aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

returning to the plus 8 fold once more, paco osuna is one of spains finest electronic exports. having made a name for himself with a residency at amnesia over a decade ago, he hass since gone on to play places like watergate, fabric and movement festival, all the while holding down a residency for barcelonas club4 night at city hall. his experience in the studio goes way back, too, with releases on drumcode and minus as well as mindshake - the techno imprint he founded in 2005. the osuna sound has never strayed too far from the pulsing heart of the dancefloor - despite investigating everything from dark and fierce to stripped and raw techno - and thats the case once again on his four ep …

here comes the eighth release in the line, pressure cooked by christian wunsch. three slices of fine modern techno, but with strong roots on tradition. buried mistakes opens fire with clean drum programming and punchy beats. spacey arpeggios and subtle drones are the makings of this movie. on the flip side, complete surrender uses similar rhythm coordinates, clean percussion sounds programmed with extreme taste, constantly evolving until the strings come in, creating a sci-fi futuristic mood, perfect for techno travellers. inevitable war is the last piece slower tempo, intelligent drone work out, dark atmospheres lying on a single kick, growing to make a complex beat as the minutes go on. they call it deep techno out there. a departure from the hard edged sounds on behalf of a mental way of understanding techno.

label owner, ryuji takeuchi, is on duty to drop another bomb for the 2nd release on his own local sound network (lsn) label. while the 1st release, final weapon ep, is still hot, ryuji really shows his definition of techno with his unique style, which can be well described by these 2 words: tense and relax. on the a side,heart beats solid kicks you in the head with its dark, evil and brutal elements. audio injection, l.a. based techno producer, adds another essence of darkness and deepness to it and gets your heart beaten even more straight. on the b side,heart beats tight represents more straight and hypnotic side of techno. bosnian all time favorite, mikatek aka dj mika, gives some funk and space to it and keeps your heart beaten tighter. anyone could hardly stop its heart beaten with this ep, and thats what this ep stands for. make sure to keep your mind open for the upcoming releases on this local sound network imprint.

pattern select aka milton jackson and show-b have gone well and truly back to the raw on this, their first collaborative work together and debut ep for delusions of grandeur. both producers have been busy on some top quality projects just recently with milton jackson remixing recloose for planet e and show b producing for robert owens on compost. the pair met at a party in munich, promptly fell in love, and soon enough pattern select was born. kicking off tale of the tape sees the pair go deep n dark on this low-slung groove where demonic laughter rides the driving hats and insesant crashes until the filtering arpeggiated synth line joins the fun. tale of the dub gives us a stripped back, dub-infused version which goes a little lighter on the craziness of the first version but without losing any of the deep, hypnotic funk.

a true showcase of vesicles creativity, versatility and dark bassline science, the we are lost ep contains 4 deep and dark dubstep excursions and makes a strong case for this finnish duos inclusion among the genres best and brightest of the new generation of sound visionaries. the title track we are lost is a beautiful, dark anthem combining haunting vocals with live guitars, intricate melodies, precision drum programming and fat slabs of bass. the result is a well-rounded, catchy and melancholic masterpiece. smoke curls switches up the program, engulfing the listener in deliberately lo-fi sound fx and percussion whilst conjuring up deeply emotional, melodic bliss by juxtaposing a dusty piano with a soaring, distorted, filtered leadline of 8-bit chiptune charme. destined to become a dark breakstep anthem,mythos harks back to the late 90s metalheadz sound with its epic synthlines, eery vocals and massive, growling reece bass constructions. redemption completes this vicious circle with a journey to the depths of darkness, attesting to vesicles true mastery of uniquely filthy bassline construction on this stripped-down vision of despair. to ensure that this ep looks as mindblowingly sick as it sounds, the vinyl release features stunning, limited-edition full sleeve artwork!
