International techno collective and record label Sandwell District release their debut studio album. Feed-Forward, features previously unreleased techno cuts by the three central Sandwell artists – Dave Sumner as Function, Karl O’Connor as Regis and Juan Mendez as Silent Servant, with additional input from Female. A trademark, highly effective array of big industrial beats, off-kilter riffs and icy strings can be expected.
Expertly crafted DJ tools from a new French producer, the serious debut ‘EP1’ by Marcelus. The A-side confidently straddles that boundary between deepest Techno and House music with the pulsing, hypnotic propulsion of ‘Perception’ and ‘Friction’. The B-side goes more House wise with the sublime square bass churn of ‘Utopia’ and the squashed aquatic Dub House of ‘Phenomena’.
A deep, flowing piece of music with loads of dynamics, climaxes and atmosphere from the Dutchman Tim Wolff. Some well crafted techno tracks full of beautiful strings and fragile melodies. Steve Rachmad and Estroe on remix duty.
Marcel Dettmann is next on Kontra-Musik Records, with parts, samples and inspiration from Swedish experimental dub/drone act Mokira (Type, Raster Noton & Mille Plateaux), Dettmann delivers two brand new tracks for the label.
