Maarten van der Vleuten – Internaut EP [SHIP019]

March 12, 2013March 11, 2013 hipodromedetroit, electro, maarten van der vleuten, shipwrec records, technoLeave a comment

Maarten van der Vleuten, one of the godfathers of Dutch Techno and a true electronic music pioneer, on Shipwrec serves up his own recipe for Electro in the form of the ‘Internaut EP’. The title piece takes the rhythmic mould of the 808 but shifts the floorboards with industrial soundscapes and UK Techno sidesteps framing. A morphing and melting piece of otherworldly Electronics, over ten minutes of shifting synthsizer sands. “Holographic Inserts” lands with terse clips and pulsing basslines before a rumbling analogue chord breaks the surface. Warbling bulwarks of space meet clinical lines in an immense track of expansive proportions. An epic of atmospheric, sinister and sharp sounds; a style pushing the boundaries of Electro.

Vae Victis can’t hide their love and passion for raw house and techno.

Terekke – Yyyyyyyyyy [LIES021]

March 8, 2013March 7, 2013 hipodromehouse, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, techno, terekkeLeave a comment

Narrative, breathing, basement house with subtle morphing chords, heavy tape hiss, and an undeniable character that has been lost in much dance music. Again this record will be equally satisfying for home listening or calculated club play. Record comes complete with beautiful full color cardboard cover of some outerspace shit for you to zone out to while listening to the record, a bonus to say the least.

Philippe Petit – Give / Take [DMT001]

March 6, 2013February 12, 2014 hipodromedecision making theory, philippe petit, technoLeave a comment

The idea behind Decision Making Theory is to propose some stripped down no-nonsense techno, aimed directly at the dancefloor. DMT’s first one-sided 33 rpm colored vinyl release consists of two tracks by Knotweed Records owner Philippe Petit. ‘Give’ starts with some spaced-out chords and then shifts into a dubby Detroit inspired floor filler. The second track, ‘Take’, is a much darker heavy peak-time affair aimed at blowing the roof off!
