Delsin welcomes Spanish techno icon Reeko to their Cameron series. Pushing his impressive take on techno for the past 20 years he keeps re-inventing himself, with a recent move on Berlin's Samurai Music presenting a full drum & bass EP as perfect example of this. And also here for Delsin, it's a fresh approach exploring new sides of techno. It's broken and wiggly with dreamy riffs tying it all together. Uplifting mountain valley techno combined with stepping off-beat kick drum jams. It's a flawless pack where Reeko shows he's capable of creating playful heads down techno of any kind. More

Track list:

B1 Reeko - Seek Alignment
B2 Reeko - Samsara

Release Info:
The stars aligned to bring another of our all-time favourite producers, and indeed one of the most important musical figures from the Techno sphere to the 170/85 BPM tempo when Reeko sent us a demo late last year. All four tracks perfectly create a fully formed and distinctive stylistic adaptation and were signed instantly. If we imagined what Reeko would sound like at this tempo, we couldn't have envisioned a better reality.

These four tracks make up 'Confront The Serpent' - an ode to the machinations of an Ayahuasca ceremony and its resulting journey of discovery. The Serpent symbolises our shadows and the importance of facing them.

A hazy psychedelic aura floats across these tracks, binding them together, while the kicks possess the perfect frequencies you would expect from such a renowned kick-drum scientist. Percussive and ambient elements for each track create flawless contrasts and shade, while Reeko's subtle low-end work proves the deadly ingredient to send the tracks into a delicious level of hypnotism. 'Smile At Reptile' is especially notable for its deftly reworked, cascading breakbeat and inventive kick/break combo.

A potent new force has arrived at this tempo and we are honoured to be the label that presents the first fruits of this new perspective to the world. More

Spanish techno master Reeko makes his mark on Detroit Underground with a release exploring the darker facets of humanity in mesmerizing fashion, with rhythm and drone taking equal importance. “Lovers and Bandits” sets side A off with a brutal broken march, hard kicks building slowly into caverns of sonic noise. “BDSM” twists the sounds of pleasure and pain into an endless dark delay, leading you to the edge and right into “Hard Sex Club”, roiling with indecipherable voices and a hovering synth build that teases but never quite strikes. Side B straightens the beat with “Slaughter”, a searing background noise underpinning an evolving rotation of menace that pushes the beats forward into a pit of noise and sludge. “Sex With God” is a fierce techno rhythm, wet, crunchy, and percussive without the ubiquitous kick drum, building to a crescendo of heat and buzz. Finally, “Submissive Behavior” is a massive paranoid drone, prickly with hunger and menace. On “We Are Bandits”, Reeko strips down his explorations of sound and texture to the barest essences, making for an unsettling and intriguing listen.

Another welcome name to Soma from the Spanish camp is Reeko who delves head first into unfathomable deep techno depths with his debut release, barcelona #3am. Reeko has been building his name with great care and attention to his sound for many years and all this has culminated in a producer who can easily flip form deep, cerebral techno to full on filth. His debut on Soma happily straddles these fields as thunderous sub bass matches some equally future realms of energy. More

PoleGroup number 033 features Reeko. After the successful releases in his own Mental Disorder imprint, he comes back home with this four-tracker. Reeko's sound has evolved over the years and he has become one of the most original producers in the scene. His special approach to sound and texture, coupled with his very particular view of obscurity and mentalism, shines here in all its splendour. The first cut, "Empty Streets", is a journey through sound starting with subtle kicks that grow to find their own place in the mix, plus mechanical sequences and a melancholic string break. "Bad Mood" is an exercise in modern techno: panned alien sequences, high pitched drones and extreme sound processing which result in maximum sonic amplitude. "Dishonest Thoughts" is the ambient slice of the record: pads, atmospheres, sub-bass frequencies and darkness. "Sunday Night" goes dubby and liquid by emphasizing the low end and reverberated passages, and adding a massive stereo work. More

Embrace individualism to improve the community.

With personality loss and society standardization as the background theme, Ownlife's label boss brings his imprint back to the spotlight.

Leiras returns to his natural habitat delivering a five tracker record, combining the traditional signature sound with new textures and tonal palette.

A new chapter in the chronicles, this time, full of dance floor focused straight jams. More

Leiras concludes the Turquoise Tundra concept with a second EP that thoroughly represents the characteristic sound from the author and expand it to another horizonts. Once more, we find different tempos and intensities in another powerful combination of tracks that will see the light in early 2020. On the A side we can find a slower synthwork with multiple bass layers named Lifelink and also, Ways of Communication , a complex rhythm composition with effected voices and an intricate sound design. On the flip side, Unexplored gives a classier vision to the release, with continual and endless synth sequences flowing over hard stepping drum patterns. Everything has an end, and Turquoise Camo is the perfect epilogue for this project, pushing forward the expectre of sound, the complexity on the rhythms and a significant arrange progression. A place where the futuristic sound of IDM embraces the physic consistency of techno. More

2 Mike Parker classic cuts re-issued plus a previously unreleased dubplate, all in 1 printed sleeve package. More

Inspired by the resounding contrast, the one that maintains the balance in between two concepts. It doesn't matter how distant they are.
Leiras delivers a new excursion on this new 12", exploring the wasteland and the hostile terrains, but somehow luminous, sometimes even pleasing. Under this apparent antithesis, the first part of "Turquoise Tundra" starts in a tipping point.
"Body Language" offers a mixture of the layers with arid and resonant sounds combined, in which atmospheres have also an important role, melting everything in a solid result.
Direct, dry, evolutive. Convincingly basic. This is "Atalaya". A tool necessary in case you get lost in the middle of nowhere. Pure muscle definition.
Continuing in the other side of the record, we discover one of the most visceral and raw exercises from Ownlife's boss. In "The Rebis", the bubbly sound of the bass, and the driving kick, make this track a defensive wall, like a scar on the terrain. A place where you can take refuge when it's necessary.
In the other extreme, the pure turquoise tone gives way to the breaks and more complex structures. "North State" resumes the sings of identity that define this artist. A narrative touch that builds the bridge to the second and last part of this project... TO BE CONTINUED. More
