Norwell’s new single on Dalmata Daniel’s DDE series, featuring two contrasting tracks. ‘Greta’, the A-side, is a bright and ethereal composition, reminiscent of his track Outer Delta Dynamics from the ODD EP, with uplifting synth melodies and a futuristic vibe. The B-side, ‘Hope’, takes a darker turn, offering a deeper, more melancholic tone, driven by bass-heavy synths that echo his previous electro oriented release that was meant for the dancefloors.

Trust the Rust is back with a vengeance. The second compilation by Kri Records takes up where the previous one left off: rusty electro, occult wave, distorted acid and melancholic EBM. Alonzo opens the release with his signature 808 bass, Hayter pushes pitched-down vocals and filthy electro vibe further, while Chino delivers a diabolical ravey EBM banger. Serbian duo YusYus marches on with an authoritative synth anthem Masters Of The Future and Disco Morato finishes the A side with a hypnotic slow burner Ultime. B Side opens with a bang by Parand, followed by arctic electro mist crafted by System Disorder (aka Dj Nephil). Marco Segato smoothly blended electro and jungle with the track Subconscious, Zagreb collective Lab Personnel’s dark stomper might evoke fist pumps on the floor, while E.L.I.’s nostalgic piece Atonal Being rounds the release.
MVQX bringing some fire from the Nothing Was There Records archives.
Brainwaves is an electronic music label from Geneva, Switzerland. ‘4818’ is an epic plunge into the world of Yolek, deploying a kit faithful to its influences: sharp drums with a hip-hop groove, steady bass guiding the trance and mysterious synth lines. The dark yet driving character of this first track also demonstrates the simplicity with which Yolek takes us along: every sample is in its place, nothing sticks out, and it’s strangely beautiful. ‘Alice Soundsystem’ continues in full force: with an electro-downtempo rhythm and a cliff-hanger arpeggio, the track develops a tension worthy of the most difficult investigations to solve. The obscure dance continues amidst interspersed vocals and oscillators, as Yolek’s machines unleash their full potential to solve this case.

Body Mechanic has been turning out definitive Motor City techno on solid labels like Cryovac, and GASS for several years. This time out he lands-on Detroit Techno and serves up, well, some electro. It’s classic 313 tackle though – heavy on the kicks, snappy snares and filthy dirty basslines that make you want to move. Ghoulish vocals add extra grit to the opener and from there ‘Dance’ gets more playful with jittery drum funk and scratching, ‘Beautiful Bum’ has a gorgeously tender and reflective vibe thanks to the minor chords and smooth electro rhythms, ‘Magic (feat Tay) ‘ slips into a deep and soulful house groove and ‘Househead’ is jacked up, loopy and well swung amongst several more timeless cuts.
Remastered 12” version of this all time classic from Detroit. Essential 303 electro techno from Underground Resistance. Raw, intense and one of the outstanding and unique records in Techno history.
