As uncompromising as youd expect, the four tracks on offer display the work of a producer working intuitively with the machines he surrounds himself with, a relentless pulse ever present at the core of these abrasive workouts.

This is the first EP of Aleqs Notal, a boy who spent his early years in the heat and sand of Saudi Arabia, but then decided to take some dust with him and throw it in our ears.

While it sounds calm on the surface, theres a lot of restrain angst hiding behind, convulsing all along this mental tracks.

DJ Spider & Franklin De Costa – Genetically Modified Tracks [KILLEKILL016]

January 22, 2014May 10, 2023 hipodromedj spider, franklin de costa, killekill, technoLeave a comment

Berlin operation Killekill continue where they left off with their impressive releases last year, with Genetically Modified Tracks the end product of pairing DJ Spider and Franklin De Costa together. Rhythmically, Spider and De Costa don’t stray far from the 4/4 template but it’s what occurs around it that’s so memorable. It’s no more apparent than on “Buzzsaw” where a sticky wooden block style rhythm is made all the more viscous by the thick bass line, muffled vocals and blurred jazz licks that cloak the channels. Elsewhere “The Unseen” is perhaps the most straight up dancefloor number, underpinned by a sense of impending gloom, which is a sensation shared with the post apocalyptic rumble of opening track “Slithis”.

The Californian Vereker has a CCCP and a couple of the very best LIES, but this stomping, grisly, suspenseful, four-track assassination tops the lot. You get plenty more prep and purpose, and a load more killing.

Eshu – Chlore EP [ESHU006]

January 18, 2014January 12, 2017 hipodromedaniël lekatompessy, eshu, eshu records, ivano tetelepta, jocelyn abell, minimal techno, technoLeave a comment

The ESHU label waste little time in matching their 2013 output, issuing a sixth 12″ that sees Roger Gerressen, Jocelyn Abell, Daniel Lekatompessy and Ivano Tetelepta working together under the titular banner across four tracks. Taking a particularly Millsian approach to proceedings, there’s a sense of focus demonstrated that hints the Eshu collective is only getting stronger. The mood varies too with the A Side split evenly between the stripped back and alien on “Cesium” and the creeping and hypnotic “Sulfur” whilst on the flip “Mercury” is one track you could imagine the likes of Dettmann or Rodhad pulling for. The title track closes out the EP on a more downbeat note, with crawling textures offering the minimal amount of forward momentum amidst a foggy coating of static.
