Sven Vath’s Cocoon label has been one of the premiere record companies in electronic music, releasing some of the biggest songs in the scene. For the brand's latest compilation 'Cocoon Ibiza', Vath calls on one of the legendary pioneers of techno music, Carl Craig and Switzerland's Sonja Moonear.

Sonja Moonear continues the energy with disc 2 with a hard-stomping, yet atmospheric mix which includes songs by Elbee Bad, The Mingers, John Tejada and more.
Whilst the name Made In Paris would lead one to believe that this is a French producer shaking things up in techno, it is actually the moniker of Sydney-based Paris Forscutt. The emerging star has been dropping some amazing records including 'Your Body' and her 'Dancing In Dark' EP. Forscutt now makes a return with her forthcoming EP titled 'You're Wrong', out August 26th. Comprised of two tracks, the record is a dark and intense dealing of nocturnal techno lead by the charge of the title cut, uncompromising and deep. The b-side 'Mystic Path' follows suit, with a rumbling bass line, echoing synths and sparkling effects, making for arsenal on the dance floor. 'You’re Wrong' will get released via Forscutt's label Upon Access.
Canadian producer and DJ Kenny Glasgow was already a mainstay in the music scene of Toronto. Completely kicking in the international doors as a member of Art Department along with Jonny White, the pair went on to take the electronic world by storm. After dropping a number of solo recordings stemming back to 2008, Glasgow now unleashes his new LP 'Circus Tales'.
Last month the Audiolith label released their compilation 'Stiff Little Spinners Volume 7' which features tracks by Rampue, Trummerschlunk & Ivan Capriles, Krink and more. One of the gems featured on the LP is the Kalipo-produced tune 'Dyson'. Atmospheric and ethereal, the deep techno production vibrates with a husky bass line and space-spread keys. You can stream the song down at the bottom.
Having released records on Planet E, Leena Music, Intec and more, Mark Fanciulli has now stepped up in the driver's seat with the launching of his new label Between 2 Points. The first EP on the imprint comes via Fanciulli himself who has unleashed a new record entitled '2nd Wave'. Comprised of three original cuts, the EP is an experimental marriage of house and rumbling techno, all constructed with a steamy edge to rip up the dance floor. One of our personal faves is the song 'Sequences', which surely sets off the record in a proper manner. '2nd Wave' is currently out now.
