Marcel Dettmann – Deluge / Duel [50WEAPONS016]
Marcel Dettman puts out some jacking analogue sounding techno tracks on 50 Weapons. This is a classic 90s techno influenced EP that shows that the purest sounds are at the core of each Dettmann tracks.
Milton Bradley – The Dark Of The Psychic Unknown [DNRESISTTHEBEAT007]
Outstanding, completely alienated and dark sounding Techno from Milton Bradley on his own label Don Not Resist The Beat.
Kowton & Tom Dicicco – Untitled EP [PSQ007]
Kowton and Tom Dicicco present a split EP on Project Squared. Tom Dicicco’s original is driven by a low-mid range thick stab and pounding kick drum, littered with intricate but not overbearing hi hat and snare work and some very atmospheric mid range. Kowton’s is subtle and sparse, low fidelity and plodding, with rattling percusion carrying the tune along. On the other side of the record, Kowton’s remix of Tom’s original is driven by an enormous bassline, with an off kilter dubby feel to the slow tempo and genre defying tune. Tom’s remix of Kowton rounds off the EP with a return to stab driven Techno, pulsating, dynamic and trance inducing.
Unbalance – Unbalance #3 [UNBALANCE003]
Russian producer Unbalance continues to present his own vision of the many differing strains of techno for the third in an ongoing series of hand stamped clear twelve inches. On the A Side, “Legacy” jitters with peak time intent, as granite like textures collide rhythmically with the insistent jagged syncopation, with Unbalance deftly judging when to adopt an increase in pressurised poise. In comparison “Euphoria” commences in the deepest recesses, with the saturated bass throb becoming ever more viscous as the track bumps along, craftily accruing intricate sonic details which lend the track a woozy hypnotic narcosis. The mood gets drawn ever further down on the final, sludgy sounding “Violet’s Night” where fractured textures battle it out with the rattling percussion amidst swarms of cricket like atmospherics.
