Cottam – Deep Deep Down EP [AUS1135]

November 18, 2011May 13, 2025 hipodromeaus music, cottam, deep house, vakula2 Comments

Cottam’s debut on the Aus imprint, with Deep Deep Down continuing the lineage of thick set mid tempo acid explorations. Sprawling luxuriously across the length of the A Side, the title track builds effortlessly from the spacious grooves and alien chug of the opening moments into a sumptuous array of floating sax, twisting acid lines and forever floating pads. Step forward Vakula completely realigning the feel of the track despite retaining some core elements. Cottam completes this excellent 12″ with the quite aptly named “Twang”, a seven minute boogie burner.

Elektro Guzzi – Parquet [M027]

November 17, 2011August 14, 2026 hipodromealbum, bernhard breuer, bernhard hammer, elektro guzzi, elektroguzzi, jakob schneidewind, macro recordings, patrick pulsinger, techno2 Comments

Elektro Guzzi deliver one of the most thrilling live performance models for techno and an innovative leap in the art of band performance at the very same time. Parquet, their second studio album sees them in an unprecedented monomaniacal techno mode. Throughout the 9 tracks the distinctions between instruments and roles are totally vaporized. While their instrumental approach is at the core of their aesthetics, it really doesn’t matter anymore if one sound comes from a guitar or bass or drum – it has all been merged into one sonic unit and all there is, is the music as a unified entity. While all the qualities of live performance are at hand – real time interaction, visual plausibility, instant miniscule adaptations – it is a radical break with what group performances have been about so far. The rhythms are stripped down to the core and structured for affecting longer stretches of perception. Every track comes with a distinctive, almost “branding” feature – like the hypnotic meter-shifting line of Affumicato, the gated chords of Pentagonia or the abridged rhythm of Absorber.

DELTA FUNKTIONEN/ROD/MARK DU MOSCH/ROBERTO AUSER - Field 6

The sixth release in the Field’s various artist series showcases four peerless Dutch producers – Delta Funktionen, ROD, Mark Du Mosch and Roberto Auser. Delta Funktionen turns in a dry, concrete techno track, ROD a more frantic and amped up number whilst Mark Du Mosch goes for some heavy bass swing with his clipped and heavy house effort. Auser closes out a nicely rounded EP with some glistening ambient synth sounds that swirl around in your head like a calming breeze.

All three excellent Fachwerk bosses step up here with a beautiful red vinyl release of their latest EP entitled, erm, Fachwerk on their own label. Roman Lindau goes first with some scraping, cavernous and loopy sounds before teaming up with Mike Dehnert for a beautifully bouncy acid number. Mike appears on his own for track three, a stomping peak time banger before Sascha Rydell gets some great height into his fat assed percussive groove, ‘It Happened’.

FEAR RATIO, The aka MARK BROOM/JAMES RUSKIN - Light Box

‘Light Box’ is the first artist album to bear fruit from the recent studio partnership of James Ruskin and Mark Broom – aka The Fear Ratio. As The Fear Ratio, Broom and Ruskin delve into the hinterland of contemporary music. A space where cold atmospheres meet lush melody and tough, yet clipped pulsating beats. From the warm polyrhythmic funk of ‘Ax’ to the deep spatial reverb of ‘Guv 1’, the dub induced strains of ‘Pinhead’ and melancholic refrain of ‘Morning Blues’ Ruskin and Broom deliver their new artistic agenda.

Kondens is collaboration between Swedish electronic music veterans Andreas Tilliander aka Mokira and Stefan Thor aka Folie. The sound is a hybrid of techy dubstep with a twist and banging dub-influenced techno. Pure peak time bliss without losing the love for dub and tape delays.

TRANSPARENT

For the debut release, Buenos Aires-based Krill Music have coaxed the evil out of Jonas Kopp and AnD to present a two-track EP of seriously threatening techno. “Transparent” is AnD’s most menacing number yet and sees their ambient dub pallet take a chilling industrial turn. Unsettlingly languid to begin with, “Transparent” slowly thuds to life, as though rising from an ancient slumber, before steely drum programming lead the charge through an ominous sonic landscape. A post-apocalyptic burner set to light up the darkest of underground dancefloors. On the flip, “Anklad” is a hydraulic workout from the Argentinian, molded from a minimal blueprint that has been fermenting in Berlin sensibilities. A dangerously precise piece of techno hypnosis.
