Datashader emerges from the shadows with a striking breaks- and bass-heavy debut release that challenges the fabric of our digital existence. Replete with a Dopplereffekt remix, it nods to the legacy of revered anonymous acts such as Scopex, Drexciya and Underground Resistance, pushing the boundaries of both electronic music exploration and its conceptual underpinnings. As a critique of the erosion of genuine human connection in the digital age, Datashader delivers a barrage of billowing subs, infectious electro, recontextualized jungle, and techno, serving as a poignant counterbalance to current dance floor-centric norms. It’s a contemporary anti-soundtrack that offers a haunting mirror to the societal costs of technological convenience. Learn More

Los Angeles-based producer Truncate - real name David Flores - originally celebrated the first decade of his eponymous label in 2021 by inviting two techno uber-heavyweights, James Ruskin and Luke Slater in his Planetary Assault Systems guise, to remix two tracks from his back catalogue. The results, from the powerful and percussive end of the techno spectrum, have been flying off the proverbial shelves ever since, and we're glad to report it's had another repress. The two original tracks on show are naturally formidable workouts. 'First Phase' is a dense and murky tribal techno stomper, while 'The Eve' is a jacking, drum machine Learn More

At what point does a new tool or technology become so integral to a process as to be intrinsic? And what happens if that technology starts to subordinate its user? By reflecting on these questions Machine Alliance, the new EP by Irish producer Kerrie on Tresor Records, connects her music to the sci-fi origins of techno and electronic music in general. With inspiration from classic books and films of the genre such as The Machine Stops, The Matrix, and Blade Runner as well as modern explorations in art and philosophy like Free Your Mind and Technopoly, the EP’s title takes on two opposing but intersecting meanings. One, based on the potential for machines to take over or replace humans, is a key idea of sci-fi that seems closer to reality with the arrival of machine learning and real artificial intelligence.

Earl Grey lands on Rua Sound with a killer four track EP of dark, smoked-filled cinematic vibes straight from an 80s psycho-thriller. After over a decade of stellar contributions to some of the most crucial imprints around, we are delighted that he's contributed to our series of releases. There's three stunningly original 160bpm jams here, each dripping with Earl Grey's defiant experimentalism front and centre; a trip through vast range of sample sources and non-repetitive detailed percussion. Stick around too as he drops the tempo for the punishing Death Rattle, a tune so out there and at home on its own terms that it defies categorisation but demands to be heard and played as loud as is legal. Stunning material from a producer who continues to impress and innovate in equal measures. Learn More
