Now Robert Hood delves back into Floorplan for his next M-Plant release called ‘Altered Ego EP’. The title track jacks out from the onset, just the way we like it! Hood’s distinctive rhythmic grooves are intoxicating as ever. With the staccato vocal cut and Detroit-meets-Chicago feeling, we’re back in ‘Baby Baby’ territory. ‘Confess’ shows the other side to Hood’s Floorplan with an opening gospel style piano riff that’s gradually overlaid with Latin percussion and that special Hood kick, to take the church to the party.

The fourth release on Farden from Sweden who keep on pushing the boundaries of pure and relentless techno. This time two funky ’90s inspired tracks by techno legend Aubrey.
A killer first release on Flight Recorder by Iron Blu who drops a 4-tracker of deep, stripped back Detroit-tinged techno.Side A opens with an intense drum-driven, string-laden stomper, whilst the second track continues with a growling bass holding the alien stabs and scattering snares together. Side B goes deeper, with Endless Eye navigating a deep bass beneath sweet strings and angular synths, then the final track goes into dub realms and even deeper.

Sect Records’ recent compilation It’s All For You showcased the exceptionally high standard of the label’s roster as well as introducing some talent to the world, and this, the first 12″ sampler from the album, selects three of the compilation’s finest tracks for vinyl treatment. Victor Martinez takes over the A-Side with “Dav To Dub”, combining heavily delayed chords filtered to breaking point, while a massive kick drum propels everything along, and a jazzy piano melody adds some subtle ambience. On the flip, D’Knox’s “I’m Sorry (remix)”, is a sparse number contrasting soothing chords with micro-loops which contain the spectre of disco, with a rapid rhythmic flutter and chittering melody at its core, while Fanon Flowers closes with “Invisible Life”, a murky production filled with chords that ripple like sheet metal over a flurry of 909 rimshots.

Toby Leeming aka The Third Man returns with his 3rd EP for ART, maintaining the high quality of previous releases “Future Tense” and “More Than One” both aim for the dancefloor.
This is the virgin record on Downfall Theory, a new St Petersburg imprint serving as the creative outlet for the persuasions and productions of discerning dance music Sanys Etiku. Side A is a full-on entanglement of sandy synths, cell-block stabs, a murderous midpoint bassline and hats slammed through a sieve. Side B is a solid brick of overpowering percussion pressed into an intoxicating terrine of implied melody so irresistible you will eat it raw.

Convective Deep Techno currents from Arthur Oskan, backed with a Luke Hess remix. On the original ‘Wants & Needs’ Arthur seduces with melancholy, dark-eyed synth pads and a purring bassline, stealthily evolving into a real midnight groover. On the flip, Luke Hess reduces the elements to a shook-down Dub Tech-House roller with strong Detroit genes.

Etui Records start their new limited vinyl series, returning to their musical roots of the late 90s. They retrace Detroit Techno and simultaneously transfer Dub Techno into an up-to-date audio frame. The first release comes from Monomood.
The man with the mask has the ability to maneuver between true school techno, malicious house, break beat bombs and Motor City romanticism – all ornamented with Redshape’s very own mark. For Running Back, he delivers something like a cross sum of his work. “On Da Floor” is subterranean haunted house with a broken heart, while Goom features a take-your-shirt-off Reese-bass-line.
The debut Ep from mysterious Parisian techno duo, Kartei, starts off with the Renaissance style “Lichtgarten”. In its unreleased state, the 15th century style arpeggio and driving beat already turned heads with appearances on some legendary Legowelt dj mixes. The record continues on with a modern track reminiscent of “hot on the heels of love,” and the heavy kicked aquatic space styled “Transponder”. And that is just the A side. The B side is big room Convextion/Basic Channel style techno and a gentle come down ambient track.
