Andy Toth – Mind Lock EP [IT055]

For the second Interdimensional Transmissions record from Detroit’s Andy Toth, he explores a sci fi fusion of electro and acid, with a remix by BMG of Ectomorph fame. Andy Toth has a long history in Detroit Techno, from an engineering and mixing background where he mixed records for the likes of Mike Huckaby and many others, to co-authoring “Sandwiches”. For this record, Andy had the songs mixed on hardware by BMG in his studio, to give them an even more 3 dimensional sound and an even greater weight. The result for the “Mind Lock EP” is simultaneously hypnotic, acid, sci fi, and electro. The depth of tone, density of sound and maturity of concept come through the 4 deeply compelling tracks that you can just get lost in.

Böhm – Infinity is Over [SKKB029]

Sakskobing’s tenth anniversary celebrations are cut across by a dispiriting declaration: ‘Infinity Is Over’. Not one to play too many away games, local Netherlands DJ and producer-abstruser Jeroen Böhm makes the fatigable fashionable again, snubbing the extended mix, invariable techno form for rationed, baggy FM house and electro with ‘Optimistic’ and ‘The Lodge’, A-side track titles which seem to laugh in the face of hope. Meanwhile, a sweeping staredown with ambient electro is pulled off with grace on ‘Countryside’, an understandably much-needed escape after such a grave realisation.

VA – You Can Trust A Man With A Moustache Vol. 6 [MST054]

Some 17 years after the first missive landed in record stores, Moustache Records popular multi-artist EP series, ‘You Can Trust a Man With a Moustache’, returns for its sixth instalment. Doctr gets us going with the spiralling Hi-NRG-meets-acid thrills of ‘Our Minds Belong Together’, before Theo Scuera joins the dots between rave-igniting early 90s house and the more muscular, sweat-soaked end of mid 90s progressive house on the colossal ‘Your Virus’. David Vunk and Ben La Desh join forces on B-side opener ‘Unrealized Prophet’, a veritable whirlwind of muscular techno drums, buzzing riffs and broken modem electronics, while Patricio Diaz’s ‘Welcome To My Hell’ is a bouncy and mind-mangling slab of peak-time acid nostalgia tailor-made for dark basements and flagging dancefloors. This release is a tribute to Bob the Landlord, who became known in Rotterdam after appearing in a documentary about the harbor cafe Willems Kantine.
