Review: Mihail P brings us a 4 tracker, including a special John Shima remix. We start with the title track "Relinquish", a nice journey through deep space at a modest tempo. It features electro breaks rhythm patterns and harmonics to send you in to orbit. Following is "Shifting", a more acid tech vibe and straight 4/4 chugger, in line with proper Detroit / UK lushness from the 90's and forward. Flip to the B side for "Reliquish John Shima remix". It's hard to say which track is the peak, but this one's a contender. John Shima is known for his signature bleepy, but danceable sound. He adds layers of synth programming intelligence and great basslines as usual. Finally the B2 "Close to Zero" is the closing tune. Similar to the opener, we find more electro breaks, synth basses and a cool pad to complete the perfect journey.

Review: Depending on whether or not you had a material arts phase during your childhood you might already know that a Dojo is a place to do karate. Dojo Zone, though, is a place to pull a different kind of move - dance moves. His Abduction EP sure will get you doing that with the mysterious cosmic vibes of 'Nocturnal Activity' built on rugged drum patterns and snaking bass. Elsewhere is the intergalactic techno trip that is 'External Energy' and acid funk of 'Mystery On Pete's Street' as well as a fine John Shima Extraterrestrial mix.
