Review: D Leria (Giuseppe Scaccia) leaves us delirious yet again with another frontline hypnotiser EP for Non. This sextet of sound-scanners seem at first glance as deliciously want of emotion as any release on Non ever gets, and yet through D Leria's characteristic sound, we hear an EP unafraid to scrape against the emotive skysill, though not before a transition through the wacky. The A2 'Energia' pits wriggly lead whirls about sprung kicks, and 'Kaleidoskop' veers gooier, spraying an array of cephalopod ink-squirtings on the surround mix. We return to Brum techno arcana with 'Voodoo Magic', while the ambient highlight 'Apnea' is likely to be the most "melodic techno" vibe ever released on Non, teasing the leaden cheese whilst technically getting away with a more suspensory roller. Closer 'Goccia', finally, is the closing masterclass in sensory sapping and tactile tongue-tying, foreclosing on beats in favour of low pulsations against which giant laser-neurons spark like thunder overhead.

Review: Orbe's Absolute Zero on Non Series Records offers a thrilling dive into underground, sci-fi techno that keeps you locked in from start to finish. The title track, 'Absolute Zero,' sets the tone with its menacing, hard-hitting beats, layered with an alien, sci-fi edge that feels otherworldly. It's the kind of track that grips you with its intensity. '20kv' follows, delivering a relentless, percussive assault that adds even more weight to Side-1. On Side-2, 'Spark Gap' is a heavy, tension-filled builder that delivers a powerful punch. Finally, 'Bronze' wraps things up with a sick, soundtrack-like vibe, offering a cinematic close to this intense collection. Fans of hard, sci-fi-infused techno will enjoy Orbe's ability to craft tracks that are both intense and detailed.
