CKS – Recycle EP
CKS joins Gobsmacked for an end of year release, which in the mind of the artist combines all possible different universes into one EP. Under the guise of Mind, Texture, Power and Singularity, the EP is a powerful representation of personality, and creates a high octane and energetic form of music in a heavily mental and percussive style. Available from all stores and on USB from www.gobsmackedrecords.com

Oliver Kucera (Live):
Oliver Kucera, “raw”, “exuberant’, “pure talent”, a few words that have been used to describe Amsterdam’s techno jewel and phenom. He is one man with his machines, a one of a kind old-school meets new-school warehouse techno connoisseur who has been destroying dance floors across Europe with his live sets since 2004.
Jeff23:
Jeff 23 cut his teeth at the first London inner city warehouse parties. He began to DJ in 1991 and swiftly made a name for himself at club events and underground parties in the UK. Joining Spiral Tribe as the rave scene exploded across the country, Jeff then moved into continental Europe to help spearhead the nomadic drive of Spiral Tribe and became one of the major musical forces in the collective
Michael Lasch B2B Jonathan Ranzinger:
Hauptbahnhof Records and Back2Laser bosses, both long time masters in design of industrial influenced dance floor shaking sets, and bass heavy, driving tracks. Their back to back sets are renowned throughout Berlin as major motivators in the underground scenes.
Niall Power:
DJ/Producer/Promoter, Resident DJ with, Electric Circus, Techno Ding Dong and The Electric Circus show on opentempofm.ie. Vastly acknowledged for being a legend in the south east of Ireland, making his home city Waterford a benchmark for all things Techno in the region.
Millhouse:
Gobsmacked label boss Millhouse has been bangin’ out the tunes for almost 20 years. He has worked along side with some great DJ’s and producers in the industry; including Dave Clarke, Marco Remus, Luke Creed, Rhythm Technologies, Diarmaid O Meara, Dave the Drummer, Alex Calver, Patrick DSP and many more.
JGarrett – Proximity EP
Gobsmacked’s latest signing is a fitting one. U.S. / Canadian DJ/producer JGarrett has been involved in the scene for some time now and is chiefly renowned for his work at his own label, Subspec. A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the producer is currently living in Vancouver, Canada and this latest release marks his first since a recent appearance on Perc’s inimitable Perc Trax. JGarrett’s Detroit-influenced sounds continue to endear him to many, and this record, the fantastic Proximity EP, is sure to do the same.
Lars Huismann – Resistance EP
Lars Huismann returns to Gobsmacked with his signature metallic synth melodies and pounding no mercy primetime techno. This time he’s brought the big guns, and delivered a solid three track EP full of bigroom kicks, perpetually driving bass, and hypnotic sampling. Fellow Berliner Krenzlin has also stamped his mark on the release, making his debut on the label with an equally hypnotic peak time remix.

Future Sounds Vol.2
Music made for post-industrial spaces, pushing against the grain and societal boundaries imposed on us by those following globally destructive ideals. Music for allowing the consciousness an escape from daily monotony and the struggle to coexist alongside the monsters of wealth accumulation. Twelve tracks hand picked for their intensity, intelligence, and production skill, developed for a post industrial setting, and brimming with energy. Future Sounds Vol. 2 skims the surface of the techno scene, and manages to pick a dozen of it ́s best results from seasoned Gobsmacked artists, and newcomers finally joining the label.

Gobsmacked 10 Years Underground & Future Sounds Compilations
Irish label Gobsmacked has recently celebrated it ́s 10th birthday, and to mark this milestone, will release three VA compilations. With humble beginnings as a club-night in the South East Waterford city techno scene in 2007, the transformation to a label began with a blanket ban on electronic music events in the city, and the lust to create a platform for releasing music from local artists. Early releases received rave reviews and support across the spectrum of the international techno scene, which increased the confidence of the label and with this, the catalog grew with more and more increasingly eclectic sounds from international artists. The label made the move to Berlin in 2010, seeing no real progress in the Waterford/Irish scene, the draconian closing times, and police harassment of promoters/artists involved in organising techno events. This move developed into countless organised events, underground shows, podcast series, secret collaborations, and releases from hundreds of international artists. The first two celebratory VA compilations “10 Years Underground” consists of 60 tracks in two volumes, released over the label ́s first decade, which became the defining sounds of the label and the artists it promoted. The final VA compilation consists of the sounds Gobsmacked will be promoting in the immediate future, from artists considered to produce timeless dance-able electronic music in the underground sound of the label.
Eftek – Infiltra EP
Eftek joins Gobsmacked with an EP bursting with metallic sounds and technotic energy. Fresh from releases on Advanced and Techburst, the French producer brings his eclectic style with three original tracks
Vulture Culture – Delirium Tremors EP
Secret weapon production duo, Vulture Culture, drop a red hot EP onto the Gobsmacked catalog. Delirium Tremors features three raw and pounding original tracks, brimming with analog energy and intensity, ready to heat up that warehouse dance floor.
Diarmaid O Meara – Hardware Frequencies
Hardware Frequencies is the new EP from Diarmaid O Meara on the Gobsmacked imprint, and features 5 original techno tracks. Available on USB through Gobsmacked, and digital from all good download stores. After an extremely busy 12 months of releases and touring, including releasing his extremely well received “In Your Head” album on Gobsmacked, two 12″ records including his “Dreams” EP on Teja, and a collaborative EP with Oliver Kucera, this will be his first solo endeavor of 2017. Being dropped directly before a sister EP on the blisteringly hot Emetic imprint, Hardware Frequencies is a showcase of some of O Mearas most dance-able experimental productions of the past two years. Worked and reworked after countless dance floor tests across the European clubland, this EP features the combined influence and energy resonance resulting from relocating his studio to an old bunker by Berlin ́s violently historic Tempelhof airport. Covering a spectrum of techno from analog breakbeat and twisted experimental, to straight four four.
