Terrence Dixon vs Population One – Concrete Environments EP [MODULARZ020]

This time, Dixon returns under his own name and under his most successful alias, Population One, on one split EP for Developer’s Modularz label. “Code Of Conduct” and “Concrete Playground” represent the Population One side, the first tune being a subdued kick filled with cavernous space above it while the latter is more classic Population One thanks to those bizarre melodic twists. Dixon serves up “Touching Bass” and “The Beholder” on the flip, two jazzy techno sculptures that are instantly recognizable as his own.

Developer & Stavislav Tolkachev – Part Two [MODULARZ008.2]

Cover art - Developer & Stavislav Tolkachev: Part Two

The second installment in Developer’s July emissions. “Dirty Drive” sees Developer stretching to work a melody into his machinery, coming out with a metallic dub chord drowning in its own echo, while “Dirty Drive 2” adds some complexity to the musicality and creates an utterly engrossing hook in the process. Shifted’s remix keeps a careful distance between the clean beat and the murky textures of the dubby elements, but for a real lesson in refined techno composition head straight to Stanislav Tokachev’s “Building Peaks”. Simplicity doesn’t come more captivating than that synth line.

Developer & Truncate – Part One [MODULARZ008.1]

Cover art - Developer & Truncate: Part One

With his Modularz label becoming a firm bastion of unfiltered techno machinations, Developer sets about bombarding our senses with his productions and curations across two vinyl releases this month. For the first part, his own “Heated” rattles through an industrial landscape devoid of colour, instead populated by reverb decays and distant clangs of metal. The rest of the record is handed over to Truncate, whose “Diffraction” flips the script with a central melodic hook and a thoroughly austere beat. Jonas Kopp’s remix beefs up that same theme by doubling up the phrase and edging towards a peak time monster, while Markus Suckut takes things deeper and into a more house compatible realm.
