Searle – Mind Transfer EP [MOWAR010]

January 25, 2012May 23, 2012 hipodromeclaro intelecto, franco cangelli, mowar, searle, technoLeave a comment

Functional Deep Techno from Mowar’s recent conscript, Searle, backed with a wicked slomo remix from Claro Intelecto. Searle’s original cuts strike upon aquatic acid with ‘Mind Transfer’, hypnotic, industrialized bleeps on ‘Succubus’ and driving acid Techno for ‘Unauthorized’, but the highlight has to be Claro’s gripping, beatdown remix of ‘Mind Transfer’, draggign the tempo down while opening up the space above, while still managing to create the sort of driving intensity you don’t usually feel at this pace.

ZENKER, Dario - The Move Clean EP (Front Cover)

Dario Zenker is back on Vakant with the label’s first release for 2012. 5 tracks that almost make a mini album but with pretty much individual tunes, with a touch of the more dark and sinister side of Vakant. Starting with ‘Where Are You’, a haunting yet hoping track that once again takes Dario as close to Detroit as one can get while living in the capital of Bavaria. Next one is ‘Hype’, less elusive than the opener, with a heavy drum pattern that demands a strong sound system to flower out completely. ‘Steppin To’ carries a bass line as thick and heavy as it can be and might be the most moody track of this package. Two more, ‘Works’ and ‘Tassel’, but we leave it up to you to discover, as writing about music we think is very limited due to its nature.

STOJCHE - Asset 001 (Front Cover)

Tangible Assets is a new independent label for underground dance music associated with deepness. The debut release “Asset001” showcases four original tracks from Stojche. The opening track “Introvert” track is a strong pounding melodic techno track where the infectious pad theme is filled with various warm synths and chords. The side continues with “Decay”, a nice symbiosis between the old-skool groove and mellow pads, spiced up leading texture and a beautiful string arrangement. The B-side kicks off with “Traveler”, a deep ‘n soulful groover, with raw percussion, dubby chords and a unique lead. Finally the last cut of this EP is “Raw Method” – is a Detroit-influenced stripped down house tune, where the 808 drums combine with synths, padlines and electric piano chords.

Arttu – Soul Stream [4LUX1201]

January 23, 2012March 13, 2025 hipodrome4lux, arttu, gerd, house, snuff crewLeave a comment

Arttu comes with his first single for 4lux. “Attic House” is a filthy club banger with heavy bassline and cut up vocal bits. Gerd re-arranges the track and adds more drama to the strings coming in halfway throughout the track. “Soul Stream” is a deeper Detroit-ish nugget with nostalgic feel. Yet again Arttu’s trademark of slamming beats & bass combined with cut-up vocals snippets profide for an insane jackin’ track. Last but not least Snuff Crew comes with a heavy re-work on “Attic House”.

Calibre – Condition [SIGLP007]

January 21, 2012February 28, 2013 hipodromealbum, calibre, dominick martin, drum & bass, signature records6 Comments

Calibre returns with his enigmatic dub influenced drum and bass sound, smooth piano stabs with silky rolling beats. His sixth studio album does nothing to dispel this belief and signals a return to his early noughties heyday when he knocked out sublime and understated but fully formed musical gems for fun. Standout tracks “Who’s Singing” and “Mirage” are both haunting lessons in liquid and the tougher edged “Garbage Man” and “Schlager” are built for maximum impact.

Unit Moebius Anonymous – Perambulator One [CHANS002]

January 20, 2012January 31, 2013 hipodromechan's, techno, unit moebius anonymous1 Comment

Unit Moebius arise from dwelling in “the Hague sewers” for five fingers of dark industrial techno on the fledgling Chan imprint. Across the five untitled tracks on Perambulator One all the signature Unit Moebius sounds filter out with twisted glee – with the A Side traversing through lolloping machine sludge that will appeal to STL fans, tunnelling tape saturated techno inspired by the paranoia of 1950’s Martian invasion cinema and what can only be described as ambient industrial break core. Flip over for exercises in insular stripped down Detroit electro embellished by insect like ambient textures and stretched out machine funk that pounds your very essence at a dizzying pace.

Luomo – Spy [MOOD111]

January 19, 2012January 22, 2016 hipodromehouse, luomo, moodmusic, my favorite robot, pener+muder, teeth, vladislav delay2 Comments

Luomo aka Vladislav Delay, under a raft of names Finnish artist Sasu Ripatti, has in the last years experimented with ambient, broken beat, glitch as well as grooves and house music with soulful vocals. Luomo is about experimenting with pop music, a big influence for Ripatti, and bringing it to a fusion of house, disco and electronica. His longplayer “Plus” hit the shops in October 2011 with a fine selection of songs inspired by Pop and end of the 80s Chicago vocals. For the 2nd single from the album it was obvious that Spy needed a proper single release, an imminent feel-good song with enough dancefloor appeal to be played out. The release features remixes by My Favorite Robot, Penner+Muder and Teeth.

Alfabet – E/F [RH-ALFA3]

On the third Alfabet release Tom Trago and Awanto3 step it up a dozen of notches or so. ‘Hell Of Samba’ surely sounds as the theme tune of armageddon. ‘Too Shy’ on the other hand sounds like we have died and woke up in heaven. A soothing, spaced-out, yet bass heavy jam that gives an strangely eerie feeling that angels are among us.
