Month: March 2012
Cassegrain – Coptic EP [PRG025]
The second EP of Cassegrain on Prologue shows how extraordinary talented Alex and Hüseyin are and which wide range of electronic music both definitely cover. After their first release on Prologue the Coptic EP shows again the perfect range between experimental techno, proper sound research and deepest trails in electronic music.
Developer – Trade Beliefs [SEMANTICA039]
Developer from Los Angeles keeps on delivering his hypnotising yet energetic deep driving techno tracks, this time on the notorious Semantica records.
Vapauteen – Untitled [LIES008.5]
Three tracks of paranoid Industrial techno coming straight from the guts of New York City! All songs therein have been recorded live in one take, with no editing. Here is urgent and immediate music which claws at the eyes of society and reflects the fucked up world we live ineveryday.
Henning Baer – Drop Out EP [SG1252]
Henning Baer makes his debut on Sonic Groove imprint with an EP that sees abrasive industrial tones rub up menacingly against solid funk in a curious matching of audio devices. “Folsom” celebrates its graininess, but the beat remains an addictive and accessible one in the vein of the Live Jam collective. “The Spies” is more dangerous in its demeanour, as the stop-start groove does battle with decaying bleeps and kettle drum bass hits. “You Rhyth Me” on the flip ups the ante even more with a positively gruesome slow techno throwdown designed purely to terrify.

Steve Moore – Panther Moderns EP [LIES010]
New ep from Steve Moore which hits hard straight from the get go, as the title track Panther Moderns sees Moore moving into bleaker, mid-tempo musical territories with this brutally haunting, sparse, yet, funk ridden cut. Beyond Tykens Rift is the light at the end of the tunnel with its melodic and uplifting techno/new age leanings while the b-side’s Ancient Shorelines I., which opens with heavy arpeggios and a plodding kick, creates desolate landscapes of still to be discovered planets as the song’s dramatic narrative unfolds.
Crime Scene – It’s Time For Crime [ACIDICTED0.3 ]
Old school Chicago ghetto/acid tracks in a fresh jacket. Marbeled black/green plus handprinded artwork… limited limited.
Break SL – Desert Flight EP [UV009]
Break SL strikes back with a massive track called “Desert Flight” on the Uncanny Valley camp. Over the course of ten minutes the track unwinds as an analogue Slowhouse trip that is dominated by a gritty synth figure. With typical sophisticated Break SL drums, radio transmitted messages directly from the cockpit and a freaked out siren it’s a track that is not from this world. The flipside starts off in a more classical manner with the rumbling House of ‘Amorphed limits’. The track is distinguished by rapturous synths and gets spiced up through additional drum work by Break SL’s partner in crime Manuel Sander. ‘Beercase Song’ originates from collaboration with Dresden’s universal genius Max Rademann. His quirky keys and Break SL’s drum workshop create a dirty piece of Funk which rounds up an eclectic EP by a versatile producer.
Vincent Floyd – DJs Classic Mastercuts 780 [UCT780]
Rare oldschool tracks by Chicago veteran Vincent Floyd (Dance Mania) in the rebound. Featuring the epic ‘I am so deep’!!!
Tevo Howard – At All Pursuits [TTHR-DR010]
This album features 7 long form dance tracks, and is as Tevo Howard’s second album to date. The tracks included are to be looked at as sound compositions both as a whole and as their individual parts. In sound design, these tracks are sculpted for the dancer while focusing on metaphoric juxtapositions between the actual text titles of the tracks and their individual sound designs.

Norm Talley – The East Village EP [DSR001]
Norm Talley again, with a 4-Tracks Ep that includes a repress of ”A Jazz Thing”. Pressed on a 180g quality vinyl a nice release on this new French label delivering some quality detroit house tracks.
Samann – Analog Life EP [CHIWAX003]
Tazz – Adventures Of Tazz Sampler [TSUBA057A]
With his old-skool rooted sound, Tazz has always brought tantaslising styles to Kevin Griffith’s mighty Tsuba stable. There’s something very playful about the way he sets about building tracks, not least on the square-wave bass rinsing “Giovanni’s Keys”. Let it never be said the man is cashing in on tried and tested formulas, bringing his thoroughly modern production skills to bear on tightly honed floor rockers. “Many Reason!” ups the ante further with the teasing arpeggios and chiming synths, while “Captain Groove & The Oscillators” pulls things back to show it’s not all peak-time bangers in the Tazz camp.
Wil Maddams – Cut & Cap [LT008]
Local Talk preset a Wil Maddams release, featuring some classic chord driven house tracks with warm grooves and keys and bits of vocal samples.
