PREMIERE: ELEKTROTECHNIK – Stress

Klubikon — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 09:55:47 +0000

The French label A-TRACTION Records, founded by Marc Ayats, welcomes back German artist ELEKTROTECHNIK with ‘Radius’ EP, a powerful four-track release blending industrial, dark and melodic electro.

With ‘Radius’ EP, ELEKTROTECHNIK reconnects with the raw and futuristic aesthetic that helped define his sound on the label. Consisting of four tracks, ‘Radius’, ‘Menschen’, ‘Stress’, and ‘Trip’, the EP dives into a mechanical and hypnotic sonic landscape where analog sequences, deep basslines and sharp rhythms create a constant tension between melody and machine-driven energy.

The influences are unmistakable: the aquatic and cybernetic legacy of Drexciya, the futuristic electro precision of Anthony Rother, and the pioneering vision of Kraftwerk. Yet ELEKTROTECHNIK shapes these inspirations into his own identity — a modern, dark and immersive form of electro, equally suited for club systems and deep listening.

With Radius EP, A-TRACTION Records once again reaffirms its commitment to authentic, forward-thinking electro, where machines, atmosphere and emotion collide.

We are presenting ‘Stress’.

‘Radius’ EP will be available after April 3rd HERE.

Klubikon — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 07:31:30 +0000

Jørgen Thorvald is back in the French stable A-TRACTION Records with ‘Euclidean Distance’ EP after two EPs on the sublabel Walking Records.

Italian DJ and producer Jørgen Thorvald has been working for over 30 years in the shadow of the greats for various projects on stage or in the studio. In only three EPs he managed to define his style; a dark, hypnotic techno at the border of electro which reminds us of producers like Rebotini, Terence Fixmer or Hacker.

For this project, ‘Euclidean Distance’ EP, Jørgen Thorvald surrounded himself with three producers from the four corners of the planet. The Berlin-based Romance Disaster for a pure electro track ‘Humanoid’, the Colombian Delectro for a dark and hypnotic track ‘Second Life’, and with the label boss Marc Ayats for EBM techno track with a devastating break, ‘Garde Ta Distance’.

We are presenting the closing track, a ravy techno remix of the track ‘Garde Ta Distance’ from Mila Dietrich, a French DJ and emo techno producer who has played in many bands as a drummer and draws her inspiration from punk rock, emo, trap and trance vibes.

PREMIERE: BRENNT – Christine

Klubikon — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 12:27:32 +0000

Walking Records, a subdivision of the French A-TRACTION Records, welcomes the Belgian DJ and producer BRENNT with a tribute EP to Christine Sleurs.

BRENNT is the latest project by Brent Vanneste, who is best known for his atmospheric grunge-core sounds in the post-metal band STAKE (former Steak Number Eight), which he co-founded at an early age. Apart from heavy guitars his roots are equally soaked in electronic music as he, early on, started creating experimental psytrance with his siblings in PSYGASUS, using Windows XP, some djembe and a guitar. Later he also provided the hard BPM’s in the electro-clash band Raveyards.

BRENNT varies from avant garde and ambient techno to hard-core flavoured big room techno – and so much more in between – always consistent in caring for the emotional layers throughout all these different BPM’s.

Tribute EP to Christine Sleurs is between rave and new beat with four tracks of violent and hypnotic techno, mixing grunge and post apocalyptic influences. “Mermaid songs that don’t sound like a siren!”

We are presenting the second track ‘Christine’.
