Little can we tell you about this mysterious character. Only that a famous DJ from RODterdam is behind this alter ego and that he did a very well received EP on Ben Klock's Klockworks earlier this year. The mysterious ROD enterns the Balans arena with an uncompromising, abstract techno affair. Little can we tell you about this mysterious character. Only that a famous DJ from RODterdam is behind this alter ego and that he did a very well received EP on Ben Klock?s Klockworks earlier this year. The music coming from this persona is one hundred percent puristic, stripped down, DJ tool Techno. With a capital T you have seen that right! No nonsense hypnotism as we rarely see it nowadays. Three or four sounds per track, each pushed and stretched inside out for maximum result. These tunes are made for dark, strobe lid cellars or underground techno temples such as Berghain. Techno is back and this is about as abstract and underground as it gets. We look forward to release more ROD records in the future.

Tracklist:
A1. Truck One A2. Truck One (Len Faki Remix) B . Trucker One B2. Trucker Two
Info:
ROD needs no introduction as the prolific alter ego of a certain Dutch producer already well associated with Figure. Here we are treated to 3 new ROD cuts, precisely aimed at the dancefloor, plus a special Len Faki remix to crown the package.
From the tricky, filtering rumbles of 'Truck One', to the psycho tendencies of 'Trucker One', or indeed the stuttering, head-spin of 'Trucker Two', the damage capabilities of this EP are clear. ROD's stripped and no-nonsense aesthetic, paired with a unique sense of timing and a delicate hand on the mixing desk ensure these minimalist tools also offer the touch of a long-time Techno devotee - that is to say - Timeless!
Label curator Len Faki offers up his take on 'Truck One' in a storming, action-packed ride, building on ROD's sparse palette of sound-design rumbles, and creates a straight up modern Techno roller that refuses to be shy!

Tracklist:

Short info:
ROD 2nd EP on CLR features 2 tracks that displays a style and approach he has not done before.
HKH touches the more peak time side of things, but by infusing some deep pads it creates a slightly more Detroit edge overall.
"Usually, I try to build my tracks around as minimum sounds as possible, but in this case all these lead sounds just made sense to me", says ROD.
The second track "GHT" sees ROD experimenting at a late trippy night and just flowing it out.
"This might be one of the weirdest tracks I have made so far. It reminds me it's always a good thing to search and experiment when your usual way of doing things doesn't inspire you anymore".

ROD makes a welcome return to Soma Records for his first solo EP since he lent his hand to two powerful new school updates of Slam classic ‘Positive Education’. The Buikgrep EP delivers two jacking Techno monsters, delivered in ROD’s unique style. Think dark warehouses, strobe lights and fist pumps! Buikgrep kicks off the EP as a thunderous kick drum bumps its way over a syncopated hi-hat pattern while slowly mutated stabs work their way in over the track. Slowing in pace to the break where the drums fire back with full force, unrelenting to the end of the track. ROD has definitely designed this one for the dance floors. Second track Mission at first feels more on a house tip with a lighter sounding stab prevalent from the get go. Don’t let this fool you however as this track it just as jacking as the previous. The synth opens up into a typical ROD hypnotic loop whilst the drums once again rattle around with total ferocity! ROD is firmly placing himself in the top tier of the new school generation of Techno producers and these two dance floor bomb are testament to someone who has immersed themselves in dance music for well over a decade.

Hailing from Rotterdam, one of the undisputed Techno capitals of the Netherlands, Benny Rodrigues has been closely connected to the CLR crew for many years. With numerous appearances at Chris Liebing's party seasons on Ibiza, his restless dj-ing, several high quality releases on renowned labels and his regular appearances on the CLR podcast, he has gathered many loyal followers in the international Techno community. Under his real name Benny Rodrigues he is partly known for his remarkable versatility and sometimes quite House oriented sets. ROD is his alter-ego, which clearly labels his pure, straight to the point Techno productions and performances. And this is what you can expect from this release - high quality, no-nonsense Techno with loads of bass. The EP features two brand-new ROD tracks, entitled HGB and DTC. HGB is stripped down, energetic and hypnotic Techno with a thrifty and efficient use of synths. Its driving, elegant beat programming, together with its crafty, subtle effects, vividly illustrate the special handwriting of ROD. DTC is even more minimalistic and reduced to the absolute indispensable, which makes it equally effective in its own way. With those productions ROD is really on to something, and we are very happy to present you his first and surely not last CLR release.

nphonyx - B2 Nebrakada
The BALANS roster is growing evermore internationally with fresh Moscow signing Nphonix. The Russian producer made big waves in the global Drum & Bass and Dubstep scene, but is no stranger to juke, acid and techno as he proven on previous releases. His different background provides him with a fresh angle on classic techno, pushing the envelope for the genre in a manner we love. For the Benway EP’s title track, a coop with fellow Russian producer Apobothra, the term ‘monster track’ is an understatement. The slow, careful build up doesn’t prepare the unweary listener for the wall of sound that’s yet to come. After the drop Benway evolves into a relentless tornado, destroying everything in it’s sonic path. Black Acid and Nebrakada on the flip are have the same sonic signature, but are more trippy by nature. Both tunes reveal Nphonix dubstep background 135-140 bpm tempos, without losing any of their funk through pulsating bass grooves.

We welcome UK’s rising star Jordan Peak on board for his first fully fledged techno release. Jordan has been making waves ever since his entrance on the international circuit in 2011 and with releases on Bass Culture and Robsoul a.o. his future is looking bright. Last year he started his own imprint Rogue Society, a label focused on music on the borders of house and techno. Jordan’s first steps into purist techno territory appear more like giant leaps. All four tracks sound like he is been making techno tunes for years, an extraordinary display of his talent. Black Paint kicks of a funk fuelled groove accompanied by modern day dub stabs and fx programming. Follow up Crocodile Tears brings memories of early Slam/Soma records to mind, updated to 2014. On the flipside you’ll find 2 dark, hypnotic groovers. Relentless in their pace, both with catchy melody lines that’ll stick in your brain for weeks to come. Another fantastic BALANS debut

Sometimes we get handed a demo from a totally unknown producer that instantly blows us away. That’s what happened when Dars’ brother send us the link to ‘All Is Tainted’ last year. The deep brooding darkness, offbeat bassline and droney sounddesign got us hooked within a few seconds. That’s all you need sometimes. Before we could put the record out, more tunes were needed. Dars got in the studio and came with 2 more amazing tracks that follow the same dark atmospherics as All Is Tainted. Conflicting Principles Of Behaviour and Revolutionary Feedback showcase the amazing talent of the Rotterdam based philosophy student and will mark the start of a fruitful collab between the debut artist and BALANS. If you love your techno deep, dark and ultrahypnotic you won’t be disappointed.

Don’t we all love it when artists hide behind a mysterious alter ego? Don’t we jump on the chance to unravel these kind of secrets? We have got one for you right here with our new release. Cadans is the super secret techno alter ego of a very well known and respected Drum & Bass//Dubstep producer. We have known and followed Cadans for many years and are very exciting to get to release the first EP of his new endeavour. All 3 tracks have been road tested extensively by labelboss Darko Esser and now finally will be documented on precious wax. Basically it’s a triple A-side record. Fix, Samsa and Millian are all peaktime, stripped down industrial machine funk monsters. A trio of bassheavy battle weapons wich will leave any dancefloor in shatters. Try it out and see for yourselfs!

Stefan Vincent, - Conflate Four
We have got a stunning debut lined up for magical number 10. Amsterdam’s Stefan Vincent will release his first BALANS twelve by the end of April and we are really extremely excited to unleash these 4 gems into the world. Both Conflate Four and Five are about as trippy as it gets, reminding us of the golden 90’s era of psychedelic Detroit and Berlin techno. But with a distinct Dutch flavour off course, think Steve Rachmad under his Ignacio monniker. Washes of synth arps are getting all the room they need to breath, expand and contract thanks to the ultra minimalistic grooves of both tunes. Stefan showcases a different side of himself on ‘Fool Me Again’ and ‘Welder’. Two downtempo, electronic, ambient cuts. ‘Welder’ embraces futuristic synths and abstract, alienating sounddesign, while ‘Fool Me Again’ is Detroit melancholy at it’s best: try and not get goosebumps.
