From its inception in the early 1990's, Tech House, was in its simplest form the combination of Techno & House; at that time two very different scenes. The heavy, darker, hypnotic grooves of Techno combined with the slower swing & funk of House Music. From there, its journey led to a diverse set of interpretations; twisting Progressive House into more experimental waters, adding fuel to San Fransisco's West Coast House scene, Europe's fledgling Minimal scene, alongside soundtracking London town with seminal underground parties, night clubs, record labels and record stores.

Hardtek (auch: Hardtekk) ist ein Genre, das sich vor allem bei Heranwachsenden in Belgien, den Niederlanden, Frankreich und Spanien größerer Beliebtheit erfreut. Der Begriff setzt sich aus »Hard« und »Tek« zusammen und darf mit hartem Techno übersetzt werden.

With the Ibiza season now in full flourish, Toolroom return with 'Poolside Ibiza 2017' to see you through those long, hot days spent by the pool, with the perfect soundtrack of blissful, Balearic beats for your listening pleasure. We're excited to announce that this year's 'Poolside Ibiza' has been compiled and mixed by Indie Dance and Nu Disco heavyweights; Satin Jackets, who bring their trademark disco-infused sound to the series. Satin Jackets is the brainchild of German producer Tim Bernhardt, who has since teamed up with his friend Den Ishu as the lead performer, making them the perfect production/performer duo.

Daphni (aka Caribou, aka Dan Snaith) has announced his first full body of work under the moniker since 2012’s critically acclaimed JIAOLONG album and most recently Caribou’s seminal standout 2014 album Our Love. It comes in the form of a very special FABRICLIVE mix composed of 23 original, unreleased Daphni tracks and four new Daphni edits. Daphni was originally born out of a desire to make more immediate music, working fast and capturing the energy of those moments in smaller club spaces Dan found when touring and DJing with Caribou early on.

OL is coming back to GOST with his first double LP - a one hour masterpiece that sums up his research of the Soviet sound heritage. The album titled 'Height Difference' fluctuates through different genres and tempos reflecting the ups and downs of daily life. This refined and sincere work showcases the talent and unique sound of a prolific Russian producer.

Max Ravitz, aka Patricia allows his machines to speak for themselves, occupying the role of a composer or conductor. Several Shades Of The Same Color follows up two bold bodies of work for Opal Tapes previously and is his first album for Spectral Sound: produced in conjunction with his own label Active Cultures.

Black Asteroid is the solo guise of Bryan Black, best known as one-half of industrial techno duo MOTOR. While MOTOR's work is vocal-based and more overtly influenced by the aggressive EBM sound of Nitzer Ebb and D.A.F., Black Asteroid focuses on the dancefloor, with distorted, driving techno beats and few, if any, vocals. Originally from Minneapolis, Black worked at Paisley Park Studios as a sound designer for Prince and was a member of '90s industrial groups H3llb3nt and Haloblack. He started MOTOR with former bandmate Olivier Grasset, and the duo released a string of successful albums on NovaMute, Shitkatapult, and Dim Mak, in addition to touring with Depeche Mode in 2009.

In the dozen or so years of the Artyard's checkered career, the label has taken on the largest official reissue program of the works of Sun Ra, with earth shattering spin-offs like the incredible Egyptian Jazz album by Salah Ragab, and the essential tome for anyone's home, Hartmut Geerken and Chris Trent's book: Omniverse Sun Ra (last few in stock, by the way).

Bedrock Frequencies curated by John Digweed showcases 31 exclusive tracks from some of Bedrocks favourite artists, alongside exciting collaborations, label debuts, and some wonderful re-interpreted classics from the labels illustrious back catalogue. Across the 3 distinctive sections - Low, Mid, High- Frequencies provides a snapshot of a perfect Bedrock party, in the form of yet another musical masterclass from the Bedrock boss as he takes the listener on an unrivalled, evolving journey from start to finish.

DJ Tennis is Manfredi Romano, a lifelong music fanatic who started out managing punk bands, progressed to putting on leftfield events, set up one of the most important Italian rock and electronic booking agencies, then started the Life And Death label. Since then Life and Death has launched acts like Tale of Us, Mind against and Vaal. Tennis’s own recorded output is selective and stylish, often featuring real melodies and a musicality that can be lacking in dance music. That knack for the musical and emotive side of things characterises both cerebral mixes he has put together here.

The byproduct of a much anticipated, long-delayed, and ultimately scrapped album to have been called Technopop (and to have contained Kraftwerk's great dance single "Tour de France"), 1986's Electric Cafe suffers only slightly from lacking the thematic focus of previous Kraftwerk albums. Ironically, the '80s techno-pop wave had passed by band founders Florian Schneider and Ralf Hutter at this point, but their sly wit ("Boing Boom Tschak," "Telephone," "Sex Object") and melodic inventiveness still stand the test of time. Its segues virtually seamless, Electric Cafe plays like one mega-dance-mix, but with the tasteful restraint that has long been a Kraftwerk hallmark. This is club music for thinking men and women.

The Mix is a 1991 remix album by Kraftwerk. It featured re-recorded versions of a selection of songs which had originally appeared on the albums Autobahn through Electric Cafe. Hutter stated in interviews that he regarded The Mix as a type of live album, as it captured the results of the band's continual digital improvisations in their Kling Klang studio. The band made a return to the stage in 1990, after a nine-year hiatus from touring. Most of the songs featured on their set list from this point to the present time have been heavily rearranged in a similar fashion to what appears on the album.

a clear statement. Electronic Music doesn't need to be dark and hidden in 4 walls without daylight. Rey & Kjavik is bringing his first Longplayer called 'RKADASH' on Katermukke and it so versatile and unexpected refreshing. Known for his pumping Dj Sets the Frankfurt based producer is showing some new skills. A lot of ethnic rhymths in 'Ulima', with a hypnotic vocal and smart synth chords. 'Saraswati' - the track for a meditation while you are dancing - shaky and with a great idea of body movement.
