following critically acclaimed releases from eduardo de la calle, refracted, and monomood, connwax returns with another exceptional offering of bold and original techno. for this release, they have enlisted the help of a rising young talent in berlins underground scene: akme. the producer and resident dj of renowned club, about blank demonstrates his uncommon technical precision and emotional depth with this debut ep, drawing on his vast array of influences and experiences across all genres. in elements, the bass drum takes centre stage. the engine room relentlessly driving everything forward. yet as the track develops, a fine lattice work of detail starts to unfold. meticulous percussive elements imbue the piece with an enigmatic depth as a sombre melody sweeps through the rough rhythmic landscape. we are allowed a brief moment to reflect before the bass drum continues its inexorable path forward. akme takes a more reduced approach in black matter space is left for the interplay between the understated acid bassline and delicate hi-hats to lock the track into a hypnotic groove. here, the statement is defined by what is left unsaid. for the final track concealing, ak

next amazing thoughtless moover by stare5 aka bryan zentz with a huge remix of noah pred. known for his distinctive productions over the years as barada, cyan and under his own name on seminal techno labels such as primate, tronic, jericho, plus 8 and cmyk, bryan zentz reprises his stare5 role for thoughtless with three tracks of dub-fueled deepness. pushing ever outward on tides of subsonic bass, >the sprawl< emerges from cover of night, a vast expanse of sleepless chords illuminating the darkness as ripples of reverberant effects reach toward the stars. label boss noah pred adds another layer to the low end to imbue his remix with a swinging pulse, then intensifies the hypnosis with a sinuous synth that snakes its way through a winding labyrinth built from the materials of the original. >frozen fog< opens with cold yet insistent stabs that keep pace atop a bouncing dub bass line, responsive chords building pressure amidst gradually rising vapors. with equal nods to detroit and berlin, bryan zentz successfully presents his own unique vision of a classic form with >the sprawl< - solidifying his reputation as a master of the style in the process.
