Tracklisting
A1 Luigi Madonna - Yakamoz
A2 Luigi Madonna - Hydratonic
B1 Luigi Madonna - Slow Sigh
B2 Luigi Madonna - Ikigai (Jam Edit)

Sales Note
Luigi Madonna is back on his record label Contempo and continues to showcase the darker and more underground side of his sound with the analogue grooves on this hypnotic release.

This four-track EP blends raw sound design with industrial percussion and modulating synth lines, to create dance floor focused cuts in the style that Luigi Madonna has previously championed via Contempo.

Previous releases on Contempo have also featured tracks and remixes from the likes of JSPR, Alarico, Lobster and Marc Faenger.

"Yakamoz" opens the release with its rumbling bassline tense synths and thrashing hi-hats, before the ominous synth stabs, trippy vocals and brutal percussion of "Hydratonic" take control. "Slow Sigh" has a stripped-back style with murky atmospheric, high-speed rhythms and sinister vocal tones. "Ikigai (Jam Edit)" is an experimental track that closes out the release with its breakbeat rhythms, heavy sub-bass and glitching synth lines.

Luigi Madonna joins Joseph Capriati's Redimension imprint with three atmospheric techno cuts entitled 'The Colours Of The Day EP'. Since 2008 renowned Italian artist Luigi Madonna has released on Plus 8, Drumcode, Second State and Octopus, alongside performing across the globe including at Awakenings, Amnesia, fabric, Watergate and Sound Museum Vision in Tokyo. Now, continuing to expand his awe-inspiring catalogue and place amongst the wider techno community, he brings his thundering and infectiously rhythmic techno to Redimension. 'Midnight Sun' opens with flying synths, cantering drums and spaciously sweeping snares that briskly fuels the audio journey into techno bliss. On the flip, 'Dark Yellow' drives with industrial kicks, layered claps, saturated keys and propulsive percussion until 'Dark Grey' concludes with zapping stabs, subtly emerging bass and polished cymbal patterns.

Tracklisting
A1 Re:Axis - Ancient Ways (Blazej Malinowski remix)
A2 Re:Axis - Right On The Center (RCHTR x Invalid Request remix)
B1 Re:Axis - Midjourney (Claudio PRC remix)
B2 Re:Axis - Back To The Now [Revisited]

Sales Note
Remixes by Blazej Malinowski, Claudio PRC, RCHTR & Invalid Request and a revisit by Re:Axis himself.

As the Derailed Records x Planet Rhythm vinyl saga continues, a new force materializes: the remix EP of Re:Axis's Ancient Ways. Reverent yet fearless, it transforms the original into something darker, deeper, and undeniably compelling.

Wrapped in a soft silver glow, this vinyl edition mirrors the legacy of its marbled-gold predecessor. The contrast is intentional, the pairing essential. Don't miss the chance to complete the set.

Tracklisting
A1 The Lady Machine - Precursor
A2 The Lady Machine - Motto
B1 The Lady Machine - Mantra
B2 The Lady Machine - Abracadabra

Sales Note
KEY Vinyl welcomes Brazil born and Berlin based power
woman The Lady Machine for her debut on the label with
Kudos, a no-nonsense showcase of tough, effective club
techno. Rooted in old-school sensibilities yet charged with a forward-thinking edge, the EP offers four tracks engineered for the dancefloor, each distinct yet united by their raw energy.

We begin with Precursor, a big-room stomper that immediately commands attention. Its thick bassline and driving percussive thrust create an uplifting, high-impact sound that burns with intensity one for the peak time moments. Next up is Motto, a powerfully driven cut thatdoubles down on insistence and energy. Every element here feels deliberate and with a strong
propulsion. Mantra follows with a massive groove and rhythm focused sound design. Open hi-hats, a sturdy bassline, and perfectly placed claps build a magnetic, suspenseful atmosphere. Oscillating synths add tension, while the sharpcomposition makes it clear why this one stands out: its a certified club hit and hip shaker. On closing duties is Abracadabra, defined by a returning thick bassline, pushing the tracks momentum to its limit. Pure, pounding techno at its core a fitting conclusion to an EP built for high-energy spaces and untamed dancefloor energy. With Kudos, The Lady Machine makes a bold first impression on KEY Vinyl, bringing a set of tough, dynamic and high-impact tracks.

Black Vinyl!

ROMANCE represents a bold sonic and stylistic evolution for the band and lead single “Starburster” shows the band at their most electrifying to date, as Chatten’s swaggering stream of consciousness collides with explosive production.

Legendary French DJ and producer The Hacker debuts on Radio Slave’s Rekids with the ‘Laser & Smoke’ EP on 21st February 2025. The two-track ‘Laser & Smoke’ EP harkens back to The Hacker’s early 90s roots in Detroit-inspired Electro & Techno. First, he starts with ‘Turborave’, a tasteful, bleepy cut with an unignorable bassline and muted dub chords that wash over its snappy groove. ‘Turborave’ is the kind of heads-down, lose-yourself dance?oor moment for the later hours before ‘Harmonia’ sees The Hacker play with high-voltage cables on the B-side. Charged-up zaps and zippy acid call and respond while bodied drum hits keep the rhythm moving, whistles and pads occasionally joining in. Pioneering DJ and producer The Hacker is renowned for being a leading proponent of Electroclash in the early 2000s, his Techno and EBM-infused sound, and iconic collaborations with Miss Kittin. With releases on labels like Dark Entries, Mannequin Records, and Turbo, as well as remixes for Air, Soft Cell, Dave Clarke, and Front 242, The Hacker remains a vital force in electronic music. He now adds Radio Slave’s Rekids to his extensive discography for the ?rst time via the ‘Laser & Smoke EP. Radio Slave’s Rekids was founded in 2006 and has since spawned successful o?shoots with the Techno-focused Rekids Special Projects in 2017 and its newest sublabel, REK’D, in 2024. With Matt Edwards as the sole A&R, Rekids has been crucial in developing early artist careers and has become a haven for established acts operating in House and adjacent genres, having recently featured the likes of Harry Romero, Hilit Kolet, William Kiss, Bushwacka, Mathias Kaden, Tiger Stripes, Tal Fussman, and many more.

Sales Note
Promising techno talent Kaiser weighs out 4 big room aces forthe following KEY journey. Powerful and composed, all tracks reflect the character of the Italian artist who once again, with dedication and commitment brings forth a timeless blend of productions. Dip in, you'll find your own pearl.
Konsistenz proposes a blend of classic techno with an elegant restraint: from the sophisticated, tunnelling pounder of A1 to the stripped-down yet busy vibes of A2, Kaiser demonstrates his mastery of detail, crafting beautifully constructed tracks with deep atmospheres that magnetically draw you in. B1 offers prime body music- a proper DJ tool with focus on the low end, while B2 introduces a sturdy broken beat accompanied by tense, droning strings and bleepy contours, creating an intriguing stomper with a minimal blueprint. Moody notes and ample reverb immerse listeners in an aquatic and deep atmosphere, ideal for consumption between the hours of 6 and 8 am on a Sunday morning. With its subtle variations in textures and rhythmics, this release promises to set dance floors ablaze, making it a necessary addition to any DJ's arsenal.
Smart and effective- killer twelve
