Delsin welcomes Spanish techno icon Reeko to their Cameron series. Pushing his impressive take on techno for the past 20 years he keeps re-inventing himself, with a recent move on Berlin's Samurai Music presenting a full drum & bass EP as perfect example of this. And also here for Delsin, it's a fresh approach exploring new sides of techno. It's broken and wiggly with dreamy riffs tying it all together. Uplifting mountain valley techno combined with stepping off-beat kick drum jams. It's a flawless pack where Reeko shows he's capable of creating playful heads down techno of any kind. More

Track list:
A1 Reeko - Confront The Serpent
A2 Reeko - Smile At Reptile
B1 Reeko - Seek Alignment
B2 Reeko - Samsara

Release Info:
The stars aligned to bring another of our all-time favourite producers, and indeed one of the most important musical figures from the Techno sphere to the 170/85 BPM tempo when Reeko sent us a demo late last year. All four tracks perfectly create a fully formed and distinctive stylistic adaptation and were signed instantly. If we imagined what Reeko would sound like at this tempo, we couldn't have envisioned a better reality.

These four tracks make up 'Confront The Serpent' - an ode to the machinations of an Ayahuasca ceremony and its resulting journey of discovery. The Serpent symbolises our shadows and the importance of facing them.

A hazy psychedelic aura floats across these tracks, binding them together, while the kicks possess the perfect frequencies you would expect from such a renowned kick-drum scientist. Percussive and ambient elements for each track create flawless contrasts and shade, while Reeko's subtle low-end work proves the deadly ingredient to send the tracks into a delicious level of hypnotism. 'Smile At Reptile' is especially notable for its deftly reworked, cascading breakbeat and inventive kick/break combo.

A potent new force has arrived at this tempo and we are honoured to be the label that presents the first fruits of this new perspective to the world. More

Reeko returns to Avian. Juan Rico follows up his 2017 debut on the label with a fresh brace of wrought iron recordings. More

Reeko comes home again with his brand new EP, one step more in his tremendous discography and again a
statement of modernism, soul and anger, all in one. Four different flavoured cuts of meticulously crafted club tracks, dense, obscure, liquid, sometimes harsh and incredibly sounding.

Spanish techno master Reeko makes his mark on Detroit Underground with a release exploring the darker facets of humanity in mesmerizing fashion, with rhythm and drone taking equal importance. “Lovers and Bandits” sets side A off with a brutal broken march, hard kicks building slowly into caverns of sonic noise. “BDSM” twists the sounds of pleasure and pain into an endless dark delay, leading you to the edge and right into “Hard Sex Club”, roiling with indecipherable voices and a hovering synth build that teases but never quite strikes. Side B straightens the beat with “Slaughter”, a searing background noise underpinning an evolving rotation of menace that pushes the beats forward into a pit of noise and sludge. “Sex With God” is a fierce techno rhythm, wet, crunchy, and percussive without the ubiquitous kick drum, building to a crescendo of heat and buzz. Finally, “Submissive Behavior” is a massive paranoid drone, prickly with hunger and menace. On “We Are Bandits”, Reeko strips down his explorations of sound and texture to the barest essences, making for an unsettling and intriguing listen.

Another welcome name to Soma from the Spanish camp is Reeko who delves head first into unfathomable deep techno depths with his debut release, barcelona #3am. Reeko has been building his name with great care and attention to his sound for many years and all this has culminated in a producer who can easily flip form deep, cerebral techno to full on filth. His debut on Soma happily straddles these fields as thunderous sub bass matches some equally future realms of energy. More

PoleGroup number 033 features Reeko. After the successful releases in his own Mental Disorder imprint, he comes back home with this four-tracker. Reeko's sound has evolved over the years and he has become one of the most original producers in the scene. His special approach to sound and texture, coupled with his very particular view of obscurity and mentalism, shines here in all its splendour. The first cut, "Empty Streets", is a journey through sound starting with subtle kicks that grow to find their own place in the mix, plus mechanical sequences and a melancholic string break. "Bad Mood" is an exercise in modern techno: panned alien sequences, high pitched drones and extreme sound processing which result in maximum sonic amplitude. "Dishonest Thoughts" is the ambient slice of the record: pads, atmospheres, sub-bass frequencies and darkness. "Sunday Night" goes dubby and liquid by emphasizing the low end and reverberated passages, and adding a massive stereo work. More

Tracklisting:
A1 Helki Törsnum - Events That Occur A1
B1 Helki Törsnum - Events That Occur B1
B2 Helki Törsnum - Events That Occur B2

Sales Note
Chapter number twenty-seven of the Mental Disorder missile catalogue arrives. This new chapter is signed by Helki Torsnum, who is none other than the living legend: Inigo Kennedy, who decided 25 years ago to compose an EP for the now-defunct British label, Sheer Records. We wanted to rescue this lost gem called "Events that occur" because it perfectly defines the minimalist and raw sound of 90s techno, which occupied the entire frequency spectrum in its purest form.
Three powerful tracks that destroyed the dance floors in the mid nineties. More

Tracklisting:
A1 Reeko & Surgeon - Scoundrel
B1 Reeko & Surgeon - Gangster In Disguise
B2 Reeko & Surgeon - Lemurian Blues

Sales Note
In 2003, Mental Disorder was inaugurated with its first e.p. "Psychiatric Hospital". Twenty years later Mental Disorder is pleased to present "Scoundrel", a release consisting of 3 tracks, all of them written and conceived by label founder Reeko and Surgeon, the living legend and one of the most influential artists of all time. Undoubtedly the most special, risky and different release in the whole MD catalogue so far.

On this release, we find rogue rhythms at 175bpm bordering on drum n' bass, gangster bass sequences with funk influences and eerie atmospheres, healing melodies and hypnotizing riffs that seem to come from vanished civilizations.

Anthony Child and Juan Rico bring to life the twenty-sixth in the mental disorder catalogue, giving a truly unexpected musical twist. More

Tracklist:
A1 Reeko - Rose Out Of Chaos
B1 Tensal - Lux Rhapsody

Release Note:
This time Mental disorder returns with the luminous contribution of artist Tensal bringing light to a release that starts off totally demonic with the sounds of the darkest hell from the hand of Reeko. The two faces of Tremendous Satan's Doom. More
