nick lapien is back on bliq under his metropolis incarnation, with “solitude” is the latest effort by the berlin based producer. the title track yields a spiralling locked groove that’s complemented with moist vocoder lines in tandem with dreamy synth riffs, its refined remix version delivered by delsin’s d5 (formerly known as dimension 5).
the b side kicks in with the proto-kraut and catchy number that’s meant to heat up dancefloors “identify” while b2’s “the other life” delves into similar territory with a warm electro touch.

‘escape from reality’ as first track, goes down as a bleeping submarine, deep diving into underwater caves where a slow and hypnotic rhythm reverberates through ears and mind. second cut ‘alchemy’ continues the interdimensional explorations, and after long intro, it gradually detaches from the surface reaching a leaden sky. drums and claps alternates on a soundscape of constant roars, holding the track in a steady mesmerizing jingle. the b-side opens with ‘found myself’, edgy broken beat with a stronger and more club-oriented dynamism which finds its best shot in the last cut ‘chain reaction’. a ravishing synthline drives through tribalesque drums, snares and thunderclaps to close the record with a mystic vibe....

taking chris munoz s (aka the sexicans) take on sometimes from the forthcoming spike remix lp orange cloud version as its starting point, golf channel favourite justin van der volgen shunts this bad boy that little bit further through the doors of the club, puts something on its tongue and kicks it into the big room.beefy drums, a stoopid fresh bass line, big vocals and a tough, explosive, rocky guitar riff ensure this one has anthem written all over it.flip over for 4 more unheard spike gems, little lost nuggets that didn t find their way on to the much loved lp orange cloud nine but need to be heard: you can do it is much in demand already amongst those that know, and the closing cut careful is a fragile beauty.

a year after his last outing on the label, gunnar haslam is back on delsin with four more tracks of idiosyncratic techno. opening up this ep with the title track, haslam cooks up a spangled brew of erratic synths and spinning hi hats and ties them together with a heavy rubber kick drum. followed by sarsi which is then completely different, its a beatless and emotionally forlorn cut that still manages to take you somewhere special. deep dancefloor business taking over on the b-side. scurrying alien sounds closed by a frenzied techno trip. each track here is different from the last, and each track here is a refreshing proposition from one of the most interesting guys around.

nandu lands on off recordings with a spellbinding three-track debut. walk opens proceedings, merging a chugging low end with forlorn vocals, claves and clangs, setting a dark and trippy atmosphere. label head andre crom reworks the addictive original, twisting it into a swirling trip of layered synths and subtle, shuffling hi-hats. the exotic entitled limon sits somewhere in between. its off-the-wall drum programming and moody, arpeggiated synth line gives this one a late night feel that is sure to blow the roof off of any dance floor.

le tchadien, originally released in 2008 on mr raoul ks critically acclaimed 12inch himalaya, gets the doublek (mr raoul k & kaito) treatment. while the original track was a rather short and lush piece of afro-funk fuelled house, the reprise explores some whole new territories. soon after the relaxing intro the track takes a sharp turn that leads listeners and dancers into foggy darkness. but instead losing itself and all hope, doublek show that there is light and hope even behind the darkest shadows. its all about keeping your composure and keeping your head up. as a special gift for the creative djs out there, the flipside contains a beatless reprise, ready to be blended with your favorite beats. enjoy your vinyl.

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.

the energy and versatility were used to when reinier zonneveld takes the decks is immediately evident in his latest ep. opening preceedings with sharp bust, a straight and to the point trancy bassline leads the way. decked by mechanic stabs and hi-hats, the groove is simply hypnotic and relentless. rushchamber, on the other hand, bears a subversive groove, with a minimal and dark bassline. glitchy cut up vocals give an eerie feel, as the whole atmosphere becomes more and more immersive by the way of multi-layered drums. the final offering, flatchat is anything but flat. its intricate groove shares the dark and immersive territory of the previous track, while another set of cut up vocals draw instant attention. a descending lead padded with reverb and stabby synths, the last track rounds up the release, ending on a grave and intense note.

its not often you hear a techno record produced by a total of five people. when it happens, it’s usually to mark a passage and make a statement. sometimes it is a matter of celebrating a rita of passage, a shift into maturity and the embodiment of a new skin. this is what repitch is doing with the fourth and final installment in their “features” series, reuniting all the crew for the the final blast of what’s been a long and massive barrage of heavy techno. this is the collaboration to end them all: repitch founders ascion, d. carbone and shapenoise have shared the studio with longtime allies and. together, they explore a common ground made of pounding metallic percussions, gutwrenching bass and thick, furious grooves, with each producer bringing his own peculiar contributions to the table. this last installment marks the end of a process that accompanied repitch throughout its whole existence, thus enhancing the beginning of a new chapter in the label’s creative output.

next on raw tools is irish producer and label owner, costelloe, delivering two tracks much in the manner of his previous works, both of them at the fine line between techno and house music.

for finitude music s 5th release, label owner marcel heese and alexander kowalski aka d_func. share their visions on thought control. both tracks on the ep harbour the same intent, but each of them approaches it in a different way. d_func. s take revolves around sahko-like bleeps, if you are into early mika vainio or sleeparchive, look no further! but instead of being loopy, it s definitely a builder. its original trance track-like structure is sure to rock many an underground dancefloor. marcel s vision is slower and less straight-forward but creates and maintains a high tension. based on dense a bassline and intricate soundscapes, it builds up slowly, only to explode halfway through. an extra payoff also comes at the very end of a track, its noise/ambient outro making a perfect way to wrap up an amazing party at 8am somewhere deep in the heart of berlin.

after some time of successful clubnights sd is moving to the next level and takes the first step of journey to bring to surface music and share its sound. the sd label is now a reality. for the first release unc is taking the lead as original mix. it is a 2-track ep, consisting of the original by unc and a remix by sleeparchive. 43v3r. if we were to choose a color it would be black with bits and pieces of gold. yet, uplifting, the kind of thing you need to stimulate body and mind, wake up the senses, the desire to cherish the moment and surrender to the sound. sleeparchive s interpretation comes to enhance the beat leaving his personal stigma in a delicate manner
