Press Info:
Spaaax returns to MindTrip with Eleven D, his debut solo EP on the label following his contribution to the Mutable Minds XI compilation.

Based in Moldova and resident at the Metanoia Underground series, Spaaax builds music from the depths of the subconscious — hypnotic, rhythmically driven, and deeply atmospheric. Eleven D captures that approach across four productions that move between the mental and the physical without losing momentum.

This is MindTrip.

out soon: Steve Rachmad – 3-6-9 EP [Dekmantel]

Artist:
Steve Rachmad

Title:
3-6-9 EP

Label:
Dekmantel

Cat#:
DKMNTL121

Release Date:
19th June 2026

Format:
vinyl, download & streaming

Tracklist:
A1.
3 Creation Energy

A2.
6 Physical Manifestation

B1.
9 Completion And Delivery

Press Info:
One of the true, undisputed pioneers of Dutch techno, Steve Rachmad appears on Dekmantel for an EP of peerless machine music. On the ‘3-6-9’ EP, the artist also known as Sterac, Parallel 9 and many other names plies a powerful trade in funked up, gritty and soulful techno made the proper way.

The connection between Rachmad and Dekmantel reaches back many years via his frequent appearances at the Dekmantel Festival — he has two performances at the 2026 edition as well as sets at Dekmantel Selectors lined up later in the summer. The ‘3-6-9’ EP lands ahead of an album and world tour that marks 45 years in service to electronic music, nodding to Rachmad’s earliest roots in electro funk through to his day- one embrace of house and techno as it made its way across the Atlantic from Chicago and Detroit.

There’s a rowdy, rave-spirited energy to the synth hook bucking its way through the centre of ‘3 Creation Energy’, coming on in brassy tones laced with artful distortion while the drums dutifully jack the way they ought to. There’s a more linear, pressure cooker quality to the tidal filter work guiding ‘6 Physical Manifestation’ to its own energetic peaks, while ‘9 Completion and Delivery’ surfs on coursing waves of arpeggiated lead lines before breaking through to the oceanic calm of grandiose pad tones.

There’s no mystery to unpick here — this is quite simply techno perfection made with the instinct and experience of a master of the form, whose life is synonymous with every inch of the culture.

Press Info:
LIP017 welcomes Bochum-based artist Aleeks to Life In Patterns. Despite being born in the early 2000s, he is deeply inspired by the sound of that era, channeling its essence into a forward-thinking take on modern techno. He has already made a name for himself with releases on ARTS, Oktogon, and Rave Your Soul.

His mini album “Bloom” offers a fresh reinterpretation of old-school foundations. Blending early 2000s infl uences with contemporary techno aesthetics, the record delivers a modern edge while remaining rooted in the fundamentals—driving rhythms, percussion-heavy grooves, and powerful low-end energy. Rich chords and atmospheric pads add emotional depth, shaping a distinctive and immersive sonic identity.

Spanning eight tracks, “Bloom” moves effortlessly from peak-time intensity to ambient textures and functional club tools, capturing the full spectrum of Aleeks’s sound and providing versatility for every moment of the night.
“Bloom” will be released on June 5, 2026, on vinyl and digital formats.

out soon: Irakli – Staubsauger 01 [Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound]

Artist:
Irakli

Title:
Staubsauger 01

Label:
Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound

Cat#:
IRIS023

Release Date:
June 2026

Format:
vinyl, download & streaming

Tracklist:
A1.
Under The Carpet

A2.
Power Cut

B1.
Silence Is An Input

B2.
Feinstaub For Internal Use Only

Press Info:
The Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound proudly presents STAUBSAUGER 001, the first documented experiment in sonic particle collection. Georgian producer Irakli sweeps in with four techno transmissions engineered to vacuum the dancefloor from the inside out.

From the hidden particles of “Under The Carpet” to the sudden electric shock of “Power Cut,” side A explores the mechanics of hoovering. Flip the record and the research goes further: “Silence Is An Input” and “Feinstaub (For Internal Use Only)” release a controlled cloud of microscopic grooves.

Minimal, cosmic, and slightly grimy, STAUBSAUGER 001 is techno for late-night dusty floors and interplanetary basements.

No need to handle with care. Keep some space in the bag.
