After last years spectacular return to our airwaves and the world of techno with the release of the excellent album From the Far Future Pt. 2, the Detroit veteran Terrence Dixon is back with a new release entitled the Giant Robot EP on Monique Musique imprint, while that enigmatic and experimental British producer Actress has been brought in on remix duties.

Music Man presents the third single from Robert Hoods’s ‘Motor: Nighttime World 3′ - ’Black Technician’. It includes 2 remixes from the Underground Resistance crew, the ‘UR Mad Mike Remix’ features founding UR member Mike Banks with edits by Skurge & Ray 7. On the ‘DirtTech UR Remix’ Mad Mike collaborated with Waajeed.

Genre bender Phon.o finds new perfection in merging UK bass music with techno, garage and even house music. Not in a wild mash-up kind of way, but very organic and natural sounding. ‘Schn33′ is a guaranteed floor filler for all kinds of dance music Djs. No matter where, no matter when, no matter what mixed with, this is an anthem! Perfectly supplemented with a strong B-Side, this might be the strongest Phon.o single yet.

Although Michigan is well inland from the North Atlantic Ocean, it doesn’t mean Detroit can’t make techno for the high seas or uncharted waters. Terrence Dixon’s Lost At Sea 12″ for the Surface label founded by Nick Dunton and the late Richard Polson sees four tracks of “Untitled” Detroit techno traverse through a sonic field of Joey Anderson and DJ Qu house drums, while saw-wavey Drexciyan qualities and Jeff Mills techno loops also circulate the EP. A deep and heady 12″ of U-boat rhythmics for the techno underground.
