Six re-works of, “Lost in Freezing Fog” a stand-out track from the label’s Retroactive (Vol. 1) compilation. Producers have a few days left to contribute music to Volume 2, due out later this year.
northernshore – halls of echoing repose

Matthias Rock’s last contribution to our program (a tribute to Sven Weisemann) received a ton of support, including that of UK radio host/DJ Chris Coco. This week, NorthernShore is back with a tribute to another one of our long time favorites: Martin Schulte.
In Rock’s most intricate mix to date, he weaves through over 20 selections of Schulte’s trademark deep atmospheric techno, leaving you feeling as if Marat could have been behind the mix the entire time. A timeless piece fans are sure to treasure.
eric delay – four moments
It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Eric Delay. Selections from his 2006 Fragment release, “Kindheitstraum” have been playing over the stream for years. They remain just as relevant to our project today as they did back then.
Eric is from a small Russian river city known as Ulyanovsk. It used to be difficult to find any information about him. In fact, a recent article on Far From Moscow is one of the first publicized features to date. FUSELab has actually been hinting on Eric’s return for months. It’s only fitting for them to introduce a new year with his latest work. No complaints here, as all good things are worth the wait.
“Four Moments” is about as modest as they come. Advances in Delay’s post production techniques are immediately evident as sounds are much brighter this time around. Faints cries of childhood laughter tip toe behind sparkling pads and gaiety rhythms. It’s a quick listen, but Eric provides just enough here to warrant a warm welcome back.
nils frahm – for
Discovered this track while browsing umanuvem, thought I’d pass it along. Nils Frahm is a classically trained pianist turned electronic music producer now residing in Berlin. As the founder of Durton Studio, he works with like-minds including Simon Scott, Deaf Center, Anne Müller and Peter Broderick. Nils has been touring heavily all over the world since 2010 and will share the stage this year with Canadian Tim Hecker.
This track, taken from his latest EP on Erased Tapes has all the elements of a timeless electronic anthem. You can grab the EP here. It’s also available as a limited 7″ vinyl.
nikosf. – seasons & circles
Nikosf. celebrates his first vinyl record with a limited press on Deeper Meaning. Everything here you’d come to expect from a Nikos release. Crystal clear, contemplative grooves, just enough punch to keep you upright. Fitting for an analog environment, but for those not lucky enough to grab one of the only 200 available, a digital release is right around the corner.
antendex returns with new ep
After nearly three years, Tamas Olejnik returns to his ambient moniker Antendex with four lush electronic compositions for our latest release. Relative to his, “Photons” compilation on Force Intel (Mille Plateaux), things feel a little more organic this time around. Low-fi constructions compliment the overlay of piano, twisting oldschool filters and broken-beat rhythms. This short EP has an unexpectedly compelling replay value and we’re very happy to present it.
alessandro crimi – a night in the forest
Austria’s Alessandro Crimi and netlabel basic sounds have delivered an exceptional creative commons release. Deeply satisfying kicks and warm pads provide all the backbone you need for a quality dub techno composition.
