Best known for his ambient excursions as Voices From The Lake alongside Donato Dozzy, Neel joinsToken with the 4-track Calcata for Token 76. From his collaborations with Dozzy to his solo work for their joint-run label Spazio Disponibile, Neel‘s studio experience as a mastering engineer has gained him recognition as a producer who pays great attention the technical aspects of his sound.
Spazio Disponibile welcomes yet another new artist to their realm. This time the label welcomes producer Grand River for its 11th release, and one that marks something of a new direction where ambient and experimental music will sit next to more dance floor fare. It’s a direction already hinted at with Marco Shuttles full album earlier this year, and is now realised once more by Aimée Portioli. She is a multi instrumentalist, soundtrack composer and known for her deep and atmospheric sound and debuts on Donato Dozzy and Neel’s label with four lush ambient explorations.

Klockworks is a Techno / Minimal Techno label run since 2006 by DJ & producer Ben Klock from Berlin, Germany. Its rooster of composers and DJs includes Ben Klock, DVS1, Etapp Kyle, ROD, Trevino, Heiko Laux and Jay Clarke amongst others.
Ben Klock is one of techno’s greatest DJs. He offers the whole package: fantastic mixing, excellent taste, an instantly recognizable sound. The Berghain resident has a remarkable ear for finding tracks that slot perfectly into his DJing style, and he knows just when to let in some light to keep things from getting samey. Klockworks, which started 11 years ago, has become a dependable label for techno tools with the occasional flashy standout. But it’s a formula that, across the label’s 20-track, six-disc compilation, is stretched a little too thin.
Klockworks 20‘s best tracks reflect Klock‘s lighter side. “Dance Of The Warrior” from Georgian producer Newa, is unusually indulgent, with a fat 303 and a melodic bassline. The late Trevino, responsible for some of Klockworks’ best records, continues that streak on the fantastic “Sombre Tones” ROD‘s thick, gaudy synth textures on “Extra” provide another highlight.
We are honored to have one of the best forward thinking artists in the roster back in our catalog, This time on Collective. ASC is back to with 3 original cuts that define hypnotism on another level. The record contains also a very rare gem, Acronym is back on the label, his remix of the title track ‘Sentinel‘ is pure class.

A foray into deep, organic, cinematic dance music. Subterranean bass, intercepted alien transmissions, and stripped down dance-beats meld with sheets of sounds that roll over the listener like waves lapping up on the shore. Shimmering, watery, brain hemisphere synchronization tones caress and melt stress away. Dance floor friendly tracks that work equally well in one s private listening space. Immersive music with a distinctive aquatic quality.
Inspired by Detroit & Berlin s dance genres, but tempered by more ambience / atmosphere than one would expect from those genres. Music without harshness or rough edges. Fuzzy, out-of-focus, soft-sounds that slip in and out of the listener’s consciousness. Uniquely melds current dance rhythms with lushness and spirituality. Synesthetic sounds that trigger sensory experiences in cognitive pathways other than hearing smells of perfumes, thoughts of colours, and altered perception of time and space.

With a sum total of 2 12’s released for Samurai Horo and Red Seal, Theme has a sparse but vital discography. Fusing Dub Techno, Ambient and Half Time Drum and Bass, the Theme style developed as a uniquely Berlin influenced take on 170 BPM’s post autonomic developing progression.
Following a 2 year gap since the last release, the Theme debut LP ‘Passages‘ builds on this style by accentuating and extending the ambient ‘passages‘ and experimenting with beat structures to create an intricately constructed and textured journey.
Recorded in 2015 underneath a highway bridge in Offenbach, Germany, due to stunning ROTOR concert series, the duo SOLLMANN & GÜRTLER performed an aural conversation between a ring modulated electric guitar and a variety of reed instruments, sent through a cluster of electronic filters and devices.
PHILLIP SOLLMANN, also known as EFDEMIN, currently worked on his MONOPHONIE project for VOLKSBÜHNE Berlin, RUHRTRIIIENNALE and KAMPNAGEL Hamburg including the HARRY PARTCH instruments. Further on he collaborated on a modular church organ system with KONRAD SPRENGER.
The multi instrumentalist JOHN GÜRTLER is part of the collective PARADOX PARADISE. He is mainly a film musician and composer, who won multiple awards for his scores.

Lost In Space is an exotic music excursion into the unknown – discovering the sectors of Outer Space and encountering unexpected occurrences which is to be the objective, narrative and attraction. Like the architecture and habitation structure of a jungle, life exist and persist everywhere, but only by the degree of our 5 basic human senses.
An extraordinary musical creation by the Electronic Music and artist Jeff Mills, he conceives Lost In Space with the future of mankind’s advances in Space travel and colonizing other planets in mind. It is a reach to grasp for subjects like the “other types of time”, “the crashing of Worlds” and “the illusions we create” in our minds and what we believe to reality. Fusing Classical and Electronic music is the only way to play out a scenario of such magnitude of possibilities.
Dutch producer and live act Conforce is back with Autonomous, a fifth artist album and the latest in his long relationship with Delsin Records.
Conforce is Boris Bunnik, a producer who explores the deepest realms of dub, house, techno and electro under many different names. His Conforce alias is where his most club orientated material comes from and this new nine track album finds the Transcendent label boss producing dark syntheses inspired by his hometown and harbour city, Rotterdam, and its automated industries.
This is a masterfully conceptual album that really paints a vivid picture of a harbour as heard from deep down in the depths.

Their new release is Unearth by Tony Buck. The composer delivers his most accomplished solo composition. Built across several years, the record is the culmination of his approaches to percussive intensive, pulse and explorations in compositional density. The architecture of this work is framed unsurprisingly around a core of percussion but also draws heavily on Buck’s less known interests in guitar, synthesiser and field recordings. These elements coalesce, haunting one another in an evasive manner that is inexorable, creating a slow moving dialogue of extreme dynamic interchange.
Saturne is the new project from ASC & Sam KDC. It came to life a few years back, as a non-specific genre approach to writing music. The first outing from the pair under this guise focuses on Grey Area compatible deep hypnotic techno cuts. ‘Trace Elements‘ shows the pairs intent to deliver intricate, atmospheric, genre-fusing tracks of a standard that has come to be expected for their output over the years.

Loss is the long-awaited and anticipated follow-up to Marcus Fischer’s acclaimed Monocoastal (12k1063, 2010). Fischer created Loss over several years, finding inspiration to complete it during his time at the Robert Rauschenberg Residency in Captiva, Florida, in early 2017. The album is a particularly emotional work as Fischer explored what loss means to him and how to cope with the permanence of absence. The result is decisively somber and perhaps one of the darkest, most emotional albums in the 12k catalog.
