With this ‘Merovingienne ep’, I:Cube arrives at the synthesis. The influences are there, seminal: mental techno and creepy funk mate to give birth to sublimes bastards. A dirty sound, and chiseled structures, which reveal a little more each listening.

Slower paced abstract techno with a phat irresistible groove on the sweet Modern Love label from Andy Stott.
Mikkel Metal – Passenger EP [ECHOCORD044]
Mikkel Metal aka Mikkel Meldgaard is back on Echocord with a new powerfull “Passanger Ep”. Mikkel Metal tries to explore new facets of his sound and take a detour from the dub-technom, that’s his usual trademark. While obviously still retaining a “Metal”-signature, there’s an opening towards a more raw dirty detroit sound here, that’s clearly new to his production.
SIT – Sculptures Part 2: Year 3000 [JLY0196]
Jesus Loved You presents SIT, the new project from Romanians youngsters Vlad Caia and Cristi Cons. What really SIT represents for Vlad and Cristi is their fusion of characters under one definition. It’s a platform where two music people, with totally different background and skills in electronic music and not only, will experiment and discover the form and color that suits them best in the work they do.The idea is to focus on creating something dynamic and exploring new possibilities with every track while maintaining an original identity.

Ribn – Light Black [MILD006]
The title track is a mesmerizing house/techno hybrid of colorful darkness, reminiscent of classic early RIBN releases. Meandering synths and hypnotic sounds fragment and crawl around a stomping beat with the bass moving things forward irresistibly.
Tangula – Descending I – IV [2-DIAM]
The second release on Diametric continues to form the sound of the label with music by Tangula, a project by a well known artist around the deep techno scene. As both the artist and the label agree that techno should be faceless, the focus for this EP is not on names and faces. Enjoy a release full of deepness, melodies that are melancholy but also driving beats, funk and futurism.
