Operator – Cala Serena [IT069]

February 28, 2025February 28, 2025 hipodromeilian tape, operator, rich jones, technoLeave a comment

Rich Jones is the man behind Operator and he’s been making increasingly potent waves with his own label Gnosis Records as well as outings on Singular Records. This outing on Munich’s Ilian Tape is a great example of his sound: ‘Mall To Beach ’80’ is vamping chords and hammering hits over hunched up drums, ‘Deliberate’ cuts more loose but is still a brilliantly loopy workout and ‘Wanderer’ brings thrilling, high-speed tech that skates on daddy drums and is wired up with electricity. ‘Sector Seven’ shuts down with more airy and floating rhythms.

French DJ and producer The Hacker debuts on Radio Slave’s Rekids. The two-track ‘Laser & Smoke’ EP harkens back to The Hacker’s early 90s roots in Detroit-inspired Electro & Techno. First, he starts with ‘Turborave’, a tasteful, bleepy cut with an unignorable bassline and muted dub chords that wash over its snappy groove. ‘Turborave’ is the kind of heads-down, lose-yourself danceﬂoor moment for the later hours before ‘Harmonia’ sees The Hacker play with high-voltage cables on the B-side. Charged-up zaps and zippy acid call and respond while bodied drum hits keep the rhythm moving, whistles and pads occasionally joining in.

Schrödinger’s Box welcome Catalonia’s Adrian Marth into the fold. The Iberian artist has been drawing crowds and turning heads with his analogue inspired productions and dancefloor inhibitions. This five tracker sees the Italo Moderni founder explore the glittering angles and brooding shadows of his machines. The punishing percussion and beaming laser lights of “Labyrinth Mind” give way to the tumbling drums and racing synthlines of the addictive “Sex Tonight.” The flip opens with the sleazy grandeur of “Beverly Hills”, looming melodies and retro flourishes combine in this operatic ode to the 1980s. Speaking of the 80s, the inspiration for the penultimate comes from a figure who symbolised the bombastic bravado of the era. “Divine on the Late Show 88” is a tribute to the Pink Flamingos legend, beats sparkle as her sequenced dresses and larger-than-life attitude screams into the present. Danny Wolfers takes the helm to close. Donning his familiar Legowelt moniker, the behemoth of all things electronic delivers a saturated and spiralling rework of “Divine on the Late Show 88” to the close.
