london modular alliance presents gently techno vibes with acid flavoured electro stuff

a new project from two anonymous aussie veterans. melbournes smouldering underground turns up two untitled cuts from bad channel, named for the faulty mixing console they were produced on, with a cheeky nod to mark and moritz. organic late night tracks, soulful and dub wise. they passed bradley zeros litmus test, so now they come to you cut deep on rhythm sections twilight sister imprint international black. the a-side keeps it spacious, a relentless stepper for the early hours. side b is music for autobahns, starlight soul for the post-club cruisers.

next up for rhythm sections club focused sub-label international black 004 is here and it is bringing the heat - this time from tennessee, usa. mister saturday night and cgi affiliate alex falk delivers a 4 track ep made with one thing in mind the dancefloor. taking influence from the likes chevel, levon, redshape and phase, alex falk achieves a singular vision merging american and european styles of techno. opening with upp, an effortless techno groove with a tight rolling bass line, classic lead stabs that pulsate, twist and turn as the heavy kick punishes the subs. beta comes in next with a serious low end bounce a distorted bass bump pushes the system to the max before being followed up by lower sub all swinging around a fat house kick and tight percussion another club stomper for the serious rigs only. the b side is a proper dub techno workout.

from the twilight zone of rhythm section international comes a new label for 2017: international black. this is the offshoot’s 3rd release this year and the machine shows no signs of slowing down. bradley zero’s ear for new talent continues to pay off as we are introduced to yet another young pair of producers, mallard & lt, going by the name of ‘j deep’. mallard, a 19 yo jazz student who made a big splash with his debut rs intl ep, ‘verte’, returns with a track aimed more squarely at the dancefloor. although hypnotic and ethereal, it packs a punch, with the arrangement and musicality belying mallard’s musical training at trinity college. on the flip side, mallard joins forces with another promising producer who goes by the name ‘lt’ in their collaborational partnership known as j.deep. complex jazz chords swim around 909’s to create an elevating techno roller that climbs and climbs only to give way to sparse rave stabs and ecstatic snare patterns. tried and tested for the best part of a year, these are 2 serious jams, proven to cause dancefloor frenzy.

international black stick to their word and come good with another ep of high end club material from two young uk producers: neinzer & losian. neinzer, having released on deep moves berlin and the fabric affiliated yumé records presents what could prove to be his breakthrough track in the form of weiblich a devastating and highly function piece of sound art meets techno. losian finishes the job off with the heaviest techno cut weve heard in a long time channeling basic channel and passing it through a uk sound-system filter to create a monster ready for the berghain peak-time dance-floor.
