Dieptepunt – Feeling Deep [DIEPTE002]
Dieptepunt was responsible for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 12″ on their own self titled imprint last year. Now, “Feeling Deep”, the title track from that EP gets two superb reworkings from Delta Funktionen. On the A-Side, his “Mono Mix” of the title track sees a churning bassline sitting inside some devastatingly simple kick drums, taken into more atmospheric territory with some heavily processed, silky pads. On the flip, his “808 Mix” begins with the kind of sparse tom and snare arrangement, before launching into some deep, squelching acid licks that sound like they’re wrapped beneath a swathe of damp mist.
XDB – Recago EP [DOLLY008]
This time it’s XDB delivering the goodies for Dolly, as always pushing the boundaries between house and deep techno. With this 4 excellent cuts XDB is taking the label in even deeper territories. Even though they are very well playable and will easily rock the floor, taking it up to somewhere between jupiter & mars, XDB’s tracks are more than just proper dj-tools. So well-crafted, deep, harsh and hypnotising, but always firmly keeping floor contact with minimal yet funky drum programming, exactly as this kind of music should be. To top things of, Brooks Mosher on remix duties delivers a Detroit inspired remix of ‘Sunda’.
Unbroken Dub – Siberia EP [RAWAX005]
Rawax with another strong ep done by the young talented Unbroken Dubs. Raw analogue sounding techno tracks with a nice lively feel and funking drum machines!
