New EP on DYFR Records, featuring two tracks by Baz Reznik. ”The Attic” is a deep Detroit style track with moody live played synths and drums. The ”Stopera” track is the first of a series of ”Guerilla tracks” which were composed in unusual places like basements, airports, beaches and park benches. With its mean jackin acid line and funky rhythm it is destined to move some feet.

Redshape – Son Of A… [PRESENT09]

Son Of A...

Redshape delivers two more top quality techno tracks on his own label Present. ‘Son Of A…’ brings back the freestyle craziness of the masked one. Going acid in the Redshape-way! ‘Kracken’s Game’ is more of a synthy slow builder – setting a densed atmosphere.

Tang – Bass Synergy [EMP010]

https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS428099-01A-MED.jpg
New release by Steven Tang on his label, Emphasis Recordings. Its been almost 2 years since the last Emphasis release, so its about time for a new one! The title track continues in that Chicago/Detroit vibe that we all come to know from Tang. It starts off with a bass heavy, industrial styled, drum programming before a pulsating bass comes riding along a funky melody. Just when you think you got the beef of the track, things break down to rumbling arppegiated bass roll. Them boom! Both basslines and percussion come back in for the finish! Did we mention there’s strings? Backing the main track on the flip, we have Drone and Synchronism. Originally given away as a free digital download, ”Drone” kicks off the b-side with it’s minimal, low end drums drowned in a delay effect and arppregiated bassline, subtly filtered through out this floor stomper. Rounding out the single is Synchronism, with it’s dark pad sound coupled with another arppregiated bassline and strings; very early 90’s Detroit techno vibe.

Mondo – Work Me Baby [DRH035]

https://i0.wp.com/imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS429050-01A-MED.jpg

Deeply Rooted House presents a nice piece of wax with 2 great tracks produced around 1994-1997  (recently discovered on DAT tapes), and 2 solid 2011 remixes. Rootstrax comes with an excellent mix that is an emotional deep take that really captures the emotion of the original and brings it to a much more mature and deep territory. The Marcelus mix gives us a much more radical, uncompromising Techno interepretation.
