Introversion 'Unmarried Old Man' / Dystopia / 31 May
The first techno smasher this month comes from Berlin producer, Introversion. If a dystopia is a society that is undesirable or frightening, you might imagine that an unmarried old man would be one of the individuals that dwells there – that is if we are to buy into the idea that marriage and youth is more favourable. Regardless of what you believe, this is dark and hard, with haunting, echoing vocals communicating one thing: DANCE.
DJ Soch 'Love For Yourself' / Black Angus Records / 15 May
It's not the first time we've looked to the Italian producer for some blistering house, and if he continues to fire tracks like this our way, it certainly won't be the last. Said to pay a little homage to the mid ´90s, dark basements, muscle boys and party kids, kings and queens, and pimps and hoes, we're totally digging DJ Soch's personal vision. Ploughing hours into raking through old records to find the right sample, and in this case falling on “Love For Yourself” pumps nothing but good feelings of self-love into your bloodstream.
Rødhåd 'Kinder der Ringwelt' (Donato Dozzy Remix) / Dystopian / 22 May

The Italian producer - who is also behind the project Voices From The Lake and the Spazio Disponibile label – weighs in on the bruising original cut with a heavier hand and brings us intense heads down techno.
Brassica 'Splash' / Vivod / 15 May
Brassica prowess continues shines through following his release on Feel My Bicep late last year, with Vivod being the latest label to sign him up. Burried within his Blue Function EP are four tracks that take in house, techno, EBM and more. Splash advances with beatific, yet melancholic transitions. For those in touch with the UK producer's material, it's likely that you'll consider this to have that unmistakeable Brassica touch.
Kölsch 'Goodbye' / Kompakt / 26 May
We'll be seeing the Danish sound architect aplenty this summer in Ibiza with residencies for regular appearances at ANTS and for Hi residency In The Dark. So, crack on in and get yourselves acquainted with his newest offering on Speicher – also known as Kompakt Extra. It follows the standout success of his record Grey, which catapulted Kölsch into daytime UK radio. Goodbye creates a charmingly melancholic mood, while organ-like synth textures enhance the mood of the track. Many of us don't like goodbyes, but this is one you'll be buzzing to experience.
Chloé 'The Dawn' (Dixon Remix) / Lumière Noire Records / 19 May
He gave us an insight into his ingenuity with the final keynote talk at IMS Ibiza, and then delivered an incredible B2B set with Masters At Work at IMS Dalt Vila. With both still replaying in our minds and three much-anticipated Ibiza dates in the calendar, we bring you a track that is sure to get a good rinsing in the coming months. His rework packs bite, as he exchanges delicate tones for booming bass hits, and synths that push and drive the track forward with the kind of concentrated intensity he is extoled for.
