Tiefschwarz make memorable tracks without needing to resort to meaning, so lyrics can feel unnecessary and—worse—incongruous.

Curle has built a reputation for experimental quality, resulting in some of the most influential tracks of the last few years. While the sounds alone do not lend themselves to a single voice, the Curle aesthetic can be firmly grasped in this best-tracks-up-until-this-point 2-CD release entitled, So Far (So Good).

For his latest album, “Omega”, Detroit techno legend Robert Hood has rescored the 1971 science fiction film “The Omega Man”.

An exclusive FWD interview catching up with Dapayk Solo after he celebrates ten years of productions with his awesome Decade One release on his own Mo's Ferry label.

This straight up mix represents the freshest live material from the legendary German stalwart Dapayk Solo. Thick deep chords smash face first into sizzling hisses and thorough bass lines in this jacking techno slugfest. Complied live exclusively for FWD, this set celebrates over a decade of exceptional techno by Niklas Worgt (aka Mr. Solo).

Hrdvsion shows us his vision for electronic dance music in his new masterpiece Where Did You Just Go?. The title, which is a reference to Nathan's spaced out demeanor, is the same question that I find myself asking of the beats in these songs- and i love it.

Dino Sabatini’s two new EPs aren’t consumer products.

Kadar's Bitter is a solid deep house release from Marcel Knopf's young label Clap Your Hands. Using fat bass, swinging hi-hats and vaguely Latin percussion, Olene Kadar nails the Henry Street sound as if he was a Brooklynite from '97.

Guillaume Coutu Dumont is a very talented producer, his study of classical and latin percussion, jazz and electro-acoustic composition are apparent in his thoughtful control of rhythm and timbre, unfortunately his melodic sense and taste in vocalists push his tracks towards 'eclectic' lounge nonsense.

The Love Pressure EP does not want to be perceived as merely another dubstep brethren, but more like the musical incarnation of an older, funkier uncle. The eccentric garage/two-step obsessed uncle. There always has to be one in the family after all.
