Review: Ghetto Supastar is a song by American rapper Pras, but is also the name of this new 12" from 207737 on the Detroit Techno Records label. It embodies a new sound coming from the celebrated Motor City that draws on everything which went before and adds new perspective, emotion and sound designs. 'Stella' is a lithe and soulful cut with minimal drums and a cosmic atmosphere, while 'Tribal Dance' brings brighter chords and more playful patterns over raw-ass drums. There is plenty of Omar-S's rough hewn drum work in 'Apply Pressure' and elsewhere '8 Mile Boogie' brings a Mediterranean Balearic vibe to the D in superb fashion. An intriguing EP for sure.

Review: Ilian Tape staple Andrea returns to the imprint, marking a big one for the Munich-based operation with a massive album by Skee Mask also this week. As always, UK and rave influences are abundant throughout the talented producer's work and this one is no exception. This EP is called Sktch and features the cavernous, glacial and downright knackered dub techno of 'Sarec', followed by the sinister subterranean breaks of Auxl and the meditative deep dubstep frequencies of 'Kjones' which sees him delve deeper into off kilter territory.

Love & Light (limited 180 gram clear vinyl LP in embossed sleeve)
Cat: PHLP 13. Rel: 27 Nov 20
Review: In recent times Daniel Avery has been busy collaborating with the likes of Alessandro Cortini and Roman Flugel (the latter as Noun), so few expected him to drop a new solo album in 2020. Yet Love & Light, his surprise third full-length, could well be his most sonically stunning set to date. Beginning with the gaseous ambient opaqueness of 'London Island', the set sees him blaze a trail through 1990s style Sabres of Paradise/Sabresonic techno, hazy dub techno, beatless soundscapes and intense drone tones, before switching focus to deep, gentle and melodious mutations of breakbeat, IDM and electronica.

Review: Ali Berger has long been known for crafting soulful, dynamic house music whether through his label Trackland or releases on Spectral Sound, Clave House, Firm Tracks, and FCR. He also performs solo or with Davis Galvin as Hits Only when his unique touch always remains evident. This new 12" features four tracks that blend uplifting and introspective house vibes and it oozes class. Opener 'Sun Rising On Harmony' boasts an infectious bass line and melody, while 'Inside,' offers a classic acid house feel. On the B-side, you have the lovely 'Thoughts Like Light Snow' which delivers an alluring electro twist, while 'Mint Leaf' closes with a rich bass line and intricate details.

Review: M>O>S Recordings has long focussed on serving up dusty houses that hark back to the golden era of Chicago. That's the case again here from BOHM who also draws on bleep techno across four ageless cuts. 'Ethereal' opens up with analogue percussion and smeared chords adding soul to the physical drums. 'Creatures' gets a little bit darker with more menacing low ends, scraping hits and glassy melodies. 'Visions' dart around on a warped bassline with razor-sharp hi-hats and New York deep house kicks and snares and last of all it's 'Illusion' that layers up some squealing lead and oversized percussion with drunken rhythms making this one a real floor filler.

Review: Call Super has always been something of an underground darling - one of those untouchable artists with next level skills in the club, and a unique studio sound that excites even the most hardened and passionate fan. 'Eulo Cramps' is the artist's fourth album and one from the centre of a multifaceted project they call 'Tell Me I Didn't Choose This' which includes poetry, auto-biographical writing, painting and music. It is full of personal reflections and his signature melding of jazz, electronica and the unique voices of Julia Holter and Eden Samara. Though adventurous and experimental, it is an album steeped in very real emotion which we can all connect to.

Review: Mall Grabs Steel City Dance Discs (named in reference to the industrial port near where he grew up back in Aus) enlists Clouds for another potent party EP. 'Positive Delusion' is slamming techno with a raw edge, but what makes it an immediate hit is the pitch-up vocal sample that brings the fun. 'Get With It is a drunken, unbalanced techno clanger full of wildness and 'Rhythm Perfection' then brings some trance elements to the hard tendon drums. 'Vyperskin' and 'Dreamarena' are two more characterful and supersized techno sounds.

Review: Originally released in 1998 on Tokyo's short-lived Metro Juice Records, this deep techno EP by Sohei Nagasawa, also known as Cocoo, quickly became a cult favourite. Known for its stripped-back, percussive and earthy sound, this remains Nagasawa's sole release, making it a sought-after gem among deep techno heads. This reissue includes two new remixes which breathe fresh life into the timeless tracks while preserving the minimalist essence that made the original so captivating. The EP's rarity and distinct style mean it is going to fly off the shelves as quickly now as it did back then.

Review: In the Strugatsky brothers' Roadside Picnic - and its ensuing film adaptation by Andrei Tarkovsky, Stalker - "the Zone" is a forbidden area lying somewhere in a post-apocalyptic, post-Soviet wilderness, in which manifold unspeakable evils and anomalies lurk, in wait of those bold enough to brave them by riskily attempting to reach the wish-granting, power-bestowing oracle at its heart. Producer CT Kidobo channels the noxiously wish-fulfilling, but also toxic gases and atmospheres native to the Strugatskys' Zone, via four waste-scouring 4x4 electro heaters, described by the Neuma label as channelling 'highly emotional content'. A chillingly formative journey is conveyed through the opening 'The Last Run', the sticky, hands-dirty drama of 'Into The Zone' and the half-lived bonus beats of 'Just Use Your Imagination'.

Cat: True Three. Rel: 04 Jul 24
Review: Dawn of the Underworld's Bleep Chronicles: Cause N Effect on True Confession label is a nostalgic journey into retro UK techno from the 1990-92 era. This EP is a refreshing homage to the classic UK sound, capturing the essence of the period with remarkable authenticity. Side-1 opens with 'The Anniss Effect' (Reincarnation mix), a track that channels the retro UK bleep sound reminiscent of LFO and early Warp records. It's a deep dive into the past, bringing those iconic sounds back to life. 'Warped Sequences' follows, delivering an exciting tribute to classic UK techno with a bassline, breakbeat, bleep sounds and a futuristic melody, even incorporating a bit of ragga for a unique twist. Side-2 features Arena,' and its Spartan mix, a playful remix packed with classic samples that make for a fun and engaging track. The EP closes with 'The Anniss Effect' (92 Revived original mix), which further cements its early 90s roots, offering more of those beloved, vintage sounds. Bleep Chronicles: Cause N Effect is a stunning trip for fans of the classic UK techno era, masterfully bringing the past into the present.

Review: Planet Rhythm help lay down 'Catalyst', the latest from producer DBFB. Four ineffable techno cuts are heard in quick synchrony, be they the title track or, yes, 'Ineffable' on the A - both evincing that mercilessly uniform feel of ultra-mechanised, ultra-fantastical, ultra-formal techno - or 'Penumbra' and 'Luminescence' on the B, which open up the floodgates ever so slightly to reveal just a hint of ricocheting light.

Review: Decka and Roseen’s Imaginary Places Remixed offers a worthy collection of techno remixes that will resonate with any fan of the genre. Side-1 kicks off with the Don Williams remix of 'Frameworks' (Part 1 & 2). This track blends catchy minimalism with a harder, more intense edge, making it an ideal opener. Following it, 'Extract 2021-02' lays down tribal grooves that are both intricate and primal, pulling listeners into a rhythmic trance. On Side-2, the DisX3 remix of 'Boiling Point' delivers a punch with its hard percussive chords and driving, hypnotic rhythm that doesn’t let up. Border One’s remix of 'Constant Gravitation' closes the record with a sci-fi-inspired soundscape, creating a sense of otherworldly tension and movement. Each track on this release is finely tuned to keep energy levels high and the dancefloor moving.

No Clue EP (12")
Cat: XHIVE 013. Rel: 25 Jul 24
Review: The Stay Up Forever label hits release number 13 but there isn't a bit of bad luck in sight - instead, this is a potent EP of eyes-wide techno from Sam DFL who links up with a quartet of different collaborators and aims, it seems, simply to blow your brains. These jams are laden with hard techno tropes and distorted, fuzzy bass as well as video game signifiers, trance-techno pads and bright, visceral, vibrant melodies. Hammer Mode & Sam DFL's 'Bad Time 4 Acid' is a particular standout here for its high speed and compelling acid grooves.

Review: Dojo Zone's Smoke & Shadows, released on Cabaret U presents a compelling exploration of moody and futuristic techno. The EP opens with the title track, 'Smoke & Shadows,' a dark and gripping groove that pulls the listener into a shadowy world. The track's eerie atmosphere, punctuated by a deep, resonant bassline, recalls the brooding style of artists like Recondite, making it both addictive and powerful. Following up on Side 1, 'Lights Out' ventures into high-tech territory, offering a forward-thinking sound that feels both sleek and cutting-edge. It's a futuristic masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of techno with its intricate production. Side-2 begins with 'Slow Release,' where Dojo Zone delves into otherworldly sounds, crafting a track that feels like a journey through uncharted sonic landscapes. Finally, the 'Sobre Tierra' (Osaka mix) closes the EP with a groovy twist, incorporating subtle house elements that add a fresh layer of rhythm and movement.

Review: Wolfgang Voigt's groundbreaking project Gas returns with a definitive reissue of its self-titled debut album, originally released in 1996 on Mille Plateaux and now reintroduced by Kompakt on CD format. This release marks a long-awaited return to the foundational essence of Gas, as initially envisioned by Voigt. Gas unfolds across six expansive, untitled tracks that drift seamlessly, each a captivating journey of ethereal loops and rhythmic undercurrents. Distant echoes of classical motifs add to the album's enigmatic allure. This debut stands out for its airy, evocative atmosphere and its exploratory nature. Gas not only revisits a pivotal moment in electronic music history but also underscores Voigt's enduring influence and avant-garde spirit, setting the stage for the techno and ambient genres to unfold from his influence. There is quite nothing like the first four Gas albums.

Review: Proper impressively synaptic dub techno from The Hague, by virtue of producer Havantepe. Eschewing the tired old trope of smoke-blowing biographical information in favour of a cyberpunk short story, this artist-adept evidently knows how to construct a vision both in sound and theme. From the back-to-back offs of 'Strong Force' and 'Muon', we're met with twin fidgeting visions in minimal techno and cleanly ballistic dub, neither of which betray a hesitancy to pack much effect modulation nor contrast between elements into the mix. The EP's appended fantasy of hoverbikes and antigravity weapons only adds to the sense of bleak, silica-veined determination, as we move into the shufflier undersides constituted by 'Zero-G' and Basicnoise's remix of 'Strong Force', both of which provide glimpses into the underbelly of Havantepe's singularity-razed underworld.

Review: Hiro Kone says this new album "considers the power of absence as neither a lack or deficit, but as a quiet, indeterminable force to cultivate in this time of looming and unrelenting techno-fascism". Musically it is dark and rugged, with unsettling atmospheres and lumpy drums blurring the lines between ambient and deep techno. Plenty of the tracks have industrial overtones and make it feel like you're in some sort of factory in a state of post-production decay, which makes it all the more cinematic and absorbing. In these times of social and po-litical turmoil, it is a nice place to get lost.

The Inheritors (gatefold 3xLP + MP3 download code)
Cat: 40B CLP. Rel: 28 Jun 13
Review: It's been seven years since Holden's debut album The Idiots Are Winning was released on his own Border Community imprint, and in that time new material has been scarce to say the least. Thankfully, The Inheritors was well worth the wait; produced with a combination of Holden's extensive analogue modular system and his own self-coded software, the album takes in influences as wide as The KLF, Elgar, ceilidh music, pentatonic folk scales and ancient pagan rituals, with each track recorded in one take with no overdubs. Border Community cohort Luke Abbott's Holkham Drones album would be the closest comparison, but even that superb record doesn't come close to the sprawling marvel that is The Inheritors, with highlights like the jazz sax of "The Caterpillar's Intervention" and twisting analogue techno of "Gone Feral" coming thick and fast.

Review: Super Rhythm Trax is celebrating ten years in operation in 2024. The acid music focused label has been renowned for the excellent music they have put out. Hannah Holland's Satisfy EP is their latest and now their 41st release in total. Hannah has got really good at making people dance thanks to being Adonis's resident DJ and she shows on this record that she can also produce very well too. All four of these tracks exude strong Chicago 80s classic acid sounds. Dark, driving, percussion heavy acid stompers. The first track is uncompromised by overproduction while instead, favors a rawer machine sequence. Label head Jerome Hill's remix of 'She's Giving Cray' is a great alternate version, 'Satisfy' is an outstanding track that deserves top billing for this EP with a unique piano hook. Not to be outdone, 'Roller' does what the name suggests. An excellent B-side. An acid influenced house record that perfectly bridges an old skool vibe while bringing a new direction to the sound. We can see why this got the Super Rhythm Trax stamp of approval! Only 100 copies, so act quick.

Master Builder (reissue) (heavyweight vinyl 12")
Cat: TRESOR 32. Rel: 10 Apr 19
Review: The unstoppable techno juggernaut himself, Robert Hood is back on Tresor with some of that minimal machine music he basically defined back in the 90s. "Master Builder" is a masterclass in proper minimal techno, using a thrifty set of tools to make for utterly immersive, time-slipping techno. The subtly shifted "Sandman Option" mix of the track moves the position of the looping bleeps to create a different groove around the steadfast kick - juggling the two could be a lot of fun for creative DJs. Providing a different flavour on the flip, "Quartz" brings some bolder synth strokes into the mix, winding up with the quintessential Detroit track.

Review: French duo Human Rebellion mark their debut record on Alienata 's Discos Atonicos label with 'Polymorph', a four-track killer of an EP on which no hands are held nor holds barred. Here, a bluely glowing biomechanical fusion of techno, acid electro and breaks is yielded in a kind of vital suspensory vat. Human Rebellion are unconcerned with sonic purity, to the extent that much grit, scum and texture still redounds in each mix. The techno-angelic anthropo-throne depicted on the front cover is no less responsible for this line of thinking either. The powerful influence of early 90s electro-techno is heard throughout; and here's hoping that after we've listened to the record, the CRISPR-modded, posthuman abomina-prototype born of it doesn't kill us all.A

Los Cuatro Elementos EP (12")
Cat: TRI 001. Rel: 25 Jan 24
Review: The Rose Island blooms into life for the first time with a strong first release that features four different artists taking one tune each on this 12". Judy's 'Aqua' is a mind melting loop techno cut that rocks back and forth on its heels and will have you frothing at the mouth. Symbiosis's 'Terra' is dry, economical loop techno made from few elements but each one makes its mark as this loose jumble of rhythm and sound grows in intensity. Alexandre Laeddis's 'Ignis' ups the ante with the sort of oversized drums and front loaded hi-hats that wash over you like a tsunami and last of all R 010 brings some high speed industrial tech house with throwback synth leads and funk in the drums.

Review: Montreal alias and label Jump Source offer up their fifth future-facing dance cut, 'JS05', to the world. Though not a motif of theirs until now, the artist describes this latest iteration of their sound as "restoring balance", as 'Balance' would at least seem to suggest with its two-phrase phrenodies, tweezy topsynths and four-note bouncy-ball-basses. The ensuing 'Tonearm Extender' and 'Sad Salad' continue to squeeze out Jump Source's impressively superdistinct sound; we can imagine them as born of a future universe in which prosthetic limbs might double up as tonearms (among other gadgets, as of a cyborgish Swiss army knife) and salads are not consumed in leafy green, but rather pill form, hence the sadness. Sadly, this isn't COVID-19 nor pill-food; on 'JS05' there's no loss of taste. In fact, it's a wonderfully whimsical release, a gleeful future vision.

Review: Speciale 02 on Orion Italy is a collaboration between Ben Kaczor and Orion that brings together a remarkable mix of spacey, otherworldly techno sounds. Side-1 opens with Ben Kaczor's 'Gambler,' a lower BPM track that offers a refreshing change of pace for techno enthusiasts. The chill sounds and beautiful melodies woven into the composition create a soothing yet engaging atmosphere, making it a standout for those who appreciate a more relaxed vibe within the genre. Orion's 'Technocut009' follows, merging melodic techno with elements of IDM and a house-inspired bassline. This unique combination results in a track that feels both experimental and accessible, pushing the boundaries of traditional techno while maintaining a good groove. Flipping to Side-2, Orion continues to impress with 'NR2X,' an uptempo track that blends an analog groove with moody, trance-like elements. Its driving rhythm and atmospheric layers are great for deeper listening. Ben Kaczor closes the EP with 'Murano,' a track that leans into the more classic techno sound while still offering his signature touch. Overall, Speciale 02 delivers a diverse and intriguing journey through modern techno.

Review: As of now, Kiasmos - the duo of Olafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen - are superstars on the international progressive electronica circuit. It crept up on us that they've only released one other album to date, with the bulk of their output having been limited so far to EPs and singles. II is the follow-up to its apt nominal counterpart, Kiasmos (I), and yet this time hears the pair strike out against the stark piano and electropop influences for which they were initially celebrated. Another key difference is that while the first Kiasmos record was made in the space of two weeks - getting at the sense of effortlessness that might accompany the initial burst of inspiration felt by artists when they start a new alias - II was made over the course of ten years and charts a remarkably different approach to music production.

Review: Kiasmos, the dynamic duo of olafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen, returns with their long-awaited second album, II. This vinyl is a celebration of their evolution over a decade since their self-titled debut in 2014. Known for blending minimal techno with orchestral flourishes, Kiasmos has refined their sound, adding richer textures and a sense of place and space. II opens with Grown, setting a delicate atmospheric tone that showcases their matured sound design. Tracks like 'Dazed' highlight their innovative use of traditional Balinese percussion and field recordings, creating immersive auditory landscapes. The album seamlessly transitions from electronic to classical and rave, maintaining their signature style of whisper-quiet ambience evolving into explosive dance beats. Songs like 'Sailed' and 'Laced' exemplify their knack for blending intricate percussion with organic synths, resulting in tracks that are both effervescent and serene. olafur's cinematic influence and Janus's DJ experience shine through, pushing the boundaries of genre with frenetic broken beats and catchier melodies. The grand strings recorded with SinfoniaNord add a majestic layer to the complexities, making II a truly expansive work.

Review: Two of Andre Kronert's "most wanted" tunes come repackaged in the form of 'The Architect', out via Odd Even; but unlike most renegades and outlaws with prices on their heads, you can expect to pay only a reasonable sum for this new record. Long having floated about the many various club spaces of present day distinction in demo form, now the breathy, oesophageal number known as 'The Architect' surfaces on 12"; the track brings an engineers' touch to an otherwise sparse palette, with rumbly movements backed up by supporting sonic cantilevers and trusses. If only we'd been privy to the blueprints and mockup sketches on the drafting bench for this one; though B-sider 'Propaganda' sadly waves goodbye the prestigious design position for a professional branch-swing into politics; with its demure percs and midrange synth waves, we're evidently in for a sinister brainwashing.
