EQUALIZED Vinyl & CDs

Review: The big, bad Shed is back with the eighth outing of his Equalized imprint, and we are well up for this! The label has been dormant for a few years now, but as soon as we saw that blue sticker land on our charts it took us back to simpler times, when phat-ass techno was being pumped out on white labels week in, week out. Unsurprisingly, both of these cuts are absolute bombs, with "Track 1" taking us right to the heart of the Berghain dance floor thanks to some absolutely booming kicks and, of course, the man's signature dub wise moves lingering overhead; "Track 2" is a much more cavernous affair, unloading a dark, endless wormhole of woozy bleeps and background noise, pushed forwards by sweltering break beats and that inimitable Shed touch.
