DL Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The London-based Brothers label has stood out from its inception amongst the raft of techno white labels popping up of late thanks to its unique concept, which sees each release featuring collaborations from some of contemporary techno's brightest names. Leading the way on this third release is the somewhat unexpected pairing of Power Vacuum boss Milo Smee and former New Yorker Douglas Lee, who deliver "The Verge", a "raw rave tune steeped in overtones and hypnotic bass rhythms" which apparently came out of the duo being studio neighbours in Berlin. The flips sees Scottish techno veteran Neil Landstrumm collaborate with Forward Strategy Group's Patrick Walker on two tracks; the swirling dervish of busted chords that is "Miami Hydra" and the darked out broken techno of "Red Burger Ripple". This is Brothers and this is heavy.
