Mowar imprint turns out four tracks of prime techno from Belgium’s Ozka, backed with a pumping Peter Van Hoesen remix. Belgian producer Ozka shows his love for basic mental grooves with clear Detroit and UK techno influences. On remix duty we find Belgium’s Peter Van Hoesen who turns Hidden Roots in a hypnotic warehouse monster dominated by throbbing bassdrums and filtered out chord stabs very much in the vein of his new album.

ozka / peter van hoesen – Hidden Roots (Peter Van Hoesen Mix)
Franco Cangelli’s Mowar imprint turns out four tracks of prime techno from Belgium’s Ozka, backed with a pumping Peter Van Hoesen remix. The title track shows his years of experience producing for labels such as Dave Angel’s Rotation, smearing smudged dub chords over churning bass groove and strafing percussive syncopations. ‘Intel Dub’ nods to dubstep in a swung style layered with hypnotic chords, kinda like a more melodic Detroit version of Regis’ recent Sandwell tracks. The PvH remix is up to his usual standards, built from the bulbous bass up with crisp claps and shuffling hi-hats for the stick ‘n pivot effect while filtered chords and icy synths infect the atmosphere. Very tidy.
