Review: An EP packed with eight innovative, rhythm-driven tracks that push the boundaries of the genre. This release shows Broom's decades of expertise, blending raw energy with precision-engineered grooves to create a dynamic and forward-thinking collection. Opening tune 'Romance' is a colossal banger that sets the tone with its relentless drive and pulsating beats. 'Dated' is a contrasting minimal approach, anchored by a heavy, hypnotic rhythm. 'Movement' shifts into alien sci-fi territory, its propulsive energy and otherworldly sound design creating a cinematic atmosphere. Other highlights include 'Post' with Broom's ability to craft inventive drum patterns - a truly unique rhythmic experience. The EP closes with 'Ranger', a tribal powerhouse that's the most intense cut on the record, combining heavy beats and primal energy for a track destined to ignite dancefloors.

Review: British techno mainstay Mark Broom rightly won praise for his first Mutated Battle Breaks EP, which showcased a variety of killer club cuts designed purely to suit thumping peak-time techno sets. We'd be surprised if this similarly superb sequel doesn't get rave notices too. It begins with a bouncy, riff-sporting slab of warehouse-ready tech-funk (Dave Angel would be proud) and ends with the dark, twisted and similarly rave-era-inspired techno-jack of 'Pump'. In between, you'll find six other short, sharp bursts of breathless techno brilliance, including the acid-fired sweatiness of 'Game' and 'The Start Up', and countless basement-bothering thumpers.

Review: UK techno veteran Mark Broom knows how to bang a box and get great techno magic out the other side. That disproven time and time again here on this new and third volume of Mutated Battle on Matt Radio Slave Edwards's Rekids label. 'Cloning' is crispy and precise old school techno with vast drums and frosted synths. The rest of the cuts are just as simple but effective, where powerful kick are combined with deft synths to make for muscular sounding cuts that will jack up any dance floor. Timeless stuff from a true techno titan.

Review: Mark Broom's Mutated Battle Breaks series is proving to be some of the most inspired music from the UK techno stalwart in years. When you're getting a Mark Broom record you expect a certain degree of techno functionality, but here he's ladling the rock solid rhythms with serious funk and flair. The offbeat synth groove of 'Tube' feels like a nod to Robert Hood's pioneering style, but Broom does plenty to jazz the music up in his own way. 'HF2 (Bass Line Mix)' features some cheeky acid and a subtle swing to the hats which will get you locked in hard, and then 'TEST25' fires off an absolute stormer with some of the toughest finger-clicks you'll have ever heard in a peak time techno monster, laden with disco string stabs.
