last trasmissions from solaris was inspired by the stanislav lems novel solaris, a journey into techno-soul emissions explored by the talent of passenger. it combines a subdole sci-fi atmosphere with solid techno approach and scientific electro incarnation. here you can find a direction if your soul needs an utopian vision of the future. the closest thing to detroit we have been able to produce over the years.

the next release on paul rip s specimen records is by god of the machine, the brainchild of deep house and techno maestro, derrick thompson a.k.a. drivetrain. the ep kicks of with the original, a powerful slice of jackin tribal techno, its bleeps, tones and chants sitting atop a tight percussive groove that s infectious from the first beat to the last drop. next up comes hijacker s electro workout. its beats are old school yet the attitude is set firmly in the future with its square wave bass line, trippy noises and swooping scikfi pads. santonio echols takes it back to detroit with a simple yet driving tech house rendition containing sublime melodic chords, eerie pads and a hypnotic pad stab that sends tingles up your spine. mr.c finishes with one of his typically infectious acid workouts, where he adds a cheeky bassline, haunting pads and cowbell pings to blend and morph into the twisted effects of a psychoactive substance.

shortly after his first ep on dnuos ytivil, sub-division of bristol imprint livity sound, simo cell, neo-parisian and nantes native, puts his second release out on fragil musique. on this one, the young producer asserts his bass-tainted electro influences. highly skilled and very technical dj, but above all open to bridges between genres and eras, the record feels like he conceived it for his own club usage. on the a side, two subtle twin tracks, -reading rashid- and -soko ban-. cycling melodies and hypnotic pads sketch two bass outlines, as simple as effective, that seem perfectly fit for switching from a stripped down techno track to an old jungle weapon. on the flip, hit track -meteor racer- is surprising. a rawer and more stripped down electro piece that lifts the veil a bit more on the young producers talent. those four brilliantly crafted track definitely place simo cell among the french newcomers to watch closely.

after their contribution to far & beyond compilation, owen jay & melchior sultana get back to deep explorer finally with a full ep, where they combine different styles in just 4 tracks. deep instrumental, vocals and even electro vibes.everything under the smooth shield of the batti batti team. the circle is completed by the remix of make me feel (the track that opened the doors of deep explorer to the batti batti family) by the legendary mike grant (moods & grooves)

a new four track ep by hexagon aka conforce on his own imprint. doing what he does best. making deep imaginary techno music with otherworldly authentic atmospheres without any concessions. the title track sucks you into desolate interstellar territories paying hommage to 606 rhythms with emotive strings on top that determine the total atmosphere of this killer advanced electro cut. human meets machine in it s purest form. pitch black leans on accurate programmed heavy broken percussive patterns and is the most functional track of the ep. functional but it s haunting atmosphere lifts this to a different dimension. continuum dives deeper into sonic territory with a mysterious stealth missional vibe caused by it s unpredictable sparkling crispy effects and mysterious pads. systematic repetition leans on pulsating modular bleeps and dubby basses and is the most techno orientated cut of the whole ep. it wouldn t be a conforce record if there weren t any strings and pads attached to it.

50weapons 41 ist die nummer zwei im grand finale des labels. kaum ist die nadel aufgesetzt, findet sich hier ein killer-paar von tracks, die auf nicht weniger abzielen, als den dancefloor komplett zu zerstören. mit tw33tz feiert phon.o den breiten katalog des labels von droniger darkness bis zu verschwitzter 10 uhr morgens euphorie. eine ganze spur darker als -tw33tz-, gießt paula temples superwaffe oscillate das destillat von techno in einen track mit einer kickdrum, die so staubtrocken komprimiert ist wie astronauten eis. eingebettet in einen magengruben subbass schält sich eine electro acid line in die gehörgänge und setzt sich im motorischen kortex fest.
