Detroit heavyweight Jeff Mills has always been one of techno’s visionaries, prone to translating great concepts into near-cinematic soundscapes. Given techno’s roots, it’s no surprise that many of these concepts have been inspired by science fiction, and in particular obscure sci-fi films. Inspired by Franklin Adreon’s 1966 film Cyborg 2087, “2087” offers a dark and uneasy but at times brilliant mix of intense dancefloor techno, creepy electronica, woozy ambience and clunking IDM – all designed to mirror the cloying futurist horror of the original film.

‘Phantomz’ is the work of Belgian producer Ozka aka David Nizet. The title track sets the tone for the rest of the release: a dark, dense serving of techno propelled by dense beats, relentless filters and a foreboding bassline, it effortlessly captures the sound of 6am in a darkened warehouse. Aubrey is providing a remix to close the EP.
