Press Info:
Cristian Vogel reprises his NEL alias for his sixth outing on EPM as he presents ‘NEL and The Instrument of Shapes’, an EP featuring two new tracks from the electronic maverick.

Cristian Vogel is a long-term innovator in the composition, mixing and performance of electronic sounds. Spanning over 30 years in the vanguard of international electronic music, his work has been acknowledged as an outstanding influence in the fields of composition for stage, club culture and studio. His numerous album releases have graced such esteemed labels as Tresor, Mille Plateaux, novamute, Shitkatapult, Sub Rosa and more recently his own Endless Process label.

His studio work as NEL is a departure from his more experimental album and sound design compositions and while these will continue, NEL tracks bear a closer resemblance to Cristian’s earlier production style, delivering tougher beats and rhythmic textures primarily using Modular synths in a hands on, improvised live-to-tape process.

‘The Instrument of Shapes’ sees Cristian bury himself back into the deep grooves of dub techno with wonderful subtlety and sound craft to create a slow burning cavern of sound whilst ‘Stepping Stones’ is a more carefree and loose modular affair that flits across bass and dark electronica with scant regard for a regular beat.

Press Info:
Following February’s “Diminishing Returns” by Vinicius Honorio & R.M.K, James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records continues its 30-year celebrations with a new EP by Kr!z who returns with his fourth EP for the label. Kr!z made his Blueprint debut in fine style with his “Neutrino EP” in 2022 and went on to deliver the “Revelation EP” in 2023 and “Horo EP” in 2024 so it’s fitting that he’s back to join in this landmark label anniversary.

Kr!z has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. Influenced by the hypnotic and energetic sound helmed by veterans such as Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmad and James Ruskin, he gradually but steadily developed his own identity in the international techno scene.

After making a name for himself as a skilled DJ with sharp focus and a quick mixing style in home country Belgium and the Netherlands, Kr!z launched Token Records in 2007. It has since been a leading outlet for heady, purist sounds. He rapidly established the label as a fixed value with a timeless and powerful sound and took it around the world with label nights on every continent. Token remains important in defining techno today – always straightforward, sometimes weird, often catchy – all under the helm of Kr!z as avid A&R.

After 12 years spent assiduously focused on curating the Token discography, showcasing artists he has nurtured and supported over this time, and incorporating the connoisseur’s knowledge and experience he has cultivated in his work as a DJ, in 2019 he released his own debut EP “Mantra” on the label, earning high acclaim from both media and key DJs. Since then, he has continued to develop a strong body of work, regularly releasing on the influential Blueprint Records and SK_eleven alongside his own Token imprint, and producing a series of notable remixes. This steady output has established him as a key figure within the techno landscape, recognized for both consistency and artistic depth.

Press Info:
Click † Click lands on BPitch Berlin with Strassen EP, a raw and uncompromising statement forged in the depths of Berlin’s techno underground.

Click † Click’s connection to electronic music began early, sparked by hearing Kraftwerk as a child and developing into a lifelong focus on machines, rhythm and repetition. Starting in minimal techno, his sound has continuously evolved through Chicago, Jackin’ and Acid House before settling into a harder, industrial techno language. That evolution is driven by experience rather than trends – refined through years of production, label work and playing clubs across the world.
