Dustin Zahn makes a return to the techno label Blueprint with his latest titled ‘Temporary Vandalism’. ‘Catharsis’ is a metallic sounding banger that thrives on driving the tension to an all-time pitch – all the making of a classic techno record. ‘Rotator’ adds a bit more of a tribal sound to the looped style killer. The title track goes full tribal reminding us of classic Oliver Ho material. ‘Conduit Of Chaos’ is perhaps our favorite of the lot with the classy ever-changing rhythm and incessant pressure that continues to rise. For many, Blueprint is the example of proper techno – and that’s a theory that’s backed up by this dancefloor ammunition.

VARIOUS - Fuga II

Token returns with the second instalment of Fuga. Spread across eight tracks once more, the release continues in the same vein as its predecessor presenting a collection of reduced techno recordings in equal parts atmospheric as they are functional. Fuga II provides a continuation of the motifs and constructions explored in the first entry, advancing them to some degree and introducing new characters to Token, whilst maintaining a sense of cohesion within the series itself, and the label as a whole.
