joel grind (sole member of toxic holocaust) takes time out from delivering bone crunching extreme metal and has hot-wired a battery of analog synths for his debut release on death waltz originals.

tominori hosoya is the project of japanese track-maker tomi chair and for the past years he s been on a steadfast journey in the land of soulful house. his most recent offering on mixxrecords entitled life goes on ep includes four tracks, three originals and one brothers vibe remix. starting off with over the sadness, the first piece is a laid back groove with a solid bass backbone animated by classic house hi-hats. strategy meeting gets peppered with wobbly synths, giving the cut a seemly acid vibe against a steady percussive background. with 32-33 (one decision), tominori delves into his tribal side, keeping the focus on exotic drum patterns. the dreamy synth melody provides a contrasting yet fitting backline. for his remix of strategy meeting, brothers vibe goes full force and turns the track into a peak time floor killer, with a hypnotic percussive line, a solid project for certain!

j.c. with part 2 of his rebellion of the overman project dropping some physical techno tracks that will work the body and mind!. j.c. communicating through his machines and laying down solid grooves and effective machine rhythms topped by vulnerable contrasting synths! strong stuff!!

forthcoming release on soma records from forward strategy group: patrick walker.

up and coming producer, odd/even label boss and close stockholm ltd affiliate andre kronert arrives on figure with an astounding 3 track ep, completed by a deadly len faki dub. kronert has risen through the ranks yet stayed true to his reduced, warm and powerful sound strategy. the opening track g.i.a.n.t makes for a wonderfully tense opener, with its expansive dark sound design and deep dub kick arriving around the half-way point. this is countersigned then by two more energetic tracks in the shape of the throne room and fallen space, both pivoting over a fulcrum of classic synth hooks and carefully honed percussion. len faki takes the throne room into a different mental zone, with his almost tropical dub version, ensnaring a freaky pitched motif to accent and build upon andre s powerful original elements. classic reduction, and an ep of classic figure contemporary techno.

idle hands has been broadening its reach both sonically and geographically this year, turning to ambient electronic dub with portland’s strategy, atmospheric broken beat with london-based leif and stripped down house with german producer matt karmil. this latest ep brings the focus back to bristol with o$vmv$m, the latest project to emerge from the young echo milieu. comprised of neek (commonly found bashing out grime and steppers alongside kahn) and amos childs (of jabu and zhou amongst others), the eight track release marks a step into even more experimental territory for idle hands…

as idle hands reaches its 30th release, it gives us great pleasure to welcome rising talent matt karmill to the fold. to date matt has delivered a strong body of work to labels such as beats in space and yume, as well as dropping the cryptically titled - - - - album on popnoname’s pnn label last year. this three track ep marks his first appearance on the idle hands roster after earning his stripes on the shelves of the shop, and he will be following this record up with an album for us later in the year. the hooky leftfield house constructions on play it continue the thread of adventurous releases idle is championing in 2015, following strategy’s seeds of paradise lp and leif’s broken beat excursions. with a balance struck between experimentation and satisfaction, matt has delivered a record that continues the all important tradition of timeless music that the label always strives for.

airplay from steve barker (the wire) on bbc radio and support from tomas rubeck (eshu) among others. kicking off the new fifth interval label, san francisco based dub techno producer federsen heads up the premier release. the title track is a hazy dub techno trip filled with washes of tape delayed chords and crisp snares while the b1 track - 50hz is a far more broken affair, 140 bpm gear comparable to the likes of deadbeat and strategy. for the final track, isodyne (one half of forward strategy group) shakes up 50 hz, slowing it down to an incredibly weighty 115 bpm, finalising an excellent release with something for discerning djs of all tastes.

within the context of spirals, elements from the levels take on different meaning and significance. these ancient sources of knowledge combined with scientific and genetic theory, can provide valuable tools that can help us broaden our perspective. spirals are also concerned with correct action. correct action in spiral terms is action that is uniquely suited to the individual and the situation at hand. it places an emphasis on practical tools to guide each individual to correct action for him or herself. it does not tell you what correct action is. it gives you a tool to discover that for yourself: your strategy, based upon your unique design.

second release for the label created by darkcell. another step in the deep darkness of the modern techno, industrial, where the sounds come together to repetitiveness. sounds powerful but always hidden by a fog that makes the original track for a walk in our modern times. the remix of perc (perc trax, clr, etc.) makes the whole vision faster and stressful .. creating a set of rhythmic and repetitive sounds that destroy and alter any vision around ourselves. the version of bcr boys (nachtstrom schallplatten, darknet, etc.) has drawn much more syncopated, and industrial, the sound cut the atmosphere created by the syncopated rhythms ... a set of mysterious forces surrounding the whole track. power of darkness!

almost a year overdue, but finally the new release from the dutch techno label aftertaste recordings is unleashed! continuing the strategy of compiling dark and pounding techno tracks from some of their favourite artsists means that each release is focussed, yet there is enough character to the individual tracks for it not to get too samey.

support from: surgeon, ben sims, luke slater, deetron, len faki, efdemin, technasia, mike dehnert, cio d or, ryan elliot, arne weinberg, vince watson, dan curtin, marcel hesse, franco cangelli, philip sherburne, perc, forward strategy group, matt o brien, the parallel. with a string of eps on prologue, mote evolver and komisch , samulis hypnotic tracks are seducing dance floors and djs alike. >kosmos< is samulis biggest track to date, with blasts of dry ice percussion and thumping, heavy beats underpinning a solemn voice intoning the tracks title. eerie sounds take >kosmos< to the outer limits, but kemppi keeps it rooted on the floor with a resonating bassline. >massa< meanwhile, is a raw warehouse number, its gained bassline and crashing cymbals playing host to an evil acid line that threatens to spiral out of control. peter van hoesen dissects and reconstructs >massa< using an intricate, stop-start arrangement and lithe, stop-start rhythms dipping and building until a heavy kick drops four minutes in. meanwhile >suunta< sees samuli back where he started, a heavy sub-bass and skipping percussion married with eerie vocals and atmospheric sound scapes. from his mind to ours. this is samuli kemppi at his best.

the third release from zooloft, again by giorgio gigli and obtane. contextualised in monochrome is brilliant wax featuring dystopian visions, collapsing psychedelics and raw techno. smear, from forward strategy group, delivers a proper grinding remix that will bring you into a dimension of electricity and tension, optimal for futuristic dancefloors. 200 limited & hand-numbered copies, no digital.

nice price deal !!! expanding on the success of forward strategy group, label boss smear has fashioned the new minimalist outfit, retail & leisure, with a new addition of the fsg corporate family. retail & leisure is in many ways the polar opposite of fsg, ditching their trademark dense, heavy techno in favour of simplicity, space and a more systematic approach to composition. side a strips right down to the bare essentials, leaving little more than an ice-cold rhythm, bleep and hiss, creating a deep mix-tool for fans of artists such as mika vainio and sleeparchive. the b side features a remix by fsgs latest recruit adrian ross. mechanical scrapes and clangs mesh with deep, pressing kicks to create a sound which is dense and impenetrable. ross is a unique entity in techno: with a genuine outsiders take on the genre, he is an exciting prospect and a great asset to the group. the final track is r&ls take on dubstep, with dry, chalky percussion, discordant siren and churning bass. snares spin, shuffle and shatter against the tracks main, oppressive rhythms. the record ends with some valuable advice on where one should position ones feet

perc opens up the vertigo releases with his most singleminded track in years. based around a looping, lo-fi groove bcg is both a perfect dj tool and an unforgettable lead track. occasional blasts of distortion break up the rhythmic flow but this is no clichéd white noise soaked epic, just pure heads-down basement techno. first up to remix bcg is scotlands forward strategy group, who thanks to their releases on fsg and retail & leisure have soon won the support of such techno lynchpins as marcel dettmann and surgeon.

their debut perc trax release opens up with noson, a track which perfectly demostrates their sound, with tough but clear 909 drums underpinning a dubbed-out industrial soundscape that continually evolves as the track runs its course. on the flipside comes the 2-part indifference. part 1 featuring intense echoing synth stabs over clipped drums whilst part 2 goes deeper, but still with enough muscle to work in the sets of most djs. watch out for donor / truss remix of forward strategy group, coming up on perc trax in early 2010.

hot on the heels of the excellent bad cop bad cop ep comes the amazing new four tracker from smear, otherwise known as one half of forward strategy group, encompassing all that is good when it comes to hypnotic, rhythmic techno. think old school jeff mills meets marcel dettmann with a bit of throbbing gristle thrown in for good measure, youd be hard pushed to find a more essential techno record this year.

solid punishment of the mind with some chemical warfare aimed straight at the dancefloor. so take cover and hide, cause the cannibals are coming to hunt you down and they re freaking hungry!
