THOMAS P HECKMANN

Review: Thomas P. Heckmann is in fine fettle on his debut for Sisters Recordings. Opening gambit 'Kopfgeister' is straight-ahead techno with some fuzzy bass and scuzzy synth textures that arrest your attention and keep you on edge for the duration. It's pure, heart of the dance floor at 3am stuff. UK artist Clouds then brings plenty of British flavours to a remix built on broken beats and coarse metallic textures. After that broken beat madness, 'Spectral Emotions' is another smooth but stinking track with rubbery drums and kicks bubbling away beneath some sci-fi pads. Bristol maestro October offers up a Return 2 The Jungle mix that is a caustic acid and abrasive loops.
