The Parallel is back with three deep techno tracks that mark the start of an interplanetary trilogy for the Komisch label. ‘Exopshere’ takes up where his Komisch debut left off, with foreboding, dub-tinged chords building into a menacing climax and swarms of driving, razor sharp percussion keeping the arrangement focused on the dancefloor. ‘Deep End’ explores more esoteric sounds, with swirling, layered chords underpinned by dubbed out drums, heavy claps and hissing percussion, while ‘Analogue City’ brings a mellow end to the release.

Steve Rachmad – Fruit Of The Room [WOLF021]

Steve Rachmad makes his first vinyl shaped appearance of the year on the Wolfskuil imprint, delivering some decidedly alien sounds on “Fruit Of The Room”. Stripped back in its approach, the title tracks commences with an outer galactic analogue rhythm wrapped around tightly wound bass drums and grows with crunching percussive finesse before dropping into the rubbery excellence of the bassline. The flipside “Flute Of The Loom” builds from a droney analogue pulse into a skittering, main room mind alterer of the highest standard.

Gerald Mitchel of Los Hermanos fame comes with his own label handled from his hometown Detroit! G.M.I. Gerald Mitchel International. Pure Detroit techno in the best tradition of the Motor city. Title track ‘Baby Ohh’ is a uplifting track that radiates Detroit techno funk combined with slightly housier vibes. ‘Funktropolis’ and ‘Resurrection 2011’ are essential tracks for everyone who loves that Los Hermanos Knights of the Jaguar sound.

VA – Revisited EP [MODULARZ004]

Modularz returns with another split 12″. The Revisited EP opens with the wonderfully unhinged techno of “Revister” by Developer. Also on the A-Side is a boasting remix of Developer’s “Edificio” by the aforementioned Silent Servant, which chugs along with rasping hats and cavernous low frequencies. On the flip side, Fanon Flowers presents the moody late night jack of “Prado Obscuro” and this is accompanied by the thick loopy melodies of Developer’s “More Seduction”.
