The glory days of SPEICHER resound in our ears once again – its time for techno to take a front row seat in the rave cathedral. Destination: future unknown. This is what the disco kids will certainly scream for as they now start to yearn for darkness in their dance. The perfect storm – a cold fusion of peak roar techno that is 100% classic SPEICHER.
20 years of brutal, no-holds barred techno. Adam X’s Sonic Groove imprint has rarely wavered in intent or in sound, a compellingly consistent watchword for the sort of electronic music that puts hair on the chest of its male fans and God knows what for its female followers. Dasha Rush’s new EP for the label continues in this vein. It’s a cleaner ride than Obtane’s recent 12-inch, but it’s no less intense, trading dank random industrialism for deep tracks that parcel out their steam pipe explosions carefully.
Perc opens up the Vertigo releases with his most singleminded track in years. Based around a looping, lo-fi groove BCG is both a perfect DJ tool and an unforgettable lead track. Occasional blasts of distortion break up the rhythmic flow but this is no clichéd white noise soaked epic, just pure heads-down basement techno. Remixes from Forward Strategy Group and Milton Bradley.
After his recent releases on his own A.R.T. label, Kirk has shown us that he is back in effect. This double a-sided 12” confirms just that! Two solid techno tracks that both are steaming dance floor tracks, yet they both have a sophisticated, almost elegant touch.
Split release from techno don Mark Broom and Edit Select for Beardman . Tasty Techno release from this sought after label.
