Alessandro Crimi - Cöptho
After a nine-year hiatus, F4TMusic is back with a bang, and they’re making their return even more spectacular by teaming up with dub techno extraordinaire Alessandro Crimi. With over two decades of musical prowess, Crimi is set to unveil his latest masterpiece : Moirae Ep
Join us on a sonic journey that transcends time and space, where Alessandro Crimi’s masterful touch invites you to explore the threads of fate through sound. Each track in this trilogy is a sonic tapestry, meticulously crafted to transport you to realms both mystical and contemplative.
The theme of Moirae draws inspiration from the goddesses of fate in Greek mythology. Just as these three sisters wove the destinies of mortals, Crimi weaves together three mesmerizing tracks that are destined to leave an indelible mark on your soul.
Here’s a sneak peek at the tracks that await you :
4) Lachesis opens up with a deep dub techno composition featuring expansive pads and captivating high hats, immersing listeners in its rhythmic groove. It invites you to contemplate the twists and turns of your own fate, making it an essential addition to any dub techno aficionado’s collection.
441) Atropos takes on a more percussive rhythm, with sharp high hats oriented towards the dancefloor, injecting an energetic pulse into the Ep. Originally released under the name “Jericho” on Etui Records (Wandering Ep – 2021), this short-edit celebrates the cutter of life’s threads with hypnotic rhythms and profound basslines to keep the dancefloor in motion.
442) Clotho offers a serene experience with its ethereal pads, inviting a sense of tranquility and grace. A sonic tapestry that guides you through the inception of destiny itself, creating a comforting conclusion to this mesmerizing trilogy.
Moirae Ep is not just a collection of tracks, it is a sonic odyssey that invites you to reflect on the interconnectedness of life’s moments and the mysterious tapestry of existence itself. The stunning artwork for this release is crafted by the talented Geoffroy de Gorter, further enhancing the visual and sonic journey that awaits. More

Another strong collaboration for Stately Records as they celebrate their third release, together with Swiss Dub Techno wizard Alessandro Crimi. Already producing music for over 20 years from his headquarters in Baden, Switzerland Alessandro is playing a big part in the development of the beautiful sound of Dub Techno. Besides his own productions he is the founder of the label Waehlscheibe, which has seen 10 vinyl releases and celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. Also anno 2022 there is a lot of magic coming from his hands, with a recent sold out record on ETUI Records, and more in the future he will be part of a great VA coming out on Roger Gerressen’s Irenic.
His work for Stately Records is once again a super diverse ep, with music for every mood. 2 cuts for the dancefloor, with ‘Transcendent’ sending us on an extended melancholic trip & ‘The Space Between Everything’ being the more uplifting work. Besides that, both sides are accompanied by 2 experimental cuts. On the A-side we find the amazing ambient work ‘When Darkness Turns into Light’ and on the B-side the title track ‘Moonward’, a fast paced, bass heavy track which shows no mercy. More

Blaze - 20:20 Vision Remix
West London’s Slip ‘N Slide presents a special four-track package on wax for the first time, as Seth Troxler and Franck Roger deliver remixes of the 1997 Blaze favourite ‘Lovelee Dae’. An iconic artist who needs little introduction, Seth Troxler’s name is synonymous with American house and techno of the last two decades, with his formative years in Detroit shaping his sound before moving to the techno capital of the world Berlin. His ventures as a label boss, and with Night Tales, further cemented the talent as an underground hero - he now joins the likes of Carl Craig, Roman Flügel, and Isolée in giving ‘Lovelee Dae’ an expertly crafted remix, building from minimal grooves to a grand and immersive wash of sound. Also stepping up on remix duties is Parisian producer, crate digger and label boss of Real Tone Records, Franck Roger, who adds his signature beat focussed approach to the iconic track. This vinyl package also includes Blaze’s striking original, as well as one of the very first remixes from the late 90s, the 20:20 Vision remix of which used copies go for big money. This is an essential 12 inch EP for any true house fan.

Limited Edition Double Vinyl
Pressed on bio-viny and packaged in environmental wrapping
ABOUT
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Plastikman, aka Richie Hawtin, has remastered his groundbreaking second album, Musik, from the original tapes for a new limited bio-vinyl edition.
The record was first released in November 1994 through NovaMute and Plus 8, following the debut Plastikman album, Sheet One (1993). A masterclass in minimal techno, Musik quickly propelled Hawtin to new levels of success. The release followed Plastikman's first-ever live performance in a black vinyl-encased room at a semi-derelict Packard Plant in Detroit, where Hawtin was central to the burgeoning underground scene.
Before the full album hit the shelves, the track 'Plastique' (which was later described by Q as "...the flipside to Hawtin's early singles, all ticking percussion, feline acid tweaks, and cushioned sub-bass") set the stage for a more dance floor-friendly album, albeit one with an unsettling and sinister side.
The album, described by The Guardian as "music as you've never heard it before" and by The Wire, who made it one of their Albums of the Year, as "... a masterpiece", defined a moment in techno that still echoes today.
Now, 30 years later, the album has been remastered from the original tapes, reminding us why Plastikman is a name that still resonates and that the album's intensity - on and off the dance floor - has lost none of its potency in the intervening years.
Available on limited edition double bio-vinyl from Mute and NovaMute.
