Terence Fixmer Lines Up Next Ostgut Ton EP

Terence Fixmer will release a new solo EP with Ostgut Ton.

Fixmer has been active under various guises (such as Eisbär, Cyborg, Gemini 9, and Scanner) since the early ’90s, occupying his own niche that combines industrial, electro, techno, and EBM sounds into one cohesive whole. He’s also well-known for his collaborative work with Nitzer Ebb‘s Douglas McCarthy.

Having remixed Depeche Mode and DJ Hell as well as releasing a new Fixmer/McCarthy single with McCarthy, 2017 has already proven to be a productive year for the French techno producer. With the new Force EP, the Berghain resident follows up on 2016’s Beneath The Skin EP by offering “four stylistically different but congenial techno scenarios for club use.”

Tracklisting 12“ / Digital:

A1.Force
A2. Sidewalk
B1.Melting Planets
B2.Striking Patterns

Force EP is scheduled for July 28 release, with clips streamable below.

Blank & Jones ‘Wishing’

Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones formed their production duo back in 1997. After dancing at KU in the late ’80s they went on to play trance in the big room clubs in Ibiza at night, and in the day, they played at Café Del Mar. They headlined Amnesia and Eden but were also well known for their chill out sets at El Divino. Together, they were “part of the beginning of trance” alongside Paul Oakenfold and Tiesto, and they have names including The Cure‘s Robert Smith, New Order‘s Bernard Sumner, Sarah McLachlan, and the Pet Shop Boys.

Now, for the 10th Edition of the RELAX series, which started back in 2003, Blank & Jones present 20 tracks of warm acoustic sounds and subtle electronica. One of these tracks, titled “Wishing,” is exclusively available to download below.

franskild ‘Flotta Runt’

Earlier this month, Trunkfunk dropped its 40th release, the Isted Grill Nights EP from franskild.

franskild is a collaboration between Love Ojensa and Tim Soderstrom, two Swedish artists who are carving a name for themselves on the electronic scene. As franskild, Ojensa and Soderstrom craft weird and warped house music that touches on broken beat, garage, and pop-influenced pastures. Their latest EP follows releases on Sweat It Out! and Lotss Records with two sun-tinged originals and remixes from Aron McFaul and Shakarchi & Stranéus.

In support of the release, the duo have offered up a bonus cut titled “Flotta Runt” as today’s XLR8R download. Like on the release, franskild inject “Flotta Runt” with a myriad of influences for a groove-led five-minute ride.

You can pick up “Flotta Runt” below, with the EP available here.

Delta Funktionen Preps New Album, Shares Track

Delta Funktionen is back with a new album, titled Junior High School Excursion To The Parallel World.

The LP follows 2015’s sprawling Wasteland project with eight tracks of sci-fi-infused techno and electro that are presented as a double 12″ on his own Radio Matrix outpost. For its inspiration and theme, the album looks to soundtrack a school excursion to “The Parallel World” where the kids can choose from three activities that include sneaking “into the offices of the corrupted leaders,” participating in the scams of the corrupted leaders, or “For those of you who already gave up on humans, there’s the chance to take care of the last surviving animal; the hyena!”

Musically, the release is split into two differing sides: the first disc focuses more on melody and classy grooves, whereas side two looks to the more abstract, experimental side to Delta Funktionen.

Ahead of the release, which can be pre-ordered here, you can stream opening cut, “scitiloP,” via the player below.

Premiere: Hear a Menacing Techno Cut From phile

On July 3, Sydney’s phile will debut on their own Deep Seeded Records with a self-titled EP.

Comprised of Hannah Lockwood and Gareth Psaltis, phile have been operating within the tight Sydney scene for years now, delivering their dynamic live techno across the city in support of some techno’s biggest names, including Rodhad, Container, Gunnar Haslam, and DJ Pete, to name a few.

The duo’s debut follows suit with five hard-angled cuts of varying intensity. From the gritty broken beats of opening cut, “Found In Blood,” to the harsh and menacing “Abhor,” which features the vocals of Karina Utomo, and the poignant closing cut, “Deadzone,” phile deliver a standout introduction to their visceral brand of mind-bending techno.

Ahead of the release, which can be pre-ordered here, you can stream the post-punk-esque “Marauder” via the player below.

Will Saul and Tee Mango Present Primitive Trust

Will Saul and Tom Mangan (a.k.a Tee Mango) are set release a series of EPs as Primitive Trust.

After losing contact for many years, the two reconnected at a festival in Morocco before deciding to spend some time in the studio together. Using only the gear they had (MPC 2000, Ableton, Roland 101, Juno, Fender Rhodes, various FX pedals), they set about to work to create tracks with “a commitment to trusting their instincts and to go with their feelings.”

The result is a series of three EP’s to be released over the course of four months. Each EP will feature two or three original tracks and one fresh remix, with unique artwork and an illustration by visual auteur Geoff Mcfetridge.

The first, titled Power On, is scheduled for July 14 release via Aus Music, with the title track streamable in full below.

Lapalux Shares New Track

British producer Lapalux has shared “4EVA” (feat. Talvi), a new track from his forthcoming third album for Brainfeeder, Ruinism.

The instrumental was born out of a jam session playing guitar, Korg Polysix and messing about looping a cassette, but it didn’t gel until Lapalux reached out to Talvi. “I’d been a fan of her band Prince Innocence for a while and loved her low slung, seemingly effortless style of singing,” says Lapalux. “As soon as I got the vocals from her it all fell into place and I rebuilt the whole song again to fit around them.”

Ruinism is released via Brainfeeder digitally on June 30 with vinyl and CD formats following on July 28, including a superlative and strictly limited edition deluxe vinyl 2LP with gloss and emboss detailing produced in collaboration with Parisian atelier Imprimerie du Marais.

Meanwhile, “4EVA” (feat. Talvi) is streamable in full via the player above.
