Press Info:
Matriarch of the Berlin techno scene, Ellen Allien, presents her latest album ‘New Life’ on BPitch on 9th July 2026, announcing with the first single ‘Steh Auf’ on 21st May.
Rooted in the electronic music community since its ferment as post-wall political protest, Ellen has been a continuous force of this egalitarian spirit, that runs deeply through her every action. Against hierarchy and convention, Ellen lives the arc from inside. Techno is a protest by existing. By dancing. By building a world inside the ruins of another one. Globally we have been creating the communities we want on dancefloors for decades, but in recent years have seen it consumed by capitalist interests.
The album is a powerful statement on personal autonomy, community responsibility, and the destructive forces threatening our planet’s beauty. Recorded between Berlin, Miami and Ibiza over the past winters; the album channels themes of empowerment, anarchy, and collective action; a call to dismantle failing systems while embracing regeneration, growth, and new hope through self-determination.
Through her signature forward-thinking techno, Ellen explores the ocean’s beauty and humanity’s impact on it, creating sonic landscapes that aim to unite and build community on dancefloors, delivering light through darkness. Ellen’s spoken words arrive like signals from another planet, her distinctive voice creating an otherworldly sonic experience. This is emotional rave music, weaving elements of minimal, darkwave, hypnotic euphoria, into a vibrant journey, with first single ‘Steh Auf’ as the rousing centre. Textured sonic landscapes richly cover the whole record where birds sing, waves crash, and spaceships fly through the Berlin night sky. The darkness gives space to explore the beauty of the world that exists from dusk to sunrise.
New Life takes many forms. Chosen families, unconventional care giving, womanhood beyond traditional scripts, embracing queerness, harnessing power to unite rather than divide. As conventions across the globe fail or are destroyed, ecological disasters and wars created for profit while leaders ignore their people, we believe that another world is not only possible but urgently necessary.

Higher Things
Press Info:
Following the release of Chris Liebing’s ‘Evolver’ album this spring, German duo FJAAK rework ‘Higher Things’ which appeared on the full-length, releasing via CLR on 29th May 2026. Long established as a formidable force within Techno, FJAAK are known for crafting high-impact, floor-focused tracks, often via their self-titled imprint, with the Berlin artists now joining a star-studded cast on Chris Liebing’s latest LP, including photographer and film director Anton Corbijn on photography, and collaborations with Charlotte de Witte, Luke Slater, The Advent, Speedy J, Terence Fixmer, Pascal Gabriel, and Daniel Miller.
Their remix reshapes ‘Higher Things’ around a rattling dub techno framework, where molten chords soften the weight of mechanical kicks while resonant stabs and swelling textures steadily intensify. The result is a hypnotic yet forceful reimagining, balancing atmospheric depth with anthemic, warehouse-ready pressure.
The original version of Chris Liebing’s ‘Higher Things’ appears on his debut solo LP, ‘Evolver’, released 27th March 2026 on CLR. Marking a distillation of over three decades at Techno’s core, the album pairs introspective depth with immediate, floor-driven impact, bringing together contributions from the likes of Luke Slater, Charlotte de Witte, Speedy J and The Advent, while ultimately remaining rooted in Liebing’s singular vision, channeling the raw, industrial energy of classic club spaces into a refined, forward-facing long player.

Press Info:
PRL_S10 starts a new chapter of the series, including exclusively produced material to push the sonic boundaries.
The setup back then was extremely flexible and had a really lovely character, which comes through very clearly here. Almost every sound has passed through a Sherman filter bank, which has defined and shaped this entire episode.
All tracks were produced using a modular synthesizer system, a sherman filterbank 2, supplemented by a curated set of analog synths.
Hugs to Bernhard from Schaltgeraete Studios, who added the finishing touches to the tracks with his highly musical mastering.
All tracks were recorded in mid 2025.
