Conforce – Love And Hate EP [MEAN018]

After four singles for some of Europe’s a-list techno labels – Meanwhile welcome this inspired 22 year old Dutchman – Leeuwarden-based Boris Bunnik. As Conforce, he prefaces a stunning double album incoming soon, one of profound electronic depth representing classic techno’s next wave with this melodic, stunning and need we say highly limited three tracker. ‘Love Hate’ for us pretty well defines what’s best in futuristic Motor City techno-soul- house music – the sheer drama of this track as it ripples and swells all shapes it for those who care: dense and modern, pressed deep in a new era for the physical medium. If you can’t stand the deepness, get the hell out of the way.

Delano Smith & Norm Talley – Constellation / Detroit 2-Step [SUSH04.4.6]

Nice cuts by two uptempo tracks by these two friends. Delano Smith goes for a slightly deeper introvert cut that builds and grooves and that has a nice athmospheric feel to it. Norm Talley goes for a jazzier approach and a nice steady almost 2 step beat that keeps going.

$tinkworx live @ Public Assembly 12/10/09

$tinkworx, a.k.a. JT Stewart, grew up in rural upstate New York in the Albany area. Being the son of an infamous record collector; Mike Stewart (to this day operating one of the highest regarded rare record shops in the world), music was constantly heard in the Stewart home. JT decided he wanted to try to make some electronic music. Luckily he received a vintage analog synthesizer (a Roland JX8P) as a gift from his parents. He acquired a cheap drum machine and more pieces of equipment and started making songs. He sent them to his favorite labels, and received overwhelmingly responses from Morgan Geist (Metro Area) at his Environ label, and from Russ Gabriel (Ferox). But having only cheap recording equipment and little money, it would be a while before any $tinkworx material being released.

Reggie Dokes – The Golden Years EP [DEEPEX018]

The Golden years EP represents the special tribute that Deep Explorer make to Psychostasia Records, one of the most influential labels of the underground house of this age. The EP opens the fire with Reggie Dokes that plays with the tribal electronics in his completely new song called “Mother Africa” and its exactly what the title suggest, a tribal journey through the machines into the continent. In the same side the EP continues rescuing a lost track from Eric Johnson planned for a new Psychostasia but because the big pause of the label in 2006 the precious rhodes and tribal percussion of “In 2 deep” never saw the light. In the B side we afront the personal tribute that Dubbyman makes to the Psychostasia label creating two remixes but in a different way never seen before; taking samplers from many songs included in the Psychostasia catalogue to create new collage versions from one of the first songs edited in Psychostasia in 2001: the classic “Black thoughts” and “Mother africa” the ultimate song from Reggie Dokes. The first one called “deep in the hole mix” rides the 4×4 rhythm into a neverending deep climax. The “tribute mix” pitch down the tempo in a kaleidoscope of different sounds like a musical collage. Of course that the remixes are a wink to the Psychofans but also is a perfect time to discover the sound …through Deep Explorer….

Lowtec - Angstrom EP

Since the 90’s Lowtec is a reliable source for good deep techno tracks. And this time its no different … probably the tempo is a bit slower then 10 years ago… but the quality went up. Together with his Workshop release probably our favorite Lowtec sofar.
