Press Info:
Italian techno innovator SLV returns with his second EP on Mutual Rytm, serving up a blend of raw analogue power and cinematic depth.

Sicily’s SLV is able to merge technical mastery with emotional resonance. His potent techno sounds have come via the likes of SHWD’s Mutual Rytm and Slam’s Soma, and unite timeless yet forward-thinking sonics. On ‘Fleeting Dreams’, he continues to refine his signature sound while channelling introspection and intensity into a collection of meticulously crafted cuts that balance precision and feeling, energy and space. Each track reveals a different side of his sonic identity: hypnotic rhythms intertwine with evolving soundscapes, while layers of distortion and melody merge into a dreamlike tension between the mechanical and the organic.

‘Fading Moments’ kicks off with a sleek blend of driving, supple kicks and warm synth ripples, while a euphoric vocal cry is buried deep to amp up the emotion. ‘Scenario’ then brings icy hi-hats and sinewy synths to give a futuristic feel to the unrelenting, high-pressure drums down low. ‘Daruma’ has a darker energy with menacing textures and paranoid FX bringing the rolling drums to life, while ‘Bass Grit’ has a hunched-up rhythm, with groaning pads and fizzing static electricity that charge up the party. To close, ‘Shimmer’ sinks down into a muscular and deep rhythm that’s marbled with restless synths and ever-rising tension.

In addition, digital bonus cuts ‘Trust’ and ‘1990’ offer different perspectives, with slamming drums, seductive vocals, and feisty synth loops making for two more bold, immersive techno weapons.

Press Info:
Chontane returns to Mutual Rytm with a more raw and aggressive sound than before across six powerful new tracks on his latest EP, ‘Permanent’.

Berlin-based Ukrainian DJ/producer Chontane has had a busy twelve months. Capped off by recently launching his own new TANE label, the exciting talent has been working hard to reinvent and refresh his sound in the studio. Mastering new techniques to push things to the next level, this EP and return to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm proves he has succeeded and then some. Where previous works on the likes of ARTS and Rekids were full and more melodic, here he has restricted himself and gone for a more visceral sound. Developed and built in all new ways with an innovative approach to sound design and arrangement, the tracks on the package showcase a more serious and harder-hitting side to his sound as he unveils his impactful ‘Permanent’ EP.

Opener ‘Graze’ has a monstrous feel to it, with ghoulish synth loops and industrial textures all coming on strong and heavy. As it bangs along, incendiary hi-hats and lithe pads all bring extra weight and detail. ‘Cumaru’ is a high-paced techno workout with a frenzy of synths and percussion, all making for dense layers of heavily textured sound. ‘Schima’ brings some big techno bounce in the drums and more hurried, rusty synth loops that lock you into the darkness. Showing yet another side, ‘Lauan’ is a little more paired back with pounding tribal grooves and bright synths, bringing relentless yet funk-fuelled intensity. ‘Vevis’ is the most melodic of the lot – a heavy track but with subtle optimism in the rising background synths that will surely get hands in the air.

Last of all is digital bonus ‘Makore’, a cauldron of intensity with scraping hits and relentless drums, vastly oversized hi-hats and slamming bass. This high-impact, beautifully brutal yet groove-heavy techno takes Chontane’s sound into new realms, and delivers an impressive return on a label continuing to push the genre forward.

Press Info:
Raffaele Attanasio drops his first EP for two years as he heads to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm for his ‘Quasar’ EP.

A product of Naples’ rich techno history, Italian DJ, producer and musician Raffaele Attanasio is an artist who represents the city’s iconic sound while drawing from influences across the Atlantic and the genre’s home of Detroit. Garnering plaudits from artists including Jeff Mills, Len Faki and Ben Sims, while releasing on Mills’ Axis alongside Non Series, Third Wave Black, and his own Letter From Jerusalem imprint, Attanasio’s eclectic sound now delves into Italian techno of the early 2000s as he makes his label debut on Mutual Rytm – revealing his first EP in over two years and showcasing a new side to his sound with ‘Quasar’.

Title track ‘Quasar’ brings a tunnelling groove beneath floating melodies and zipping synths, before A2 ‘Asterion’ combines dubby stabs and punchy kicks effortlessly. On the flip, ‘Blazar’ is a squelchy acid-led trip guided by sharp metallic hats, with ‘Axial Inclination’ utilising jittering drums and slinking bass to keep the energy levels rolling. ‘Chara’ shapes up the physical package, a skipping, spirited and classy cut fusing hazy textures and crisp percussion, while digital exclusive ‘SGR’ sees things return to acid territories, with purchasers able to access a darker impactful take on techno.

Press Info:
SHDW & Obscure Shape invite Invexis for his first 12” in almost 20 years as the German live act and producer returns to Mutual Rytm for his impactful EP, ‘Odyssey’.

With an ethos of merging the past with the present and future, harnessing classic techno influences and shaping them into the sounds of tomorrow, SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm imprint has become an exciting home for rising talents of note and established artists to shine a spotlight on the genre. However, the next release on the label welcomes a long-awaited return from Georg Köhler, aka Invexis. Known for releases such as ‘Kalibreur’ on Salpeter Records and ‘Chiffre’ on Planet Rhythm Records, with further releases via Compound and Kazumi, the German talent crafted and shaped his own sound within the techno landscape in the early 2000s. Returning with his first EP release in close to two decades, late December welcomes a return to Mutual Rytm, following on from the inclusion of his track ‘Elektronenwind’ on the label’s ‘Federation Of Rytm I’ release, as he delivers a selection of dynamic, melodic and driving techno offerings across ‘Odyssey’.

‘Silhouette’ opens the package with authority as spirited drums and spiralling synths take hold of a twisting and turning lead effort, with ‘Non Return To Zero’ building a spiralling groove via frantic yet measured percussion, sweeping melodies and funky stabs. ‘Red Storm’ opens the B-side with a more up-front production combining harsher metallic tones with relentless drive and crashing hats, while ‘Body Impulse’ utilises dubby stabs and eerie atmospherics to balance light and dark. The title track ‘Odyssey’ closes the vinyl offering, with a euphoric and rapturous production harnessing resonant chords, looping drum grooves and elated leads to bring things to an impressive crescendo and deliver a record that will remain in the ears of listeners for a long time.

As always with the label, digital purchasers are treated to an exclusive track as Köhler combines zig-zagging grooves, refined synths and off-kilter glitches and bleeps across digital exclusive ‘Transition’.
