Review: Hold tight for the blistering onslaught of glitched up Gabba madness transmitting from Dutch label PRSPCT and the mighty UK producer Deathmachine. The production flair coursing through 'Graphene' is enough to make your hairs stand on end, but it's not just lumpen brute force this veteran producer draws on. There's incredible detail etched into the balance between melodic synth parts and rapid-fire blast beats, although the energy tips closer to breakneck annihilation on 'Kinetic'. 'Energy' demonstrates the versatility in the Deathmachine sound with an embrace of synth and pop elements in amongst the stomp-out, making sure you never assume too much from this wild card legend.

Review: French synth-dub duo Froid Dub return with a fresh sonic exploration on their new six-track album, taking their blend of synth wave and dub to new depths. Known for their organic-meets-digital sound, they push the boundaries even further with this release. The album features the unmistakable rhythms of the TR-808, now more submerged than ever in the thick, swirling echoes of digi-bass, creating a hypnotic atmosphere. Perfect for fans of experimental electronic and dub, this latest offering is another testament to Froid Dub's ability to fuse genres in a way that feels both timeless and forward-thinking.
Review: After a small hiatus, SSSPCR focuses on a fresh series of new material. Both tunes have their foundations laid in the dead centre of techno music, but also provide an ominous dancefloor cadence. On the A-side, Casimir Desmet's 'Choke' betrays a variety of hardcore ingredients, taking the listener back to the glory days of the genre. 'Boiling Bodies of Blood' by Belgian producer Anthony Van Linthout, meanwhile, is one of his most oppressive grooves, his excitement for percussion evident and madly insistent in feel when paired up with the track's infernal synth groove, which uncovers a mild mental issue with its endless repetition.
Review: The Outside Agency plunges into auditory darkness with their latest EP, Future Wars, released on Genosha Recordings. This Dutch hardcore techno duo, consisting of DJ/producers Noel Wessels (DJ Hidden) and Frank Nitzinsky, delivers a powerful four-track banger that highlights their unparalleled creativity and mastery of distortion. The pair defy convention, offering a wild journey through pulsating rhythms and haunting melodies. Future Wars exemplifies next-gen hardcore music, solidifying The Outside Agency's position at the forefront of the Dutch underground scene. Celebrating over 20 years, Genosha Records continues to set the bar high with this release.
