Our next digital release is finally seeing the light of day. This time by Undefault, a newly discovered and very talented duo located in Moscow, Russia. These guys deliver top notch minimal techno with a systematic and club oriented design. Everything in their tracks works well together and is stripped down to a minimum. Dark themed tracks full of sneaky clicks and cuts emerging out of wrapped up field recordings and a variety of melodies dancing around trippy beats. Fragmented samples and layers of percussions haunted by creepy pads and occasional vocal cuts round up each track perfectly. All these carefully selected elements form a perfect symbiosis in a minimalistic, yet complex way. Always interesting and mind bending minimal straight for lovers of this genre. On top of that you get an awesome remix of ‘A2′ by Sebastian Koch, whose style fits perfectly to the work of Undefault! As usually, the full release will soon be available in your favorite download stores world wide.

We are thrilled to present you our next release by Martin Briano aka Marteaux, another great artist emerging from the depths of Buenos Aires, Argentina. His latest work with the title ‘Efluente EP’ is a well selected piece of bouncy minimal techno as we love it. Complex arrangements with repetitive movements that true fans of this genre will definitely appreciate. Each track on this EP tells its own little story.

Playful minimal with nicely chopped up rhythms inside layers of trippy samples and interestingly designed sound structures. Funky beats surrounded with a variety of interesting melodies, occasional vocal cuts and of course deep basslines. The whole package is very well produced and totally fits our expectations of quality music, without compromises. You can get your own copy soon in all your favorite download stores worldwide.

The year starts off with a new release straight from the 31337 management! Label head Stefan Klaas aka 0x7f presents his EP ‘As The World Burns We Watch TV’, a classy selection of tracks filled with ambience and mixed with a bit of tech-house and dub. 0x7f doesn’t follow any standards or trends and has a distinct feel for deep melodic tunes with lots of clicks and field recordings wrapped into complex minimalistic sound structures. 

While the title shows a critical view on parts of todays society, the EP doesn’t reflect negative thoughts and simply invites the listener to let the mind wander and thoughts flow. Along the 3 original tracks there are 3 fabulous remixes by Akiko Kiyama, Ditch and Sil from the Easy Changes duo. Akiko delivers a wonderfully unique remix of

After working with Pheek for so long, we are more than happy to finally publish a release by our dear friend Jean-Patrice Rémillard! The EP is a wonderful mix of spaced out minimal techno, dub and ambient, creatively arranged with a complex minimalistic structure. Step into Mr. Steger‘s Space Capsule and prepare to escape planet earth with our astronauts Pheek, Hubble and Marc Neyen. Captain Pheek sets course to explore the unknown and you are invited to follow our artists into new imaginary worlds full of playful ambience and lovely repetitive beats.

Put on your spacesuit and get yourself ready for a wild ride that starts with the first track called ‚Making Organic Mechanic‘, an abstract and trippy voyage for your mind. Beware of organic elements turning into mechanic pads while we travel through deep space.

Put on your dancing shoes girls and boys, we are back again with a marvellous release by Sven Laux! Straight from the Berlin underground Sven has been releasing previously on labels such as Archipel and lately received a lot of attention for his brilliant album on Microcosm Music. For us Sven delivers a trippy minimal album with a touch of glitch, ambience and lots of funky breaks and cuts. Smartly arranged tunes that seem to bend time and space, archived through twisting and deforming of samples wandering through a wave of delays, clicks and strange noises. All tracks are fun to listen to wether you are at home, or spacing out in the back of a small smoky dance floor. On top of all that you get a variety of fantastic remixes from Sul.a, who provides his own down beat / ambient interpretation of ‘Rectifiable Curve’, Marc Neyen who adds a funky groove to ‘Co-Elliptic Curves’ and finally Martin Teysera (Monoblock) with a driving techhouse remix of ‘Laws & Errors’. Now if that ain’t something.

Here we are back again with a stunning album called ‘Technocolor Tangle’ by DoubtingThomas. Each track is creatively forming itself around four to the floor beats and every element you need or could possibly hope for in this genre. If it’s deep bass lines, distinct melodies, abstract textures or rhythmic percussions. You can instantly hear that it’s made with professionalism, fun and love for the little details.

A great combination that totally fits our ideals of handmade minimal techno – sometimes raw, abstract, funky or dynamic and without factory presets. Once again music for the soul and the dancefloor alike. This is truely an outstanding piece of work and we are happy to share it with you now after months of hiding it on our harddisks.

31337records is back once again with a killer release by our Japanese friend Kaitaro Nakajima aka Kai. From bouncy minimal to shaking house, whatever he does, it just sounds right. Quality productions with a touch of style that simply amazes the interested listener. You will surely enjoy the well choosen field recordings, rhythmic percussions on top of repetitiv melodic elements and lovely static noises.

He cleverly adds vocal cuts and breaks just where they belong to give the tracks their final touch. Minimal and Tech-house mashed up with an experimental edge. Kai is no stranger in the scene and has previously released on labels such as Alphahouse, Revolver and Süd Electronic. To round it all up, Pheek did a great job as usually with the mastering.

Here we go, this is the second part of Franco’s release called ‘L’Homme Végétal’. Passionate downtempo tracks to space out and let the mind flow. These tracks invite to sit back and enjoy the soundscapes floating through the air, distinct from the usual, far away from the ordinary, but always classy and straight to the point.

Lovely melodies surrounded by a variety of percussions, effects and four to the floor beats, although this isn’t aimed for the dancefloor at all. Intelligent arrangements, minimalistic complexity and ambience forms into a timeless piece of art. Special music for special people. You can download the full release for free in 320bit mp3. Now who said, we ain’t nice?
