Etapp Kyle – Continuum EP [UTON008]

March 17, 2016December 12, 2025 hipodromeetapp kyle, minimal techno, ostgut ton, untertonLeave a comment

As with his previous releases Etapp Kyle captures his playful, multi-layered Techno endeavours with single-word track titles: Continuum EP starts off with Opto, an atmospheric track with fazing bleeps, ensouled synths and subdued claps – a prime example of his great feel for musical detail. Ahora builds upon this vibe with more asynchronous drum patterns, well placed drips of melody, distant pulses, mesmerizing pads and hints of rattles amongst other percussion. The EPs title track Continuum is distinctive through its use of industrial hammer jabs and reduced, puzzling synth pads that are counteracted by a more dominant, steady and stubborn kick drum. Limb contrasts unconventional pulsating, hypnotic synth tones with sharp claps and snare sounds, and rounds off this 12“ of all new, puristic and futurist Techno, catering as much to the darker corners as to the brightest spots of the dance floor.

March 1, 2016July 19, 2022 hipodromeadam craft, endlec, invite's choise, invite's choise records, jeroen search, minimal techno, techno, tntusLeave a comment

Invite’s Choice Records starts 2016 with a bang and releases another 4-track EP with 4 different tracks by 4 great artists. Jeroen Search has the honour of opening the EP with a four to the floor track which gets you with it’s sporadic melodramatic sting. Perfect for switching between the more deeper and more straightforward parts of your set. Adam Craft continues with a loop-track which is built around it’s powerful and deep bass. Thessaloniki based Endlec is responsible for the first track of the B-side and comes up with a track dominated by it’s percussive yet simple drive and a synthy vibe which, together with it’s short length, draws you in and sends you off in another direction quite soon. TNTUS closes the EP with a track that fits Invite’s style quite well; a drumcomputer-driven track complimented with a chaotic, repetitive synth: madness guaranteed!

30drop Records announce the fourth release of its project, under the same name. “History of Gods” is an EP that envelopes us in a rhythmic spiral, taking us straight to the dance floor of the space. Four amazing tracks: three originals and a remix by the historic technomaster Steve Rachmad, as Sterac. The festive opening vibration of “Transversal Sight”, the schizoid cosmic rhythm of “History Of Gods”, from the prism of 30drop or based on the vision of Sterac, and the galactic depth of “Complex Entropy” all define a solid work that takes us to the very depths of sacred geometry.

Binny – Shlaguance EP [CLFT010]

February 13, 2016August 25, 2016 hipodromeadam cummings, binny, clft, minimal techno, technoLeave a comment

Electronic Body Techno with a touch of cosmic-retroesque Axis atmosphere by Liverpudlian Binny. “Rotate” not only features all the usual hallmarks of the early Purposemaker sound, such as overdriven kick, clattering/rusty high-hats and grinding SH-101 basslines: it even features improvised snare rolls that you’d hear The Wizard himself playing live! “Spirit” matches the icon’s new found love of the 303, but no doubt Binny’s own take on the sound, that’s a given. On the flip “TG-33” sounds like another segment from Live At The Liquid Room complete with DX7 organ stabs and more epic 909 drum rolls. Some pretty epic stuff on here that stands out from the rest of the current tributes.

ABSTRACT DIVISION - Contemporary Spaces

Reflection is beginning 2016 with the long awaited return of Abstract Division to their native imprint, by the release of their first ever double EP: Contemporary Spaces. Not set out to be an album, but certainly being more than just an EP, Contemporary Spaces explores the current state of techno, providing the listener with wayward and timeless pieces drawing their inspiration from the broad spectrum of electronic music. Yet, while each individual track stands in its own place and time within this spectrum, the EP as a whole compliments the diversity of past, present and future influences and styles. Contemporary Spaces is one of their most extensive and widely aimed projects to date and solely consists of original material.
