Marcel Fenglers IMF label kicks off 2025 by unifying different generations on `The Past Voices EP. It arrives on 7th February and features much-anticipated debut tracks from Tarkno alongside fellow new school talent The Sixth Sense who also goes solo on the flip while veteran Stigmata remixes. Germany-based, Australia-born Tarkno is as authentic as techno gets. His vinyl-only sets across several turntables have lit up the world's best clubs while his production journey begins here and shows his sounds are pure, machine-driven and forward-facing. Here he works with The Sixth Sense who is at the heart of the Berlin techno scene with his seamless blends of nostalgia and futurism coming on this label as well as Abstraction and his own Akashic Records. First up the pair offer the muscular bounce of 'Past Voices' with rattling percussive grooves, dusty drums and tunnelling synths that drive on with inescapable force. 'Watch Out' is another expert blend of funky loops, ticking hi-hats and trippy synth details and the banging 'Outsider' is a thrilling and physical sound with expert filters teasing out tension. Remixer André Walter aka Stigmata has helped to define the techno underground since the 90s with several different projects on serious labels like Modular Source and Mutual Rytm. Here he flips 'Outsider' into a dense techno blizzard with pulsing synths and hammering kicks topped with urgent sirens. Finally, The Sixth Sense then goes it alone on the unrelenting drum funk of 'MK-Ultra' while the final cut 'Plato' is a wall of textured loop techno that will leave any 'floor locked-in and marching on. The Past Voices EP is a timeless testament to the power of pure, unadulterated techno brilliance.
