Lushly finished, almost pastoral Techno grooves from the unknown quantity, Cajun Hardt. One side is more moody, the other sweetly melancholy, but both with super crisp, twirling synthline and unusual, Latinized drum programming.

D’Marc Cantu – How Are We Doing? EP [MOSDEEP008]
Next up in the 10” series on MOS_deep another heavy 2-tracker of D’Marc Cantu, which will be followed by a (mini)-album later this year. The opening track is a fierce Chicago-styled banger kicking off with an extremely solid and frantic bassline while D’Marc’s low-pitched voice asks us “How Are We Doing?”. “A Second Earth” is a laid-back and emotional retro-futuristic techno track overflowing with sadness and melancholy, echoing the sounds of the artificial-intelligence era.

JS aka James Zeiter – JS-04 [JS004]
Prime dub techno from JS Zeiter. There’s no denying his affections for Basic Channel here, reverently prostrating himself at their altar with the pulsing kicks and wafting dub chords on the A-side. However, with the simple addition of shuffled snares on the flip, the formula results in a towering techno colossus, subtly modulated from start to finish for proper heavy effect.
