Review: Christian Smith's esteemed Tronic imprint recently deployed the second edition in its More Than Machine series which explored more underground sounds than expected, mainly in the form of electro. British newcomer Client 03 drops some sublime futurist beats on 'Default Mode Network', legendary Belgian Marco Bailey delivers something different from his usual main room techno sound on 'Smoke It'. Over on the flip, Smith's former studio collaborator John Selway makes a welcome appearance on the sci-fi bass explorations of 'Phase Vortex' and Kanzleramt staple Alexander Kowalski delivers the EP highlight on the dystopian machine funk of 'Flickering Lights'.
Review: Scarcely the echoes are faded & Alexander Kowalski comes along with another floor burning piece of vinyl. This is the pre-single of his same titled 2nd album! After his debut-album "Echoes", Alexander just dropped two more bombs which we couldn't wait to release. Both tracks with rollin' basslines. Last but not least Diego's remix gives another great perspective to the title-track "Progress".
Review: The remixes by John Dahlback, Extrawelt and Kowalski's own remix give a fantastic twist to the original track. Extrawelt remix is probably one of the most talked about!! 'Start Chasing' is the second single to be taken from album '_Changes' and features the magical voice of Barca Baxant. 'Start Chasing' version has a housey sound that early fans of Kowalski were not expecting and it works perfectly! Extrawelt remix gathers people from the techno, electro, trance and minimal world.
Vibrations Of Gravity - "I Think You Are Gonna Like It" (5:02)
Review: Drei Vinyl arrived with a bang earlier this year, firing off a 12" pointedly titled A New Beginning with four hi-octane slammers from the boisterous end of the techno spectrum. Now the label returns with an eagerly anticipated sophomore split-disc, The Essential Groove. Alexander Kowlaski opens the record up with the thunderous, nervy 'Breakpoint' before Thomas P. Heckmann whips out a fun and freaky throw down for peak time situations. On the B side Dejota Doblecero creates a motorik cacophony of rhythmic brilliance on 'Alta Frecuencia', Pergo creates an infectious strain of carnival techno and Vibrations Of Gravity jacks harder than anyone on the blistering 'I Think You Are Going To Like It'.
Most Monkeys Live In Trees (Ritzi Lee remix) (5:49)
Stinger (Vil & Cravo remix) (6:06)
Lucid Mind (Mario Berger remix) (5:47)
Review: Leipzig hard techno devotee Oliver Rosemann knows what he wants in his club tracks, and so his Recorded Things label continues to lay out a provocative, potent strain of looped up intensity which keeps a necessary funk in its groove. On this latest release, his collaborations with Alexander Kowalski from last year have been picked up by a host of remixers bringing the heat in their own unique ways. Roll Dann does incredible work creating slippery, grinding hooks in the midst of thunderous propulsion on the remix of 'Stinger', while Ritzi Lee opts for tension and hypnotic pressure creating a new version of 'Most Monkeys Live In Trees'. Vil & Cravo's own version of 'Stinger' keeps the kicks super punchy and lets some catchy riffs circle overhead, while Mario Berger turns 'Lucid Mind' into a tunnelling, disorienting wormhole of the highest order.
Review: Recorded Things is a label name as simple and unfussy as you can get, but the music the label puts out is anything but. This fifth EP is a split between Oliver Roseman and Alexander Kowalski that speaks of dystopian days, dark futures and gritty warehouse raves. 'Stinger' is an edgy and raved up techno opener filled with texture and twitchiness, 'Pressure' then sounds like Jeff Mills in a k-hole. There are a couple of locked grooves chucked in as well as the bleepy cosmic sound waves of 'Stealth' and mechanical loops of 'Candyflip', all of which are equally potent
