Bubblejam  welcomes back the insanely talented -  Obzeen , with his outstanding new album -  The Calling 9 original tracks, plus 3 remixes from  Mittens ,  HART , and  kLines The Calling  opens up with a slow but sinister vibe to warm you into the tone that is set throughout this stunning body of work. The pace immediately picks up with the first main track  Arwen , blasted along by a fierce kickdrum, and falling into haunting vocals on the first break section. The whole album has a dark vibe all the way through, with lots of epic vocals, and brooding synth lines and hooks. Intelligent almost tribal feeling percussion is littered across many sections of these absolutely wicked tracks. Obzeen 'Venezuelan born - Costarican Electronic Music DJ & Producer. Moved to Costa Rica at age 8, started his musical journey exploring different genres until he found electronic music. Well known for his intense, melodic, moody sets. Signed on Funk'N Deep Records, Fr

Electronic bestseller “ Electrochoc” by Laurent Garniera at 18 years of “Klubska scena” in Aquarius club in Zagreb, Croatia on 15th November 2019. A ten year old kid who improvised partying in his own room, collected over the years of experience, wrote it all in 2003 and published a book, the most famous electronic bestseller " Electrochoc ".  Laurent Garnier confirmed his status as the highest authority on the electronic scene with the publication of this book, whose writing was assisted by the French journalist David Brun-Lambert , and the success of the book is confirmed by numerous world-wide translations, including publications in the Kosovo region, as in Serbia, Croatia and BiH. We hope that there will be a Kosovo edition soon.  " Electrochoc " is an autobiography written as a novel in which the protagonist is Laurent himself, who witnessed and actively participated in these events.  It is not an egoistic autobiography but a coherent inte

The Senate has formally proposed a new law that will interfere with the survival of the scene in that country. The law provides that every organizer must adapt to the new "precautions" that require him to meet with the mayor at least one month before the event. They are also seeking a reduction in volume and noise parameters, new administrative deadlines and other difficult criteria to apply. This law is reminiscent of the UK law of the 90s which was then in force at illegal parties. Currently, the problem is to get all the permits and authorizations, but with the new law it will be almost impossible for one average young organizer to embark on such obligations. Penalties for breaching the law are £ 3750 and / or seizing equipment that is expensive. They believe that the law will contribute to the overall better lifestyle of the stat. Club owners, organizers and promoters complain that no one involves them in the discussions and issues that affect them, s

It gives us immense pleasure to present to you this highly anticipated techno offering by one of South America's fastest rising talents in Sebastian Mora.  This incredible 5 track E.P. entitled ' Argorok ' is nothing short of a masterpiece. 'Argorok' is a tough, straight up Techno thriller. Big, cutting kicks drive through to clean, solid lead patterns to create a no-nonsense and meaty original that has all the power and drive that you will have come to expect from a Sebastian Mora cut. 'Living Legend' is a monster! Incredible synth stabs drive this hypnotic and addictive cut through a solid and relentless journey. Supported by an absolutely mind-blowing remix by Vily Vinilo, 'Living Legend' lives up to its name! Enjoy!

FU-5 and Vince from Argentina and Portugal Opening things on side A we have ' Compress C3 ' and ' Compress C4 ' two analog monsters where the Argentinian artist shows his wildest side. Building a fluid narrative through strong kick drums , syncopated synth sequences and uneasy hi hats he shapes these powerful tools. 'Swig' and 'Fey' are the cuts that make up the B side of the release. Showing personality and a distinctive sound, the young Portuguese artist subtly merges the Techno style of the early 2000s with the current tendencies, resulting in two very useful and effective tracks for any situation of the night. Enjoy!

MOOR is a Buenos Aires label, created under the influence of its predecessor ROOM recs , where it will seek not to adapt to any particular sound or artist, editing music as much as what we commonly call dancefloor music. MOOR will seek not to limit itself in terms of bpm or tone and will motivate the artists on duty not to have limitations when it comes to sending us music, breaking that prototype of musical barriers, and getting carried away by the originality and spirit of each one. MOOR is the maximum freedom of expression and search for new sound boundaries.  Music to dream, textual and literal is the only and most successful way to give a full name to this magic album that contains 7 tracks with which the artists expressed themselves freely and let their imagination fly in high caliber music, without limitation in terms of any genre or music style. Being the first release of the label, we are very happy to listen to drum and bass and very musical artists on this

After their first foray into the vinyl world last year, with a beast of a release from Time Traveler, Holland's Obscuur return with another vinyl outing, this time from Ceili. With two very strong originals and wonderful remixes from harder favourites Hadone and Rommek. At once pristine and rough, there's an attention to detail which allows every sound to pop, both across the percussive opener and the arpeggio based second track. There's definitely a hint of rave warfare in here too, it's high octane stuff for an energetic crowd. On remix duties we have the ever heavyweight Hadone , who slams his foot on the gas, playing it flat out. London regular Rommek displays the breadth of his character as usual, with a fired up breakbeat style roller closing out the release. Enjoy!

W e are pleased to present this  underground event in Amsterda m ,  Vault Sessions V ,   where will be performing techno dj and producer from Kosovo,  Vegim , with his  dirty hypnotic techno.  He will be performing on the first night of this event , on 3 1st January 2020  among great and very  quality techno artists.  Hidden in the industrial  West of Amsterdam  lies a dark and legendary street, home to one of the most influential party locations of the Netherlands:  The Warehouse Elementenstraat.  Its industrial halls already wrote music history in the beginning of the 90’s, when some of the first bigger-scale house raves called ‘Multigroove’ set a milestone in the  Dutch underground scene.  Around 20 years later,  in 2012,  the location was re-discovered by GZG, a young collaboration of local  Techno artists.  Since then, the location has been opened several times and came alive again; in order to write the second chapter of  music history.  5th Anniversary   will lau

The International Music Summit in Ibiza annually publishes a study exploring the development of the electronic music industry globally. In addition to a number of interesting lectures, discussions, forums, workshops and parties, the research is being conducted by analyst Kevin Watson, a passionate lover of the electronic genre from London. He is also the author of a Dance-onomics study published in 2012 in the Netherlands. Electronic music is the third most listened genre in the world according to the International Music Conference in Ibiza.  64% listen to pop music, 57% rock, and 32% listen to electronic music. The survey was conducted on the basis of 19 thousand people, aged 16 to 64 years from 18 countries. Based on this survey about 1.5 billion people are listening to electronic music today. According to Beatport, the world's most famous digital electronic music store, techno has been a top-selling genre for 4 years now. The second in line is Tech-house, third

IMS Ibiza is the Global Electronic Music Industry Survey and the following informations are related to social networks and TV advertising. Charlotte de Witte had the biggest fan growth. This data shows that their fans grew much faster than the five DJs with the largest number of fans - Marshmello, David Guetta, Alan Walker, Calvin Harris, Skrillex. In 2018, Amelie Lens doubled the number of fans across all social networks compared to the year before. After appearing at 25, the anniversary of Time Warp had a fourfold increase in fans on a daily basis. Leading global brands are signing contracts with well-known female DJs who participate in publicity campaigns. Peggy Gou was so advertised by Porsche; Eli & Fur worked on the campaign for Kayak; Alison Wonderland has collaborated on a Super Bowl campaign for a new mobile app. [sourse]

Ricardo Rodrigues aka Industrialyzer delivers another hard-edged release for Pan-Pot's label. Inspired by 90s techno, it sees Rodrigues move from the Green Velvet-style deranged jack on the title track into the Plastikman-influenced "Kontrol", where snares roll in unison over a skeletal, niggling rhythm. On " Daily Nova ", he ups the pace to deliver a tone-shifting banger that's powered by doubled-up claps and a lean rhythm, while " Psychic Overlay s" is the toughest arrangement on offer here. Led by grubby kicks and hi-hats so sharp they'll pierce your skin, its cascading filters make it a relentless peak-time affair. Enjoy!

Few if any contemporary producers do heads-down techno better than Truncate, as his latest EP for Blueprint demonstrates. What really sets the LA producer apart is his ability to tease out new sounds and nuances while still maintaining maximum impact. For example, "The Bell" is a rolling, rhythm-heavy affair that resounds to ticking percussion and pounding drums, but also drops into atmospheric reveries. Enjoy! Similarly, on "Initials", Truncate visits Miill-style minimalism, but adds his own touch with some deft, detuned sounds, while "Timbre" sees him deliver a rolling percussive affair that builds and drops subtly thanks to some wild tonal progressions

Berlin wunderkind power trio Fjaak are back with the fifth installment on their eponymous imprint - strap yourself in for a wild ride on this one! Features the furious and pummelling warehouse techn o assault of " Phonox " reminiscent of '90s legends Devilfish, followed by the soulful hard jack of the 50 Weapons indebted "Midnight Take Out" (they are alumni of the label after all) and the industrial/dub techno experimental piece "They Can't Smell Us" - but unless they are hiding under a bar of soap we certainly can - this one's dirty! Enjoy!
