Secret Studio – Grime Time [SCS002]

February 20, 2015January 13, 2026 hipodromebryan balli, d-wynn, house, secret studio, secret studio records, techno, tyrel williamsLeave a comment

Secret Studio releases their second 12″ on SS Records, “Grime Time” with a remix by D-Wynn. SCS02 is a tough, dark, acid bassline track that rolls over slightly distorted 707 drums. A heavy kick fills the room with echo like tones coming from somewhere deep below the surface. D-Wynn’s remix brings the original to a classier place in time. Big throwback strings, original bassline work and classic House drums. For Donna Mash Up is inspired by a Secret Studio Dj set. Recreating a live mash up moment that rode Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” over the dark acid bassline and drums of Grime Time.

Marco Bernardi – Laffer Ep part 1 [BAR002.1]

February 19, 2015December 6, 2023 hipodromeacid, barba records, burek, electro, marco bernardi, technoLeave a comment

Archetypal Detroit electro techno taken to the next level by Mr. Bernardi on Burek sub label Barba. Bernardi delivers a double album worth of ideas, spread among 2 releases. The first half of the release is very much in the robots-having-an-argument rather than the peaceful-cosmic-journey vein. The tracks feature abrupt changes, stabbing asymmetrical rhythms, multiple layers of sound and a darker moodier feel.

Glasgow’s Clan Destine Records present the fourth volume of the essential Dark Acid series. As you’d expect, the included material is as trippy, intense and left-of-centre as you’d expect. Canadian producer Khotin kicks things off with “Tsoi”, a deep, psychedelic acid shuffler that builds incessantly towards a breathless climax. Varg’s “Ultra Acid” takes things up further via ghetto-tech inspired beats and icy melodies, before Kid Who drops a twisted chunk of midtempo acid chug (the delightfully claustrophonic “Gap Related Injury”). Finally, Becoming Real’s Toby Ridler and Golden Teacher/General Ludd man Richard McMaster join forces for “Terminator”, as intense an acid track as you’re likely to find.

Debut EP by Slugbug, with four tracks of dark electronic hybirds made for the open minded dj and club-goer. Somewhere between the blurred lines of new wave tinged beat tracks, off-kilter electro and psycho-house this record is made to make you work and the club sweat.

February 16, 2015May 13, 2015 hipodromebleak, naura records, santiago naura, technoLeave a comment

The debut release for Naura Records comes from Bleak. “Rampage” is an explosive toolish techno tune, that submerges in a dark but atmosferic radiance with heavy pulsating drums and bass lines that engulfes into total deepness. “Chase” on the flippside is another straight forward thinking production, that overcomes with overdimensional chords and with an intelligent funky sequence that wraps you in again and again.

Jaures – Shtum 006 [SHTUM006]

February 15, 2015October 20, 2023 hipodromehouse, jaures, shtum records, techno, uncanny valleyLeave a comment

With the sixth record, shtum continues to introduce fresh artists with different perceptions on what Techno is about. “Detitled” starts a trip to the dirty corners of your city. The track is loaded with punchy drum attacks and despite its dusty basses and synths, it doesn’t lose its slightly melancholic vibe. “Davos” runs in the same vein with Jaures squeezing floating sounds out of their machines for a wild ride through the urban jungle. On the flip side “Nascent” starts gloomy and uncompromising before it builds up slowly until Jaures’ rusty trademark synths are revealed. Finally, you’ll get a “Reprise” to highlight all their sound research elements.

February 15, 2015November 8, 2023 hipodromealeqs notal, barbara ford, clekclekboom recordings, ff/nsd, french fries, house, jean nipon, nsdos, technoLeave a comment

A solid piece of wax with different weapons including already known ClekClekBoom producers and extended family. For this first volume, French Fries teams up with NSDOS on a hypnotic jam, bringing Chicago’s percussive legacy in a 90’s NYC ballroom. Then we got Aleqs Notal going deep with a new batch of his lunar material where tripping synths meet spaced out hi-hats. On the flip Jean Nipon provides his drummer background to display some infectious rhythms colliding with a shuffling syncopated bass, while Barbara Ford takes us through a heavy mesmerizing acid jam tunnel. Overall a deep and yet club-material experience representing perfectly what ClekClekBoom has to offer today.

Levon Vincent – Levon Vincent [NS009] FREE DOWNLOAD

February 13, 2015February 26, 2020 hipodromealbum, free download, free tracks, house, levon vincent, novel sound, technoLeave a comment

Levon Vincent chose to announce the release of his long-await debut album by drip-feeding information on social media. The subsequent meltdown among the online techno community may have been amusing to watch, but is testament to the Berlin-based New Yorker’s impact over the last 10 years. Typically, concrete info has remained thin on the ground aside from the fact it stretches across some four slabs of vinyl and features a homage to Levon’s cat Mona. Just before the physical copies were due for release, Vincent elected to give out the 11 track LP digitally for free so it’s highly likely you know how it sounds already. If you are a true advocate of his output you’ll want this quadruple wax edition! Next-level house and techno dedicated to the “ugly ducklings of the world”!

Joey Anderson – 1974 [DKMNTL023]

The art of omission is a craft New Jersey native Joey Anderson masters like few others. After releasing an acclaimed debut album in 2014, Anderson returns to the Dekmantel label serving up the signature sound we love him for. With the 1974 EP, he continues his modern day techno odyssey investigating the outskirts of the genre, while focusing on details and unexpected twists. Serving up dense melodic structures, intense chord progressions and unique but relentless drum programming and sounds, Anderson shows that the future of techno is bright, original and full of energy.

‘White of the Eye’ is the first release under “Nothing but Blood” from Scott Fraser, a direct link back to Scott’s earlier 90’s work and sound around the darker realms of techno and harder-edged Chicago house. The EP title refers back to a favourite Donald Cammell film of Scott’s from 88′. ‘White of the Eye’ on the A-side is an 11 minute extended mix of the lead cut. Silent Servant on remix duties delivers an amyl fuelled techno bomb landing somewhere in an 80’s new york basement. Diving deeper on B2 it features Atlanta resident Claire Elise Tippins on vocals.
