"The Traveller" is Pawlowitz and Ostgut-Ton's strongest album to date and one of the most organic fusions of techno and dubstep.

To continue the largely successful, “Alex Flitsch meets…” series, label head Flitsch is teaming up with Timo Maas and Santos, otherwise known as Mutant Clan for the latest installment out on Connaisseur Recordings.

James Teej follows up his full length on Rekids with Seven Day Mend, an EP that pulls what is arguably the best track from Evening Harvest and adds a sweet remix by London based DJ Spencer Parker.

Markus Suckut's Monad VI interprets the monad's primordial essence in textures that recall an investigation into the depths of sea.

Perc's contribution to Stroboscopic Artefact's Monad series is dark and droney, awash in analog delay and endless reverb. The EP travels a great distance in only four tracks, incorporating elements of dubstep and ambient into its finely textured techno.

This latest release on Nice Cat Records pairs the Chilean styles of Los Updates with the Venezuelan hailing Argenis Brito. While one may go in expecting a South American affair that hints at the specific flavor of Latin-flavored minimal house and techno that emerged last decade, there are plenty of other twists and turns on the EP that should leave fans delighted, and a little confused.

On this release series Deep Data brings us some lost vinyl tracks to help fill our hard drives. This installment features remixes of classic Breitbarth tracks.

This duo combines the synth hooks and leads of italo disco, with the production and structuring of modern techno music. The result is a catchy stripped down kind of electro house, and it works.

Traversable Wormhole anonymously tore up the scene in 2009 with a slew of vinyl only, futuristic techno releases. The project was recently revealed as NYC techno veteran Adam X's return to techno after time spent in the industrial scene - there is a classic quality to his work similar to Luke Slater's Planetary Assault Systems.

It’s been a busy year for Jonas Kopp, producing a fine EP on Curle and steadily representing his home country of Argentina, yet he thankfully found the time to present another killer EP with absolutely no filler.
