the last few years has seen a series of well received releases from rhythmic theory, the anonymous techno producer lurking in the shadows of the bristol music scene. *endless forms* is their second release for idle hands and follows on from where the previous ep *legacy of the lost* left off. the title track delves deeper into the sonic realms of classic jungle and comes up for air sounding like dub techno. a weighty bass line propels things along, whilst a sci-fi voice intones the title. this one is a sound system rocker. *tales of dystopia* brings to mind early nineties uk techno with its haunting synths, swung beats and deadly bass line. rhythmic theory is killing it at the moment, expect more to come.

next cadenza killer ep !! the four cuts on this doublepack are monsters all, between eight and 13 minutes apiece. coming hot on the heels of similarly sprawling releases from ricardo villalobos and luciano & thomas melchior, they confirm cadenza s commitment to stretching electronic dance music s form to fit a more expansive frame. these are anthems, but they re anthems of a different sort. while too many hits beat their riffs like dead horses and treat their listeners little better, loco dice turns their attentions to gauzier, wispier elements: ghost melodies, feathery percussion, iridescent timbres that flash once and are gone
