Black Merlin – Cabinet Whore Mix
techno
VA – World Of Rubber 1 [RUBBER001]
Rubber is a new label from The Hague with a motley mixture of off-radar electronix for both the experimental clubber and home listener. Rubber001 is a bold three-tracker. Mannequin Records head-honcho Alessandro Adriani hits the nail on the head with his secret weapons. Secondly, reigning from Finland, 0.5W pans across the room like running with titanium scissors. The cherry on top is this piece of Dutch drum-laden ”poetry”, probably on illegal medication, about a bicycle mechanic from The Hague by legends Unit Moebius, Reverend Cor Gout and Salo Mentale.
Drvg Cvltvre – The Right Knife In The Right Back [PIV001]
Tilburg based producer Drvg Cvltvre did another outstanding job. Four extremely mean tracks ment for bombing dark basements, nasty party’s and late get togethers. New label based in Berlin ran by Rotterdam producer Charlton / Tapirus together with Nick Dunton.
Vactrol Park – I [ESP026A]
Vactrol Park is an honest outpouring of thematic obsession, a celebration of championed studio components and the mastery of their nuance, an avant garde collaboration between Kyle Martin (Land of Light, Spectral Empire) and Guido Zen (Gamers in Exile, Brain Machine). Simply entitled “I” (the first of a 2 part series), this debut EP opens the door to a world of ebb and flow, layers of oscillation falling in and out of sync, keeping us on the brink of vertigo and, as cliché as it may sound, we find solace in its chaos. This homogeneous release plays with the notions of systems as beautifully symbolized Mario Hugo’s capsule of cardiology—yet another visually arresting module in the ESP Institute catalogue.
Umwelt – When Future And Past Collapse [NF016]
New Flesh Records presents the return of infamous Umwelt delivering another collectible output on his own electro label. Much anticipated “When Future And Past Collapse” combines firing snares with rolling 808 kicks, acid lines, sub-bass and driving futuristic melodies, all packed in this sophisticated EP. Umwelt’s aesthetics and dystopian vision has never been so dazzling. Expect nothing but depths, terrific tales, and authentic secrets about the origins of mankind in this must have five-tracker.
Tom Dicicco – Mad Dealer [OMR007]
No Nonsense jagged-edged deepness. Young gun Tom Dicicco kills it with these two slices of strobe light euphoria for those dance floor moments when you forget where you are.
19.94 / Cosmin TRG – Narr Day [50WEAPONS040]
50Weapons begins its finale with the first of 11 12″s, catalog numbers 40 through 50, featuring a 50Weapons artist on one side and another artist, chosen by the first, on the B-side. “Narr Day” is the first tune ever made by one of Berlin’s key electronic acts; all the flavors of the early days are combined in this minimal ambient techno tune made of the three main ingredients: a bass, a drone, and a kick drum. Cosmin TRG uses the dark drone of “Narr Day” as the base for his modular-synthesizer-enhanced rework of the track. Dark and trippy techno for the head.
A Made Up Sound – Stumbler / Syrinx [AMS007]
First part of the ace new A Made Up Sound double drop on his own label. Two pieces of his signature stutterfunk with the machines slowed down to a midtempo drift. Stumbling on the A-side, slamming on the B-side.
Boston 168 – Black Hole EP [INV009]
Involve continues with a huge acid loaded weapon by Boston 16. Trippy hypnotic acid techno tracks.
FTP-Up / Brighton – Brothers [777004]
777 Recordings presents a special split-ep by two new exciting talents from Croatia, FTP-Up and Brighton.
VA – Five Years On Parole: What’s Happening [UV030]
Believe it or not but Uncanny Valley looks back on five years of releasing records this summer. Instead of just turning into the typical Greatest hits-routine the label heads Albrecht, Carl, Conrad and Philipp decided to look back and forth. So, besides a record that unleashes four tracks from the vaults of these five years there will be a record with new material too. Here’s “Uncanny Valley: Five Years On Parole – what’s happening”. Tracks by Chinaski, Derive (Sneaker and June), Panthera Krause and Iron Curtis.
Marco Bernardi – The Dancing Clowns [BH022]
The forever under-rated Marco Bernardi steps out on Berceuse Heroique with this fifteen-minute epic, evoking the glory days of Carl Craig. On the flip, Specter from Sound Signature draws the dancefloor in deep.
TMO – Insomniac EP [PP012]
Munich purveyors of fine new wave Balearic are it again with a release this time with TMO (aka Moscow’s Lepelis who has previously appeared on L.I.E.S. and 303 State) with the Insomniac EP. First track “Melodic Jam” sounds like a disturbed cover of Frankie Knuckles “The Whistle Song” albeit with some epic mono-synth spitting out the melody instead, soon turning into gnarly acid. On the flip we have “Jam IV” which goes for a more lo-fi, dusty deep house vibe. A dark and paranoid after-hours jam whose slow burning glory turns into snarling acid euphoria just like the track before it.

Delta Funktionen – Wasteland – Chapter IV: Lifewater Oasis [RAM-X-06]
Jeff Mills – Exhibitionist 2 – Part 2 [AX068]
The second installment of 12” EP from “Exhibitionist 2” DVD+CD. All the tracks are created by Jeff Mills during the session in the Studio Mix in the DVD, where the audience can see and learn how Jeff Mills produces tracks.
BNJMN – Skur EP [J101]
Dutch powerhouse Creme Organization started a brand new label entitled Jericho One. The man behind the first EP is Berlin based Brit BNJMN. Opener ‘Skur’ is a hurried techno jam with frosty textures and bleak industrial vibes. It sets the vibe for the total feeling of the EP which is way more floor facing compared to BNJMN’s earlier productions. This is a truly out there and wild EP that once again finds BNJMN experimenting on the outer fringes of the techno world in his own unique, distorted way.
M//R – No Tag No Food EP [DTLSND005]
M//R aka Billy Werner is back with a strong bundle of four tracks, steadily making his mark on the scene of contemporary techno. This record is a proper electronic weapon, from the slowed down pounding impulse of total burner ‘No Tag No Food’ to the suspended rhythm of atmospheric ‘Idyll’ which brings the listener into a gravity-free dimension.
Klankman – Klankman [TH002]
The Greek / Dutch label Tar Hallow sets on after the label’s maiden voyage by Super Unknown. More poundy basement tracks as we dig them by Bunker alleviate Klankman.
