Keepsakes

Keepsakes (@keepsakesish ) — Dystopian Euphoria [HVN018] on HAVEN (@hav3nintl ) _ HAVEN co-founder Keepsakes is finally back on his own imprint with 5 fresh originals filled to the brim with warped alien sound design, driving and grooving drum rhythms, and acerbic track titles fresh out of a twisted after-hours chat. Following on from releases in recent years on KAOS/OAKS, Turbo Recordings, Perc Trax, and Boys Noize Records, this latest EP maintains his signature toughness alongside his fun and quirky sound choices while taking his sound further in to jacking and groovy territory. _ Tracklist: 1. Vocoding Your Nan Out Of Existence 2. Get To Know It In The Flesh 3. Ready2BeginWot? 4. Hollow And Suited 5. Corvid House _ Full streaming now on our New Techno Tracks YouTube playlist.

Vinyl for my latest EP on the legendary @turborecordings is landing this week and is sounding heavy here at goblin HQ 📀💦📀💦 From funky forest rave bombs, to pounding industrial vocal attitude, to musings on the probability of swallowing celestial matter - this record pulls together a lot of threads I’ve been exploring in my 12 years of releasing music… Very happy with the final result and the opportunity to work with such an influential label that has been going strong since 1998!! Big ups to @tiga and @guthrie___ for supporting my music and pushing me to come out with some of my best work to date 🙏🙏 Vinyl + digital versions are available via all good record stores now!! A1. Impossible (Eating The Sun) A2. Bongo Funeral B1. Snacks At Waco B2. Parasocially There For You B3. Nimby Orgy #keepsakes #turborecordings #nztechno #chchtechno #newtechno #impossible #eatingthesun

PUR returns. - After a packed night at Pōneke’s newest club, we’re stepping back in on June 6 — bringing another late-night sweaty cardio session to the capital. This time, we link with Breakaway to deliver a double headliner lineup and an audiovisual experience. - We’re proud to bring Valerie Ace as part of her NZ run. A driving force out of Berlin, with releases on Intrepid Skin, Haven, and KAOS, and appearances at Tresor Berlin, RSO Berlin, and Fold London. Followed by NZ’s techno don and HAVEN owner Keepsakes, known for his heavy hitting and eclectic sounds. - Local support from CYXQRD and PUR owner Flipit on a b2b to ease into the heavy session. - June 6 San Fran — 23:00 Tickets in Bio

We’re blessed to welcome Tbilisi-based producer @clinicalhates1 on to the label for the first time for the second instalment of our digital series with his single ‘I Can’t Miss’ coming on May 8th 🕷️🕷️ Following up on excellent releases for the likes of Perc Trax, Gomboc Records, and Mama Told Ya, HVND002 reflects his driving, yet clean and contemporary sound. Sharp vocal cuts, rhythmic bleeps, and intricate textures all underpinned by tightly programmed grooving drum patterns makes for another slab of techno weight ripe for the club in the Georgian artist’s impressive discography… Head over to Bandcamp now to receive the track ahead of the official release date next week!! You can also stream the track in full on Soundcloud thanks to @rawppl 🔊🔊 #newtechno #tblisitechno #nztechno #clinicalhates #groovetechno

This King’s Birthday weekend HAVEN celebrates our lizard overlords with another double international weekender on the @galaxybarchch dance-floor 👾💦👾💦 Saturday May 30th we invite HAVEN signee and Berlin techno weapon @valerie_ace_ in to our booth with her distinctly futuristic sound that spans rave degeneracy to dub and Detroit influences amongst razor sharp sound-design. This has led to releases on the likes of Intrepid Skin, BNR, Mama Told Ya, KAOS/OAKS and beyond as well as sets at RSO and Tresor in Berlin, Fold London, Stone Techno Festival, and OIL Shenzen. Kicking off the night we have Ōtautahi’s @tom.plum taking over the HAVEN floor for the first time, while our resident @theratttttt will warm your souls before our guest… __________________________________ Sunday 31st May we celebrate the Monday off with a live set from UK dance music stalwart Guy Brewer’s most recent project @c_a_r_r_i_e_r_ . He made his name with previous forays in DnB as part of Commix, releasing on Metalheadz, Exit, and 31 Records, and in techno as Shifted, founding the Avian label and exploring rhythmic noise, drones and dubbed minimalism. 2023 saw the launch of Carrier on The Trilogy Tapes, distilling influences from DnB, dub techno, and experimental electronics into an approach valuing space, simplicity, and atmosphere over adherence to genre. His most recent album on Modern Love further solidified this genre-bending approach with a result that is genuinely new and progressive amongst a sea of cookie-cutting nostalgia… On support we welcome 2 newcomers to the HAVEN booth - @____shli opens with his wonked bassy selections, while @ayalunaisonline is closing the evening with signature psychedelic bass selections… Sound supplied by 03 legends @subtlesystem 🔊🔊 Artwork by HAVEN co-founder @mariecelestelawrence 🎨 #valerieace #carrier #nztechno #chchtechno #nzrave

Do you ever cover yourself in vinyl for comfort? 📀💆 My latest release ‘Dystopian Euphoria’ came out last Friday via @hav3nintl and is now available via all the usual physical and online record stores!! 5 horrid goblin stompers for your club pleasure - been playing these a lot the past 6 months if you’ve caught me DJing 👹👌 As always the best place to support me directly is via Bandcamp - thanks for all the early support on there so far. It means a lot after 10 years and 21 releases deep in to this project to still have people enjoying my output!! Currently working on the next batch of tracks every day in the studio alongside preparing for more touring later this year… in the mean time catch me in Australia this weekend for sets in Naarm at @solace.bar and Meanjin for @aaru_meanjin 🦘🦘 #nztechno #technonz #newtechno #technomusic #chchtechno

Introducing the upstairs acts for our next label night - April 17 at @solace.bar . Not only is the scintillating force of @hasvat_informant & @kait.xri , and the all-vinyl power of @keepsakesish a true representation of the c|b sound, the three have also played a key role in shaping who we are today. Either through their sets at prior parties, their contributions to our releases, or in their definition of sounds that have guided us, these artists are special to the label, and hence it’s an honour to let them rip on the F1s on the top floor of our home. GA tickets going quickly. Grab one in the usual spot.
