Spanish techno stalwarts JC Cabrera and Kastil come together once again for their No Spiritual Surrender project, this time debuting on L.I.E.S.
Go to the a-side for direct, rhythmic, textured and dense techno gear. The b-side offers a different affair ramping up the bpm, exploring broken beats and spacious atmospheres for the more adventouerous dj. More

No Spiritual Surrender, AKA Spanish techno producers J.C. (Deeply Rooted/Tresor) and Kastil (Esperanza/Wilson Records) return for a four-track EP following their self-titled, debut album late last year.
A1 'Ez Du Axola' portrays rampant synth based percussion, dominating the mix while A2 'The Shakes' is a paranoid, DnB roller for the eyes down crew.
For more pleasant surprises, flip for the B1 'T.Y.S.R.' which is an abstract and disjointed collage of radio samples that massage the ears, before B2 'XXX' closes out with distorted kicks that have enough torque to shatter any system. More

Devoted to the art of movement is the first record from NSS (No spiritual surrender) a duo formed by J.C. (AHD co-owner together with Damian Schwartz) and Kastil This E.P. centers it's attention towards electro, but continue AHD's heritage of giving a twist to those 90s sounds that influenced us so much, from early IDM to Detroit, all is present here. The opening track is is the one that gives the EP it's name, an acid stomper build around an electro beat that builds up and down fiercely. The track maintains it's tension throughout it's whole length by building strings and arpeggios over it's acid sequence, never transferring it's beat to a straight kick, capturing the attention since it's first second. 'Proposed Playground' is build around a more steady electro beat, strings and sounds merge themselves around the beat to create a beautifully hypnotic piece where where some background melodies tickle our ears bringing memories from IDM golden years. 'Zero One' is closing track, without leaving the electro rhythms the defined the whole EP the track is build around a phrenetic synth sequence that sets the path for the whole length, rhythms are rough and strong and it's syncopated hitting adds emphasis on that frenzy atmosphere since it's first second till the last.

Tensal steps up for the next output on Cabrera. The EP is characterized by frantic synth lines, breaky percussion, and relentless kicks. This one's definitely dedicated to the rave. More

J.C.'s "Farewell for Walls" gives us three well crafted original tracks plus a remix by Hector Oaks.
It starts with an atmospheric breakbeat work-out followed by a more pounding version by OAKS/KAOS boss Hector.
The B-side continues where the remix stopped, upping the energy and sticking to a 4x4 pattern while retaining breaky elements and chopped vocals. More

We are very happy to announce the 13th release of Cabrera with two special remixes from the label boss', J.C., 'Vertigo' record that came out in the summer of 2017. Side A comes with a special Shed rework. Rene is a huge influence for us and we are thrilled to have him on our catalogue. Keeping the essence of the original, he made a proper raw dub techno banger. On the flip side, Kastil, already part of the family, took Nyame in a whole other level and made a fresh blend of fierce techno. More
