JC / FP aka Jose Cabrera / Fred P – Determinism EP [SPMB001]
Commencing a new series for Fred P’s Soul People imprint, Jose Cabrera and Fred himself deliver four tracks of uncharacteristically tough rhythms that suggest an exploration of more driving, DJ-focused cuts compared to the luscious soulful tones normally found on the label. Cabrera takes up the A side, kicking off with the hefty throwdown of “General Relativity”, all thunderous kick, snagging hat and desolate bleep over a fearsome high-pitched tone. “Framework” is housier in its demeanour, but still packs a mean punch as it twists out a chunky chord line. Fred P’s “Quantum Effects” on the flip is a perfectly scattered techno excursion, both minimal and engaging at the same time. “String Theory” is more twitchy with its dextrous layers of percussion and discordant notes claging around in the distance, a far cry from the soothing lullabies he can often be found crafting.

Staffan Linzatti – The Biggest Mistake [SIGHTS004]
At the edge of failure a door to greater understanding and discovery is sometimes opened. Some of mankind ?s greatest discoveries and experiences took place by sheer coincidence or even by mistake. From the Big Bang, to Penicillin, or the “invisible light” we call x-rays, chance and human error has played a big part of our history and evolution as a species – can we really afford to be perfect when we owe our mistakes and weaknesses so much?
Staffan Linzatti – View From The Collapsing Centre [BALANS011]
Swedish futurist Staffan Linzatti has joined ranks with BALANS and he delivers 4 transmissions of alienating techno. Bleeps, haunting strings and off course 909 drummachines going mental. His work has always sounded unpredictable, brooding, dark and seem to follow musical rules from another realm. It’s as if these 4 tracks are delivered to us from a wormhole from the other side of the galaxy.

Terrence Dixon – Lost At Sea [SFTDX001]
Although Michigan is well inland from the North Atlantic Ocean, it doesn’t mean Detroit can’t make techno for the high seas or uncharted waters. Terrence Dixon’s Lost At Sea 12″ for the Surface label founded by Nick Dunton and the late Richard Polson sees four tracks of “Untitled” Detroit techno traverse through a sonic field of Joey Anderson and DJ Qu house drums, while saw-wavey Drexciyan qualities and Jeff Mills techno loops also circulate the EP. A deep and heady 12″ of U-boat rhythmics for the techno underground.
