On Figure X45comes a new up and coming artist, Jancen. With only a handful releases under his belt, this promising young dutchman delivers immaculate productions that veer between the deep and the jacking, always powerful and driving but with a strong sense of groove pervading throughout. His opener "Quintessence" leans on the hypnotic side, distilling the effect of a mesmerizingly simple loop reduced to the beauty of its essential elements. Racking up the momentum is tightly bouncing "Elusive," riding a funky acid riff that transforms the track into one of those unexpected moments of raising the energy mid-set. On the B-side, Jancen showcases his talent of building mind-expanding dub-techno excursions, as the echoes of "Diminished Dub" roll out while even packing some proper propulsive percussion on top! Final track "Unattributed" takes listeners way down the rabbit hole into atmospheric trippy territory as searing hats pave the path ever further into the belly of the beast.

Fresh off the heels of his first release on Figure, French producer Arkan deepens his explorations of a unique sound with Part 2 of his Lightworker EP. His signature blend of mental techno is expanded upon, with opener "Broken Clock" swaying and rumbling mysteriously like a hypnotic pendulum over an abrasive groove. "Pulsing" picks up traction and pushes the momentum forward while still allowing jagged textures and cavernous effects to paint a largely looming soundscape. The flipside gets treated to more colors, with the linear "Plaintive" works its magic through a set of dense and emotive synths, slowly creating an uplifting yet condensed energy. "Dark Clouds" equally builds a strong atmosphere, using ricocheting sparks of panning synths and lighting to conjure the ominous feeling of a rising thunderstorm. If you haven't checked it yet, make sure to go back for Lightworker Part 1 and hear more of this promising new talent's sounds.

The latest addition to the Figure roster comes in form of French producer Arkan. A musician from young age, he combines minimalist, deep-cut grooves with understated harmonies. His first release on the label arrives as part one of his Lightworker double EP, giving the artist ample room to showcase his own vision of contemporary, "mental techno" as he dubs it himself. Fitting this description, opener "Delirium" is a deeply hypnotic tune, mastering the subtle art of sustain and release to effortlessly cycle its own energy. "Vicious Night" then tips towards a more percussively lead momentum yet stays true to the less-is-more approach of Arkan. On the flip he gets to further build on his musical ideas, whether it be the melodic fragments echoing pensively in and out of the 4/4 grid over the galloping beat of "Voltaris" or eventually the saccharine, IDM-reminiscent ambient closer "What Is Born Cannot Die."

This third and final installment of the Fusion remix series sees Len Faki personally select from his most beloved producers to expand on his ambitious album project Fusion that was released as a double LP in 2023. First up is Herbert's trippy rework of "Don't Be Stupid Day," one of the album's most memorable vocal cuts. Herbert's "Brain Dub" transforms the track slowly and playfully, using the witty lyrics for crafting catchy hooks. Irish powerhouse Cromby has two appearances on this EP, getting to revamp the more house-leaning productions from Fusion. His take on "It's Time (to Move Your Body)" is grooving grand, its bubbling acid riff and dancing hi hats teeming with life. Meanwhile, the "Blackjack" remix further energizes the original's shiny centerstage synths, crazily riding the pitch up and down for an all-out party. Finally, the brotherly duo Glaskin are reshaping the ambient album highlight "Gamma" into a highly effective, reduced but propulsive, tunneling techno affair.

Adding his first EP to the label's catalogue, Figure warmly welcomes Vinicius Honorio onto the roster. Having first made his mark in the DnB-world as BTK, the vetted Brazilian producer now has been conquering the global techno scene for some years as well. His darkly foreboding sound is on full display across this 12", featuring three clean-cut, impactful original productions and a remix by Len Faki's Hardspace moniker. Endless Love comes punching strong, carried by colleague Theo Nasa's ominous spoken words and evolving stab synths textures. The remix strips back the vocals in favor of reduced frequencies, keeping the heat condensed and always ready to boil over. On the flip, Honorio introduces his rolling high-energy machine funk, stacking elements around a hypnotic vocal loop and expertly playing the game of build and release. Closer B2 showcases a different style, using subdued dubby chords to craft a dreamy ride that is at once powerful and deep.

With an album as versatile and expansive as his LP Fusion, Len Faki wanted a collection of remixes to display a similar kind of musical variety. Hand-picked from his favorite producers, the cast now features a diverse group of artists who have re-imagined of Fusion's tracks. FigureX39 kicks off the trilogy, with Arthur Robert at the helm, fittingly remaking the album's pensive closer into a melodic peak time stomper. Ø [Phase] ramps up the intensity on straight-laced "Temple," keeping the BPM in line with modern techno's need for speed. On the flip, rRoxymore inverts "Tor 8" into a psychedelic funnel of haunted voices and pummeling percussion, while dubby synth swirls and ferocious filter action give Pangea's rework of "Space Cowboys I" a distinctly UK-feel. Coming in as hard hitting as ever, PAS layers high-octane rave stabs and nonstop propulsive drums on his version of "Yantra" and one of the album's few original house tracks, "It's Time," gets the Truncate treatment, making for lean, clap-heavy groover with enough low-end to move some bodies. Often known for his cinematic compositions, Djrum delivers a complex masterpiece of heady drum science and intricate patterns condensed into one dazzling mosaic of sound. Closing this first EP out in style is Munich-based newcomer Polygonia, presenting her shimmering and always shifting remix of "Friedrichshain Funk," effortlessly moving between driving rhythms and mystical melodies.

After putting out a slew of self-released cuts as LKY, Figure finally gets a hold of the rising techno talent that is Nathan Lockwood. Hailing from the UK, this young talent carries an extensive understanding of Britain's techno lineage, with over a decade of experience in the game both as promoter and DJ. Now fully coming into his own as a producer, LKY's tracks are informed by the loopy nature of his progenitors, while still retaining some of the core dub influences and yet always keeping a propulsive momentum going. On his EP for Figure, title track "Symmetry Zone" opens with full force, seamlessly intertwining twisting rhythms and searing percussion into a powerful maelstrom of energy. The A2 "Chaser" is a more reduced take on the formula, rolling out a muscular groove with only a handful of elements, such as precise low-end and some curious synths doing all the work. On the flip, LKY shows a deeper side to his work, focusing on the hypnotic element that he has become known for. "Tracking" strikes a wonderful balance between the dubby synth stabs and driving claps, while "Formed" has an almost deep house-feel to it, imbued with gorgeous warm ambiance and teasing vocal snips.

When writing his album Fusion, Len Faki never quite knew where the creative process would take him. Eventually, it transported his sound into an all-new realm, where he could show 360 degrees his talents and styles. Finally, finding completion as a mighty double LP, the Figure x37 EP takes four of the album's new cuts to be presented in this special format ahead of the official release of Fusion. An important corner stone of the album, the "Halide" tracks were made in remembrance of Faki's late mother, who passed away during the last production stage of the LP. These delicate tracks, which both feature the voice of Halide, capture the intense sadness Faki was feeling at the time and helped him to process his grief and eventually finish off the album. "Part 1" is a softly mourning, melancholic breakbeat ballad, musically reminiscent of the chillout rooms Faki found himself spending a lot of time at going out to clubs throughout the '90s. The much darker second part, echoing the hopeless bleeps of a heart rate monitor, will only be released on the full album. Next to this very personal track are more examples of Faki's versatility as an artist, who has seen it all and now uses the album format to work without any constraints or expectations. A gentle yet gritty electro homage, "Make Me Scream" is a take on the classic breakbeat from days long gone, with hollow drums and a mysteriously sweet vocal lurking underneath the track's soothing pads and lively synth riffs. On "Tor 8", Faki combines his driving techno and strong melodic elements, subdued chords rising to create an atmosphere of euphoria, while a classic bleep keeps things on track. "Astra" (taken from Fusion's more strait-laced disc one) is the most punchy outing of the record, but it still comes with a myriad of detailed sounds to explore amongst its tight-knit rhythmic corset. Twinkly synths slowly rise to make the track bloom into its full, exuberantly colorful form.

Len Faki has always been a defining character of the techno underground. His unique approach to DJing, the consistent work as a producer and the quality output of his label Figure has all shaped the current environment. Finally faced with the opportunity of a long overdue creative break from touring, Faki decided tackle the life-time venture of releasing an album with the necessary dedication and focus. Naturally the result emerged as two parallel experiences. Both still carry all the signature features of Faki's style but with added layers of depth and detail. There's that special contrast of dark and heady grooves, paired with dreamy melodies that transport the listener to places beyond the mind. But we also see all strains of his previous work being incorporated, mixed and molded into something new altogether. While the first disc focuses on the kind of techno, which Faki has been brought up by and given back to for so many years of his life, the second is looser and more experimental, with forays into house, ambient and broken beats -- the sounds he has always kept very passionate about. It creates two distinct experiences, showcasing the entire breadth of Faki's cosmos. Many songs even exist as pairings, with their respective counterpart on another disc. Faki has given us a complete artistic statement, one that proves him to be as curious and driven now as ever, taking his sound to all-new realms.

Indigo is Icelandic artist's Exos fourth studio album, arriving almost two full decades after his last LP. In the meantime, the seasoned producer has never stopped to refine his production style, mastering an aesthetic that feels at once minimalist and yet richly detailed. Spanning the organic and the electronic, drawing from early dub techno blueprints and comprising the beauty of his austere homeland. From this, Exos expands an absorbing atmosphere, sustaining the primal power of nature within compositions that hold an exalted presence yet never go overboard, instead, they gently push along even in their most intense moments thus vastly transcending the pure club context. The album's thirteen tracks are a sonic bliss to indulge in, each element is crafted so meticulously and balanced with care against its counterparts. Whether the luminous, spaciously glowing opening tracks "Reincarnation" or "I' skjo'li nætur" the then-ensuing hypnotic techno-trips of "Sælu-reitur" and "Quod Arcanum Leticia" and finally the deeply satisfying, dubbed-out backbone of the album's main body -- a series of Exos's signature-style dub-techno cuts that he has been perfecting now for over 20 years. Seeing it all mesh together in this concentrated form, it's the picture of an exceptionally experienced producer pushing himself beyond any limits to achieve his greatest feat yet. When the fog clears and the last tracks slowly roll out, the record leaves as smoothly as it had entered, allowing for reflection and contemplation of one of techno's most exhaustive LP efforts yet to date.

Dropping as the second standalone EP ahead of Len Faki's highly anticipated debut album Fusion (due late 2023), this release provides a new outlook on the producer's sounds, going far beyond the confines of techno that he previously has been known and lauded for. Opening the record in bold yet sensible style, "Gamma" subtly transcends the dancefloor functionality by anchoring its driving momentum in a wistful and enigmatic melody; a regular of Berghain, Faki also occasionally plays the upstairs room -- where the bumping house of his own "It's Time (To Move Your Body)" could well go down as the highlight of a long night, whizzing with of colorful synths and anthemic vocals. "Yantra" then is a reminder of the powerful, loopy and trippy techno, which Faki (amongst all the newfound sonic explorations) has still not lost his appetite and knack for. A genuine counterpart, "Shri Yantra" then picks up elements of its predecessor, reframed in an enveloping breakbeat journey through time and space. Going past the constraints of his previous work, Faki's signature style is still very much audible on this EP, while also showing how there are still endless possibilities to develop.

Announcing the release of Len Faki's extended debut album, Figure x34 is the first in a series of special EPs that give a glimpse into the body of work which the label head has put together as Fusion over the course of the last two years. Using the double album format, Faki finally found himself free to explore the whole breadth of electronic club culture, inspired by decades' worth of his own experiences as a DJ and clubgoer. "Don't Be Stupid Day", centered around the namesake vocal, is a slow-burning, deep techno roller, while "Hymn (In The Name Of Fantasy)" contrasts a dreamy, wisp-like melody with heavy punches of broken up bass. Both cleverly represent the wide variety of sounds found on the more ambient and house-leaning disc two of the album. Disc one is a contemporary take on the techno that has defined Faki's life and career since the '90s. "Hymn (In The Name Of Freedom)" borrows on the trancey lead synths and booming bass from those early days, making for an unusually euphoric and uplifting Faki track. Finally, "Temple" aligns with his reputation as a DJ, steadily layering mechanic percussion for an ever-increasing sense of rhythmic urgency.

London based Biri has long been a part of the extended Figure family, first releasing on Figure Jams in 2019, appearing again on the electronica compilation series Open Space. With Point Zero you finally get his first full solo EP, and it's a proper statement of his artistic breadth as an accomplished techno producer. Proving his club-readiness, opener "Point Zero" comes with all the right assets: functional, fast, and equipped a propulsive bass charge that ramps the velocity alongside grooving slabs of synth for a searing finale. A beautifully intertwined web of chopped up amens and cascading arps is "Upward Spiral", showcasing Biri's gathered influences from living in both London and Berlin. On the flip there's "Clarity", an atmospheric roller of booming bassline, brooding trance stabs and no-nonsense rhythmics. Towards the end Biri takes things deeper, blending bleeping melodies on "Rotation Of Consciousness" to slowly build up an icy intensity, which surges until it pervades all of space around the stomping beat.

Kristian is a new anonymous project on Figure Music, exploring a different kind of sound that is based on subtly nuanced live jams and oriented towards a slightly rawer house and dubby-related style. Opener "Doubtful" makes a strong first impression as Kristian weaves together lush, cheerful chords with a tight yet rolling bass momentum, carrying the track forward effortlessly. In stark contrast, "Dry Dub" is groove reduced to its bare essence. A straight-up drum track made of sparse elements that confidently unfold their subliminal power over time. The flip holds cuts that really want to spring to life. Swirly, dubbed-out sounds create a colorful and dynamic palette, rapidly changing in movement and direction. "Insider" riffs on heavily animated, filtered synth action, while closing track "Worthiness" goes deep and spacey, oozing with warm machine charm, squelching acid, and bubbly bass.

One year after its original release, the Placid Angles album Touch The Earth (FIGURE 007LP, 2021) is being remixed by an impressive array of artists from the extended Figure family. With John Beltran being a distinct voice within the electronic music scene for over thirty years now, Figure is thrilled to reveal a whole album worth of reinterpretations, including a new work by the original artist himself. Opening up is Marcel Dettmann, who seamlessly has integrated the lush soundscapes of the original album into a beat-driven but equally serene journey. Picking up on the LP's underlying dark garage tropes, Planet Mu headmaster μ-Ziq infuses his rework with even more rolling drums and ethereal vocal chops. The also inherent IDM roots of Touch The Earth have been kept close by Warp-veterans Plaid who deliver a shuffling flurry full of horns, synths, and syncopated rhythms. More straightforward interpretations include Dauwd's dazzling piece of feathery, fast, atmospheric techno; a gorgeous melodic house remix by Baltra and Cassy who turns in a rigid UK stomper. Amidst all the reworks, John Beltran himself makes two appearances across the record. As Placid Angles he adds another heads-down percussive/ambient swirl, which represents exactly what the producer has been hailed for since more than three decades now. His own remix finishes the record on an epic note, with an organic drum track that celebrates life and the necessity for communal gathering in order to dance. Beltran's own additions to this LP are like the essential glue that makes it all bind together, forging the old and the new into something equally exciting as already intimately familiar.

A year from his latest release on Figure, Arthur Robert clocks back in with two full EPs. The first one is a jam-packed five-tracker, sporting full-on peak time thrill rides such as electrifying elated opener "Mastermind" or its more brawny brother, the bellowing beast that is stab-driven roller Relentless. But Metamorphosis Part 1 features also Robert's more introspective side, be it the glowing experimental excursion of "What We Do With Our Time" or the dreamy half-time stepper "Cosmic Traveler". Fans of his more hypnotic techno productions will find joy in the modular magic of "Rising".

On this EP, Robert explores his mastery of mesmerizing machines, looping bleepy signals into trance-inducing patterns on "Abundance", "Watchful", and "Homecoming". A welcome brief respite from the madness, delicate ambient interlude "You Cannot Hurt Me" twinkles soothingly, as does the warmth offered by subdued hazy chords on the almost house-y "Tunnel Vision". Such versatility not only further establishes Arthur Robert as one of current techno's most promising producers but also makes this EP package a strong contender for one of 2022's defining releases.

When the first Placid Angels album dropped in 1997, Jon Beltran was already an established force within dance music's then-emerging scene. He had a knack for both the melodic side as well as intricately designed rhythmic programming. A signature style that went for his early records in the 1990s as much as it does for this new installment of the Placid Angles series. The blissful synths, Aphex Twin-era IDM and loose percussive patterns take you right back to where it all began when genres didn't mean anything and Beltran was just starting out to experiment with any sound that would elevate your consciousness. The Michigan-born artist since has spanned a career of nearly four decades, remaining relevant all the while, by playing the music he found himself most drawn to express. By working with artists like Detroit veteran Carl Craig, labels such as R&S or more recently his LPs for Delsin or his joint work with Four Tet. Whether it be his more techno-leaning or new wave-inspired works, his takes on ambient, or the more Latin-influenced productions -- he has always stayed active and re-invented himself while painting his records with a clearly own palette that is full of beautiful melodies and a timeless sound-design. The album Touch The Earth itself comes as diverse as the artist's own legacy, ranging from skittish, colorful UKG to proper pulsing sub-basslines as it progresses deeper into intelligent drum programming and further into the melodic ventures of what's at the core of Beltran's work. Drawing to a close, ambient tones overweigh, as Beltran oozes the last drops of emotion from this LP, leaving the angels to look down placidly. Full cover print.

Limited restock. Transition Part 2 continues Arthur Robert's reduced style, opening with a sleek tunnel-vision thumper, but then deviates for a playful breakbeat space exploration in collaboration with like-minded modular nerd Naty Seres. Eventually closing out the B-side of his strong eight-track package, Robert first boils the energy down to essential deep minimalist trip first, then ramps up the levels one last time for an exquisite example in rumbling dub-techno. Both parts of the Transition EPs firmly establish Arthur Robert further as an expert craftsman, merging the sonic textures of psychedelic jams with the forceful rhythms and intricate melodies of purist techno.

In a year of global shift and continuous changes, Figure takes a leap of faith and extends its catalog by introducing a completely new compilation series to the label. The Open Space series will feature forward-thinking electronica and ambient from a well-curated list of seasoned producers. Compositions that invite to let the mind wander, weaving stories, and conjuring up emotions. While these softer genres have already played a respected role in former Figure releases, for the first time in the label's history they are now being given the center stage. Volume 1 sets the mark by providing producers whom the label have come to love for their dancefloor-centric output with an open space to showcase another side of their skillset. Open Space remains open to various strains of electronica and ambient, ranging from the introspective synth-monologues (Sebastian Muellaert, kirilik), drone-y dub-experimentalism (Moritz von Oswald), alive and breathing takes on the genre (JakoJako), to singular compositions which slowly build their own lasting narrative and thus develop a genuine, emotive quality (John Beltran, Tin Man). Len Faki himself proves the artistic breadth of Open Space, sharing a powerful and conscious message through a rare and delicate moment of him exploring the form of spoken words. Other contributions include Jesper Dahlbäck as The Persuader, Luke Slater as 7th Plain, or Ralf Hildenbeutel -- a former production partner of Sven Väth and now a successful composer of film soundtracks. Unfairly reduced to background music, it is not the kind of ambient featured on the Open Space series. It is an engaging body of music, bonded by its contemplative, enveloping nature. Open Space bands together an array of fascinatingly skilled producers, finally given the opportunity to present some of their most creative and emotional material yet to date. Also features Kangding Ray and Antigone. 180 gram vinyl; full cover print.

"Alpha Centauri" institutes the record atmospherically, setting up the scenery of ethereal winds, prowling basses, and muscular drums. Picking up the pace, "Circle Machine" is a busy tune, rigidly rattling towards an array of tripped-out synths, yet captivating with their off-key harmonics. Heavier but equally distinctive, "Damage" opens the B-side with his skillful blend of assaulting, rough-edged machine sounds, and soothing, celestial ambiance. He then twists around again, cleverly seeing his listeners out with a surprisingly lively arrangement of sneaky synth squelches, making for a well-rounded as accomplished EP-package.

Each track inhabits a singular drive or momentum, outgrowing the confines of pure techno tools. Take opener "He Comes For You", a muscular example of a dynamic and spacious building block, keeping the energy leveled and ready to move wherever it may be needed. Coming in a close second, "Taal" nods towards house-y structures, clocking in a fast and playful attitude within a strict techno's framework. "Sofra" is harnessing the anthemic power of trance-style synths while not overplaying the old school card in favor of letting Poncet's slick sound design do its work. Finally, dubbed-out beauty "Focal" ushers this record out smoothly, its echoing chords glistening effortlessly atop a powerful low-end bassline.
