Review: Classy deep techno label Delirio continues to take us ever further down a cerebral electronic rabbit whole with these two serene bits of musical escapism from Formant Value. 'Centroide I' pairs gorgeous ambient sound design up top with a fathoms-deep bassline that pulses more than kicks. Both work to sink you into a real state of hypnosis. 'Centroide II' has a slightly more prickly bassline, with watery droplets and big caverns of sound round every corner. What's more, both tracks were mastered by Neel at Enisslab, Rome, so you know they'll sound as good as possible on a proper system.

Review: For the 10th release, label owner D-Leria invites the Polish-born, Reykiavik-based artist Milena G?owacka who celebrates her debut on Delirio with "Immensity EP": a mixture of warm ambient with dark but intimate sonics, including a remix from a fanatic of analog synthesizers ''Mod21'' As well as the whole catalog ''DLR'', it will be released as a vinyl 10 inch clear and will be available on Bandcamp on October the 29th.

Review: By now, Ukrainian techno slammer Stanislav Tolkachev has really racked up an impressive amount of releases on his catalogue, and it sounds like the dude is getting more abstract these days. This debut release for the young Delirio imprint is a good measure of how wild and abstract his forms have become, with "VHS1" being a stripped-down, glitch-heavy groove made of freeform bleeps and distant, muted bass bumps; "VHS2", unsurprisingly, churns out the 4/4 like a speeding train of metal - still carefully crafted with the help of curious synth patterns that remind us of Population One's darker material. The flipside kicks off with the gloopy, distorted lament of broken down beats and utterly screwed up cello chords, while "VHS4" tinkers with some delightfully creepy piano keys that could fit in well in just about any David Lynch film. Recommended.
