Mysterious techno producer and live act Vril will release his new album this month via Marcel Dettmann’s BAD MANNERS label. 

Comprising seven cuts of cavernous, distorted techno, with hints of house groove and twisted melody, ‘BM4’ is a collection tailor-made to be heard on powerful speakers. ‘Nosode’ is the album’s centre piece: a roaring anthem with a pounding kick and screeching synth lead. Check it out below.

A crowdfunder has been launched to publish a book about Poland's techno scene.

Launched by Radosław Tereszczuk, Artur Wojtczak and Łukasz Krajewski, three key members of Poland's techno scene, a crowdfunder has been set up to raise money to publish '30 Years Of The Polish Techno Scene' - the very first anthology of techno and the electronic music scene in Poland. 

Not just limited to techno, the book contains more than 700 pages, and is filled with photos and stories from those involved in the techno, house, and drum & bass scenes in Poland, past and present. 

Music documentary 'The Sound of Belgium' is free to watch online now via Vimeo. 

An Instagram post by Josh Cheon, boss at the much-lauded 80s-influenced synth label Dark Entries, signposts to the stream link. The film itself was originally produced in 2012, with Jozef Deville directing an in-depth insight into the Belgian New Beat, EBM, house and techno scenes. 

The version available to watch is the Director's Cut, which features seven tracks that were not included in the official release.
