As a thrilling return to the Techno-Pop sound that he helped to define with electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk between 1974's 'Autobahn' and 1986's 'Electric Café', an all new electronic album Magazine 1 has been crafted by Wolfgang Flür alongside some of the most famous names of synth-pop and electronic dance, past and present.

Featuring Midge Ure (Ultravox), Peter Hook (New Order) and Claudia Brücken (Propaganda), alongside the legendary Techno DJ's Juan Atkins and Carl Cox and Electro-Pop titans U96, plus appearances by celebrated alternative electronic artists and composers Ramón Amezcua (AKA Bostich), MAPS and Anushka, adding just a frisson of deft contemporary nuance to the proceedings!

Available in CD and LP format.

Wolfgang Flür - Magazine 1 is out Friday, 4th March 2022 on Cherry Red Records and available for pre-order now.

The new single by Maxthor, Far Away, is out now and sounds stunning!

Coming out of Spain in a haze of neon lights, electro synth pulses and eighties rock brilliance is Maxthor, a three piece with a unique and original retro futuristic sound. Forging a broad spectrum of influences, Maxthor take irresistible echoes of eighties giants like Phil Collins, Billy Idol and Survivor and filter them through their own lens of synth driven futurist-nostalgia.

For ‘Instant Sunshine’, LAU has teamed up once again with American producer Brian Skeel, with whom she’s worked on her first album ‘Believer’ and the result is as catchy as always.
