Press Info:
Björn Torwellen debuts on CLR with the ‘Binary Fate’ EP

It marks the first release of 2025 for Chris Liebing’s label.

Björn Torwellen’s ‘Binary Fate’ EP kickstarts CLR’s 2025 with three pounding Techno tracks 31st January 2025. From the razor-sharp percussion and raw bassline power in title track ‘Binary Fate’, to the cavernous dub hits and shadowy atmospheres of ‘Fear of the Unknown’, before closing on the mind-warping signals of ‘Lost in Transmission’ – Torwellen’s ‘Binary Fate’ is yet another supersized debut on the seminal CLR.

Following Björn Torwellen’s appearance on the CLR podcast in June 2024, the Cologne-based artist now definitively joins Chris Liebing’s label with the ‘Binary Fate’ three-tracker this January. With a career spanning over two decades, Björn is known for his discography on labels like De-Konstrukt, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, nonlinear systems, and now CLR.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as Risa Taniguchi, The Southern, and Klint.

Press Info:
KID 606 is one that many have become acquainted with, adored by the critics he can be found in most current music magazines and performs world-wide continually. Whether it be reworking ´Straight Outta Compton´, cheekily stating that ´Luke Vibert Can Kiss My Indie-Punk Whiteboy Ass´ on his recent Ipecac (Mike Patton) release or running his own label Tigerbeat 6, this barely legal talent has had a distinctive effect with his music and the most prominent force behind this current wave of laptop talent.´P.S. I Love You´ is a step into more tranquil listening than what he is most known for producing and a remarkable maturating over his ´Soccer Girl´ E.P. This is KID 606´s second contribution to MILLE PLATEAUX , his track on the essential MILLE PLATEAUX `´Clicks& Cuts´ compilation has heralded by The Wire as ´the stand out track´ and surprised many with his unique ability to melodically construct unessentialist sounds. KID 606 immerses himself in a more revealing territory of the laptop musician, a soothing assemblage of intonations. From the click-techno puissance of ´Where We Left Off´ and ´Twirl´ to the easing resonance of ´Sometimes´, the cascading vehemence of ´Strum´, or the brilliance of ´Now I Wanna Be A Cowboy´, ´P.S. I Love You´ takes the fabrication of minimalist composition and rekindles it with his distinctive signature.

Press Info:
Out Of Place Records’ Insolate announces second album.

It follows her 2019 album ‘Order Is Chaos’, with ‘Full Disclosure’ landing 7th March 2025.

Insolate unveils the ‘Full Disclosure’ album, arriving 7th March 2025 on her Out Of Place Records, released on digital and double record vinyl. It’s the Croatian artist’s second full-length release, already supported by the likes of Rodhad, Stephanie Sykes, and Nastia, following 2019’s ‘Order Is Chaos’ on the label and its subsequent remix album, which featured reworks by Ben Sims, Pfirter, Sev Dah, Amotik, Under Black Helmet, Volster, ASEC, and Flamina.

“‘Full Disclosure’ is a reflection of who I am today. It represents the music I love to play, featuring high-energy bangers alongside functional tracks while experimenting with chords, vocals and melodies. As the title suggests, Full Disclosure is about openness, transparency, and revealing the full truth of who I am as an artist” – Insolate

‘On Your Knees’ starts Insolate’s ‘Full Disclosure’ LP with rolling dub-infused rhythm drenched in a subtle but potent 303, an otherwordly vocal providing a tripped-out vibe. Closing out the A-side is ‘Stand Strong’, a pacey groove with an effective vocal sample and well-swung drums shot through with razor-sharp stabs. On the flip, Insolate teams up with Croatian guitarist PEP for ‘The Proof’, a real banger that marks his debut in Techno production featuring mind-melting arpeggio sequences and a shadowy atmosphere. This is before ‘Survival Symphony’ strips things back via minimal drum work and electrifying synthlines that build in intensity.

The title track of Insolate’s ‘Full Disclosure’ album, perfect peak-time cut ‘Full Disclosure’, continues with glitchy sequences, a bass bin-shaking groove, and another high-impact vocal sample. The aptly named ‘Playground’ then picks up speed with racing drums and rattling percussion while synths wriggle around playfully, followed by ‘Big City’, which features hauntingly enchanting melodies laid over bubbling arps and a steady beat. Insolate’s ‘The Biggest Fan’ is another rave-ready trip with carefully crafted polyrhythms which won’t fail to hypnotise the dancefloor before ‘Ocean of Tears’ closes out Insolate’s stellar long-player via a captivating vocal harmony and acid-soaked 909s.

Since 1997, Insolate has become synonymous with the Croatian Techno scene via her HUSH! and TRAUM event series and her Osijek-based Out Of Place record label that’s spotlighted artists like Annē, Francois X, and many more. She has built an impressive international career that’s led her play at Berghain, Rex, and Tomorrowland, while her productions have seen her win the support of titans like Laurent Garnier and Ben Klock and join labels such as Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver and Bpitch.

‘Full Disclosure’ is a masterful body of work that shows the complete wealth of Insolate’s talent and two-decade-long experience in Techno.

out now: Marcel Dettmann – Fear Of Programming (Remixes) [Dekmantel]

 

Artist:
Marcel Dettmann

 

Title:
Fear Of Programming (Remixes)

 

Label:
Dekmantel

 

Cat#:
DKMNTL097

 

Release Date:
14th February 2025

 

Format:
vinyl, download & streaming

 

Tracklist:
01.
Suffice To Predict

04.

05.
Fear Of Programming
(JASSS Remix)

 

Press Info:
Dekmantel return to Marcel Dettmann’s celebrated 2022 LP Fear Of Programming for a remix package featuring five of the biggest names in contemporary club music. Dettmann’s unmistakably sleek, focused production style is the perfect springboard for all kinds of imaginative interpretations that touch on techno, footwork, electro and ambient.

Donning his L.B. Dub Corp alias, Luke Slater kicks off the A side by paring ‘Suffice To Predict’ down to its fundamentals and rebuilds a taut, punchy version out of the component parts. SHERELLE explores a sweet spot between techno and footwork in her natural 160 BPM zone on her angular, reverb-heavy version of ‘x12’.

On the B side, Dopplereffekt supplement the cascading arpeggios of album closer ‘Fear Of Programming’ with their inimitable strain of dystopian electro. Interstellar Funk turns album centrepiece ‘Water’ into an atmospheric techno voyage shaped out by melancholic pads and fluttering leads. JASSS takes ‘Fear Of Programming’ further out through billowing clouds of ambience and dislocated vocal impressions, arriving at a bold and pensive closing statement to this heavyweight clutch of remixes.
