PEIM002 delivers a serious and dynamic sonic statement — a bold and profound EP crafted for the dance floor.

A1. Sequence kicks things off with a groove-driven ride, blending early 2000s tech house and minimal influences. Designed with DJs in mind, this track is a weapon for peak-time moments. A2. Resonant dives deeper into hypnotic territory. A techno looper that builds into a state of trance, locking you into its rhythm with subtle shifts and pulsating textures.

On the B-side, B1. Wanna (Original Mix) brings a cheeky, rebellious flair. It’s a dirty roller built for those darker, mischievous moments on the dance floor — pure attitude. B2. Wanna (ILDEC Remix) takes things to another level. With a masterful blend of techno and progressive elements, ILDEC reimagines the original into a powerful, polished cut that demands attention.

An essential four-tracker for selectors who like it deep, driving and unapologetically club-ready.

Next up on Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver is Primal Instinct co-founder Chlär with the 'Topography' EP. It follows his debut album, 'The Architects of Shadows', which came out on Primal Instinct at the tail end of 2024, and sees the Swiss-bom, Germany-based artist deliver four more tracks of unmistakable, dance-floor-primed Chlär sound.

Chlär's 'Topography' EP embraces Mote-Evolver's tradition of deeper groove Techno with finesse, seeing 'Altitude' kick off proceedings as a heads-down slice of hypnotism featuring can't-miss Techno rhythm while otherworldly creatures add to the atmosphere. 'Serac' then delves even further, its effective bassline welded together with subtle sequences before we flip the record around for 'Lamin', a track rife with ghostly dub chords and remnants of a vocal sample. Closing out the trip is 'Phantom Grid', a clap riding its groove as it builds the intensity, dropping the pressure with hammering kickdrums and excellent, warped percussion for another lose-yourself club offering from the ever-promising Chlär.

Second release on Marco Shuttle's MSP solo label. This time it's a 2-tracker reminiscent of his earlier works (Sing Like A Bird or even The Vox Attitude), so a more 4/4 slower approach than his latest releases. The tracks were inspired by deep/tribal 90's progressive house that he heard playing in clubs in the North of Italy (where the producer is from) in those days. These are very versatile tracks that would easily fit in both techno and (deep psychedelic) house territory. 12 inch EP + Insert

Tracklisting
A1 Mathys Lenne - Detlev
A2 Mathys Lenne - Natural Born Killers
B1 Mathys Lenne - Choose Your Pill
B2 Mathys Lenne - Untidy Echo
B3 Mathys Lenne feat. D.E.S - Enfer ou Ciel

Sales Note
French DJ/producer Mathys Lenne's artistic vision is rooted in his deep connection to rhythm. Telling stories with his sounds while drawing inspiration from poetry and cinema and blending hypnotic textures with raw intensity, his music is widely supported across the scene via labels like Mord, Hayes and more. Across five vinyl cuts and three digital bonuses, the four-deck wizard keeps it deeply atmospheric with his label debut on SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint, combining elements of psychedelic rock, unique voice samples and saturated synths to create a sound that feels immersive and unrestrained in contrast to the fast-paced, visceral techno he has become known for.

'Detlev' opens up with hefty kicks that demand you quicken your step, while industrial effects and creepy design brings the detail that makes the track pop. The classy 'Natural Born Killers' rides on firm kicks with loopy percussive details tightly coiled, ensuring you are forever on edge as the drums march on. 'Choose Your Pill' is a stripped-back and pulsing deep techno cut with deft synths that peel off the groove, before 'Untidy Echo' delivers a cavernous sound with sparse hits and low-end rumbles that place you in the centre of an underground cavern. 'Enfer ou Ciel' featuring D.E.S brings a sense of melancholy in the occasional string sounds and watery droplets that float over more frictionless, meditative beats - while the trio of digital bonus cuts brings moody subterranean rollers ranging
from snaking and dubby to more drum-led and eerie tones.

Mathys Lenne 'Detlev' lands on Mutual Rytm on 2nd May 2025.
