junction records is back with junction002, packed with four to the floor techno tracks blending tech-house and house influences together. the a side starts with uk producer kiyo s desdemona , a powerful and hypnotic tune featuring kiyo s signature pounding kicks, huge moving pads, and detailed effects from the strung-out reverbs. metro follows with heavy tech-house flavour and subtle, atmospheric influences. filtered chords and spacious drones fill the breakdowns and pave the way for the infectious percussive melody.

zen oikawa gilt mit seinem projekt space mandala seit den 70er jahren in japan als wahrer kraut-kosmik-rock-pionier. er war musikdirektor für projekte in anime-studios, darunter kitty records und für das wichtigste japanische animationsstudio, studio ghibli und lieferte einen wichtigen beitrag für kurenai no butta (porco rosso) und omohide poro poro (only yesterday).

the debut ep of new-born junction records begins with thorough exploration of driving and percussive techno sounds in the form of label head cool tiger’s warehouse for all”. from atmospheric, suspensive build-ups to warped vocals and glitchy fills, this intelligent production from paris based producer is a sweet taster of things to come and stands proud and deserving as a1 on this release. next up on this release we move to groovier territory with french duo m&c’s droofin”. swinging percussion and warm, soft synths are undoubtedly the driving force behind this track. old school grooves contrasted with luscious, slow-moving pads in the breakdowns combine to create an infectious and familiar house sound. in coherence with junction’s pattern, the final track on this release from german duo dominik fry and skipio is as warm as you would expect. hypnotising vocals, hovering subby pads and gentle arpeggiators characterise this melodic easy-listener.
