the fat dog label returns for its second outing with yet another confident four tracker designed for both the head and the feet. the proceedings begin with the sublime moonrunners. introducing contributions from new artist spooner, the production duo use their hardware to take us to the very craters with this bubbler of emotive deep techno with dissonant house touches, d link (fat dog & ny*ak) continues the basement feeling with urnogud4me, albeit at a slower tempo but still keeps the floor burning with an unsuspecting, intense voodoo-house mystery. this is raw club music. side b we head straight onto a greasy dance floor called werk. lush pads intermingle with breathy flute stabs while the building groove consistently nags attention from your feet. stop teases us back onto the slo-mo dance floor yet again with another scorching deep house groove for the hips with a subtle funk to be desired at the disco as well as the deep room. limited copies!

klamauk 005 various artists release is coming with tracks from roman rauch in collaboration with his mate philta, spontanmusik head keinzweiter, tom ellis and florence based the clover. roman rauch, well known for his releases on philpot, tenderpark or quintessentials brings us with >gino< a slow and deep housebanger with a smooth bassline that unfolds into some vibes and funky monosynth jamming for a simultaneously laid back and upbeat experience. keinzweiter – >the stomp< is a laid back discoslammer, getting richer in sound untill the break where the strings come all down and make the track to a little symphony. tom ellis created with >got your back< a big groovemonster, wobbling in deep territories and shuffled percussions. closing it out, we have the clover with their track >whitening the cell<. a live played bassline, setting the stage for some expansive background synth work in the second half with some cutted microhouse elements. limited and numbered vinyls.

after appearances on idle hands and brstl, rhythmic theory returns to their own imprint to further explore gritty textures and mysterious moods within house and techno frameworks. where theory001 featured the somewhat soothing, melancholic tones of >echo vibe< and >omega syndrome<, this second installment comes caked in sonic muck and abrasive attitude.its not all dark and foreboding, as the graceful filter-swept key refrain of >siren song< will attest, but it takes a barrage of rasping hats and bludgeoning kicks and toms before such niceties can be foisted upon our ears. while there is an optimistic lilt to the particular notes the melody calls out, in the midst of such machismo percussion it cant help but feel emotionally ambiguous, continuing the tone set out in the first rhythmic theory releases.there is no such confusion over b side cut >genesis< from the apocalyptic boom of the opening kick to the rapid gun fire of the snare this is a track that wants to inflict damage. at the midway point the searing beat melts away as a wash of delay-riddled speech knocks you from your centre of gravity, only for the drums to come whipping back in to pick up the slack. even the sole synth note that rears its head is devoid of compassion, pulsing a creepy, robotic intonation through the clamour.

ovatow drops 3 extremely deep journeys into the fog of endless re-verb and delay applications.flame and a thought are 2 electro-techno tracks that are both build on randomly step-sequenced square bass lines, raiser sharp snares and dubbed out melodies drowned in layers of breathing dusty tape delays. visitation dub iii is a different version of an ovatow track, earlier released as part of the viewpoints chapter one compilation, but this time stripped down to the core bass line, reminiscing bcs presence. the release is dedicated to the loss of south rotterdam based dj juvenile jay who played an important roll in the early dj career of frustrated funks head honcho klen, the man behind the ovatow moniker. very much recommended!

reacquainted with his soul after the galactic battle with the gatekeeper of hades, edmx and his craft bulb into view from hyperdrive. emerging from an imperfect stasis, the pilot lay slumped over the controls of his ship. beneath the glaze of his vizor his eyes looked milky white, opaque cataracts had almost sealed them. the craft was being pulled slowly toward sigma orionis on invisible magnetic currents. flurries of dust danced around the pilots window like fireflies. in the far distance the horse head nebulae dwarfs the tiny craft with its mountainous cosmic majesty.
