The inimitable VTSS returns with a mesmerising 6- track EP titled ‘Projections’ More

For the 5th release on their main vinyl series NZ-founded and Berlin-based outfit Haven have enlisted the help of Poland's finest new voice in industrial-tinged techno. VTSS, as the resident of the infamous and daring Brutaz party and Jansa1 club in her hometown of Warsaw, quickly made her name across the continent through her raw and aggressive live shows, energetic DJ sets, and a sound cutting the line between techno, EBM, rave and industrial. Furthermore, in 2018 she participated in the Berlin edition of the seminal Red Bull Music Academy and released her debut EP on SPFDJ's Intrepid Skin, further entrenching her reputation as one of the most exciting artists arising in the genre.
VTSS kicks off the EP with a slamming EBM-techno mashup in "Up & Down" on the A1, combining heavy kicks, creepy synth-lines and the screaming, atmospheric vocals of collaborator Karolina Bartczak. This genre combination is followed in "I Don't Think It's Better" on the A2, using its rolling drums and ominous synth-funk to create a defiant dance-floor killer. The B1 starts the flip side with "Nicetry" - bringing together VTSS' trademark eerie synth ambiance with tight electro drum programming. Finally, "Ununtrium" closes with a stomping broken-beat, amen-break bruiser More

Sales Note
Back in 2011, the REPITCH label debuted with "REPITCH 000", a brief compilation that featured tracks from the three originators: Pasquale Ascione (Ascion), Davide Carbone (D. Carbone), Nino Pedone (Shapednoise). Since then, the imprint has been a key player on techno's experimental fringes, pushing music that joins the dots between industrial, noise, bass, and hard
dance. In ten years, they've released music from artists like Sote, Zenker Brothers, AnD, Sleeparchive, Regis, and VTSS, and to celebrate their anniversary, REPITCH has fittingly assembled another forward-thinking selection of tracks following on from 2017's acclaimed "Dys Functional Electronic Music."

"Dys Functional Electronic Music X" is a state of the union from Ascione, Carbone, and Pedone that highlights not only their label's scope but its intentions for the future. Ten years in, the trio are just as motivated by broadening club music's horizons as they are filling dancefloors, and that's never more obvious than on opening track 'Mastice Riddim (VIP Mix)' from Shapednoise and Gabber Eleganza. The two producers meet at the exact intersection of their styles, with Pedone splitting Alberto Guerrini's fictile trance arpeggios using his patented hi- definition sound design and trunk-rattling drill rhythms.

TSVI and Randomer excavate a similar mid-point on 'Overbite,' following on from 2021's "Reflex" EP with a booming, mindboggling fusion of warehouse techno and cybernetic dancehall. Pasquale Ascione's contribution 'Plugged (Heavy- Rotation Mix)' is a disarming future-retro cut, distorting vintage breaks with psychedelic bleep techno synths, while Carbone's 'Hypnotic Experimental Dance' does precisely what it promises, blotting grinding hardstyle kicks into dissonant waves of psychedelic electronics. Los Angeles ravers Baseck and Aura T-09 throw shades over the Cali sunshine on 'Angelz', losing gabber rhythms in tweaked DSP fizz but never dropping the crucial momentum.

On the flip side, Italian mainstay DJ Plant Texture turns in a breakbeat slowburner that sounds like Sheffield via Rotterdam but never dips into empty nostalgia. Russia's versatile Buttechno, meanwhile, brings a weightless sensibility to progressive minimal, layering cauterized harmonics over driving warehouse kicks and dreaming gently of the big room. The compilation switches gears at this point, centering a pair of rave-ready hard dance constructions from fwd-thinking Greek producers DJ Loser and MarcelDune, before grinding to a halt on sci-fi-tinged closer 'Digital Hoarder' from Low Income $quad's Strahinja Arbutina.

Repitch Recordings’ new release is one of a kind. Attesting to the greatness of Belgian industrial techno pioneer Hypnoskull’s album “ffwd>burnout”, the label has compiled a fresh selection from the 1999 milestone and now pressed it for the first time on vinyl. The aim is to introduce its grinding breakbeats, its blasting hyperbolic groove, and ferocious disturbance to a new generation, championing an undying enthusiasm for heavy and deconstructed club sounds. Moreover, the EP comes with an exclusive remix by Birmingham Master Surgeon, whose own militancy in hard-edged techno has contributed to his legendary status, reuniting a different yet somewhat similar vision of dancefloor experimentation. It also includes an updated version of Hypnoskull’s manifesto, renewing his methods of cultural resistance.

“Sleeparchive's influential minimalistic power in combination with the unique, endlessly evolving sound of Mike Parker, appear together for the first time on RPTCH04 split Ep. Sleeparchive starts off on the A side, creating industrious textures with 'Fifth Station' followed by two (endless) LOOPs that lead to the A4 White Angel Breadline, mesmerizing track with the classic Sleeparchive's timbre and brightness. Mike Parker is responsible for one of the most recognizable sound of techno which is characterized by sublime, fluid atmospheres and neverending hypnotic sequences. REPITCH Recordings introduces him on the Bside with 'Flying Nerves' and 'Lustrum', leaving an indelible mark on the eleventh release of the Italian berlin based label.”

Repitch Record coming strong with 5 tracks of fierce analogue sounding tracks. Violet Poison is into monochromatic and stripped-down sounds with the basement aesthetics from early 90's techno. Aldebaran Alabrahamis Oxakindiss is raw, trippy techno that explores multiple aspects of techno. Like true cyberpunks its connecting EBM with Warehouse tracks to darker basement acid injected sounds that make you loose contact with the worls around you.

The second release of the 10inch Repitch series features on the A side for the first time a collaboration between Repitch bosses Ascion and Shapednoise after his recent debut album on Prurient's Hospital Productions, while on the B side we have a track from the other Repitch boss D. Carbone. "Basic Impact" it's the perfect combination of the gritty Shapednoise dynamics and the trip-inducing sound of Ascion. They build up a perfect, firing industrial dancefloor machine with a surprising end. On the flip, "MetemPsychosis" is a powerful, ultradark techno burner with acidic synthlines, pumping rhythms and a strong broken beat. The track gets more and more intense toward the end with a rolling distorted tom.
