Terrence Dixon vs Population One – Concrete Environments EP [MODULARZ020]

September 3, 2015December 22, 2017 hipodromedetroit techno, minimal techno, modularz, population one, terrence dixonLeave a comment

This time, Dixon returns under his own name and under his most successful alias, Population One, on one split EP for Developer’s Modularz label. “Code Of Conduct” and “Concrete Playground” represent the Population One side, the first tune being a subdued kick filled with cavernous space above it while the latter is more classic Population One thanks to those bizarre melodic twists. Dixon serves up “Touching Bass” and “The Beholder” on the flip, two jazzy techno sculptures that are instantly recognizable as his own.

Jackie House – Stydive [HNY008]

HOUSE, Jackie - Stydive

San Francisco sorts Honey Soundsystem largely stuck to offering up fairly experimental albums and cassette compilations. Jackie House’s “Skydive” certainly fits into this category, offering a spacey, synth-wave influenced take on early Chicago house. It swings, jacks and pumps in all the right places, with the action focused around a killer bassline. Matrixxman delivers the flipside remix, turning the loose and cheery original into a dark storm of thunderous kick drums, woozy chords and late night techno intent.

FLORENCE FOSTER FAN CLUB - Songs From The Lab

FFFC (Florence Foster Fan Club) are no strangers in our world of electronic music. Besides releases on their own the musicians behind this project are involved in numerous other projects like Sumerian Fleet, Zarkoff and Le Chocolat Noir. Recently they started operating out of an abandoned factory situated behind the (former) iron curtain. At this place they have collected all their synthesizers and started jamming. This 12” EP is a selection from recordings from these sessions.

Monocorpse – Ceremonie Caille [ET042/GOOILAND021]

September 1, 2015October 18, 2022 hipodromeelectro, enfant terrible, gooiland elektro, monocorpse, technoLeave a comment

Hailing from Holland, Monocorpse serves dark electronix/techno. Extremely minimal, raw and primitive in sound and the tracks are ritual and occult in orientation and mood. Think of the previous Gooiland Elektro releases by Drvg Cvltvre and Ekman but stripped down to the essence and pitch black.

FOQL – Hypatia [ET041/GOOILAND020]

September 1, 2015October 18, 2022 hipodromeelectro, enfant terrible, experimental, foql, gooiland elektro, technoLeave a comment

FOQL belongs to the same Polish electronic music collective as Marburg, but the sound of this project is truly different. Hypatia EP is delicate and even fragile maybe… It has the ritual feeling like some of the music by Coil has, and fuses ambient, electronix and techno in the same way Kobosil can do. In short, this is a record for well informed and well educated music lovers.

Time for some serious maniac sonics for the world to enjoy the way Mathematics has been known for by combining the talents of two insane sonic visionaries, Deviere & Jamal Moss. A fusion of Larry Heard, Sun Ra, and Armando. This EP is to ease you into what’s about to come.

J.C. – Portrait Of The Flying Sky [SPMBLP001]

August 31, 2015November 3, 2017 hipodromealbum, dario zenker, j.c., jose cabrera, kastil, psynote, soul people boards, soul people music, tadeo, technoLeave a comment

Fred P’s Soul People Music returns with a full length from the artist formerly known as Kapser and Esperanza main man Jose Cabrera. Last seen on Peterkin’s newly inaugurated Boards imprint, the Madrid native presents us with some killer techno tracks on here. “Endorphinas” sounds like a restrained take on the Jeroen Search & Dimi Angelis sound, and sounds great! “Human Behaviour” is brooding moody techno at its finest. On the other side “Nebula 584 (feat. Dario Zenker)” is the kind of steely cyclical techno you would expect from such a collaboration while “Hyperion” is more on the Robert Hood tip with its entrancing stabs that repeat on and entrance you with, you guessed it; claps on the kick; and it’s rather infectious.

Jonas Kopps returns to Tresor with a powerful and club-oriented EP, ”HHH”. Over the past 10 years Kopp has explored and found himself confortable in many genres of music ranging from housey beats to hypnotic techno. This particular release finds itself comfortably in the middle of a dark and dusty dance floor.

August 30, 2015September 29, 2019 hipodromep.e.a.r.l., techno, weekend circuit recordsLeave a comment

P.E.A.R.L. surges through with an emanating soundscape of near, far and leftfield embodiment of energy. Abrasive and dancefloor-focused “Desolation” is no stranger to the harder sounds of percussion. With a subtle ghost, and ever tense, this track rides through red traffic lights, and begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Fabrizio Lapiana – Maysak [ATTIC009]

August 30, 2015February 9, 2023 hipodromeattic music, fabrizio lapiana, technoLeave a comment

The third installment of Attic Music Hurricane Series. Here Fabrizio Lapiana returns with three melodic techno cuts, a mix of dark and calm vibes on the b-side, where a vibrant chord defines a melancholic atmosphere in “Leading Nowhere”. A corrosive bass line snakes the ground in the ambient-techno’s “Water Smoke”, a track that express the hypnotic and peaceful concept behind the series.

Indigo Kennedy – Requiem Remixed [TOKEN054]

August 30, 2015December 13, 2023 hipodromeambient, dasha rush, efdemin, inigo kennedy, kangding ray, regis, techno, tokenLeave a comment

Token are back with their very own Indigo Kennedy, and he’s brought along a squadron of remixers to transform his recent “Requiem” tune. First up is Dial’s Efdemin, who quickly adds his signature brand of freeform deep house – sinister pads all around – followed by Kangding Ray and his slo-mo version, a truly chuggy affair in all sense of the word. The flip sees Downwards master and UK techno legend Regis inject his deep and menacing style onto the framework, and Full Panda’s Dasha Rush takes the straight-ahead techno approach but proceeds to surround the beats with gorgeous swirls of instrumentation.

VA – Berlin Atonal Vol. 3 [ATONAL001]

August 29, 2015November 13, 2023 hipodromeabdulla rashim, berlin atonal, cabaret voltaire, compilation, fis, industrial, miles whittaker, technoLeave a comment

Berlin Atonal is proud to pick up on a tradition begun in 1984 with the publication of two volumes of live recordings from the 1983 edition of the festival. Those records bore witness to the most inventive, adventurous sounds of the festival. Berlin Atonal Vol. 3 carries this custom forward three decades with selections from four of the standout performances of Berlin Atonal 2014. Of course Cabaret Voltaires lauded and historical first show in over 20 years is featured, Richard H Kirk’s no-nostalgia and machinery driven set firmly putting the Cabaret Voltaire project in a future-facing direction. Miles Whittaker’s surprising and muscular live performance also contributes a cut, as does festival favourite Fis with his characteristically lumpy, textural soundscapes. Finally, two selections from Abdulla Rashims memorable session gesture toward a possible future for synthesised music.

KUNO/SPACEINVASION/FALLBEIL/NEUSPOTTER NS465 - Terminal Operations 001

The A-side starts with one nasty UK-influenced techno banger by Kuno which is followed by Spaceinvasion’s pure raw acid onslaught. On the flip side Fallbeil deliver another distorted acid bomb with brutal vocals and Neuspotter NS465 finishs off with some synth-driven madness.
