Tracklisting
A1 Feph - Kinetics
A2 Feph - Reasons Unknown
B1 Feph - Low Immortals
B2 Feph - Settlement Research

Sales Note
Miami-based producer and co-owner of the label Zosimos, Feph has been making moves amongst the techno community with her deeply psychedelic modular based techno for the last couple years. Invited to Palinoia based on the few releases I had heard from her, I pestered Feph to send me demo after demo, working our way up to the four tracks that comprise the tenth release on my label, "Kinetics EP". All four tracks are mind-bending short stories - dark and brooding, yet playfully buoyant, tunneling through your brain and taking you on a vivid journey. More

Tracklisting:
A1 JXTPS - Quetzal
A2 JXTPS - Interzone
B1 JXTPS - Perimeter
B2 JXTPS - Scorpion

Sales Note
Australian producer JXTPS brings his deeply heady and unquestionably groovy techno to Palinoia with his Hypogean EP. Having previously released on Planet Rhythm and Voodoo Down (and sending me other tracks for a few years now), this four-track vinyl is purpose-built to melt brains and move feet on all dancefloors. While the A-side keeps it largely functional, funky is the star of the flipside. More

Tracklisting:
A1 Donato Dozzy - Aquatica
B1 Eric Cloutier - Ekpyrosis

Sales Note
- 2023 repress -

Kicking off a new concept for Palinoia, I'm presenting a previously unreleased Donato Dozzy track that I first heard in his infamous "DDKH" mix from many moons ago. I regularly harassed Dozzy about this in hopes he had plans for it, but after almost a decade of being questioned he told me to just put it out myself, provided I was doing a track for the B-side.
Knowing full well I couldn't make anything nearly as gorgeous as Donato's underwater techno groover here, I decided to go for something a bit more upbeat and party friendly, all the while as wiggly as the masters' contribution. More

Tracklisting:
A1 Quelza - Amalgame
A2 Quelza - Songe
B1 Quelza - La Mina
B2 Quelza - Sar

Release Note:
Unapologetically cinematic, intricate, full-on bangers here to melt your brains - Quelza is an absolute monster in the studio and generated four glorious cuts on this piece of wax. This collection of tunes from the Frenchman are primed for your fullest of dance floors - both sides of this EP show a side of techno's sonic future, and in keeping with the ethos of Palinoia this is a proper home for his vinyl debut.

Tracklist
A1 Andrew Tighe - Spirits
B1 Andrew Tighe - Beyond
B2 Andrew Tighe - Cognition

Release Note
"Palinoia returns in 2021 with an EP I've been eager to release for ages now. Andrew Tighe is an unknown name to everyone, but his ear for quality shows a wisdom that extends further than this, his debut release. Originally sent to me when I was first forming Palinoia, there never felt like the right time to get this out despite how much I've adored these three tracks. With my mindset being away from clubs and more to the deeper side of music, I'm ready to get this triptych of deep, dubby, soul-infused house to you all." - Eric Cloutier More

Eric Cloutier launched Palinoia three years ago with an EP from himself, and now he's back on his own imprint for the first solo production since then. His new EP combines the three sounds he's know for - "Apeirophobia" is a heady roller that takes a solid twist halfway through, "Eleutheromania" is a dubby jam that was inspired by listening to (and owning) a LOT of Sterac / Steve Rachmad records, and, rounding it out, "Madrugada" is a deep and etherial house groove that lends itself more towards my monthly DOWN here in Berlin than the jacking beats most people equate my sound with. More

Increasingly known for his productions as much as his storied DJ sets, Eric Cloutier approaches the studio with the same kind of precision that marks out his club and festival appearances. On this first release on Palinoia he exercises a keen sense of control over playful elements, not least on lead track 'Heuristic'. The nagging lead synth may hop around the mix, but it stays locked on to a thoroughly focused undercarriage of drums and low end that suits the professional techno set. 'Ipseity' is lighter in its demeanor thanks to some calming pad tones, but the strong structure of the track remains. The release rounds up with the slower thump of 'Opprobrium', surmising Cloutier's attitude to the warm-up part of a serious, long-lasting DJ set. More

ORBE is no stranger to the hypnotic side of techno, and his newest release on Eric Cloutier's recently created Palinoia label properly allows the Spanish artist to do what he does best. Four tracks of deep, psychedelic techno, all slightly twisted and quirky in their own way, the entire EP is perfect for those headsdown nights deep in to the morning on the dancefloor of your favorite darkened club.
