What is minimal? It is about the sounds between the notes, the "space between" beats, and stripped-down arrangements. Here at Ektoplazm we mainly use "minimal" to designate techno releases with the aforementioned approach.

Mists Of Time is the long-awaited debut of Munstrous, a Berlin-based producer also operating under the names Radioactive.Cake, Zeitgeist, and Dark Passenger. With this release comes a blend of airy, sometimes fragile—although other times glitched out—dub techno and alternative beats infused with psychedelic qualities. If you are familiar with Glitchy.Tonic.Records you already know they will sometimes branch out and explore new sonic territory while remaining true to their core philosophy—which is precisely what is happening with this release. Artwork by Mheuf. Mastered at Anti-Logic, Berlin.

Bowlba Records presents Survival, a collection of dark and minimal techno tunes by Osiris (Vinicius Xavier), a Brazilian native now residing on the Gold Coast of Australia. Billed as an exploration of nocturnal urban visions of Vinicius’s life in cities like Sao Paulo, where inspiration flourishes from all the cracks in the concrete, this release demonstrates the depths of groove and swing that techno is capable of. With solid kicks and eerie synth lines Osiris brings a moody, sexy vibe to the dance floor, taking you on a journey while keeping your feet on the ground while your eyes shake with the powerful sub bass lines.
