Review: Tolga Baklacioglu's releases may not be all that frequent, but when they do arrive they're always worth a listen. Your Secret Face is his first outing of 2018 and sees him join forces fast-rising Russian artist Dee Grinski. The latter's stylish - and heavily distorted - spoken word vocals can be heard on the EP's opening and closing tracks, with the latter - an 11-minute experimental epic that could feasibly soundtrack nuclear Armageddon - also benefitting from her drowsy, improvised singing. No doubt she contributed heavily to the EP's instrumental cuts, too, which are bleak, fuzzy and industrial in the best possible way.

Review: Bambooman (real name Kirk Barley) is a London based producer who presents his fourth release on Matthew Herbert's Accidental imprint - which follows up last year's terrific long player, Whispers. His new offering is the trippy minimal techno kicker "Ricochet", with its sparse arrangement revolving around a stuttering bassline and nasty chord stabs awash in plate reverb. On the flip, the man himself Herbert steps up to deliver a wacky and glitched out remix in his own truly idiosyncratic style once again.

Review: Former 50Weapons regular Bambounou (real name Jeremy Guindo-Zegiestowski) was last seen dishing up Afro-fired tribal techno on Disk last summer. Here he joins the growing roster of top talents signed to Nic Tasker's effervescent Whities label. All three tracks on offer hit the spot, with pulsing A-side "Temple" - an alluring mixture of drum machine polyrhythms, metallic electronic melodies and glitchy electronics - beautifully setting the tone for what's to come. "Tour" is an arguably more out-there - and certainly weightier - chunk of late night broken techno, while "Seize-Sept" sees the Parisian producer layering bleeping melodies over a spaced-out deep techno groove.

Parametr Perkusja (12" in screen-printed sleeve)
Cat: DISK 014. Rel: 05 Jun 18
Review: At first glance, French enfant terrible Bambounou is a surprising addition to the Diskant impint - now known as just Disk. Known for his techno and house exploits on Clek Clek Boom and 50 Weapons, his knack for intricately programmed rhythms were on display even back then. It kind of figures that he'd be a good choice for the label, come to think of it now. That's certainly proven across the three tracks on the Parametr Perkusja EP, where his sound sits comfortably alongside label mates like Harmonious Thelonious and Durian Brothers. From the slo-mo esoterica of "Dernier Metro" which reaches near tribal moments, the hard hitting polyrhythmic techno of "Kosovo Hardcore" it is great to hear some original productions from him after lengthy absence.

Public Skin (white label 12" + insert limited to 200 copies)
Cat: BSHELL 01. Rel: 27 Mar 17
Review: Having shot into the limelight in 2012 with a 12" on Hessle Audio followed up by an outing on Liberation Technologies, Bandshell has since been on covert operations largely centred around releasing his music himself via Bandcamp. Now he's extended that practice into the B.S.Hell label, providing a physical presence to his wayward experimentation on the fringes of bass music. It's a sound that naturally aligns with the likes of Batu and Laksa, but also defiantly makes its own statement as well. With five tracks of distinctive drum science and textural voodoo to indulge in, this is a welcome return to wax for a thrilling, self-motivated producer.

Review: Ostgut Ton staple Sam Barker returns with the second edition on his eponymous sub label, featuring another intriguing collection of leftfield electronics. Opening epic 'E7-E5' is an utterly majestic and blissful affair that exists sonically at the intersection of dub techno and Motor City soulfulness, but next offering 'Bent' goes south of Heaven and into darkly dystopic realms for this off-kilter deconstruction of electro aesthetics. Over on the flip, we have the glassy-eyed IDM of 'Polytely' taking you on a glorious nine minute brain dance. Mastered by Stefan Betke at Scape Mastering.

Review: Berlin-based producer and DJ Barker has long been an underground innovator associated with plenty of vital labels but he hasn't dropped a new solo EP for a couple of years now. Thankfully he rights that wrong and and steps up to the 30 year strong Smalltown Supersound out of Oslo with a new four track offering that "sees him inverting the musical equation and exploring both the variability and sonic possibilities of a kick-drum." Opener 'Birmingham Screwdriver' will rewire your brain with its fizzing frequencies and skewed bass, 'Wick and Wax' is bright and hyperactive techno-pop and the flipside gets much more raw and dark. A fine return.

Review: Barker makes his debut for Smalltown Supersound here with four cuts that find him move away from the beatless experiments of his 2019 album Utility and his Debiasing EP the year before. Here the Berghain resident explores what he says is "the variability and sonic possibilities of the kick-drum." The EP kicks off with the acid-laced first single 'Birmingham Screwdriver' which is a fine introduction to what is a fine EP. The EP reflects the organic approach that Barker takes to making music and showcase great ideas and fine sound designs throughout.

Review: After initial outings from phile and Ptwiggs, the Deep Seeded crew welcome phile member Barking into the fold for another excursion into crooked techno from the outer realm. There's a lingering sense of industrial malaise emanating out of "Singularity" thanks to some dense signal processing, while "Clay Passage" pings off into a strange but utterly accomplished trip into Fourth World techno that packs a serious rhythm without the need for obvious drum lines. "Pathos" matches malevolent beats and tones with dominant ambience to create a proper push 'n' pull of a track, and then "Prone" rounds the EP off with some gutsy analogue demolition for the broken techno and electro crowd to get wild to.

Review: Boris Barksdale's Eternal Remorse originally saw the light of day on Portugese label Eye For An Eye as a digital release back in 2018, and now it's getting a vinyl pressing. A physical release feels appropriate for this pointedly dusty release, which leans in on synthwave influences to create a thoroughly dark and gnarly atmosphere. '5.0.5' steps out on a tough, dishevelled rhythm section, with seriously degraded synths falling apart behind the jackhammer drums. '7.0.8' takes the intensity up a notch, hitting with an industrial bite, while 'Sentier' channels even more of that Ministry-flavoured malaise with its disturbing yelps and screams. 'Sramota' has the hallmarks of a mid 80s bedroom beatdown from a blackened soul, 'Take Notes' delivers yet more pounding, percussive punishment, and 'Geezer' rounds things off with a bleak and troubled slab of EBM dragged from the underworld to stalk amongst all nightcrawlers and ne'er-do-wells.

Review: Producer and DJ Stephan Barnem teams up with fellow artist Futuristant for a cross-Mediterranean foray into high-concept melodic techno. 'Don't Cry' is nothing short of a euphoric anthem, mixing tropes from synthwave, electro and big room into a piece that could easily function as the next HALO soundtrack theme. A robotic voice narrates the entire journey - "bringing you light, I am the star, shining so bright, I am the rain refreshing the earth, I am the laughter, I am the mirth" - as if it were the telepathic monologue of a deus ex come to grant salvation to us all.

Review: Barnt returns for a weighty, new wavey three-tracker on Kompakt, not quite straying from his trademark minimal tech style, but nevertheless working in novel elements. 'This Is For The Decor Only' is a glistening ambient trance cut, working in detuned leads and melodic 'woahs' (woah indeed), while 'You Know What's Gone' recalls everything from mid-80s body music, new romantic dance, and medieval music. 'Fan' is the ambient closer, revealing the producer's musical talents far beyond that of mere dance music. As Barnt says, he wanted to touch on a "ceremonial, emotional, grand spirit", and he's achieved just that.

Review: The icy techno sounds of Cologne's Barnt make their way across Europe here to Studio Barnhus's Swedish bunker. Across five fresh cuts, he brings plenty of experimental flair but also some playful rhythms to a forward-thinking EP that sounds like little else. 'Aqua Melopella' is an unsettling opener with glistening synths scurrying like ants over a sparse rhythm, 'Aqua Breeze' establishes a marching beat and 'Aqua Bass' brings twanging synths and frosted loops that keep you on your toes. 'Millennium Silver' is another tune blend of dystopian synth sounds and distorted lines that speak of human destruction and last of all 'Millennium Melopella' offers moments of ambient reflection.

Review: Off the back that recent appearance for the illustrious Hinge Finger label run by Joy Orbison and Will Bankhead, techno deviant Barnt returns with a magnetic, and inimitably loose, 12" for the imperceptible Holger imprint. We love the material that these guys put out, and this EP from Barnt feels like exactly the right territory for the label to explore. "A-Seite 1-5" opts for the beatless approach, immersing us into an open-world of minimalistic pads shifting and moulding into one another in a subtle sort of trance - excellent. The more representative Barnt flex comes through on the B-side via "If She Says She Is a Healer, She Is A Healer", a cold, mesmerising techno bullet with a strange, twisted armoury of explorative synths recalling the Middle East. That's what it sounds like to us, anyway, but that's exactly what Barnt's music does; its vibe is ever-shifting, always in a state of flux and, of course, highly recommended.

Review: London's Public Information are experts in the art of surprise. With artists like Austin Cesear and Katie Gately on their roster, one would never really expect to have Bass Clef turn up on there in full effect. While his sound is always pretty diverse, this is possibly one of his finest EPs yet, where techno, bass and house are all mashed up in a tasty cocktail of glitchy beats and hazy snares. "Sometimes The Only Way Out Is To Go Further In" is a jam you'd listen to for hours, whereas "Elsewhen" is a lot more lo-fi but nonetheless filled with odd melodies and nasty acid squelches. On the flip, "Faster Than The Speed Of Love" verges to almost electro levels, while "Neon Black & Vulcane" is the oddball of the lot. Broken beats, aqueous melodies and some great FX trickery. Sublime.

Review: Brothers From Different Mothers stalwart Basses Terres is a producer to whom easy categorization cannot be applied. For example, on his 2016 debut, he rushed between a quartet of experimental techno, leftfield and electronica excursions, while 2017's "Counting Pulsations" cassette was a druggy trip rich in ambient, dub and "dungeon synth" flavours. So what's on offer here? More intoxicating, otherworldly concoctions, that's what. Highlights include the dark tropical ambient of "665 Moths", the dubbed-out post-dancehall weightiness of "Wilfred Doricent", the slipped and spacey electronica of "Deliae" and the fluid dreaminess of gently percussive closing cut "Sentiment Oceanique".

Review: There has never been a moment in time where France's Versatile imprint stopped to innovate and evolve. They are, without a doubt, one off the most prolific and trusted imprints to have ever graced our dance charts over the years. As such, they're back with a collaboration from two compatriots, the renowned Pierre Bastien (Rephlex, Morphine etc etc), and relative newcomer Eddie Ladoire. The duo have only recently struck a studio relationship, thanks to an LP for Un Je-Ne-Sais-Quoi, and they are clearly in sync. Phantom Dance consists of one original, a vast, explorative journey of synths held together by a loose percussion, a remix from Suzanne Kraft, who comes through with a more dubby, beat-heavy approach, and two more mixes - the killer Oceanic club version, and the loser, ambient-rich Oceanic Garden version.

Review: Batu fairly owned 2015, launching his own label Timedance as well as landing killer blows for Beneath's Mistry and the excellent Hotline Recordings and this momentum has continued into 2016 with the wonderful Bleeper Feed for Dnuos Ytivil. That 12" landed at the end of January, but Batu clearly has some killer material stockpiled as demonstrated by the suitably named Monolith. Here, Batu presents three examples of his growing prowess for UK bass science, mangling techno into a form that can be described his own. The title track has a touch of that Acido oddness to it, mixed up with rugged UK flavours whilst "Reez" feels less concerned with the dance. Instead it's a chance for Batu to explore sound design and intricate patterns for drums and basslines. It's no surprise that PAN associate Lee Gamble was attracted to the idea of remixing this track, resulting in a wondrous hazy, dubwise fog.

Review: Batu has proven himself hugely capable of making a wide range of music. He might be best known for his perfect techno designs but here delves further into the world of ambient. Across four tracks he explores a number of moods with painterly synth work that is detailed with gentle percussion, gorgeous keys, and in the case of 'Flown,' jazzy splashes of cymbal. 'Half Speed' is idk a slow awakening on a distant planet. 'The Fifth' brings more bright and energy synth motifs and 'Seams' is a soothing lullaby. A beautifully escapist listen.

Review: Credo boss Alex Bau returns with some deep dub techno excursions on the fittingly titled Echo Echo imprint - a new Echocord sublabel. With previous releases on top labels like CLR, Kombination Research and Cocoon - you can trust this veteran A.M. specialist. From the glacial and cavernous "Clouds" and the introspective dub of "Contour" nailing that Basic Channel vibe of old. On the flip, we get two versions of "Zenstory". The first (prelude) being a chilling ambient version while the second is a stripped back epic that builds full of tension and suspense throughout.

Review: Leeds-based label Turnend Tapes showcase the wide and very assured skills of Malmo man Martin Abrahamsson aka Bauri across a choice selection of five tracks from the more thoughtful and atmospheric end of the techno scale. That's not to say there aren't grooves aplenty going on. Opening track 'Zoom0036' has some irresistibly shiny, downbeat electro moves, offset by a touch of Autechre-like ghostliness. 'Jody' comes on like Drexciya at their perkiest, with a soupcon of Air Liquide's cheeky phasing, while 'Sunrise (take 2)' has the majesty and simplicity of Aphex's first 'Ambient Works'. Flip it over for 'Easter Sunday', where streamlined polymetric machine funk and solar flare arpeggios do a merry dance, before 'Feeling Reprise' finishes things off with spiralling half-speed beats and yet more melodic grandeur rising out of the mix. Abrahamsson has a long, impressive pedigree with more alter egos than you've had hot dinners, but this is up there with his most original and confident efforts. It's a Flow-brainer.

Review: Well Curated is a series of releases and parties that - in its own words - "reflects the ethnomusicology of the last 50 years of music" - and aims to reach into all genres, merging classic styles and breaking down barriers. Steve Spacek occupies the A-side with the breezy broken beat and soul-in-space of 'Alone In Da Sun', while Lukid's 'Hair Of The Dog' is a more intense counterpart, with wobbling sub-bass and swirling, surging atmospherics hovering above.

Review: Electronic experimentalist Andrea Belfi has always been hard-to-pin down, with his use of a dizzying array of aliases reflecting his desire to flit between different styles. Cera Persa is a rare outing under his given name, and offers two contrasting riffs on the same dystopian, end-of-days theme. The creepy A-side "Cera Persa 1" sits somewhere between apocalyptic, slack-tuned experimental jazz, horror influenced ambient, and undeniably deep and dark techno. On the flip, Belfi attempts to explore even murkier pastures, with dislocated drum hits, effects-laden electronics and ghostly melodies combining to send shivers down the spine. It's pretty out there stuff, all told, but also strangely alluring.

Review: Michigan producer John Beltran is a master of atmosphere and emotion. His ambient has been used for countless seminal TV shows, he's been cited as an inspiration to Four Tet and has put out key albums on labels like Delsin and Peacefrog. Here he is in a distinctively club-focussed mood, but the synths still very much speak to your heart. "The Lake" is pure Motor City techno soul, and the ambient reprise allows you to wallow in his pads even more. "Twilight" then bustles with shimmering metal hits while pixelated keys drift about like a million fire flies in a warm night sky. Lush.

Review: When it comes to floor-filling tracks that balance smart drum programming with pure melodic bliss, you can always rely on John Beltran to deliver. The five track EP contains masterful ambient pieces with a Detroit/Chicago analog house vibe bringing a warm and psychedelic feel. He joins the label's third release with a brilliant chill-out EP entitled 'The Peninsula', united by another Detroit legend Luke Hess, bringing his traditional 303 upbeat sound remixing 'Begin Again'. Visual artist Alona Rodeh also joins the release showcasing her stunning High-Vis (Future, Black) which featured in her first solo exhibition at the Christine Konig Galerie in Vienna last year.

Review: Fledgling Brooklyn-based imprint Styles Upon Styles issues the fourth in their series of conceptual BASH releases with Portland based producer Best Available Technology pushing them buttons. The central concept of this series is asking producers to deliver music across a variety of styles that can be split roughly into two categories - Bangers and Ash - and BAT does that with certifiable aplomb here laying down three lurching Ash experiments and two steely-eyed Bangers. It's a further mark of the producer's blossoming talent following issues on like-minded labels Further, Opal Tapes and most recently Astro:Dynamics with the opening cut "Bulldozer Rituals" particularly worthy of your attention.

Review: Portland-based "sound artist" Best Available Technology has notched up numerous album releases over the last four years, including acclaimed cassette outings on Opal Tapes, Astro:Dynamics and his own Working Nights. Here he releases a rare vinyl EP, serving up four tracks of experimental house and techno. Naturally, there's much to enjoy, from the strange shuffle of the warped electric piano riffs and metronomic kick-drums of "The Astrarium", and the drone style hypnotic textures of closer "Post Pressure", to the ultra-deep house/minimal techno fusion of skewed opener "Twisted Ladder". The EP's other excursion, the dark and claustrophobic, experimental techno outing "Robert Damiens", is similarly potent.

Cat: FIB 001. Rel: 09 Apr 24
Review: A repress of Innershades & Betonkust's 2018 new beat sensation 'Forever In Boccaccio!' has long been requested by hardcore record collectors. And now it has become available and has been fully remastered and housed in a new sleeve design, limited to just 300 copies. It was first made, according to the two being it, in January 2017 "under grey Belgian skies," when they had been consuming lots of acid and new beat, which of course shows. The title cut is brilliantly dark and gothic but is backlit by haunting vocal harmonies and underpinned by a menacing bassline. The three other cuts explore similar moods and grooves with great authenticity.

Review: Cong Burn made a mighty splash with its first release, clearly flaunting the kind of wares you'd expect to hear from Livity Sound alumni or other such esteemed techno renegades. The second installment is no slouch either, featuring a new cast of crooked creators offering up their wares for the modern mutant dancefloor. BFTT has a weighty low end thrum powering "Public/Private", while Lack takes things in a scuffed and nimble direction. Chekov pushes out into more experimental pastures with the broken beats and displaced sound design of "Celeste" and Howes creates a wonderful strain of mystical deep house for darkened souls. Each one of these tracks is loaded with flair and personality, yards ahead of your average generic knock offs and presenting something with real merit to the convoluted world of dance music.

Together they were inspired by the rugged beauty of Conamara, County Galway and began the project in a 300-year-old cottage overlooking the sea in a place free of creature comforts but rich in inspiration. Using a handheld recorder, the duo explored tidal caves, ruins and windswept coastlines while recording the ambient sounds they heard on the way and then turned them into these deeply textured dub compositions through live desk mixing at Dubkasm's studio.

Review: With an extensive legacy and a list of alter egos longer than your arm, Martin Damm aka Biochip C achieves a delicate balancing act on this 11 year old record, a handful of extras copies of which were recently unearthed in what can only be described as a highly fortunate 'warehouse find'. He pulls off a delicate balancing act here, letting the abrasive, industrial punk rock side of his music off the leash to frolic unhindered, while never losing sight of the needs of dancefloor and its needs across the six tracks. Highlights? Well, the title track's speedy electrofunk is highly addictive, 'Eraser' has a driving, chunky techno edge that fans of Force Inc will love, while the double dub speed grooves of 'Knobgine' and 'Liquid Silence' are forces of nature in themselves.

Review: Ever since Nina Kraviz launched her Trip label back in 2014, Bjarki has been the imprint's most prolific artist. The Icelandic producer's latest release is his eighth in total for the label, and follows a trio of albums and a quartet of 12" singles. It's an intriguing EP, all told, with Bjarki combining experimental-minded sounds, motifs and production techniques with bombastic, four-to-the-floor techno rhythms. The results are generally intense and impressive, with highlights including the surging, Surgeon-seque madness of "Hatann Satann", the insanely bass heavy and energy-packed "Oli Gumm 2-2", and the crackling, spaced-out creepiness of the metallic and otherworldly "Fork2-2".

Review: Given he's previously released some seriously creepy, atmospheric techno on Berceuse Heroique and Pinkman, you'd expect Black Merlin's Mannequin Records debut to be similarly unsettling. That's certainly the case with A-side "DEF", a hypnotic and feverish affair where raw and restless, industrial-inspired riffs rise above paranoid, held-note chords and a locked-in drum track. You'll find more brain-melting, razor-sharp modular motifs on the arguably even more intense and wayward "Oba Enka", while closer "Ham" wraps undulating, acid-style electronic motifs around an altogether fuzzier, looser groove. It sounds like it would be capable of inducing vivid hallucinations in early morning dancers, which in our book is no bad thing.

Review: Following up some great tracks on Pinkman, Mannequin and Malka Tuti in recent times, British synth wizard George Thompson returns under the Black Merlin alias - delivering some bold EBM and electro-noir antics for Berlin imprint She's Lost Kontrol. The rusty grind of analogue arpeggios, with minimal rhythms awash in icy trails of reverb plus guttural howls through walls of distortion shall taunt you throughout the sonic contents of the Noi EP. While Thompson sure has a knack for nailing all the hallmarks of early industrial music, he still finds time for the same tribal meditative minimalism found on his Karamika project as heard on the riveting "Noi 2" - one of the EP's highlights.

Review: As the Lowtec-affiliated Out To Lunch label continues its very welcome return to activity, so the mystery continues. Last up was the anonymous intrigue of The Hangout Project, and now Black Point emerges as a hitherto unknown proposition. Whatever the case, the music sits comfortably in that warm and curious bosom of Workshop-friendly vibes, from the deep plumbing techno of "Mythic" to the end-of-the-world stalker "Black Point". "Vespers" moves with an ethereal beauty in its haunting synth tones, and "Give Up" drops all kinds of scatty rhythmic configurations for your cerebral pleasure. Who cares who it is? This is damn fine electronic music from the odd cracks in the dancefloor.

Protoplasm sees Argabright return to BEB as Black Rain and it represents the first new material from this project in some 17 years. Described quite aptly as "four tracks of desolated cyberpunk techno" this collection was recorded live from the mixing desk whilst Black Rain performed at last year's Blackest Ever Black label showcase in London and offers some fascinating insight into how the forthcoming album from Black Rain which is pencilled in for an early 2014 release on BEB will turn out.

Review: It's another magic moment of old school vs new school on this fine collaboration between no wave legend Stuart Argabright AKA Black Rain and man of the moment Nino Pedone AKA Shapednoise, on his own Cosmo Rhythmatic imprint. "Metal Home" merges Argabright's screeching guitar feedback with the shredding white noise so typical of Pedone. "Autonomous Lethality" has Shapednoise all over it with its relentless body bashing bass frequencies. Miles Whittaker delivers an absolutely mental reshape of "Interceptor" like only he can before we're presented with the original version, which is equally as intense in its own right. Shapednoise's unmistakeable white wash of distortion merges with Argabright's dark atmospherics so perfectly. Not for the faint of heart!

Review: The notion of a second record from Black Sites on PAN was first mooted by the Berlin label back in January and finally arrives to sign off another year of fine releases overseen by Bill Kouligas. As Black Sites, the Golden Pudel pairing of Helena Hauff and F#X has exhibited an auspicious talent for delivering mucky, freeform dancefloor beaters that tend to stretch past the ten minute mark in just a few releases. Title track "Unit 2669" certainly continues in this fashion, ripping through almost 12 minutes of grotty industrial strength 303 action, but "MOCKBA" hints that Hauff and F#X have other cards up their collective sleeves. Here the pair dip into the kind of abstract electronics you'd find on a Container record. A great way to sign off 2014 for PAN.

Review: Tapping into the more techno-minded of PAN's output, this new collaboration sees Golden Pudel residents F#x and Helena Hauff knocking heads for two tracks of grainy, thudding analogue business that stay true to the label's left-leaning reputation. "Prototype" is undeniable in its sense of purpose, with a measured but insistent Italo bassline buried under a grind of decaying synth filed into a catchy melodic refrain that at once strains at the leash as it falls in line with the unflinching kick. "N313P" is more startling in its layers of bright melody, still spluttering through imprecise processing but coming off equally tough and effervescent after the fact.

Review: Given the artists assembled to rework Blondes when their debut album was released a few years ago, it's unsurprising that this EP of remixes is of a similarly high standard. Released digitally by RVNG Intl, it's Syncrophone vinyl heads can thank for granting these superb remixes the 12" edition they truly deserve. Of particular interest is Huerco S's version of "Wire", which delivers a clanking, murky, industrial and frankly chilling ten-minute trip into fuzzy techno territory. Almost as impressive are the versions of the same track by Function (deep, spacey techno) and Claro Intelecto, who surprises by delivering an intricate, organic-sounding rub full of winding chords and melancholic intent.

Review: Simon Pomery aka Blood Music has already put out an EP on Powell Diagonal label - a true lesson in contemporary power electronics and steely-eyed pseudo dance music - so we knew that we'd be getting our heads battered once more. The opener, "Chicks", is a harsh and abrasive tribal dance to Lucifer, its rumbling kicks bouncing off poisonous guitar riffs, whereas "Sharking" is all hollow and beatless, pushing forth the delays and effects in favour of the noise. On the flip, however, the aptly named "Badgering" spits brain-damaging layers of machine feedback from its underbelly, the only thing holding the track together being its utter violence. There's a gorgeous Helm remix on "Chicks", where the young Pan affiliate strips the tribalism down to industrial levels and fills the canvas with a generous portion of reverb. Hotly recommended!

Review: After kicking things off with the killer "Mariachi Guadalajara" by Lewski, Or:la's Cead label returns with another emergent talent, Blu Terra. The Warsaw based producer comes on strong for this breakthrough release with the heavy slapping, sound design-enhanced electro of "Person Sans". Even if the opening track felt detailed, it's superseded by the barrage of information spilling out of crafty, distinctive acid monster "20,000". "Western/Eastern" spreads across the B-side in a nervous twitch of rave energy geared towards big dark spaces, perfect for that spine-tingling part of the night when the real world feels very far away indeed.

Tiwala (hand-numbered 12" in hand-sprayed sleeve limited to 200 copies)
Cat: KIMOCHI 56. Rel: 12 Aug 24
Review: Bluets' debut on Kimochi Sound seamlessly integrates into the label's well established and distinctive style. This one, with a hand-sprayed sleeve as always, opens with "if you can imagine," a confident bit of microhouse that mixes rich melodies and a lively bassline. 'Action Potential' echoes RDMA's aesthetic with its precise beats and on the B-side you will find a vaporous melody that weaves through sparse downbeat house grooves to make for a dreamlike atmosphere. Closing the EP, 'Buong Bilog' features distorted IDM rhythms and a poignant refrain that balances twitchy textures with melancholic tones. This carefully crafted release bridges home-listening electronics with dancefloor clout.

Future Tyrants (limited hand-numbered 12")
Cat: AUFNAHMEWIEDERGABE 3. Rel: 14 Jul 15
Review: Joey Blush AKA Blush Response hails from NYC but is very much a resident of Germany's capital nowadays. In fact, he's so popular there already that he's landed on Philipp Strobel and Gabriel Brero's aufnahme + wiedergabe, home to like-minded EBM enthusiasts and darkwave specialists. "Future Tyrants" itself is a pulsating slice of noise-filtered techno, and "Civilian Slaughter" scraps the straight beats in favour of pure chaos in the form of huge walls of cavernous sonics. The flip sees the nastiness that "Seven Rays" deliver some pounding, head-tripping kick drums amid squelching sounds, and the more minimalistic "Fenix" deliver some real poison. Nasty!
