arly support from Loefah, Tailor Jae, Breaka, Jay Carder & DJ Oblig After months of track iD pleas, Dubstep royalty Cimm makes his KAIZEN debut with this dark and dangerous 130 release. Street Kings is certified festival artillery. Tried & Tested for those Gully, Gun-finger "lick off your headtop" moments. The B-Side comes through with some restorative energy. Mellow grooves, floating pads, and bouncy UKG rhythms in Day 1 & It's Alright. Learn More

KZN005 sees Silas & Snare return to the Kaizen fold with the three-track 'Pressure' EP. Lead track 'Pressure' is a continuation of Kaizen's recognisably weighty bass-inspired sound, carried by hefty kicks and screwed synths after a lengthy cosmic build-up. A downtempo influence runs through 'Dreamscape', the floaty synths countered with skittering drums, while EP closer 'Whistle Blower' is packed with industrial percussion and creepy bleeps made for those heads-down, screw-face moments on the dancefloor. This EP comes three years after Silas & Snare's Kaizen debut, 'Biometric'. Gear up and get ready for some 'Pressure'! 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.

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

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

Originally released in 1993 on Carl Craig's Planet E label, this 12" single showcases the duo's early foray into the genre, blending hypnotic rhythms with atmospheric textures. 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

Big Hands, the moniker of Andrea Ottomani, presents a debut album that’s both immersive and dreamlike—a sonic journey that dissolves the line between electronic and acoustic worlds. Thauma was born from a stormy voyage across the Mediterranean and crafted using field recordings, tuned percussion, and close collaborations with a select group of musicians. The album features the haunting voice of Palestinian artist Bint Mbareh and the winding saxophone of Buster Woodruff-Bryant, weaving together deep emotion and rich textures. Modular synths meet bells, balafon, and bamboo drums to conjure a sense of mythical, rooted nostalgia—organic yet otherworldly. Learn More

Moving Pressure 03 lands as Rene Wise’s third release on his imprint. With a refined approach to rhythm and restraint, the artist once again distills techno to its purest form: hypnotic, percussive, and propulsive. Across four tracks and in line with the label’s essence, MP03 thrives on movement—low-end mastery meets tightly coiled grooves, while textural elements shift and evolve with subtle precision.
