TECHNO Records announces TECH035 — Curated by ANNĒ, a various artists compilation that introduces a new curatorial series on the label. Released today, 22 January 2026, the project frames curation as an act of authorship, placing selection, sequencing, and context at the core of the release.
The compilation brings together artists across generations, including Gaetano Parisio, The Advent, Cravo, Dold, Endlec, Sera J, Julieta Kopp, Mike Konstantinidis, Glaskin, Dynamic Forces, alongside the curator herself, ANNĒ. Rather than functioning as a name-driven showcase, the lineup is woven into a single narrative through deliberate sequencing.
A narrative shaped through techno
TECH035 follows a clear structural arc. The first vinyl opens with Gaetano Parisio’s “Deadline”, establishing a foundation rooted in old-school techno and physical momentum. This direction culminates in The Advent’s “Flux”, reinforcing the compilation’s historical backbone.
The second vinyl shifts toward a more introspective and soulful space. Beginning with NEWA — “Your Love”, the focus moves from propulsion to atmosphere and emotional density. The journey concludes with ANNĒ’s exclusive track “Daughter of the Wind”, bringing the narrative to a restrained yet decisive close.
ANNĒ: extending artistic language through curation
ANNĒ is a Greek DJ and producer from Thessaloniki, known for powerful, high-energy sets and emotionally driven productions influenced by Detroit and 90s/00s techno. She has performed internationally at venues such as Berghain, RSO, Fuse, Radion, Fold, E1, and Exhale, and released music on labels including Hardgroove / Symbolism, Soma, Mutual Rytm, Life in Patterns, and Out of Place Records, earning wide support across the scene.
With TECH035, ANNĒ expands her practice beyond the club context, using the compilation format to articulate her musical vision through pacing, contrast, and narrative flow.
A transitional release for TECHNO Records
TECH035 also marks a transitional moment for the label. Released under the name TECHNO Records (formerly Nechto Records), the project reflects continuity in artistic direction. Founded by Nastia, who remains the label’s curator and driving force, TECHNO Records continues to present forward-looking club music while building context around each release.
With Ukrainian roots and an international outlook, the label positions itself as a platform rather than a content factory, guided by principles of openness, responsibility, and honest creative methods. TECH035 — Curated by ANNĒ stands as a concise statement of this ethos.
