The line-up for the second remix EP after the successful and now deleted Regis / Monoton remixes 12 represents a wide catalogue of electronic beats. LA owns Tropic Of Cancer delivers a great ethereal version of Half A God. Camella Lobo provides a rare remix. Former Ike Yard member and synths wizard Fred Szymanski also reinterprets Half A God with a unique musique concrte inspired electronica piece under his Recombinant guise. On the B side its club time with a long, Detroit inspired techno version of Cherish 8 by Arnaud Rebotini, head honcho of Black Strobe.

German producer Markus Suckut has built quite a following, thanks to his distinctive, raw and reduced modern techno sound. Now he presents his debut full length, ‘DNA’, on Figure. ‘DNA’ goes even further in making a statement on his sound. There’s something of the classic German minimal techno lifeblood flowing through this album, and over 11 tracks (8 on the the double vinyl release) we are guided through very precise, tense and effective exercises in basement techno minimalism.

Najem Sworb makes his debut on the Clone Basement Series. A release that shows the core of the Clone Basement series, nothing fancy, trendy or hype. Just the sincere basics of techno that make people gather in dark basements for over 2 decades now. An almost ritual tradition of techno music. Primitive and refined at the same time.

“Every producers dream is to one day complete and release a full length album. After a string of well received 12inch singles on my own label, Emphasis Recordings, and most recently, on labels like Aesthetic Audio, Machining Dreams, Syncrophone, and Dolly, I thought now is the time to start realizing that dream of the full length album.”

For the second installment of the Stallions saga, Bosconi Records entrusts the fate of the muscular thoroughbred Neged. The stallion is flanked by five stallions at an older age and with four tracks have a responsibility to drive the seductive ride, set synergy between Uk, bass and balearic sounds. The first maximum weight is A Guy Called Gerald, with a melodic and other times The Diehold Thu, following close behind Altered Natives that lay snares for between environments dreamy and epic of The Legend Of Neglect. The B-side turns on a wide range of positive feelings derived from spatial Testacorta melodies, written by Alex Picone and Mass Prod aka Brothers in Low, and Virata Rupa by Eduardo della Calle, who is a great travel companion for a ride reached only half of the final goal.

The first Forbidden Planet release, featuring D’Marc Cantu with some Autistic and weird chicago-jak madness. DVS1 is on remix duties.

After delivering Absurd Recordings with its first Acid Test in 2011, Tin Man lines up some more acid for Pomelo. For DJs in search of drum track acid techno, “UR”, is a good start. Taking a break from acid, but remaining on the drum trax tip, “Stay Down”, is a brooding and synthy production that keeps itself from straying to close to the red – a perfect DJ tool for more reasons than just functionality.
