Florian Kupfer – Explora [TCLR003]

Florian Kupfer aligns with Fotomachine’s prospering Technicolour label and delivers four cuts that should be filed under ‘all killer, no filler’. First up “Explora (Slave)” gets all up in your face with its retro techno stomp but the chugging minimalist epic that is “Headpiece” is grinding, beatless affair. On the flip we have “Brute Force” which trances you out with its sinister analogue synth arpeggio; so simple but utterly effective. Finally there’s “Schpel” another experimental and atmospheric cut that is haunting as much as it is riveting.

Tapirus – Where Are We Heading [MNSX002]

TAPIRUS - Where Are We Heading

‘Where Are We Heading’ EP is a sequel to the stunning entry by Tapirus aka Charlton Ravenberg, and offers greater room for the artist to roam, breathe, flex and grow. The title track ‘Where Are We Heading’ questions the forward march by mankind with a Mr. Fingers touch providing pause in between the war. Offering up his interpretation on B2 is Credit 00, adding battle call drums and a kind of majesty, he rallies new life to the mix, pointing a way forward in this crazy collective experience we call life.

Art Crime – Renessense EP [CR1286]

The mysterious Art Crime is back with a new EP on Creme Organisation. It is a four track affair that continues to showcase the producer’s knack for ravey, texturally rich house and techno sounds with a rather haunting edge. ‘Anxiety is Always Here’ is a high tempo stomper with spooky pads and jangling, energetic melodies that reverberate in a dark night sky. ‘The Owner’ is rooted on firm kicks and has dark, lo fi atmospheres percolating all around as paranoid stabs and gothic keys rain down from above. ‘Renessense’ is then a rather more stripped back and groovy, deeper cut with slithering and icy hi hat patterns and sombre bass notes. Still, it retains a trance inducing sense of freakiness before closer ‘Intention’ close out the EP in lithe, soulful and hi tek techno fashion.

Pvre Matrix – Burning Sulfur [LIES027.5]

Danny Moore aka Pvre Matrix is from a generation of young techno producers out of Brooklyn who come at the music without preconcieved notions or boundaries in their approach to production and playing live. Impeccabily produced without losing its sense of urgency or brutality and clocking in at breakneck speed, Pvre Matrix is out for blood, and his three track debuts prove as such.
