KPAINS3 by Various Artists

Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains label continues to fire out consistent and quality club bangers, and on KPAINS3, the label assembles eleven new tracks & remixes from some of the rising stars in the techno and electronica genre.

KPAINS3 features many of the label’s regulars, as well as some new talent shining through. From the brooding and dubby openings of KUSP’s remix of Dense & Pika’s ‘Hard Echo’, the album unfurls with a myriad of acid, rave, industrial and funky techno tracks. Up and coming artists such as Risa Taniguchi, Anna Unusyan, Queers On Acid and Drumcomplex all deliver sterling productions, whilst new talent are also put under the spotlight, with contributions from the likes of Rawfox, Efan Feekar and The Reason Y.

Coined originally as an offshoot label to Dense & Pika's self penned label, Kneaded Pains has now taken off into it’s own orbit with a slew of Techno weaponry from new and established artists alike in the shape of Mark Henning, Melody’s Enemy, ONNO, VONDA7 (et al), each release custom made to ignite those tougher leaning dance-floors.
