The Overlords – Organic? [MEC081]

March 26, 2024March 26, 2024 hipodromeadult, ebm, mecanica records, new beat, re-release, reissue, sven vath, techno, the overlordsLeave a comment

Re-release including all original tracks plus some bonus and remixes. The Overlords is a pioneer electronic project coming from Denmark. Rune Bendixen, Carsten Pedersen and Ian Ion started to work together in 1987 inspired by Front 242 and Adrian Sherwood’s electronic dub. The ever-cheaper samplers allowed the band to record their debut album ‘Midnight at the Grooveyard II’ (1988) and built their own studio The Grooveyard in Copenhagen. Next works started to get increasingly influenced by techno, new beat and innovative dance music. A new single ‘Moontrap’ (1990) appeared on Belgium’s Antler Subway Records and led The Overlords to collaborate with Kenneth Baker who remixed the next single and massive club hit ‘Sundown’ (1991). The full-length ‘Organic?’ (1991) came shortly after also on Antler Subway in Belgium, ZYX Records in Germany and reached America with Caroline Records.

Dustin Zahn – Temporary Vandalism EP [BP074]

March 24, 2024March 21, 2024 hipodromeblueprint records, dustin zahn, technoLeave a comment

Dustin Zahn makes a return to the techno label Blueprint with his latest titled ‘Temporary Vandalism’. ‘Catharsis’ is a metallic sounding banger that thrives on driving the tension to an all-time pitch – all the making of a classic techno record. ‘Rotator’ adds a bit more of a tribal sound to the looped style killer. The title track goes full tribal reminding us of classic Oliver Ho material. ‘Conduit Of Chaos’ is perhaps our favorite of the lot with the classy ever-changing rhythm and incessant pressure that continues to rise. For many, Blueprint is the example of proper techno – and that’s a theory that’s backed up by this dancefloor ammunition.
