Basic Soul Unit – Deep Diving EP [NK029]
Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit with 4 new cuts of submerged bass excursions for Nouveau Kanada. All tracks sound distinctly raw and heavy, but with modern nods to UK bass and spatial elektro. Stuart’s deep appreciation of dusty house grooves shines through on all tracks – but his treatment of the lead cut Deep Diving pays homage to those dope Dance Mania B-sides of yore.

VA – Untitled [REPITCH000]
The debut release for the Repitch label, with three dark techno tracks from Ascion, D. Carbone and Shapednoise. A dark and heavily industrial sound takes the listener on a journey made of metallurgical plants and hypnotic post-apocalyptic scenario. On side A, we have one track signed by Ascion. A train sound that travels through dark landscapes, narrow and foggy. Side B opens with the track signed by D. Carbone . This time the train goes directly into the darkness ..sounds of the whip show that the punishment for those who listen will be heavy. Side B ends with the track signed by Shapednoise and now the train fell into nothingness! As a clock, the heavy rhythmic “breaks” marks the final minutes of a trip ..definitely ended up in the darkest part of the planet.

First up is Frenchman Marcelus who offers a heavy house and techno fusion, before London’s Sigha goes deep and ominous.

Delta Funktionen goes deep and dramatic, Peter Van Hoesen offers up his usual dub-wise textures, whilst Lindau pairs icy hi-hats with a heavy stomping beat. Sawlin offers the trippiest techno with his delightfully disheveled ’Excipidial’ and closes out what is an essential.

Cestrian / Perseus – Annihilator [FFLASH002]
Ali Renault dons his Cestrian outfit once again for some equally momentous movements for the Future Flash imprint. “Annihilator” surely ranks in the upper echelons of apt titles as Renault explodes into a frenzy of spazmoid analogue rhythms from the off. Spectral flourishes and bubbling textures keep it interesting and it all rides on top of a pummelling aqua techno groove. The aforementioned spectral elements are expanded on by Perseus Traxx on an eerie electro refix that displays all the producers’ talent for eking every last drop of lysergia out of analogue machinery.
