45 ACP – Change Of Tone [LIES061]
Known for his work on the Antinote label as DK, 45 ACP is the alias of Parisian producer Dangkhoa Chau. Having seen prior releases on Italian label, Dog in the Night Records and French label Odd Frequencies, 45 ACP has caught the attention of L.I.E.S. Records where we see him issuing his debut six track LP. Not straying too far from his prior works, we get a wide yet cohesive grouping of tracks throughout the record. Sounds ranging from the slo-mo cosmic chug of 7th Circle, to the percussive boogie leaning Ground to Ground or the Sakamoto-esque lush b-side opener Hidden Garden, 45 ACP delivers start to finish proving equally effective on the dancefloor or in your headphones.
Compassion Crew – V.H.S.S. [DOLLY022]

Pure analogue music coming from his machines. Andreas Gehm aka Elect Pt. 1 is present as remixer in this great release.
Raw M.T. – Abductions EP [WB016]
For his comeback release on Ukraine’s Wicked Bass label, the gloomy producer hiding behind the alias Raw M.T. presents another set of trippy, yet noticeably simplified masterpieces of 90’s E-werk informed analog techno. ‘Falling Into Nowhere’ with its melancholic xylo drops and Twin Peaks infused pads takes us to a setting of descending sadness, while random peak leads and swinging hats on ‘Abductions’ and ‘Essense’, in contrast, contribute to a much more dancefloor-friendly and optimistic picture. Three fine cuts that will work both at peak and afterparty time.
Mono Junk – Prince Of The Night [FP008]
Given their obsession with the analogue-rich, stargazing sound of early ’90s intelligent techno, it seems fitting that the latest Forbidden Planet release sees the return of Mono Junk. Predictably, the veteran producer is on fine form, delivering cuts bristling with yearning, sci-fi tinged melodies, restless arpeggios, far-sighted electronics and raw, stripped-back drum machine rhythms. While much of the EP is bold, melodious and intoxicating (see “Prince of the Night”, for starters), Mono Junk also indulges his rarely seen dub techno influences on “Channel B (Remix)”, before reaching for the stars with the Legowelt-esque synth beauty of “Maalisku”.
Developer – Archive 5 [DEVELOPER005]
Functional main room techno tracks from the arhcives of Developer. Solid no-nonense looped techno tracks.
Trevor Deep JR – TDJ LP [HPTY004]

Moving in the deep waters of timeless quality house and techno this album showcases the fine taste and production skills of Trevor Deep JR. Seven tracks ranging from cuddly and inviting, with undulating basslines and serene strings to darker, more meaning and atmospheric such as on ‘Kreuzberg.’ There is also airy, spacious stuff with distant piano motifs, fat bottomed acid house, timeless dub and freeform jazz cuts with big trumpets, walking basslines and lush percussive patterns. Closing out on a tender vocal number from legendary Detroit producer vocalist Niko Marks, with inviting Motor City broken soul.

Few have done minimal dub techno better before or since this masterpiece album, so it’s right that 2015 sees it revisited by fans old and new alike.
Jeff Mills & Mikhail Rudy – When Time Splits [AXCD047]
Jeff Mills has always tried to do things differently, but few could have foreseen his collaboration with classical pianist Mikhail Rudy. Back in February, the two men joined forces to write, and subsequently perform, a soundtrack for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s unfinished 1964 film L’Enfer. When Time Splits is a recording of that performance, with Rudy providing evocative piano motifs and thoughtful solos, accompanied by typically spacey, sci-fi inspired electronics from the Detroit maestro. At times it’s willfully discordant, at others immensely beautiful. Throughout, it remains a fascinating study in combining the worlds of modern classical, jazz, ambient and experimental electronics.
Eduardo De La Calle – Analog Grooves #4 (final) [MG109]
4th and final volume in the Analog Grooves vinyl (and analog) only serie, a joint venture between spanish producer Eduardo De La Calle & swiss Mental Groove Records focusing on futuristic / cosmic compositions for both clubbing and listening enjoyment.
