430 West Records embarks on an epic journey revisiting classic tracks from it’s 20 year history with 2010 reworkings. First in the series are remixes of Octave One’s seminal techno track “Meridian” and their absolute floor killer ”Dema”.

Deep and minimized acid techno rubs from a consortium of Giorgio Gigli, Obtane and nAX_Acid. ‘The Child That Was Watching The Moon’ perhaps warrants the acid tag more with its detuned and grumbling low end modulations occurring under streamlined layers of modern classical techno drums. ‘The Moon That Was Watching The Child’ on the flip serves a groovier function with a tech-house swing anchored by a fat bass yet still keeping focussed on pristine synths.

Komisch is honoured to release the debut EP by SP-X. Combining lean, snappy percussion with evil bass sounds, SP-X also brings slamming, skipping beats and insane filtering to each track.The ominous chords of ‘SP-14’ is the track that has received the most DJ support, but both ‘SP-17’ and ‘SP-10’ are functional but distinctive club tracks whose panning riffs and hissing percussion will destroy any club.

Stripped down basement techno tracks on the Giegling sub label Staub. Two tracks with a touch of that post basic channel sound with a gentle steady groove.

Verdantin is an epic 13 minutes long burner. Moody synths, haunting vocals, and a sub-sonic kick drive the slowly evolving structure forward. However… b-side track Siebzehn is at least as good with its lush dubby chords and its echo-ing vocals layer over a classic house groove.

Title track of ‘Night Heat’ on a side is a melodic and playful detroitish house track. On the b side, we invited our favorite underground house producer Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium to the remixer. He almost cuted off the melody and made more dj tool version, it fits perfectly for dark club.

The Bitch’ bounces a cheeky square bassline into play with old-skool ruff-house vibes pivoting about shoulder dropping syncopation. On the flip ‘Crop Duster’ takes it down low with crouching subs and skittering percussion showing the lineage of Afrobeat through house and broken beats to end up in Natives territory.

Industrial stripped techno with some dubby berlin techno influences and straight on dubstep percusion.

New full length CD from the man, Fabrice Lig. Nice combination of downbeat tracks, electro and classic Detroit techno as we know of Fabrice Lig! Perfect versatile Nice price CD release with all the extra’s, beautiful artwork!

Don Williams provides two deep and tricky Detroit jackers for Baud. ‘Dynamic Rain’ is lead by future-tribal tom patterns and sparse, abstract synthlines. The idiosyncratic ‘Glis Groove’ on the flip reminds of Redshape (who coincidentally mastered this 12″) with deep shuffling arrangement tinged with a sci-fi house vibe. Lovely heavy card sleeve and top class cut & mastering job.

Snejl 16th release faces the italian Claudio Mate with a wonderful 3 tracker oozing Detroit techno with a blend of chicago and house. Deep, driving techno from Snejl.

‘Kosmos’ and ‘Massa’ cuts are mesmerizing and sophisticated techno. PVH’s remix of ‘Massa’ shreds some of the tense rhythmic muscle to leave an unstable undercarriage of delayed bass kicks and ‘Suunta’ adds a cold thrilling melody to frost any room it’s deployed in.

Rugged bass and techno transmission from Kero and Function with remixes from Soundmurderer, Corbin Davis and Matt Herdman. Firstly, we should warn you that the Soundmurderer track is a baaadman tune! He reworks his angular jungle style at a dubstep pace but still retains the dipping flex and contrasting breaks tones for sick effect. Corbin Davis gives a bass-loaded techno fix while Kero and Function go hard on the breakbeat techno to sound like British Murder Boys.

Tadeo continues his home brewed Cyclical Track series with a third set of deeper Detroit-influenced techno. ‘Parfrasis De Discontinuidad’ pulls off a slick Mills tribute defined with Latin carnival whistles and lush floating interstellar synth bleeps. ‘Oasys’ builds a sinister a stranger sci-fi techno groove and the majestic ‘Indiferencia Ante La Situacin’ reminds of Terrace or Black Dog.
