Press Info:
Following his recent appearance on Blueprint, Mark Broom returns to the label with a unique project, revisiting the work of techno pioneer Regis. Entitled “Power Is Neutral”, the release sees Broom rework a selection of seminal Regis recordings originally released on Downwards
Records across the albums Gymnastics (1996), Delivered Into The Hands Of Indifference (1998) and Penetration (2001).

Known as one of the key architects of the Birmingham techno sound, Regis (Karl O’Connor) helped shape British techno through his work as co-founder of Downwards Records and a catalogue that continues to influence generations of artists.

For Mark Broom, few artists embody British rave culture quite like Regis. Drawing on source material that has long stood as a cornerstone of UK techno, Broom approaches these edits with
both respect and imagination. As he puts it, “Mark Broom is like some modern day Bagpuss… he has fired up his techno mouseorgan and polished old relics to make them all shiny and new.”

Power Is Neutral delivers six expertly crafted reinterpretations that bridge the raw energy of Regis’ original works with Broom’s unmistakable contemporary dancefloor sensibility, bringing
these timeless tracks to a new generation of listeners.

Following EPs from Vinicius Honorio & R.M.K in February, Kr!z in March and Oliver Ho in early-May, James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records continue the 30th anniversary with another label stalwart as Mark Broom returns with his new EP, “Reality Check”.

Mark Broom is a renowned British techno DJ and music producer whose career spans over three decades.

He has collaborated with esteemed record labels such as Defected, Rekids, Warp, Ifach, M-Plant, Cocoon, Glitterbox and his own Beard Man (launched in 2009). In addition to his solo projects, Broom has engaged in numerous collaborations. He partnered with James Ruskin to form The Fear Ratio, exploring experimental sounds that blend elements of hip-hop, IDM and techno with four albums (to date) on Skam Records, Tresor and of course, Blueprint. Another highlight has been their “Ruskin & Broom” EPs which have peppered the label’s roster.

Now based in Norfolk (England), Broom continues to be a driving force in the techno scene. His work has been described as ranging from “club-ready techno and house to left-field electro, downtempo and IDM” highlighting his adaptability and broad musical range. Returning to his driving Techno roots, his “Reality Check” EP drops 29 May on vinyl and digitally. An essential release for fans of both Broom and Blueprint.

Press Info:
Continuing Blueprint’s 30th anniversary celebrations, James Ruskin welcomes the return of Oliver Ho, whose relationship with the label is deep-rooted.

Oliver Ho has spent the last 30 years devoting his life to creating some of the most intense and compelling electronic music out there. Debuting his signature raw sound in 1996 on Blueprint Records, he cemented himself in the underground of the ’90s UK techno scene. With a plethora of aliases, he has navigated his way through many different genres. From the frenetic tribal sounds of his own Meta imprint, the off the wall house music made as Birdland and Raudive, the grinding industrial of Broken English Club and the heavily textured ambient of his Slow White Fall and Zov Zov projects. While pushing and pulling at the fringes of electronic music, at the very centre has always been the beating heart of hypnotic techno, an art form that is both brutal and bewitching; techno as ritual magic. Oliver’s live shows and DJ sets showcase this expression of music as shamanic experience, metallic and relentless, pure and direct.

An integral figure in shaping Blueprint’s early sound, Oliver Ho returned in 2016 for their 20th anniversary with the “Burning Heretics EP”, which was followed by a remastered reissue of 1999’s “Awakening The Sentient”. So it’s fitting that he’s now back for this latest milestone with a new EP, “Our Secret Religion” dropping in May.

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:
James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026. Kicking off the festivities Vinicius Honorio returns to the label but this time it’s alongside R.M.K who makes his Blueprint debut.

Vinicius Honorio is a Brazilian-born, London-based DJ and producer whose vision of techno is built on hypnotic repetition, gritty textures and emotional weight. With a career spanning over 2 decades, Vinicius has emerged as a powerful voice in contemporary techno — raw, focused and unflinchingly honest. His productions blend relentless drive with intricate groove, often laced with haunting melodic undertones and has released music on the likes of Figure, Token, Mord and SK_eleven, as well as Blueprint.

Hailing from London, R.M.K is the alias of Fossil Archive label head Roberto, representing a faster and more intense take on his unique brand of Techno. During his 20+ year career in music, he has formed friendships and worked in partnership with other respected artists such as Trevino (Marcus Intalex), Jamie Anderson, Robert Owens, Goldie and Nastia. Although the focus is always on the very heart of the most raucous of raves, R.M.K never shies away from groove and funk.

Making a complementary duo, their collaborative “Diminishing Returns” EP is released in February with a 4-track vinyl EP, plus a bonus track on the digital edition.
