After the widespread success of his Otto Wagner Green EP two years ago, label head honcho Gerald VDH is back with another solo release sporting two club-ready original tracks and two equally intense remixes by musical companions Cleric and Elad Magdasi.
While the title track Martyr is a proper breakbeat roller reminiscent of Gerald VDH’s early output with a refined and mature touch, I Came Back For You starts with a simple melody that evolves into a furious arrangement of bass, percussion and vocals and can be expected to stir up every dance floor with its exceptional mentality.
Cleric’s remix is a complex re-interpretation of the title track, adding layers and percussion to form a fast-paced and straight forward techno trip. Elad Magdasi’s imagination of I Came Back For You on the other hand is playful and modern, with trance-like melodies and uplifting grooves on top of Gerald VDH’s vocal expression.
With cover art by queer London photographer Tyler Udal completing the package, Gerald VHD delivers an outstanding release that further shapes his unique vision of techno and implements the ideas of like-minded musicians to paint a dark, but certainly not depressing picture of techno in the modern age.

“Inhabited Shadows” is the new album by pioneering, Berlin-based techno artist Headless Horseman. This is his most daring and emotional release to date: the culmination of live performance, studio experimentation, and global exploration.
A total sonic experience, “Inhabited Shadows” takes listeners on a deeply personal journey through Headless Horseman’s creative brain. Dark industrial synths and broken beats form the spinal cord. A spirit of lightness and compassion guides the way forward.
From its opening, the album sets hard edges and metallic surfaces against dense and delicate textures. A-tonal figures and percussive attacks merge with melodic flights and soulful rhythms. Classical counterpoint and cinematic soundscapes conspire together. The result is discordant joy.
Headless Horseman’s vitality comes from his determination to remain open and vulnerable as an artist. “Inhabited Shadows”, recorded over eight months in 2019, reflects a period of intensive growth. Each of its nine tracks ventures into uncharted territory, embracing many moods, changing climates, old ghosts, and new risks.
“Over years of trials and tribulations, music has been the antidote”, says Headless Horseman. “I’ve learned to live in shadows and darkness. Now I’m chipping off pieces of my shell and portraying directly how I feel without compromise. I still inhabit shadows, but I can move back and forth between darkness and light.”

Belgium-based French producer, DJ and Initial Berlin label owner Julian Muller has been slowly making his mark on the contemporary Techno scene over the past few years. Muller initially stepped into the limelight as one half of 90 Process alongside Hadone, with releases on Pushmaster Discs and 10 Pills Mate before going solo and delivering material for the likes of Arts Collective, Blue Hour, Bipolar Disorder and of course Lobster Theremin which will release his inaugural long player here.
Across the ‘Playing With The Devil’ LP Muller delivers his signature high octane aesthetic, fusing raw energetic rhythms with ethereal synth work and rave-leaning influence.
Tracks like ‘His Spirit All Around’, ‘Not Afraid’ and ‘Inner Fire’ all perfectly showcase Julian’s influence from early Hardcore, Trance and Rave music while contributions like opening cut ‘Final Devolution’, ‘Shaping The Future’ and ‘Leaving Earth’ edge towards a softer, more musical side with hints of Detroit Techno and early 2000’s IDM.
Muller also explores more glitched out electronica styles with choppy breaks, baroquely evolving synth melodies and cinematic soundscapes ebbing and flowing throughout ‘Come To Play With Us’ and ‘Eternal Damnation’. All in all resulting in a complete long player perfectly encapsulating Muller broad sonic palette.
‘Playing With The Devil’ LP drops Friday 10th September, via Lobster Theremin.
