Darker and more sinister as all his releases before. Beats getting tighter and rougher, there’s no chance to escape. Welcome to the world of Delta Funktionen. This 2nd part of his Setup EPs brings three times dark heavy soaking techno tracks, and with the otherworldly track ‘Conflict Data’ closing the Setup.
New output from the Skudge factory. ‘Below’ is a brand new side of refined diva haunted techno, while ‘Phantom’ bites like it was designed specifically to turn Berghain inside out.
Examine delivers Snejl’s 17th number, as an authentic masterpiece for any music lover. ‘Random Facts’ represents a perfect example of sound research, massive groove and detroitish chords. ‘Essential Reconstruction’ gets that floating atmosphere a solid dub track can deliver. Subtle textures surrounded by an aura of warmth are somehow reconstructing the whole track from the beginning to the end. ‘Artificial Consciousness’ is a beautifully fresh, deep techy tune . Its warm sounds deliver the perfect touch of soul which is floating towards your ears and all your deepest senses.

3024’s milestone 10th release arrives with 2 brand new Martyn tracks. ‘Lefthander’ clatters in on heavily filtered drums, flickering high hats & garbled radio transmissions before a carousel synth melody breaks through the percussive murk accompanied by a roaming bass line that prioritises restraint over bludgeon. Steam age industrial monolith ‘Shook Up’ swaps slink for haunted metronomic brutality, snapping quickly into focus first with relentless kicks before bass akin to an Atari2600 playing Berghain looms over the clouded horizon.
New release from XDB aka Kosta Athanassiadis on the new sublabel of Frustrated Funk, Harbour City Sorrow.
New label from Horizontal Ground recording Artists ‘Szare’ (HG02 / HG04) with some subtle atmospheric heavy & metallic percussive techno/house cuts.
Quality extended player from Smooth Agent Records featuring dope cuts from the Nebraska who brings the super sick “Green Marimba” that’s as much house as it is dirty tech, James “Black Star” John’s “Techers Untitled”, & South Africa’s Blaq Soul who finishes the 12″ with “Down To My Root”.
