“Ruud van Es had an old movie video tape titled ‘The Late Great Planet Earth.’ Inspired by this book and the movie, we crafted an album that was completely different from our previous work. It was refreshing to step outside the box once again and be creatively engaged in the studio.” - Peru aka Peter Kommers, Rob Papen and Ruud van Es

After a little hiatus, Pinguin Society comes with a selection of tracks by Peru from their album called The Prophecies. This was a project new to them, where they tried out different styles and explored new paths, not sounding like what they ever released before. Back in ‘93 it wasn’t exactly understood by the fans of their previous work, but now it seems to have gained relevance again. Previously only released on CD and now compiled on vinyl for the first time for number 003 in the Pinguin catalog.

Clubs, fes­ti­vals, the­aters, foot­ball sta­di­ums, muse­ums, beach­es, moun­tains and beyond — Peter Van Hoe­sen’s take on vis­cer­al tech­no has been pre­sent­ed world­wide in many dif­fer­ent set­tings. One cen­tral ele­ment always remains: a deep love and under­stand­ing of sound and all its influ­en­tial effects. Peter Van Hoe­sen runs Time To Express and Cen­ter 91. Togeth­er with Atom™ he is SYNC. — a live tech­no project focused on impro­vi­sa­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion. Togeth­er with Yves De Mey he is Sendai, a for­ward look­ing exper­i­men­tal out­fit with releas­es on Edi­tions Mego, Archives Intérieures, Kon­strukt and Stro­bo­scop­ic Artefacts. More than 10 years after his last album, Peter Van Hoesen unveils his new LP, titled "Towards the Center of Time and Surrounded by Spirits." The eminent Belgian producer, currently residing in Ho Chi Minh City, has selected the Brussels-based record label Vlek as the home for his new release, available in digital format and as a double LP, consisting of nine tracks of dense, obscure, and metallic techno. The album represents a masterclass in modern techno composition, culminating in the avant-garde piece "Twilight Static Dilemma."

Wrapped in Latex, in Berlin, Alone is the latest EP coming from Pletnev. Its four tracks trigger a dooming introspective look in an increasingly isolated, digital world, while simultaneously providing an extraterrestrial escape route.

The result is a cinematic, sci-fi safari through outer space in a futuristic hardcore vessel.

Remixing duties have been handed to a second collaborative effort: Rvshes (Logos and Db1), who in their Recombination Mix, carve, bend and reshape the original material into a rugged, angular, yet melancholic techno artefact.

Number 5 of the Network 23 remastered repress series is a split with 2 tracks of Crystal Distortion on the A-Side and 2 tracks of 69db on the B-Side. This release contains 4 pretty obscure tracks that have been very hard to find in the past but are now finally available.

After a long break, Rancel returns, unleashing the vibes on the inaugural vinyl release that packs the third chapter of the Spooky Wave series. This creation takes inspiration from the risky waves at El Frontón, a famous spot for big waves in Gran Canaria. At first glance, you can see the impressive challenge of riding those huge monsters. However, when Rancel jumped right into the bodyboarding session, he discovered something even more fascinating. – the experience of duck diving (going under) those massive waves. It brought unique underwater sounds, a mix of tension and adrenaline, and the calm feeling after a session that felt almost life-threatening. The result? A 4-Track EP that captures the intensity and high quality of this remarkable journey. Dive into a unique adventure where danger meets artistry, and experience the thrill for yourself!

Following on from his atomic single release, Phonk On The Dancefloor, Sofia’s Raredub now presents his highly anticipated full EP via Mutual Pleasure Records. Rare, Raw and Ready is a high-voltage introduction to the Bulgarian bass baron, a title that is fully justified with this latest venture of sound.

Raredub wastes no time in setting the pace for this project, as we’re thrown straight into the searing furnace with opening track Bamba. Having been road-tested by the likes of Kettama, KiNK, Skin On Skin and Raredub himself, Bamba, with its infectious vocals, gut-hurdling bassline and devious rave-stab melodies, is a carefully constructed weapon of sound, with proven devastating results.

We’re then brought to Juicy Fruit, which sees both Raredub and Mutual Pleasure’s head-honcho Partiboi69 lock palms to create a deeply sensual, highly contagious dance-floor anthem that sees the producer masterfully blend hissing hi-hats and a series of infectious rising chord patterns and melodies which, when combined, are certainly set to cause nothing but dance-floor destruction.

Since being played as the opening track to Partibo69 and DJ Heartstring’s stingzone set, L.L.L is a track which, with its mind-warping bassline,euphoria ladened vocals and pad-work, has enjoyed a growing sense of anticipation from listeners, eager for its arrival.

Snappy Chulo sees Raredub again use a series of piercing rave-stabs to drive his sound, which is partnered with a plethora of electronic experimentation and instrumentation, before the seismic bassline of Break Of Dawn see Raredub bring the walls and ceiling crumbling down; presenting a suitably fitting finale to this atomic attack on the senses. Rare, Raw and Ready brings Raredub’s prowess for production to the fore, as the Bulgarian producer conducts wild electronic experiments, bending genres and sound into form, to create a versatile, highly contagious and highly atomic serving of sound.

Reflex Blue debuts on Spectral Bounce with The Bleeps, a five-track EP that weaves a somber yet captivating late-night ambiance. Over a string of releases in recent years, Reflex Blue has been sculpting a distinct and evolving sound, blending the core minimal aesthetic of UK Tech House with influences from his homeland.

This homage to early 2000's Tech House captures its essence while infusing it with a fresh, pulsating perspective. The opening track, 'Dracula’s MPC', sets the tone with its club-ready elements: crisp drums, deep bass lines, and captivating vocal samples that command attention throughout. On the B-side, "Interlude" offers a glimpse into Reflex Blue’s large palette with its boppy and quirky breaks. It's a spectral record in every sense, making it the perfect sophomore release for the label.

Reflex Blue becomes the first artist to return to Tsol for a second EP, and he’s done it in under a year’s time. An extraterrestrial dancefloor ringer kicks things off, followed by a pair of stripped house traxxx. The icing on the cake is a potential b-boy anthem on the final digi-only cut. Nuggets galore!

Remotif is a fast-rising star with a sound being called 'trance fusion.' He makes his mark again to that end with a new one on Especial that brings more of his modern-day ethnic styles to the driving breaks of techno following outings on the likes of Coymix and Space Lab and sets everywhere from Fabric to Berlin's Warning parties. This one kicks off with 'U 15' which is a busy blend of shimmery timbres and sharp perc, spaced-out pads and psychedelic synths that are ever on the rise. More trance overtones define 'Glint's Pursuit' and 'The Elevated Place' is slick and sleek, ascending and always rising. 'The Sunken Place' shuts down with more slow and percolating dub mutations to round out a superb EP.

Atom is back with its 16th instalment, this time coming in hot with a debut release from Bristol based Rennz. Let him take you on a stripped back acid filled journey to the stratosphere at 170bpm.

The B-side features two remixes from Atom's roster. Micropulse dials back the intensity and twists the melody into a new and more progressive cut at 160bpm. Last, but not least, Dr. Silberman marks his return to Atom after ATF010's popularity and support from Pawlowski at Possession in Paris. His remix perfectly captures the essence this much loved style, produced with love and attention.

It's a must for any fan of classic German hard trance from the golden era of the 90s.

As always, there will be an additional 50 "Collector's edition" copies available direct via the Atom website that include the Atom label jacket inside a full artwork sleeve with a vinyl backed sticker.

Richard Wolfhouse comes through on Trule with his first release, Percussion Edits Vol. 1, three tracks indebted to 1970s African percussion records and 2000s minimal techno. Long, winding percussion workouts woven with modular synthesis and drum machines primed for dancefloors.

Two undeniable classics from Rico Puestel are back! Remastered in their truest idea of sound and for the first time on vinyl (AA1)!

Backward Futura, exploring the sounds and vibes of 80’s and 90’s electronica thru the lenses of the new Millennium. Third release courtesy of Rifeño. Cinematic breaks and tropical bleep, the soundtrack for the Axel Foley of the new millennium.

Raum...musik's 117th release welcomes Rob Amboule for his debut on the imprint. Cross-sectioning and gently blending the worlds of Minimal, Techno, and Progressive Trance, the three club-ready tracks of "Digerital EP" showcase a fresh side of a producer brimming with mature musical ideas and finely tuned production skills.

Ruton, consisting of Rub800 and Tonchius is back on their own label with a five-tracker as Continually marks their Fifth outing. Music ranging from hypnotic and trippy techno on the A-side to more melodic and harmonic house jams on the flip. Finally, a triphop flavored downtempo cut concludes the EP.
