June – Digital Tsunami 082
Lerosa & Kenny Hanlon – Dimension Series 3 – D7
Johannes Volk – Hydro Funk [DOLLY023]
This is Johannes Volk’s second EP for Dolly. Two fierce but club friendly rolling techno tracks featuring an epic Luke Hess remix. With their warm and euphoric chords ‘Hydro Funk’ and ‘Shadow Section’ will take you right back to the golden days of techno. Detroit’s Luke Hess on remix duties takes ‘Hydro Funk’ into even deeper territories. An hypnotic and melancholic, yet very driving detroit techno tool.
Dez Williams – Sleight Of Hand [SHIP028]
Killler techno/electro hybrids by longtime electronic UK warrior Dez Williams, bringing five deep yet merciless pieces of mutant electrofunk and under-the-radar hypno techno. Exceptional dj tool and again a very strong ep on the mighty Shipwrec label.
Third Side – Pandora EP [RST020]
The return of the Third Side trio to Berlin’s foundational Restoration imprint. The Analogue Cops, Lucretio and Marieu, are back on their old moniker with Panorama Bar resident Steffi, with their loose, dusty house-techno hybrids after over a year of hiatus. “Bearing All Gifts” opens the EP with a penetrating techno pulse surrounded by the group’s familiar bundle of circling industrial electronics; the B-side goes more hypnotic thanks to the excellent groove of “Opening The Jar”, and “Elpis” makes for a fine closing tune thanks to its subtle swirls of 303, mid-tempo kicks and intricate bundles of hardware noise.
Sean Dixon – Yearning EP [FINALCHAPTER006]
For the sixth release on Final Chapter, Sean Dixon provides three tracks of warm and precise electronic sound complimented by a very deep and full remix from Analog Solutions label boss and director of the electronic music documentary “Beatz,” Eduardo de la Calle.
J.C./ NX1 – Split 01 [JCSS001]
Some more quality techno by Madrid’s Jose Cabrera who is having a mighty good run of releases at the moment, we must say. This inaugurates his new label. It’s bleeping and majestic Jeff Mills style techno that’s the flavour on “Exodus”. “J1” by NX1 though is a tribute to? You guessed it: Robert Hood. This time with cyclical and entrancing synth stabs and claps on the kick, and a fine tribute we must say.
Delta Funktionen – Wasteland – Chapter IV: Lifewater Oasis [RAM-X-06]
Jeff Mills – Exhibitionist 2 – Part 2 [AX068]
The second installment of 12” EP from “Exhibitionist 2” DVD+CD. All the tracks are created by Jeff Mills during the session in the Studio Mix in the DVD, where the audience can see and learn how Jeff Mills produces tracks.
BNJMN – Skur EP [J101]
Dutch powerhouse Creme Organization started a brand new label entitled Jericho One. The man behind the first EP is Berlin based Brit BNJMN. Opener ‘Skur’ is a hurried techno jam with frosty textures and bleak industrial vibes. It sets the vibe for the total feeling of the EP which is way more floor facing compared to BNJMN’s earlier productions. This is a truly out there and wild EP that once again finds BNJMN experimenting on the outer fringes of the techno world in his own unique, distorted way.
M//R – No Tag No Food EP [DTLSND005]
M//R aka Billy Werner is back with a strong bundle of four tracks, steadily making his mark on the scene of contemporary techno. This record is a proper electronic weapon, from the slowed down pounding impulse of total burner ‘No Tag No Food’ to the suspended rhythm of atmospheric ‘Idyll’ which brings the listener into a gravity-free dimension.
Klankman – Klankman [TH002]
The Greek / Dutch label Tar Hallow sets on after the label’s maiden voyage by Super Unknown. More poundy basement tracks as we dig them by Bunker alleviate Klankman.
Traxx @ We Are Monsters, Monarch (San Francisco) 05.06.2015
Cardopusher – Manipulator [BNR146]
Cardopusher delivers his first album for the Boysnoize label entitled ‘Manipulator’. The album is a 10 track hardware composed record inspired by early rave, 90s EBM/industrial and lo-fi acid house/techno blended together with modern production touches. Perfect for peak times or late hours this record pays homage to underground music.
Kosel – Rename EP [ROPR001]
Its the very first release of a new polish record label – Rotten Periodicity. The record constitutes as well Kosel’s debut. True lofi character and style. Tough, lo-fi techno for the post-industrial underground.
Klanken – Drie / Twee [DEEWEE002]
passEnger – Hybrid Science EP [TABR032]
The Tabernacle imprint continues on its mission to provide dusty and lo-fi excursions through soulful techno. This time courtesy of Turin’s Andrea Di Maggio aka passEnger. “Correlated Motions” is a dark peak time affair of metallic reverberations and sinister atmospherics. “Protong Genetics” captures you in all its deepness complete with otherworldly oscillations and emotive circuitry. On the flip there’s “Epta Waves” which gets on a Drexciyan electro tip, convincingly and brilliantly while final track “Uranus Unknown” features the lushest analogue strings that will absolutely hypnotise and draw you in unlike anything else you’ve heard recently.
