Modular Expansion is a fresh new techno label, based in Athens – Greece. The label’s first release comes from the head of George Apergis. The debut single features the track “Quelle”, a Detroit-ish techno track, with a distinctive chord progression and solid bassline. The release also includes 3 striking remixes from international artists. The first one comes from the acknowledged German artist Johannes Volk, who re-creates a dub version of the original track. The second remix comes from the rising scene of Paris and Zadig, who evolves the track into a groovy and deep experience. Last but not least, the remix of Irish technohead Lee Holman introduces a darker approach, setting a minimal atmosphere with a unique vocal.

Tresor memorialised its two decades of existence with an exclusive mix from one of its esteemed Detroit connections, Mike Huckaby. On that mix, Mike Huckaby included an exclusive production of his, the first one to be released on Tresor Records. Now they the “The Tresor Track” are pressed on wax, making up for a massive A.side cut at 45 RPM. On the flip, Mike Huckaby goes for a stroll through the Tresor building, heading downstairs, exploring the room’s darkest and most twisted corners with Basement Trax, going back towards “The Upstairs Lounge” and surprising his audience with some original rhythmic patterns.
Now Robert Hood delves back into Floorplan for his next M-Plant release called ‘Altered Ego EP’. The title track jacks out from the onset, just the way we like it! Hood’s distinctive rhythmic grooves are intoxicating as ever. With the staccato vocal cut and Detroit-meets-Chicago feeling, we’re back in ‘Baby Baby’ territory. ‘Confess’ shows the other side to Hood’s Floorplan with an opening gospel style piano riff that’s gradually overlaid with Latin percussion and that special Hood kick, to take the church to the party.

A killer first release on Flight Recorder by Iron Blu who drops a 4-tracker of deep, stripped back Detroit-tinged techno.Side A opens with an intense drum-driven, string-laden stomper, whilst the second track continues with a growling bass holding the alien stabs and scattering snares together. Side B goes deeper, with Endless Eye navigating a deep bass beneath sweet strings and angular synths, then the final track goes into dub realms and even deeper.
Sect Records’ recent compilation It’s All For You showcased the exceptionally high standard of the label’s roster as well as introducing some talent to the world, and this, the first 12″ sampler from the album, selects three of the compilation’s finest tracks for vinyl treatment. Victor Martinez takes over the A-Side with “Dav To Dub”, combining heavily delayed chords filtered to breaking point, while a massive kick drum propels everything along, and a jazzy piano melody adds some subtle ambience. On the flip, D’Knox’s “I’m Sorry (remix)”, is a sparse number contrasting soothing chords with micro-loops which contain the spectre of disco, with a rapid rhythmic flutter and chittering melody at its core, while Fanon Flowers closes with “Invisible Life”, a murky production filled with chords that ripple like sheet metal over a flurry of 909 rimshots.
Second release on Analogue Solutions sublabel Suprawax, featuring two tracks by Eduardo de la Calle.
