PERCY X - X TRAK 1 & Rawax Motor City Edition -- 2025 "Percy X’s X Trak 1 & 2 is a raw, high-pressure slice of mid-90s techno that still feels futuristic today. It was one of my favourite reissues of last year — I played it all summer long." Buy on discogs BANDULU - REPERCUSSIONSFoundation Sound Works - 1996 "Repercussions by Bandulu is a landmark dub techno album that blends deep atmospheres with stripped-back dub rhythmic precision. Its spacious production and haunting textures helped define a more cerebral side of UK techno in the mid-90s." Buy on Discogs MR. G - GETTIN' SOMEWHERE? EPPhoenix G - 2025 "A Mr. G is never missing in my bag! The EP feels loose, funky, and deeply machine-driven, balancing soulful repetition with the raw spontaneity that defines his live hardware-based sound." Buy on Discogs LUKE HESS - ARKEODeepLabs -- 2025 "Arkeo by Luke Hess explores deep, spiritual techno through warm chords, submerged rhythms, and subtle melodic movement. For me the record creates an immersive and introspective listening experience." Buy on Discogs SPACE DRUM MEDITATION - SWAMP SPIRITParyìa - 2025 "And the last one Is from my own Label: Meditation Swamp Spirit from Space Drum drifts through psychedelic textures, tribal percussion, and hypnotic ambient layers. The release feels ritualistic and organic, blending experimental electronics with a swampy, trance-inducing mood that slowly unfolds over time." Buy on Discogs
