The Higher (V2014)
Review: Right on cue, Rene Pawlowitz drops another set of Head High bangers just in time for summer. While previous releases from his much-loved Power House imprint have been short but sweet affairs, the brilliantly named Megatrap offers a full nine tracks of what Hard Wax have referred to quite concisely as "uplifting Breakbeat Techno in golden 1990s leaning style". Those who have heard the previous Head High material will know exactly what to expect, but there's still much excitement to be had in getting stuck into such a sizeable portion of throwback techno, the likes of which are likely to liven up any party. There was never any doubt, but Pawlowitz has done it again.

Review: Old flatmates Function and Ed Davenport (aka Inland) team up to deliver a two-track 12" of synthy techno that sounds like what Klaus Schultz and Kraftwerk might be making today if they were contemporary techno artists collaborating. You can really feel that Function is exploring his kosmische side of tonal and synth production on this release, while it's easy to assume that Inland, recently a proponent of dubby rhythm tracks, helps provide both pieces with a solid backbone, flecked with Function's trademark percussive sequences. Beginnings of a new project? We can only hope.

Shallow Pool
Dependant Stage
Review: Once in a while James Ruskin reveals just how diverse a producer he can be, and so it is on this new Blueprint release with its crisp electronica undertones striking a chord with the recent Function / Inland release. The title track especially balances deft, broken rhythms with bold, brassy sweeps of synth, keeping a primal analogue feel to the production and sounding not dissimilar to early Autechre. "Shallow Pool" is even further out in leftfield with its languid guitar tones and distant piston-pumping beat, while "Dependant Stage" comes over all electro as though suspended in mid-air.

Review: Previously responsible for some of the best work (and track titles) on the Dixon Avenue Basement Jams label, mystery man VernoN brings his distinct styles and capital N to the excellent Apartment label and delivers their first long player in the process. Allegedly based in Marseille and with a background in Belgium, there's a degree of opacity to VernoN's story that suggests it's wiser to focus your attentions on his music, not his story. If he did spend time in Belgium, he clearly used it researching the country's rich New Beat heritage, as it's on display across Watched By The Experts. Six tracks deep, this new beat influences is mixed up with dabs of house, electro and techno with the results an album (of sorts) that will remain in the record box of many a DJ.

Review: More brain-melting techno from Rrose on the producer's Eaux label - and if you take the label's other releases into account: you've been warned. "Pentagons" is a gurgling self-modulating monster of climbing tones and destroyed frequencies - think Kevin Gorman's "7am Stepper" on a brutal overdose of steroids, while "Ammonia" sees Rrose return to the Sandwell District sound we all fell in love with in 2011, only cultivated further. Completing this monolithic release is the acid-tripping "Mirror", a minimal (by Rrose standards), resonance-fuelled trip down the rabbit hole every clubber should experience every now and then. Donato Dozzy eat your heart out!

The Darkside
Tic Tic Tic
Review: You'd probably get a funny look from people if you asked what track was playing when this Derrick May classic is on. Mayday's The Darkside was first released in 1987, and because of its grimier, darker sounds it became a bona fide underground classic for Kevin Saunderson's short lived Pheerce Citi label, especially considering Inner City's "Good Life" and "Big Fun" was released a year later. Almost three decades on it's still a bona fide classic, while "Tic Tic Tic" still supplies the stripped-back OG-techno heat. So now you can kiss all those dodgy bootlegs and edits good bye because and pick up a fresh, unworn copy to rinse for the next 30 years.

Ferox is proud to welcome established and respected producers such as Fred P and Germany's Move D to the roster, as well as a welcome return from Affie Yusuf, Nebraska and Bush Funk (Steve O'Sullivan and Winlord X) who were last seen on Soma Records back in 1996. The label is also proud to introduce two new artists, Darren Harris and Spain's Hoax Believers who alongside label boss Russ Gabriel round off this package of soulful electronica.

Pev & Kowton - "Raw Code" (Surgeon remix)
Asusu - "Sister" (Nick Hoppner remix)
Review: It's a mark of the respect the Livity Sound crew are held in by their peers that the ongoing series of remixes hasn't resulted in a duff one since the series was inaugurated by MMM and Hessle Audio's Pangaea back in late February. This fourth edition really slams home how flossy Pev, Asusu and Kowton's collective contact lists is with highly respected figures of the electronic music spectrum in Surgeon and Nick Hoppner contributing. In remixing the immediately recognisable "Raw Code", Surgeon has been handed perhaps the most difficult task of the series so far, and the UK techno legend has opted to leave little of the original production intact. Meanwhile, the accompanying rework of Asusu's early Livity Sound release "Sister" from Nick Hoppner is a less drastic revision, with Panorama Bar resident Hoppner a wise choice to tease out some of the more ambient elements of the Detroit techno-influenced production.

Unanimity
Review: First emerging on his own self-titled label back in 2011, Abdulla Rashim has cultivated a brand of extended, atmospheric techno that explores African and Arab motifs under a cloak of intended anonymity. Respected hubs like Prologue, Semantica and Studio Barnhus have all issued work from Rashim in one form or another and he's also developed a fine curatorial streak as the head of the Northern Electronics label. It's through this outlet that the Swedish producer issues his debut album Unanimity, with the nine-tracks exactly the kind of immersive experience one would expect, poised somewhere between the psychedelia of Dozzy and the slightly foreboding sound design that punctuated Silent Servant's excellent 2012 LP.

Sequence 2
Review: Deepbass has slowly been chipping away at his dark techno craft since 2009, and it seems that the Scottish producer is finally breaking through. He does so on fellow Glaswegian Edit Select's label - coming with the honour of an Edit Select dub, if we could all be so lucky. This dub is searing techno made for big rooms, but without the headspinning confusion you get from Rrose's productions. Meanwhile, owning the B-side, Deepbass' "Sequence 1" glistens with an effulgent halo of cool sonics similar to that heard throughout Voices From The Lake's music, while "Sequence 2" is bubblier and more alive. Three big tracks from two of Scotland's big guns.

Never Grow Old (re-plant) (7:22)
Phobia (re-plant) (5:35)
Review: The latest transmission of M Plant's 20th Anniversary celebrations sees label boss Robert Hood come through with some self styled 'replants' of recent Floorplan material. "Never Grow Old" of course originates from Hood's triumphant 2013 Floorplan LP Paradise, arriving midway through and impressive enough to feature in Ben Klock's Fabric mix. Here the gospel vibes remain but they are complemented by a searing Motor City key line that is really quite hypnotic over it's seven minute duration. Complementing this is a replant of "Phobia", one of Hood's last releases of 2013 which evens out the hoover rave overtones of the original in favour of some trippy synth loops that prove just as effective.

Denying

Manipulation
Fall In
Review: Given how hot last year's In Plain Clothes EP was, it's little surprise to see Berlin dwelling Italian pair Marieu and Lucretio make a swift return to the Hype LTD label for a second 12" release as The Analogue Cops. Like that previous 12", Hot Brass Dance sees Marieu and Lucretio offering up solo productions with the latter calling shotgun and lining the A Side with two killer numbers. Both "Denying" and "Do It Forever" sound like forgotten vocal house tracks from the Relief archives rescued from a crusty DAT tape and spliced with the rawest drums we've heard in some time. Marieu takes a more mind bending approach with "Manipulation" that features the sort of vocal trickery you'd hear on a classic Dance Mania production complemented by a very unpredictable acid line that has laser like qualities. And banging drums. The craziest is saved till last however with "Fall In" a deranged acid monster.

Starting Over
Encircle
Review: Earlier this year Terrence Dixon announced plans to retire from making music with immediate effect, sending shockwaves through a techno community that was still basking in some fine recent albums for Tresor and Surface Records and a clutch of 12" material. One of Dixon's final acts before coming to his decision seemingly was to record A Mind Of His Own, this EP for Metroplex and if it is indeed the final piece of production work from him, it's a fitting send off with Juan Atkins' label one of the first to usher in his work as Population One back in 1996. Opening cut "Musical Promises" is Dixon at his most enveloping, especially when the brisk percussion drops out to let the thickness of the production consume you, whilst "The Jazz Student" and "Starting Over" are as good as any of the lithe, alien techno that he committed to the Reduction cause.

The Dream Is True
Mysterious Love

Emblema
Review: Ilian Tape continues to be code for "absolutely killing it mate" with the Zenker brothers introducing us and you to the production talents of Sciahri with the Mysterious Love 12". Spend some time with the sound clips here and you'll be hard pushed to believe this is Sciahriar Tavakoli's debut 12" as Sciahri, such is the standard of productions. Tavakoli's stated interest in the loop techno pioneered in 90s era Birmingham is very much evident on a cut like "The Dream Is True" but there's some nice little touches slipped in that give it some true personality such as the spin back in the breakdown. The title cut is a stern faced dubby number that just tunnels and tunnels away, whilst there's a cheeky strut to the way Tavakoli implements the filters on "Mind". The final track "Emblema" is the kind of techno number you want to drop right when everyone has forgotten their names.

Review: The inclusion of veteran Chicago producer Gene Hunt on Delroy Edwards' L.A. Club Resource label may initially seem like a bit of a strange move, but on listening to Pandemonium it's easy to see the connection between Edwards' own raw, grotty, overdriven take on house and techno and the two productions from Hunt on this 12". Both sound like the most primitive of jack tracks, with the title cut featuring a queasy synth line which careers in and out of sight amongst some satisfyingly crunchy drums, and "Jackzone" providing an even more disorientating take on house music. For fans of L.I.E.S. and L.A. Club Resource this comes highly recommended!

Review: This fourth album from British techno veteran Inigo Kennedy - his first since 2010's decidedly ambient September Pieces - has something of a "catch-all" feel. You see, Vaudeville refuses to stick to one sound, style or groove, instead referencing the many styles of techno and experimental electronic music that have inspired the popular producer over the course of his 18-year career. So, there are murky, IDM-inspired techno floor fillers (the melodious but faintly foreboding "Requiem"), early British psychedelic techno ("Plaintive"), dense, darkroom grooves ("Vallecula"), classic Yorkshire bleep and bass ("Petrichor"), Kompakt-ish organic techno ("Winter"), and spooky, droning ambience ("Narrative").

I Want You (Luke Hess remix)
It's Slow (Truncate Raw mix 2)
Defunct (Truss remix)
It's Slow (Truncate Raw mix 1)
Review: The remixes don't stop on Prime Numbers with Trus'me swooning two Americans and Truss to remix three of his own. Luke Hess gets progressive and dubby in his remix to "I Want You", while Truncate supplies two raw mixes to "It's Slow". The first is smooth and underground, almost like a pitched down Dance Mania record with less in your face sexual innuendo, while the second crunches the signal so much it sounds like its being packed and squeezed through a meat grinder. The Truss remix could almost be considered deep house, but it's got enough bottom end to be warranted the techno tag, and Detroit flavoured pads and sensual atmospherics make this one of the most intriguing productions he's made yet.

Review: Launched last year as an extension of the successful Montreal radio show and loft party of the same name, Jurg Haller's Forbidden Planet has eased itself into the affections of record buyers everywhere. Inaugurated by D'Marc Cantu's Some Fantasies Are Good, Forbidden Planet has since introduced unheralded names like Breaker 1 2 and Boreal & Lnrdcroy, artists you can spend hours wandering down blind alleys on the internet trying to identify. The label's fourth release sees Forbidden Planet call on a more established name again in the shape of Mono Junk, aka Finnish producer Kimmo Rapatti. Much like the Finn's recent turn out for Skudge White, this untitled four track 12" really slams home how criminally underrated Rapatti is as a producer. There's hints of Psyche era Carl Craig to opening track "Shotokai" and from here Mono Junk showcases his production versatility taking in woozy mind benders ("Bleep Number 9"), nimble melodic electro ("With You") and subaqueous techno filled with deft rhythmic touches ("Kime").

Review: Code sees Patrick Graser issue his debut album as Answer Code Request with the twelve track set comfortably ranking among the best long players issued on Ostgut Ton in recent times. Though Graser has been releasing records under his given name since 2008, it's his work as Answer Code Request that has seen the German truly find his sound. First appearing under the moniker in 2011 with the self-released Subway Into EP, Graser has gone on to release with MDR and Ostgut Ton with the Breath EP issued on the latter earlier this year a fine taste for what to expect from Code. ACR's weighty breakbeat driven techno is very much in evidence here, at times it feels like how Hessle lad Joe might sound if he grew up in the outskirts of Berlin ("Field Depth" in particular). At other times Graser's suggestion that Code is influenced by the 90s sounds of UK bastions such as Warp feel very much true and the more you listen the more you feel he's successfully managed to deliver a cohesive and continually compelling techno album.

Highlife (Willie Burns remix)
Review: Andrew Field-Pickering seems to be on a roll at the moment. Following last year's brilliantly madcap drum workouts under the Dolo Percussion moniker, he returns to the more familiar Max D guise for an outing on the always-impressive Unknown to the Unknown label. "Highlife" is in many ways typical of his recent output, with pitched-down jungle drums underpinning typical tropical synths and a bouncing, off-kilter bassline. It's hard to pin down, but impressive nonetheless. Willie Burns remixing, turning the left-of-centre original into a wide-eyed chunk of African-influenced tropical deep house. It's a little saner than the original, but no less potent.

Review: Last seen entering the Mystic Jungle, rugged Italian label Early Sounds returns with more mysterious fare in the shape of Dorko's Antruum from The Normalmen. With no real clue as to the identity of The Normalmen or indeed the origin of the rather oblique title, it's best to focus on the music at hand and fans of the Early Sounds label will be pleased to hear the five tracks here fall snugly within the defined aesthetic that Rio Padice, Leskin and Massimo De Lena have swiftly established. There's something about lead track "Empty Silence" that reminds us of Parris Mithchell's Dancemania classic "All Night Long" though it does have the added bonus of a wickedly fuzzy acid line, whilst "Mazine Order" and "No Limits" demonstrate The Normalmen are equally adept at running a deeper groove. Another big drop from the Early Sounds crew!

Review: Making a welcome return to the fray with another rare outing for Uzuri, Jitterbug is in top-drawer house mode across the board on this six track groove fest. "Sweet Tooth" works a funky bass lick and little touches of guitar around a rough beat to devastating effect, while "Jus Drums" offers up a rasping rhythm set for all creatively minded spinners to get in a lather about. "Surge" has a more urgent funky techno spirit about it, tapping into the swung style of Stephen Brown with ample interwoven melodic threads. "Ache 4U" takes a slower, smoother approach with a beautiful reflective house excursion, before "Koko" ramps up the energy with a lively disco infusion, leaving it to "Trak 6" to level proceedings with a nasty drum heavy bumper.

Review: There's some crafty wonkiness afoot on the second offering from Gauss on their self-titled imprint. While it's not at the expense of ear-snagging melodic licks and decisive propulsion, "Schwarzgerat" maximises on offbeat hat and snare placement to make a head-turning groove that should appeal to all off-kilter techno spinners. "F(X)" has its own curious kink in the drums, taking a slower route peppered with snappy square wave ripples and a mystical ambience draped around the sharp beat, before "Quadratic Forms" finishes the EP off with a broad-sweeping, grain-spattered drone piece with nostalgic 80s orchestrations and expressive filter sweeps to get ambient heads quivering with excitement.

Here, the two join forces for a voyage into acid-flecked late night science for Absurd's ever excellent Acid Test series. "Test 7" sets the tone, delivering a hypnotic, heads-down journey into deep, stripped-back acid house. While it's the EP's most obviously floor-friendly moment, there's something far more thrilling about the bubbling, beatless electronics of "Test 2" and "Test 3". The latter, doused in minimal techno atmospherics, is intensely beautiful in its warm, melodic simplicity.

Review: Depicta/Acephale II marks Call Super's third appearance on Houndstooth, and it contains what is easily some of the Berlin-based producer's fiercest tracks to date. "Depicta" features the kind of hefty 4/4 kick drums that would make Jeff Mills jealous, combining them with otherworldly pads which seem to blend into one another like ink being added to water; "Acephale II" takes a similar approach but is joined percussion that sounds like a stream of pure data travelling down a knackered copper wire. Another record to add to Call Super's flawless run of form.
