As RA report, Manchester techno duo AnD are set to put out their debut album. Cosmic Microwave Background will be released through Electric Deluxe on October 20. That's the cover above, a reinterpretation of one of the duo's paintings by Electric Deluxe's Jan Willem van de Baan, and it'll be preceded by a sampler 12", Dark Matters, out on September 29.

They'll be launching the album at the label's show at the Amsterdam Dance Event on October 18. Get a taste of what to expect with the bracing techno podcast they put together for RA earlier this year, one of our favourite mixes of the year.
