Contakt – Not Forgotten EP [LOC005]

February 8, 2011February 8, 2011 hipodromecontakt, detroit, dubstep, local action records, rolando, technoLeave a comment

Local Action come correct with two debut productions by Contakt strapped with a killer Rolando remix! ‘Not Forgetten’ tips the balance towards boldly melodic and tranced-out motifs powered by a cool and clipped Funky roll, whereas ‘Rhodophyta’ is all about rugged, highly rinsable dub chord flares and staggered Funky rhythm construction for the movers. Detroit’s son, Rolando revises ‘Not Forgotten’ with a deft Latin tuck, savoring the build with a skilled restraint and teasing the rhythm like he’s loving it

D’Marc Cantu – Set Free [MOS DEEP 005]

Next up in the 10” series on M>O>S Deep is a solo-project of D’Marc Cantu. D’ Marc delivers two surprisingly melodic, sexy and hypnotizing house tracks. “Set Free” opens with a hard-hitting flanged bass-sound and a devastating kick and slowly evolves into a dreamy and atmospheric track full of mystery. “Tonight” is a hypnotic and haunting latenight-dancefloor track, combining long stretched melodic stabs, an ultra-deep bassline and D’ Marc’s whispering vocals taking you down deep in the uncanny and eery underworld of his soul.

Protect-U – World Music [FT008]

February 7, 2011January 31, 2024 hipodromeaaron leitko, future times, house, mike petillo, protect-uLeave a comment

‘World Music’, the second 12 from Washington, DC’s Protect-U is a total mutant house/techno. On the A-Side, synth lines bubble like 80s-style Francis Bebey, then burn up into a space-pulse overdrive. The flip, U-Uno, is an underwater electro-sitar dream straight outta 24th century India, followed by a slo-mo dub of World Music that slips back and forth between digital Jamaica and European nu-romance.

Ever Vivid – Sketches Of My Life EP [OMR-EP1]

February 5, 2011February 4, 2011 hipodromedetroit, electro, ever vivid, nick dunton, open mind recordings, technoLeave a comment

Four tracks of deep techno and electro produced by Nick Dunton, one half of The 65D Mavericks. This EP represents a bit of a departure from his hard-edged 65d style, and brings four beautiful tracks steeped in soulful imagery. It’s all classic Detroit style techno on here ranging from solid sweet dub techno to more string laden electro tracks with beautiful spoken voices. ‘Lost Love’ is absolutely the winner but all 4 tracks are top notch

February 3, 2011November 12, 2018 hipodromeadepth audio, detroit techno, erell ranson, rennie foster1 Comment

This 4 track EP begins with Erell’s original version of ‘Everything Needs to Be Clear’. Its combination of gentle chords with electro beats is the foundation of the musical ideas explored throughout this release. The second track, ‘So strange to explain’, is deeper and an adventurous fusion of dark, intense tones, swirling beats and insistent percussion. On the flipside, Canadian Rennie Foster remixes the title track, and delivers a fine piece of modern dancefloor techno which respects the key elements of title track. Erell’s ‘Sandcastle’ closes the EP, and its sophisticated yet punchy bassline and fragile synths recall some classic early ‘90s productions.

HOOD, Robert - Alpha (James Ruskin remix) (Front Cover)

The exceptional music mechanic Robert Hood is firmly back in business for 2011, kick-starting the new decade with more M-Plant excellence. James Ruskin takes a break from an impressive release offensive on his own Blueprint label to remix ‘Alpha’, the first single that was taken from ‘Omega’, Robert Hood’s concept album of last year. The remix adds a touch of Ruskin magic to this A-side. While maintaining the essence of Hood’s initial track, James provides a fresh outlook that is sure to be as well received as the original. Over on the B-side Hood delivers a brand new track called ‘The Family’. This is classic Robert Hood with its unrelenting rhythm, powerful bassline and a good dose of the funk. While most of us struggle through the cold, this will be firing up dancefloors the world over.

Kink / Adam Port – Detunator [LIEBE036]

New split Ep on Liebe Detail with Kink and Adam Port. Kink returns to Liebe*Detail with his second original track in a wonderfully raw and energetic jam – Detunator. Heavy, pulsating drums cut through the deep vibed Rhodes tones that swirl across the foreground of this atmospheric killer. Rushing and ecstatic, a classic monotone bass line drops midway to relieve the tension, before the the warm keys return. Adam Port comes with a jazzy influenced groover with house spirit.
