DJ Gizzard opens with “Jitter Analysis,” a sharp mix of analog funk and rolling bass. LNS & Sotofett follow with “Electrolium,” a cosmic trip of vintage rhythms and whistling synths. LNS goes solo on “Work Them,” a crisp slice of robotic electro-funk, before Sotofett closes with the gritty, p-funk-infused “Out of Place" Learn More

Manchester-based, Irish-born artist Kerrie returns to James Ruskin’s Blueprint label for her third release, further refining her craft in powerful, meticulously engineered techno. A mainstay of the UK scene and now a resident at Berlin’s iconic Tresor, Kerrie channels her deep roots in record store culture and over a decade of hands-on hardware experimentation into tracks that are both intense and emotionally resonant. Act Of Resistance blends dub-inflected atmospheres with jagged industrial textures, while Validation drives forward with a relentless, hypnotic momentum. On the flip, In Your Orbit unfolds with anxious, spiraling energy, and Natural Order builds slowly, underpinned by intricate production and layered rhythms. Grounded in classic hardware aesthetics but shaped by a bold, personal vision, this is immersive, purposeful techno built to last. Learn More

Its purpose, in his own words, is “to celebrate the uniqueness and character of individuals or artists, who stand apart from others of the same” Learn More

Scottish producer Milton Jackson returns to Freerange with four club-rooted collaborations that bridge Glasgow's punch with Detroit's finesse. It's a new release that brings Brian Kage on co-production and mastering, HazMat Live on synth duties, and Jon Dixon supplying characteristically sharp keys i and the results are as warm and robust as you'd expect. 'Fire Emoji' opens with a stripped-down, pressure-cooked club tool: all booming low-end, echoing vocal wisps and crisp arrangement. 'The Sunsetters' is the emotional peak, built around a fluid synth solo from HazMat Live and buoyed by plush pads and 909 accents. On the flip, 'Wanna C U' nods to both sides of the Atlantic, fusing US house depth with the swing and snap of UKG. 'The Shine', featuring Jon Dixon, is the most musically rich of the lot i gliding chords, broken grooves and cosmic jazz touches make it a standout closer. Rooted in deep house but flexible in feel, these tracks feel fully lived-in: tactile, soulful and beautifully engineered. Four cuts that do damage without shouting i a smooth burner from a seasoned crew. 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.

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

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
