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.

Raw M.T. – Abductions EP [WB016]

May 12, 2015November 19, 2024 hipodromehouse, raw m.t., raw music theory, techno, wicked bassLeave a comment

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]

May 12, 2015June 26, 2019 hipodromeforbidden planet, house, kimmo rapatti, mono junk, roberto bosco, technoLeave a comment

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”.

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.

Jeff Mills & Mikhail Rudy – When Time Splits [AXCD047]

May 9, 2015November 4, 2025 hipodromealbum, ambient, axis records, classical, detroit, jeff mills, mikhail rudy, symphonicLeave a comment

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.

May 8, 2015May 26, 2023 hipodromealbum, crysta petterson, detroit techno, field records, kartei, voiskiLeave a comment

Dutch label Field is ready to complete its recent trilogy of album projects with ‘The Information Is Coming From The Server’, a debut album from Kartei, aka Crysta Patterson and Voiski. The duo started their cyber technopop act in 2007, performing contextual actions on more alternative scenes. Their working ethos is based on collecting data from the internet to create new material. Data and songs are preserved into their server systematically. The album they serve up here is a condensed compilation of their archive, which can be described as clean and melodic, subtly uplifting and calls on classic techno as well as plenty of futuristic ideals. Grooves are quick and slick, synths are well crafted and emotive and everything is underpinned by a motor kick that powers the album along. Tracks like the bubbly ‘Sunset’ make for moments of calmer reflection between more trip out kickers like ‘Kartei gets Fat’. New wave vocals and sombre chords, bleepy melodies and celestial pads also feature throughout this album, and all in all adds up to a terrifically journeying album of fresh electronic sounds.

Raw M.T. – Planet G EP [UNRLTD002]

Raw M.T invite us on a trip to Planet G – a far-off netherworld populated by dystopian grooves, icy synthesizer melodies, weightless chords and stripped, deep space grooves. The journey begins with the first untitled track, a picturesque combination of raw drums, looped, Tangerine Dream style synth lines and spacey electronics. It’s closely followed by the restless ride cymbals, ultra-deep beats and drifting pads of “Track 2”, before “Track 3” signals a sense of impending doom via reinforced kick-drums, creepy chords and metallic percussion.

For the second release on Roberto’s new Fossil Archive imprint, he teams up with Artform’s Jamie Anderson. ‘Billingsella Corrugata’ is an intensely catching, beatsmart roller coaster of nimble basslines and 4/4 muscle power.On the flip side, ‘Corrugata’ has plenty of grab, nurturing a deep, melody-fractured trip through machine-made music.
