Red Rooms – Joy Ride EP [PRRUKBLK091]

Rotterdam techno collective Planet Rhythm drop five new techno tracks made by Red Rooms. Channeling a propulsive aesthetic reminiscent, given the album cover, of a grey sonic future vision a-la THX 1138 or Brave New World – a dystopian future built around rapid-transit subterranean, a state system built entirely underground tunnels for electric cars – the likes of ‘Prometheus’, ‘B110BE’ and ‘On The Level’ are underground bowler-overs, hearing us give over to a propulsive world of rapid engineered movement and humming velocity.

Fabio Monesi – Piano Vandals [LIES198]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

Italian House Music producer, Fabio Monesi, delivers a smoking 8 track double LP of old school bombs for L.I.E.S. Records. You’d be forgiven for thinking these were produced in the ’80s as all the classic and authentic elements are intact; catchy Yamaha DX basslines, crunchy TR-707 and Juno strings. Eight cuts all primed for the disco tech and nights of pure hedonism. These tracks go right back to the essence, hitting the full spectrum with stripped back classic New York and Chicago House cuts that wouldn’t seem out of place in a BMX or WBLS mix from back in the day. Catchy dx basslines, slammin reverb drenched drum programming, and deep strings are on order for this one.

Boo Williams – Hypnotic Teck [PRTR27]

Chicago house artist Boo Williams returns with his famous signature sound that is full of party but never short on class. His chunky drums are always the foundational element and they come embellished with superb synth work. This new EP on Pariter finds him lean into tech with the loopy acid squelches of ‘303 Effect’ keeping you in suspense, ‘Acid Smoke’ layering soft 303 lines into a punchy deep house cut and then comes the EP highlight, ‘Extension Time’. It’s a zoned-out roller with tender piano chords turning you inwards for deep reflection as the rubbery drums keep things moving.
