PORNBUGS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Germany's Bondage Records presents the tenth edition of Bondage Games, featuring four select contributions from some excellent producers in electronic music. On Side-1, Dachshund's 'Keep On' delivers a deep techy house vibe with a sexy loop, perfect for late-night gems. Following up is Sascha Dive & Pornbugs' 'Digital Dusk', a grooving techy house track that sets drives a heady atmosphere. Side-2 introduces Markus Homm, Brad Brunner, and AG Swifty's collaboration 'Take Out', a catchy tech house gem while the compilation closes with Alex Ranerro's 'Gotiva', a deeper, more ominous track leaning towards progressive house elements. Bondage Games 10th edition promises a collection of deep dancefloor grooves, tailor-made for darker clubs. With its diverse range of tracks, this release gives a DJ alot of great choices.

Review: The long-running Bondage Games series creeps ever closer to a 10th installment here with four more cuts of stylish minimal house and tech. Mihai Popoviciu kicks off with 'Elevation Zero' and soon sinks you into a nice silky groove with warped pads and glistening tech drums. Pornbugs & Cristina Lazic keep the smooth and serene moods going with the subtle and supple 'November Haze'. NTFO then explores a spaced-out electronic house sound that is brilliantly seductive and dynamic on 'That's The Drill' then Rhadow's 'Seven Motions' closes with a clipped groove flecked with dub minimalism.

Review: Bondage label heads and assured house duo Pornbugs have cooked up this new 180g 12" alongside Frink, a mainstay of the underground and maker of many great bangers. Their work is fresh and contemporary throughout here, starting with the warming and sundown sounds of dubby tech roller 'See Through My Eyes'. Miroloja remixes it with a little extra sci-fi atmosphere but no less pace, then 'Sigma' is a nice elastic tech house vibe with smeared pads and dubby overtones. The Roger Gerressen remix might be the best of the lot - another of his signature dub reworks with ripping chords and claps to die for.
