite dark tribal techno tunes. The other side is more interesting with a warmer sound: first an energic track with little trancy influences and then a second track in a US deep techno style.

Harder than his previous production on Dominance Electricity, the new Elektroakust release will stand out in the German artist musical career. Fearsome fusion between oldschool funky elements and futuristic sounds, "Block Universe" declines four dancefloor and over boosted electro / techno bass cuts, far away from Sbassship usual minimal... read more

Two years after their "Taxi Simulator EP" on EMP, the Blotnik Brothers surface on Satamile. The opportunity for the Swedish duo made up of Martin Rasberg and Roberto Christiansson to introduce their latest productions in a four cuts format with singular atmospheres. On A-side, "Uranium Angels" and "Ergo" refer directly to Kraftwerk's works thanks... read more

The German producer brings four minimal techno / house tracks which all are based on the perfect combination of groovy rhythm + bassline, quite in the vein of Daniel Bell, minus the ultra minimalist side. Each track sets up progressively, with much delicacy, deep or grating atmospheres. Nice stuff: check it!!

Hard to classify Manasyt's sound. Not really electrocore, not really oldschool nor futuristic. Or may be all the styles at the same time. Whatever, this Bulgarian born artist now located in USA is one of the current new talents that a lot of labels would like to have on their catalogue. With an EP coming out soon on Roulette Rekordz, few... read more

A new international structure launched by German Harald Klotzberg and Brazilian based artists Nitrosound & Elton D. If "Daemonenfalle" on A-side offers incredible filtered vocals over a huge bass line, "Unknown Radiop" and "Ziegenpeter" on the flip explore with success the tribal side of techno thanks to powerful percussions. A linear and promising EP that augurs well for the future of this very young label.

Here is a new French label not really like the others. Ego Twister likes for example “do-it-yourself” and nice looking musical objects. As a proof this very first release: made with orange vinyl, this lovely 10" with funny track titles and pictures comes with a short description printed on a transparent paper and a badge! For the rest, the next... read more
