Overview of all our techno releases in Q4 2019

During the past period, a couple of tracks have been released on our techo record label, ranging from dark techno to lighter uplifting deep house tracks.

Cluster

The first track we offer is Cluster by Kommando Schwarztee, released on October 28^th2019.

Cluster is a dark techno track, combined with a couple of synths that gives the song some melody. The track perfectly suits techno DJ’s that play dark techno in underground music clubs. The style Kommando Schwarztee used in his track is heard throughout the modern-day German techno scene.

Analogue

Just like Cluster, Analogue is a techno track. While you can hear the typical German techno sound style in Cluster, in Analogue this is less the case. The first track of this 2-track release is produced by Isolated System. He opted for a more minimalistic side of techno, instead of deep house that we are used to. The name of the track ‘Analogue’ refers to the sounds that Isolated System used. In this track you can hear deep minimal beats, combined with Analogue sounds.

The second track is a remix of this track, made by Tensive Line. For his remix he used the same analogue sound, but added more melody to the track, to make it suitable for the melodic techno charts.

Trust Me

A new artist we have welcomed on our label is Crack Jones, DJ/producer from Canada. He is already producing for no less than 10 years. On BMR he lately released the track Trust Me.

Trust me is a classic Chicago-style deep house music with a modern twist, including hints of tech-house and nu-disco sprinkled in. Funky filtered organs, retro analog synths, groovy acid basslines, sizzling layered hi-hat rhythms on top and a classic heart pounding kick drum to tie it all together.

At the end of the day, ‘Trust Me’ is a song about how trust is a game of give and take. But sometimes we want to have it both ways. We want to betray others, but we don’t want to be betrayed. That’s what ‘Trust Me’ is about.

This track came together in the space of about a week. It all started with the bassline. Once Crack Jones had that worked out, he experimented with different chord progressions and really liked the sound of Minor 7 chords, which feature heavily in Deep House. The end result had a kind of sultry and mischievous sound to it. If you are curious to hear the result, then listen to the track on Spotify!

Silent Dreams

Silent Dreams is the second release of Dobchinsky on Black Mirror Recordings. The idea behind the track was to combine a simple catchy melody with a chill autumn mood. In the track you will hear several instruments like a bass guitar, synthesizers, violins, saxophone and drums. The end result is an atmospheric melodic chill track, with a near-funk soulful rhythm.

Overview of released EPs ranging from deep house to techno

In the last quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, no less than three EP’s have been released on techno record label Black Mirror Recordings! This makes us feel honored and very proud at the same time. We would love to make you aware of these awesome new EP’s, so please continue to read to learn a lot more about each one of them.

I Play Extend (EP)

This EP is produced by Enif from Germany. The same producer already released a track on Black Mirror Recordings last year, with his other pseudo Kommando Schwarztee. Where Kommando Schwarztee aims for dark techno, Enif is focusing more on deep house. With this EP he reached this goal very successfully.

In the opening track ‘Acheloiades’ Enif implemented a couple of different melodies. These melodies give the track quite a dreamy sound, and together with a punchy bass scene is set for a compelling deep house record. This track can also be found on the best new hype deep house: january, and hit the Beatport deep house charts in spot #42. Kommando Schwarztee also put this track in his top 10 charts.

The second track ‘LilHurr’ is a bit of a lighter track, with an interesting moving bassline that gets the attention right from the start. Melodies are spiced up with some more percussions and lighter sounds.

Enif finished his EP with the track ‘Haushexe’. Haushexe has a bit of a funky vibe to it, and combined with a bit of an off-sound, this makes for an interesting and raw deep house record with a strong personal character.

Vibrations (EP)

On November 15th 2019 Susfractor release his first EP Vibrations. Susfractor lives in Colombia, and was inspired mainly by the landscapes and natural rhythms of his home country to produce this record.

The first track of is EP is called Vibrations, a great track to add to your favorite melodic techno selection. Vibrations can also be found on Melodic Techno Essentials Volume 9, a compilation album of great new techno tracks selected by Label Worx. This compilation album is a must have to the melodic techno lover. If you are curious and want to hear the track right now, then go ahead and find it on Spotify, Apple Music or Youtube.

Hybrid path is the second track on the Vibrations EP. In this track Susfractor used a lot of reverb, delay and echo, to create a wide and dynamic sound. All in all, a really nice track to play in the club or at home when throwing a party.

Susfractor closes down his EP with Fly Energy, a track which is a lot calmer compared to Vibrations and Hybrid Path. Especially in this track you can really hear the way Susfractor was inspired by the natural rhythms of Colombia. This is one for the dreamers, so sit down in your comfy seat, close your eyes and enjoy some relaxed music at the end of your long day at work.

Weapons Of Mass Hypnosis (EP)

Finally, we conclude this EP release summary with Weapons of Mass Hypnosis, also recently release on our label by our new family member Alien Pimp. This EP is characterized by dark sounds, combined with dub house beats. Especially in the first track ‘Rekanize’ this combination is really coming into fruition.

The tracks are simply music that Alien Pimp loves to hear. The sounds in the tracks came into being during a couple of producing sessions for other projects. He starts out by creating a groove that is hypnotic and captivating. It’s a therapeutic and energetic cleansing process. Then the tracks came together naturally in an EP.

The name of EP the ‘Weapons of Mass Hypnosis’ is intriguing in itself. The name is related to what’s happening in the world nowadays, where we are bombarded by all kinds of information 24/7. This has an influence on us humans, and basically hypnotizes us in many ways during our day-to-day lives.

Isolated System releases third deep house record on Black Mirror Recordings

Slow down is the 2nd track Isolated System has released on Dutch techno record label Black Mirror Recordings. It’s been a while since we’ve heard from him, but here he is a with a great new track! The first track that he released in July, Morro Branco, is characterized by deep basslines and ambient sounds. This time again, he aimed for something calm and relaxed.

Slow Down is a track that came into existence due to the birth of Isolated System’s daughter. Sometimes it’s necessary to relax and take a step back, after a very hectic stressful period. Because of the down tempo, Slow Down can help you get into a relaxed vibe. In the track you will hear a couple of melodic synths, in combination with some guitar sounds. This gives the track a strong emotional edge.
