EXIUM - The Unexpected (Front Cover)

Exium presents the follow-up on the great album “Roots of Time”. “The Unexpected” is an excellent take on the deeper side of techno, from the building energy on the 1st part with the lucious chords and wicked percussion to the dreamy sequence on the 3rd.

Conforce – Dystopian Elements EP [89DSR]

Preceding the release of his next full length album, Dutchman Conforce has selected four tracks to release as the Dystopian Elements EP. But don’t let the title fool you because, as is often the case with Boris Bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on Delsin.

Jeff Mills – 2087 [AXCD043]

https://i0.wp.com/imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS429044-01A-MED.jpg

Detroit heavyweight Jeff Mills has always been one of techno’s visionaries, prone to translating great concepts into near-cinematic soundscapes. Given techno’s roots, it’s no surprise that many of these concepts have been inspired by science fiction, and in particular obscure sci-fi films. Inspired by Franklin Adreon’s 1966 film Cyborg 2087, “2087” offers a dark and uneasy but at times brilliant mix of intense dancefloor techno, creepy electronica, woozy ambience and clunking IDM – all designed to mirror the cloying futurist horror of the original film.

Ozka – Phantomz [MOW009]

‘Phantomz’ is the work of Belgian producer Ozka aka David Nizet. The title track sets the tone for the rest of the release: a dark, dense serving of techno propelled by dense beats, relentless filters and a foreboding bassline, it effortlessly captures the sound of 6am in a darkened warehouse. Aubrey is providing a remix to close the EP.
