Back catalogue: Techno (Alles)

Review: Like the orographic cloud formed around the hill on the front cover, Martinou's latest record is a restorative future garage via techno myst. Released through the German minimalists Fauxpas - who've confirmed their pride at having finally gotten to release with the Swedish artist - this vinyl edition contains an exclusive track on the fifth runout, 'Thoughtless'. But the fact is, all the tunes here are more than worthy for soundtracking a condensate moment of downtime and renewal. Paced blissfully, our faves are 'Woven' and 'Hold Then Release', both of which exculpate all our anxieties through burbling, filtered woodblocks and field-studied sonics, hand-picked to arrest and wow. A sublime new outing from the Sewer Sender founder.

Martinou's 'Matter EP' delivers a stunning blend of atmospheric and melodic techno across four stunningly beautiful tracks. Side-1 begins with 'Solid Core', an atmospheric piece that draws you in with its tribal rhythms and dub-influenced elements. The production is layered and dense, creating a deeply textured soundscape that feels vast and otherworldly. 'Better Place' follows, offering an ethereal journey through techno. Its delicate, airy melodies float over a steady, driving beat, creating a sense of weightless movement that feels almost spiritual. Side-2 opens with 'Expanding', a smooth and wonderfully melodic track that shows Martinou's talent for crafting intricate, emotion-filled techno. Its subtle progression makes it both soothing and engaging. Closing with 'Reality Bends', the EP edges closer to trance territory but with a electro beat.. Overall, 'Matter' is a masterful EP for people that love deep emotional techno.

Review: Martinou and Ben Kaczor are accomplished collaborators with releases on Appian, music_is and KCZ, and as such theirs stands out as one of the most compelling projects in the electronic scene. Joining them on Alpengluhen for this one, Tarik Hensen brings his intricate, dub-tinged sound to what is a magnificent new EP that captures the essence of their blended sounds with deep emotion, hypnotic rhythms and understated minimalism. Each track is a versatile gem that, all perfectly suited for shifting moods on the dance floor or elevating the vibe in discerning after-hours venues.
