Head Front Panel – HFP 14 [HFP014]

Proper banging techno by Head Front Panel aka John Heckle. Relentless analogue techno tracks rooted in the early and mid 90’s styles. Intense, atmospheric, bass heavy, percussive, raw techno gems for the dancefloor. Includes beautifully crafted + absorbing ambient interludes. A definite nod to Jeff Mills 90’s Axis / Waveform Transmissions.

Head Front Panel – HFP #9 [HFP009]

Brilliant energetic techno tracks with 90’s aesthetics. Last one in the Head Front Panel series according the label. Head Front Panel has demonstrated the sheer diversity one can achieve within techno if you are as talented as Merseysider John Heckle.

Head Front Panel – HFP #8 [HFP008]

Should you desire techno that sounds like it’s sampled an ongoing laser battle in some sci-fi B movie, head straight for the opening track on this eighth edition of the Head Front Panel series from Tabernacle. The track is overflowing with laser like samples, expertly EQed into some form of forward momentum over tumbling kicks and malfunctioning modular synthetics. Following this, “Track 2” will appeal to anyone that is an advocate of the recent Population One material whilst the full on thrust of the third track may sound familiar to those that lock into the Hessle Rinse show. To close matters there is a touch of the Sun God about the final track, though the execution is done with a dash more clarity than you get from Jamal Moss.

Head Front Panel – HFP #7 [HFP007]

It’s magnificent number seven for the Head Front Panel series on a 12″ that feature four potent untitled techno tools of varying shades. As ever it’s pointless to waste air debating who is behind the music, but they certainly know how to bend minds on the basis of this record. Hurried Martian rhythms characterise the opening track, offering a distinct contrast to the unhinged almost Bunker levels of craziness that unfolds on the track that follows. The third production takes matters a bit deeper, though those drums still kick and the final track is the craziest of the lot.
