Fearful’s debut LP for Diffrent Music is almost upon us so naturally we had to snatch up an exclusive! Through The Mist goes in deep on an atmospheric tech rumbler powered along by some of the most detailed percussion we’ve heard from Fearful yet…taking a few leaves from the Amoss playbook while retaining his own unique take on the D&B sound, this is a cracking track, and the rest of the album is equally engaging. Look out for the Interference LP dropping tomorrow on vinyl, CD and digital…
The scene in Italy continues to go from strength to strength with another sick release from Frame as he lands on Delta9! Unbreakable blends an ear for melody and atmosphere with a chunky backbone of warping tech bass and heavy hitting breaks for a fine balance of heft and soul. Wicked tune! Look for this one coming Nov 23rd at Beatport with all other stores following on Dec 7th.
Toulouse production crew Visages are only on to their second release, but they’re already making waves; following on from a top debut for Impact Music earlier this year they’ve just dropped a follow up for Flexout’s Onyx series and it features three cuts of razor sharp dark techstep that are well worthy of your attention.
Kicking things off is Para Days, featuring a simple but effective vocal hook from Messy MC; this one is a classic stepper with a solid progression and an infectious vibe. Next up the crew join forces with fellow Toulousian Trail for a hypnotic, techno-infused roller. Shifted is a proper earworm with one of the best synth leads we’ve heard in some time; subtle but absolutely vibing.
Last up, Mellow Honey brings a more soulful edge to the proceedings, keeping things minimal but adding some soft pads and sultry vocals to the crisp drums for a deeper workout. Overall it’s a great statement of intent from a crew that clearly have a lot of talent; we’re already looking forward to their next outing, wherever it might land. In the meantime, you can grab ONYX008 right now over here.
Modular Carnage bring us a deep tech heater from Ding on today’s premiere as he delivers a new remix of Retrakt’s Gravity.

Sedo teams up with St.Iff for our latest premiere as the pair drop a dirty tech rumbler for Tesseract Recordings. Heavy hitting breaks, grimey bass and an infectious hip-hop hook make for a stripped back roller with more than enough weight to move a dancefloor. Sick! Look for the EP coming Oct 26th at Bandcamp with all other stores following Nov 9th.
We’ve got an exclusive free download for you today courtesy of London producer Taelimb! Intoxicated delivers a characteristically grimey take on the tech sound with scuzzy bassline riffs and crispy drums contrasting with tripped out, siren-like vocal echoes. Sick tune!

Swiss label Drum Army are in our premiere spotlight today with a top new roller from Namarone. Taken from the label’s forthcoming Drum Anually 003 EP, Prey harnesses tribal percussion fills, deep sub and growling mid swells for an infectious slab of old-school techstep deepness. Wicked tune! Look for the EP coming Oct 25th at all good stores…
