Check out the latest on Laster Records
Laster Records is a new imprint launched by the Laster Club collective in Madrid. Alongside its local activity, Laster has organized events in clubs across Amsterdam, Paris, and Berlin, and collaborated with festivals building a community around contemporary underground techno. Their first release is a VA that features some of the finest talent in techno.
The A-side opens with Alarico’s “Of Which Sugars”, a gritty, percussive storm of fast-paced techno, where tension builds through syncopated rhythms and distorted grooves. Following is Yanamaste’s “Disconnection”, a cerebral track infused with cold atmospheres, broken patterns and a sense of controlled chaos — reflecting the Georgian artist’s unmistakable mental approach. On the flip, Chontane delivers “Palindrome”, a futuristic and dynamic tool with flickering synth stabs and machine funk energy. The EP closes with Roll Dann’s “The Red House”, a cinematic and melancholic trip through layered textures and deep basslines, paying homage to the label’s own mythology.
