We are very happy to finally share with you our first release of 2016 as we bring our second Italian artist onto EarToGround.

Drawing Inspiration from London’s Underground dance scene, “Descendents of Sinners” is a result of an ongoing, passionate desire from Dax fusing modern day techno with the sound of classic UK rave culture. 2015 has been a pretty big year for Dax. He's seen successful debut appearances at Berghain and Glastonbury as well as his very well received EarToGround residency with Jaded at Corsica Studios and soon his long awaited debut appearance at fabric. There is a lot more we can say about the tracks individually but instead we'll let the techno do the talking.

For our first release of 2015 we welcome to ETG one of Techno's most seminal artists... Jonas Kopp has always been an influential figure to EarToGround and was one of the main inspirations behind the creation of the label. Since his remix on ETG002 it was only a matter of time before his own full release was to come about. Few would dispute him as being one of the most prominent and exciting figures to emerge from Argentina in recent years. An accomplished producer, in-demand remixer and versatile performer, he has fast transitioned from Buenos Aires’ best kept secret to one of contemporary house and techno’s leading lights. The tracks created cover his full dynamic range old, new and future while demonstrating his skill at making you want to dance.

London based artist Cleric originally started sending us over material a couple of years back.

As EarToGround Records hits its seminal tenth release we have decided to go all out sonically and visually. As you all know Dax has been a core member of EarToGround right from the beginning. It all began with his and Chris Stanford’s jointly produced track ‘Programm’ on ETG001. From then on in he has worked tirelessly at his East London studio, climbing through the ranks to become the very respected and some would say inspirational producer he is now. Over the last year he has very much honed in and developed his now unique sound and recently released on much respected, high quality labels such as Deeply Rooted.
You could say his own EP on ETG has been a long time coming but we like to think ETG010 is what he has been building up to, some of his best work to date. We will let you decide 3 new solid, hook heavy, DJ and dancefloor friendly tracks from Dax as well as 2 centralized locked grooves and additional, extremely slick remix work from ARTS label boss ‘Emmanuel’… Black vinyl. Internal textured black inner sleeve. External textured white outer sleeve. 2 ETG Invader Stickers. Again the artwork is Space related. The theme this time pays homage to what can arguably be called one of the best modern SYFY films ever made.

ETG004 the ‘Klona Ep’ introduces new Argentinean talent Alexander D’niel to EarToGround Records with his first Ep on a UK Techno label. The original tracks ‘Klona’ and ‘Tetroid’ both come with different vibes. One dark and atmospheric using classic Techno elements the other more chord based with a brighter tone. Stepping up for remix duty we call upon Californian based Techno producer ‘Truncate’ and rising UK talent ‘Tom Dicicco’. These outstanding remix and original tracks are getting serious attention and questionably could be called some of their best work to date.

EarToGround Records 3rd consecutive vinyl only release, once again features as a limited pressing on high quality black wax and is likely to be seen by techno purists as ready to go dj ammunition for a variety of dance floors, as each track & remix carries its own identity. Aptly titled the ‘Kommand EP’ after it’s strikingly powerful A Side, ETG002 see’s the return of resident label artists and firmly rooted crew members, ‘Chris Stanford & Dax J’ after their well respected debut e.p ‘Programm’ on ETG001. The hard-hitting rumble of Kommand, is traditionally industrial with a memorable hypnotic lead. Which during its journey falls into a misty pad of resembling a dark chamber. The ‘Demented Drums remix of the title song comes from the mysterious duo ‘AnD’. Hailing from Manchester in the North of England their destructive pounding distortive bass rides sweetly on it’s driving broken beats, shortly after it’s filtered intro, a chiming of well crafted cowbells join forces with a re-arranged version of the mind teasing lead of the original track. On the flipside EarToGround label boss, Gareth Wild makes his own much-anticipated, debut release for the collection. His original piece ‘Get Raw’ gives this vinyl a different face and another purpose. Taking things deeper but nevertheless, this is for the dance floor, a swelling synth bass line that sucks you into the groove immediately on its entrance. Swooping, ever changing sci-fi effects and haunting calls always drawing interest over a rock steady pace of simplistically pleasing drums. Get Raw sees a connoisseur rework from somebody who probably needs little introduction, Samuli Kemppi of Helsinki, Finland.
A master of deep techno and he certainly does that title justice with the slugging piece of percussive perfection that climbs throughout. A series of subtle drops into chugging analogue bass, with complementary use of recycled and transformed parts of the original by Gareth.

Techno party throwers EarToGround are proud to present there first label release ETG001 on limited vinyl pressing only. Out of London comes the Programm EP with original sounds written and produced by Dax J & Chris Stanford. With their strong influences of traditional techno they have brought it's rawest stripped back elements to life. A mechanism of deep synthesizer stabs, a hard but sweet kick drum and complementary hi-percussion & shakers setting a solid platform for this new born label. On the flip side keeping to its London roots for this first release, EarToGround welcomes remixes from two very highly acclaimed producers: Shifted and Truss. Both mixes come from opposite sides of this sound's spectrum. The Shifted remix does a fine job of taking things darker and bassier with the ever present and stern stabs. Truss’ rework is one for the beat lover’s, manipulated stabs are overrun by finely crafted crunching claps.. Label artwork by Oblivious Artefacts.
