Turkish-born, Barcelona-based DJ and producer Elif celebrates the launch of her debut label Marginalia today, with the release of the imprint’s eagerly anticipated inaugural offering, Medusa EP. Conceived and created as a community to support, nurture and develop the incredible output of the producers whose music forms the backbone of Elif’s DJ sets worldwide, Marginalia’s opening three-track opus features two separate collaborations with hotly-tipped Brazilian producer Althoff and Tel Aviv-based artist Takiru, alongside an original solo offering from label boss Elif. Marginalia’s inaugural release opens with its blistering title track Medusa; a stunning original mix from Elif herself, which presents all of the hypnotic sensibilities we’ve come to know and love from the Turkish producer’s impeccable output. Laying a foundation of chugging percussion, skittish samples and snarling bass, Medusa unfolds a fantastical patchwork of trippy synth-work, ebbing and flowing be

The philosophy of Grigoré's music is simple: music for body and soul, implemented through exciting and penetrating atmospheres, driven by splashy and driving parts of analog synthesizers. In a new EP titled 'Instinct Power' forthcoming on label boss Fehrplay's TENET recordings, Grigoré continues to showcase why the rising gem of a producer is making quite the impact within the melodic techno scene. The title track 'Instinct Power' combines hypnotising vocal cuts, pulsing rolling bass and delicately developed melodies with an overall dark aesthetic splicing the fine lines between deep, dark and beautiful. 'Odysseus Meets Neo' takes things a little lighter and more groove focused with rememberable repeating word 'release', assisting in the inducing of trance like conscious states that Grigoré can create so seamlessly for the dance floor.

Neapoli-born, Milan-based duo Moonwalk follows up to their 2022-issued 'Dune' EP for Stil vor Talent with their latest two-tracker, 'Eternal', due for release on 29th September. A supra-dynamic foray into their multi-faceted headspace, this new studio effort sees the Italian pair join forces with Alessio Cristiano and EarthLife on two cuts clearly designed with the club in mind. Exponents of a sound both brazenly vanguard whilst paying due tribute to the classic Italo scene through hair-raising buildups and heavy-duty programming, Dario and Mauro have us traversing a wide-ranging palette of sensations, merging "introspection, melancholy and euphoria" as they like to recall. And to say the least, 'Eternal' fits that definition to a tee with its implacable momentum, dead set to take dance floors and ravers by storm. Made in collaboration with Alessio Cristiano, who created that head-turning melody around which the track revolves, 'Eternal' is pukka Moonwalk material by the book. Spin

Automatik presents: Interstellar Henri Bergmann’s Automatik label sources an array of talent with its inaugural Various Artists compilation, featuring 15 essential club-ready cuts. Automatik deals in progressive and melodic techno from across the underground spectrum and is now a well-regarded outlet for fresh club sounds with the boss's own tunes at the heart of it all. Following a great series of remixes and original EPs comes this bumper collection which really lays out the label's unique sonic signature. In curating the work, Bergmann found inspiration from her local London scene and has hand-selected some of the UK’s burgeoning artists and friends to feature alongside herself, including Hardt Antoine, Paride Saraceni, Sahar, Cenkk & Pattn. Henri kicks off the VA with ‘Vision’, the strobe-lit, arpeggiated synth laced techno cut, before Monophase's ‘Valkyrie’ locks you into a spine tingling atmosphere with epic synths over rolling drums.

The latest installment of our free download series welcomes Adam Sellouk and Matan Tamal with their take on ‘Rumble’ by Skrillex, Fred again & Flowdan. Hailing from Israel, Adam Sellouk first emerged in 2021 with a contribution to Steyoyoke’s Paradigm collection. Immediately recognized for his astral sound, Adam quickly caught the attention of world class DJ Miss Monique, who signed him to her Siona Records imprint for a two-track showcase later that same year. 2022 would see further successes for Adam, with Nora En Pure’s Purified imprint being the landing spot for ‘Mirage’, a well received production which saw play from Agents of Time, Innellea, Kevin de Vries and Mathame. Meanwhile, fellow countryman Matan Tamal has enjoyed similar success since his debut on Steyoyoke in 2021. Over the next two calendar years the Petah Tikva resident would record projects for Awen Tales, Duenia and Lowbit Records. Having previously collaborated on ‘Polar’, a track which was rele

As the summer season slowly closes it's curtains it's once more the Radikon Various Artist time of the year. We thoughtfully picked a thrifty but meteoric mix of talents on their individual height of their creative lifespans. So far. Indian groove wizard 'Ankytrixx' casts the mighty opening spell for 'Sesa' with 'Baby2000'. This magical high voltage ride never lets go of its initial tension built on a fundament of punchy kicks, deep pads and dancing hi-hats, while the hypnotic lead pattern evolves into a noisy ascension of its former self. This compilations also sets the stage for the long awaited Radikon debut of 'Hools', who brings a whole 'Coalition of Darkness' with him. Epic choirs are winging its ways over a fluttering 16th bass grid, while the listener floats in a crossfire of soaring synth shots. NDW-esque spoken words pave the path through 'Kinetische Impulse' by Belgian producer 'Axel Haube', backed by 'ELV/RA' on vocal duty. An allover trippy experience handmade for strobe

Astral Records rounds out the month of September by welcoming Eli and Dani and ZAC to the label for their first ever collaboration. Hailing from Israel, Eli and Dani have enjoyed a quick rise since first emerging from Tel Aviv's electronic underground a few short years ago. The duo's spirited take on progressive and melodic house has seen them showcase their music via Nora en Pure's Purified and Massano's Simulate Recordings. Meanwhile, Brazilian artist ZAC has enjoyed measurable success over the course of his sixteen-year career. The Santa Catarina resident's well-kept discography is highlighted by releases for Einmusika, Eklektisch, Freegrant Music and Warung Recordings. Now collaborating for the first time, Eli and Dani and ZAC join forces for their much-anticipated double A-side vehicle 'The Reflection Of Voices'. The release commences with the title track 'The Reflection Of Voices', which finds the trio layering dark stabs and deconstructed vocals over machine-gun grooves and pun
