3. Energun – Wo Es [5:40]
4. Energun – Break Me All [7:05]

INFO:
Energun is back. Famous live-act from Belarus delivers this package of mighty techno tools. Here are four tracks that will satisfy the needs of any techno warrior. Floor-filling and universal ‘Countdown’, subliminal and deep ‘Steam Unit’, stomping and simple ‘Wo Es’, and experimental offbeat ‘Break Me All’. This selection will aim for the victory and only! Stay armed and prepared, take no prisoners!

TRACKS:
1. SUB – Lyrics [9:20]
2. SUB – Sphere [7:20]
3. SUB – SP [6:30]
4. SUB – Photon Waves [6:55]

INFO:
SUB means everything subliminal, sub-bass and subconscious here. True that! The firm sound of the man from Surgut takes you to the next level here. ‘Lyrics’ is the pure essence of evil minimal sound that will scare the meth-kids. ‘Sphere’ is an encrypted prayer laid on the waves of techno psychedelia. ‘SP’ will make you fly deep into space with the speed of thought. And ‘Photon Waves’ will turn you into meditative state in the deep snowy woods of Siberia. Come back in one piece!

Vladislav Molchanov from Taganrog, label’s native city, presents his techno selection on the wheels of steel, recorded exclusively for the podcast. Classic, percussive, experimental, ghetto, wicked and wonderful branches of the most functional dance music in the world. No deep or minimal shit over here, only real fat tracks! Enjoy this fresh selection by DJ Roger in our new episode.

Here it is – the long awaited next volume in the series of ‘Expanding The Border’ compilations! Four new and freshly produces tracks, exclusively for the label. The first track was recorded live by the Finnish DIY-technohead Stak Etop – rough and raw overdriven techno, full of wicked home-made synths’ sounds. The second track was kindly given away by the German Chip Tronic – a fast and noisy, crazy piece. Those of you that are old enough, can easily recognise the samples that really rock this track. Third number is made by German’s S-Tek – fat and massive techno chaos with classic buildup. The final track is dedicated to all the Russians – you can actually hear the raw acid and accelerating 808 beats in this version of ‘Kalinka-malinka’ by Mark Hawkins, famous techno producer from UK. Hope you like the continuation of our international series. Fell free to distribute it and play these tracks!

1. Anthony K – Leaving I [05:44]
2. Anthony K – Leaving II [06:01]

INFO:
Anthony K is a new artist on the label. All that we know about him is the following – he grew up in Moldovian steppe listening to the native folk-music, and now he lives in USA, makes music when the inspiration catches him, and he’s got some really good tracks in archives. Leaving EP is his debut on the scene. Short and melancholic piano loops stand as a basis of wonderful sonic journeys, guiding you through the warm waves of tech and deep house, reminding the old good sound of 90s, which never had barriers and cliches, when the music was always open for experiments and always sincere. Take a trip on the long roads of your consciousness, close your eyes, feel the music, see the light!

It’s a cold winter behind the window. And we got a new podcast episode to warm your nose. DJ Moskit presents his exclusive mix for the label’s podcast. It’s dub, it’s deep, it’s slow and minimal techno(es). Ok, so who’s this guy? He’s from Russian town Samara, he started playing in 2004, and it looks like he’s the only DJ in his hometown who plays techno. He prefers and selects music that is made not only to move your feet, but the one that makes you think aswell. Moskit played at some big Russian festivals during the last couple of years, and he prefers vinyl, analogue sound in general. Have a nice trip with his selection of tunes. We go deeper this time!

2. Lazer Kontinent – LFO Rate Mod [6:29]
3. Lazer Kontinent – ARS Track [6:26]
4. Lazer Kontinent – VCF Peak [7:40]

INFO:
Kirill Junolainen, the man behind Lazer Kontinent project is back with a new portion of raw minimal techno beats. Recorded instantly, these tracks produce the effect which lays between silent insanity and hypnotic trance. Deep soundscapes and repetitive rhythms could be attributed to modern ‘dark techno’, but the style of LK is something different. It catches you by it’s nudity and openness, slight and conсeptual experiments add some pepper to the cliche. …just listen!

TRACKS:
1. Andels – Skadet [4:05]
2. Andels – Alexander (Feat. Jacob T) [5:12]
3. Andels – Monster Fra Norge [5:18]
4. Andels – Flekk [4:19]

INFO:
Wonderful EP from the Czech Republic’s Andels, new artist on the label. With Drum & Bass production in the past (wich is hardly believable listening the his new project), Lukas turns his vision to the wonderful domain of Deep House. Four tracks full of vivid emotions, slow rhythms and beauty. Russian Techno expands horizons of perception, the new music has come! Winter is just the ideal time for such release, just imagine yourself standing behind the window during a sunny day, everything is filled with snow and you just watch the landscape while drinking hot coffee. That’s how it should be. Lyrical release, indeed. Enjoy the positive vibes on Russian Techno!
