We can only guess of who’s behind the second installment of the Midnight Hours 12″ – we only retrospectively found out that Rick Wade, Nick Holder & Scott Ferguson we’re all involved in the first one. The aural clues are quite promising… Upbeat and occasionally jazzy house with a strong whiff of Detroit about it.
New Yore release brings an EP from Tony Ollivierra aka Ibex with four tracks, so deep (and yet grooving without a doubt), unique and full of class. The music on this EP is so rich and full of musical idea’s.
Volk’s initial appearance on Heliocentric Music features a stunning dancefloor bomb, which will spark large-scale-fires in clubs around the world. The second track on this record comes from label-owner Myon, who again delivers an epic journey through the periodic table of Techno.
Glasgow club night, Slabs Of The Tabernacle, invites four former guests, John Heckle, Arne Weinberg, The Third Man, and PassEnger for a diverse and heavy debut.
Stunning new EP room the master of the true minimal groove. Infectious drum pads and an acidic twist render the title track unbeatable. The thundering kick and warehouse style acid line on ‘Power To Prophet’ will add energy to any dancefloor. ‘Clash’ is a nod to the old skool Chicago minimal techno.
Falty DL beautifully crafted and subtly put together slow motion house EP called “Endeavour”. “Endeavour” itself kicks off the release with molasses thick chords, off-beat bleeps and drums which build up a lush atmosphere before breaking into subtle keyboard stabs. “Filthy Divinity” takes a more hip-hop orientated route with a plaintive lead synth melody playing out over dusty drum breaks and claps, building into a crescendo with lush sampled orchestra strings. “Odyssey” takes classic Detroit techno at a snails pace and adds jazzy strings and a moog melody borrowed from classic fusion while building something that’s simultaneously fresh and nostagic.
Despite being club oriented with touches of dub techno and deep house, this EP attempts to reach a higher, more complex and edgy musical goal: 90% of it is made using audio samples and instruments collected through a lot of years and I tried to profit from all their imperfections and limitations.
Thommy is one of the few djs promoting the underground movement in Cluj-Napoca. For the last 5 years, he was involved in different projects that focused in promoting parties with good music and quality people. He presented us two mixes with two different attitudes, both showing some quality techno.
