after >make tomorrow< (sect05) by grovskopa its now time for some heavyweight remix-action, delivered by saga, jr seaton, delta funktionen and skallander.

winter here and cold sounds also, this time warm up engine s drivers are grovskopa and agony forces, joined in remix duties by label s boss oscar mulero. grovskopa ignites the flame on b side with jauhar, and industrialized piece of dark techno with an analogue bassline as a starring ,resting on top of an abstract and metallic beat, salted with hypnotic vocal samples and atmospheres. a peak time weapon for the hard ones. closing b side oramics by agony forces investigate in the same field, nearly industrial beats, crunchy and dark, sinewave sequences, fat bassdrums and again an hypnotic and lisergic feel. as the the track goes on, pads and synth atmos do the job adding a mellow edge to the dark side. alone on a side, oscar mulero s rework of jauhar is pure floor action, substracting atmospheres and focusing on rythms and beats. giving a straight ahead approach to the original. electronic body music for the 21st century.

with recent releases on emergence and token, grovskopa debuts for labrynth and hits the floor hard with treacher collins . re-processed percussion and rolling low end seem to cause sensory overload at every turn. the perfect floor tool. aa/ balamber sees grovskopa maintain the industrial focus, but heads further into darkness and despair. driving forwards relentlessly, a rolling sea of bass and mechanical abrasive tones force us to move and dance! b/ trademark michaelangelo sounds here on the 4/4, reminiscent of some of the mid 90 s synewave recs releases. sirius carves into an immense sonic landscape. chaotic and crackling high frequencies modulate and break up over our heads, while monotone subs meander and bounce with the kick. big room techno. big sound. quality. bb/ massive offbeat techno from telesthesia, a collaboration between michaelangelo & coefficient. complex rhythms continually weave throughout the track. the journey deconstructs and falls into darkness, re-emerging again into precision synths and digital modulations

once again another masterpiece from the dynamic reflection squad in your face! this time its from the uk monster voidloss. the title track acteon is already an oldy and paul felt in love with it a long time ago. it was already digital released in 2007, but we asked voidloss if he wanted to see this on pure gold as well... and of course he wanted that! so why dont we put up an whole ep with more dancefloor killers of this man? grovskopa is always capable of delivering good remixes and so he did. this time something a little bit different then what you expect, but with this track he shows us what an open mind he has on techno. rolling crunchy basslines and smooth pads bring this track in a perfect vibe to set the tone for the night. moment of total emptiness is a more deeper and hypnotic tune, but will definitely bang your head on the dancefloor. mr. a. paul is going for the rework and came up with a really great uplifting and oldschool touch. perfect tool to use in your dj sets! all n all a superior release by this uk studio wizard. lets pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come.. dynamic reflection will represent only the true spirit of pure techno, they will put only the quality stuff back on the dancefloor!

arrestar, hailing from brussels, is the second belgian artist releasing on token. he sent me this killer idm/techno track some time ago and it was immediately a favourite of mine. i fell in love with it the moment i heard it. in the end, it just needed a release. im not the only supporter of this track: inigo kennedy, oscar mulero & grovskopa love it too, so they decided to contribute with each another interpretation of the track, which in the end results in a diverse package.

the debut >metalinvader< ep brings together contributions from big techno players grovskopa, troika, luka baumann & radial. four intense interpretations of the aftertaste sound, all of which will slam in the right club
