senate are back on pacific command at last! following up their humungous debut from last year this time they’re ploughing the staggered and steppin’ bass-led uk techno vibes with some seriously raw and grimey drums. some proper electro and mad breaks aplenty too. absolute chaos, get it!

1800haightstreet stacking up some serious mountainous techno heat from the depths of vancouver. an insect army marching upon the world, with no hope and only apocalyptic horns and terror-inducing drones emanating from the heavens.

having opened up 2015 with his thumping debut *momentary archive* on lobster theremin, sean dodd aka reflec turns out more rhythmic, melodic rollers for war-torn techno imprint pacific command. exploring darker and deeper shades of techno since his last 12 inch, dodd instills his productions with a breakneck velocity, a runaway mentality that threads its way through all three tracks on the ep.

having turned out two hazy, driving eps of muffled techno for lobster theremin sublabel mörk, nthng arrives on pacific command for a rare two track exploration of gritty dutch rave and rolling trance-y techno.
on *are you here*, nthng takes an up-tempo bucket-booted drum shuffle and steadily filters its way into a skittering hat furore, all coated with epic pads and a demi-hoover rave stab. full fire-alarm business.
on the flip, there is serious influence from early trance and techno with the warehouse-crushing *in the afterglow*. constructed on the back of an early 90s hard house-esque alien synth patterns and rolling wildly into the deepest depths of the forest rave, until the long-awaited sunlight pads come bursting through the leaves.
