System Revival Recordings Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Veteran techno producer Steve Bicknell brings fresh life to his classic work with this remastered double pack, Lost Recordings #1: Why? & For Whom? This release takes listeners deep into the world of hypnotic rhythmic techno, offering a range of minimal styles that keep the energy flowing. Some of the highlights include: 'Magnitude Of Such' which kicks things off with a gradual build, creating a sense of anticipation that pulls you in. 'Construction Of Thousands' introduces a Detroit-inspired, otherworldly melody that stands out with its rich textures. 'Mobile Terminals' shifts the experience into a spacey, futuristic trek, making it feel like an exploration of uncharted territory. Finally, 'Accelerating Others' delivers a disorienting soundscape, reminiscent of a lunar landing, closing the journey with a sense of mystery. Bicknell's mastery in minimal techno shines through in this release, making it an essential addition for anyone looking to dive deeper into the genre's more hypnotic side. Not too many people are doing techno like this on such a high level like Bicknell is.

Review: Welcome to System Revival Recordings, a new label which inaugurates itself with an EP from Headless Horseman. He is someone who has a sophisticated sound and experimental approach to sound design that always brings his techno to life. 'Minor Setbacks' is a new series of releases on this label and its cut here is a fierce one indeed that was originally made as support for a Various Artists compilation for charity for Beirut in 2020. It has lashing of acid flash about the mix over tight, textural drums. Berlin's boundary breaking Monolake and Detroit's influential Erika add their own remix.
