Sudden Drop step it up a gear for their 1st release of 2011 with newcomer Bleak providing a double header of beats. ‘Isolated’ kicks things off in fine style with sleek, super phatt beats and a serious amount of pace. Throw in some tight production technique, a serious attention to groove and a fine palette of sounds and you have an impressive addition to any techno minded dj’s record box.

Jerome Sydenham – Trombipolution Pt. 2 [DC75.5]

Cover art - Jerome Sydenham: Trombipolution Pt. 2

It’s a swift return to Drumcode for Jerome Sydenham. “In The Zone” does what it says on the tin, swiftly locking into a brooding heads down techno groove, driven by intricate textured drums, scratched vocal effects and a singular synth throb that gradually increases with hypnotic intent as the track progresses. The flipside excursion “Amp” proves to be just as menacing a peak time proposition with a guttural bassline that twinges with evil intent sitting deep below crisp minimal drums and an undulating rhythmic buzz.

Kowton – She Don’t Jack [IDLE005]

https://media.hardwax.com/images/62483_01big.jpg

Taking the low end tradition of Bristol music and marrying it to a murky, swung 4/4 aesthetic, Kowton returns to Idle Hands with a 2 tracks EP. “She Don’t Jack” creeps into life with industrial textures before crisp, rigid claps and shuffled hits skip energetically around a bassline malevolent in its simplicity. “Drunk On Sunday” works drum machine grooves from the off, heading down a stripped-bare corridor of pitch-black house.

Chasing Voices – Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit [PRESERVEDINSTINCTS002]

https://i0.wp.com/static.boomkat.com/images/393571/333.jpg

Dark and deep industrialesque techno. This is self-preservation music forming from the black waters of isolation and loss, there is no “artist” in this equation, no ordained or predestined genius operating behind the mystified veil of divined talent, imminent fate or blind luck.

Mysterious shadows, sensual formations and intransparent depths rewrite the fourth baud release of Ryo Murakami from Tokyo.The A-side is launched by the title track “Underworld”, which is evident in an appealing soundscape by classical and contemporary dub elements.Also on the front side is the playful “Night dew”. Swirled iridescent synths attend to the atmospheric and unexplored morning dew.“Closer” opens the B-side with a gentle, bubbling acidline that rounds off the background with jacking swinging moments,Like an enchanted, dark veil “Fog” appears on the back side, by building up strings into unsearchable depths.
