Produced in his atomic basement Baan Studios downtown Rotterdam.

When David played it in a B2B with Tom Trago, Tom said are you kidding me, is this your track? A2 "Sorry ain't enough" is a musical tribute to the legendary Emmanuel Top from Belgium. Electro acid and a building up deep track. Expect some extra cut off frequency and resonance.

When it comes to dub techno, few names carry the weight of Basic Channel—the undisputed pioneers of the genre. While new releases from the legendary German duo have been few and far between in recent years, they've delved into their archives to unearth a gem: "Q-Loop." Previously only available on the BCD CD compilation, this sought-after track is finally making its debut on vinyl—essential for any serious Basic Channel collector. Clocking in at a mesmerizing 14 minutes, the A-side is a deep, immersive journey. On the B-side, fans are treated to the fluid textures of "Q1.2" and the ethereal atmosphere of "Mutism"—both appearing on vinyl for the first time. Learn More

LNS & DJ Sotofett drop a fierce two-tracker built for heavy warehouse rotation. The A-side delivers raw, bass-driven energy with jagged rhythms and a euphoric halftime breakdown. On the flip, Sotofett’s “Buzzy Breaker” evolves from minimal dub into a breakbeat-heavy trip with jungle flair. Both tracks are hypnotic, high-impact, and crafted for serious system pressure.

Since at least 2024, by our reckoning, shells have been having something of a moment in electronic music. Why, exactly, is anyone’s guess. Maybe it’s the unsettling feel of nautilus palps or the spiraling segments of ancient fossils—forms that seem to intuit the mechanized pulse of techno. Birmingham linchpin Surgeon (Anthony Child) taps into this fascination, transforming chirping sonic opercula into filter-fed 4/4 Borg-like entities. Despite the thematic suggestion, Child keeps his setup minimal: “For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years,” he says. The result is a stripped-back, live-style set—eight tracks recorded in single takes. Only "Dying" breaks from the beat-driven mold, offering a morose, mantra-like soundscape. Learn More

The Dutch electro-funk heavyweight returns, kicking things off with a remastered reissue of his 2000 classic I Don't Care, now landing on his freshly launched label, Dektreks. Learn More

My debut EP on Rupture LDN, ‘Shades of Rave Vol 1’ was created with my love of raving at its core. I love arriving early doors when the anticipation of the night ahead is at its peak, feeling like we’re on the edge of something new and thrilling. I love dancing when we’re deep in session, everyone has come undone and the power hours are in full effect - the energy is frenzied and wild. I love the golden hours towards the end of the night when the crowd has thinned and we’re exhausted but energised, physically empty but spiritually full. Learn More

An electrifying, high-octane ride through pulsating techno soundscapes. Side A launches with Surface Tension — a fast-paced, hard-hitting track driven by relentless rhythms that demand attention. Next up, 22-44 delivers a dark, sci-fi edge with rapid beats and cosmic textures that transport you to another dimension. Side B begins with Eyes Adjust To The Dark, a brooding, atmospheric slow-burner that could easily score a tense sci-fi thriller. Its intricate, evolving layers draw you in deeper with every turn. Closing out the record is Kviten, a percussive, high-intensity track that captures the sensation of hurtling through space at full speed. Learn More

Originally released in 1997 as a CD-only compilation, Subbase Sampler is finally available on double vinyl for the first time ever! This iconic collection captures the energy and evolution of the jungle and drum & bass scene, featuring a heavyweight lineup of genre pioneers. Learn More

retty Sneaky is a mysterious project shrouded in anonymity, known mostly for its banana peel logo and a series of self-released white label 12" EPs. This latest release arrives via Marionette and features Marseille-based artist Norman Levy, aka Koldd, marking his third collaboration with the project. The result is a captivating blend of mellow tones, tranquil atmospheres, and delicate bird calls—music that unfolds in slow motion, perfect for quiet, reflective moments. We’re thoroughly enjoying it. Learn More

Medellin producer Marck D (Charlie Escobar) is a new Planet Rhythm poster child, though his digital releasing repertoire is nonetheless colossal even without them, his many affairs including Illegal Alien, Phobiq and IAMT. Shocker it is, then, that 'Dune' is Escobar's first ever 12"; the record brings ultraphonic chord slurries ('Behind The Chord') and federated, intergalactic-dynastic codes of techno honour ('Atreides'), riding the sand-wormed thematics of the Frank Herbert sci-fi classic. 1. Behind The Chord / 2. Atreides / 3. Dune / 4. House Planet. Learn More

Khadim is a stunning reconfiguration of the Ndagga Rhythm Force sound. The instrumentation is radically pared down. The guitar is gone; the concatenation of sabars; the drum-kit. Each of the four tracks hones in on just one or two drummers; otherwise the sole recorded element is the singing; everything else is programmed. Synths are dialogically locked into the drumming. Tellingly, Ernestus has reached for his beloved Prophet-5, a signature go-to since Basic Channel days, thirty years ago. Texturally, the sound is more dubwise; prickling with effects. There is a new spaciousness, announced at the start by the ambient sounds of Dakar street-life. At the microphone, Mbene Diatta Seck revels in this new openness: mbalax diva, she feelingly turns each of the four songs into a discrete dramatic episode, using different sets of rhetorical techniques. The music throughout is taut, grooving, complex, like before; but more volatile, intuitive and reaching, with turbulent emotional and spiritual expressivity. Learn More

Spain’s ORBE makes a return to his self-titled label with another collection of immersive, linear techno that digs deep into altered states. Known for his ability to bend space and perception through sound, he delivers four tracks that transport the listener far beyond the dancefloor. Hypernova launches with urgency—its hazy synth trails and crackling textures riding atop thick, distorted kicks. Echo Drift ventures into more cosmic territory, drifting through an interstellar soundscape rich with sci-fi nuances. That futuristic thread continues on the Mills-inspired Halo, before the EP closes with Infinite Flux—a standout cut that fuses trippy synth modulations with punchy, jacked-up percussion. This is techno designed for total immersion Learn More

Sam KDC presents the first Auxiliary 12" EP of 2022, entitled Shedding Skin, a varied four-track odyssey that goes far and beyond the conventions of techno and 170 bass music. Learn More

Dutch label Universo Positivo returns with label head Jospeh Salvador and house legend Orlando Voorn. Salvador has been active since the 1990s and has worked under various aliases and labels, while Voorn is known for connecting Detroit techno with European styles, and together they find a perfect sweet spot between deep and soulful house. The filter-funk energy of 'Slap My Funk' kicks off, then there's the boogie-fried and low slung house of 'Every Man Loves', jazzy melodies and big breaks of 'Break It Down' and strident, steamy disco-house stomper 'So Well.' Learn More

Lake Haze delivers a powerful electro-techno experience with his debut on the Clone West Coast Series! This six-track EP blends deep, aquatic electro with Detroit-inspired techno, capturing the essence of the mid-'90s sound.
