 Locus of Control –Vol. 3

This fall, Detroit techno icons Octave One serve up the third volume of their Locus of Control EP series. The two-track offering again explores the ‘power or powerlessness people feel over the things that shape their world,’ and never has that been more true than during the last 18 months of the pandemic.
It has almost been two years since the release of the last installment. Of course, the pandemic largely explains that delay, but that doesn’t mean the celebrated Burden Brothers haven’t stayed busy in other ways. Already in 2021, they have served up their Reworks and Whatever She Wants EPs, and have also revived their more introspective 90s alias Neveron Sunday for a new EP later in 2021. More than 25 years after first starting out, they continue to shapethe modern techno landscape with their famous analogue approach, as this new EP proves.
It opens with the superb ‘Shameless,’ a heavily percussive yet elastic track that bangs from thestart. The bassline is dark and menacing but also has a subtle sense of techno funk. Once the pixelated chords arrive, the track is doused in a cosmic energy that will take dance floors to the next level. Then comes ‘School of Seven Bells’, a straight-up seven-minute techno workout laden with rich layers of synth and a baseline full of suspense. It immediately gets you on your toes and the ever-evolving pads and loopy drums ensure maximum impact throughout.
These are two more thought-provoking, body-shaking tracks from techno’s finest.

Solid mainstay Skudge has been pushing their unique mixture of house and techno for over half a decade now.

In a new direction of becoming a sole producer for now, Skudge 009 is the first mark of this new direction.

The intertwined beat structures of ’Waveless’ on the A-side takes us to charted Skudge territory. The small modulations and the pushing groove has become a trademark.

Flipping over to ’Motion’, a colder and haunting atmosphere binds this two tracker together, with a lot of focus and ambition for the future.

Bade Records are back with a fresh new talent, Tom Place. Hailing from Essex, UK, Tom is a veteran producer who started out in the dubstep era and has honed his craft over the past decade. Bade are privileged to kickstart what is sure to be an exciting path with a varied 4 tracker EP from Tom.

First off is the EP title and title track, Corrupted Circuits. Teaming a pounding low end with a frenetic electro lead, this is one for dark basements and warehouses at peak hours.

Following up is Organic Motion, a deeper, stepping track that showcases Tom’s deep UK routes. A drum n’ bass inspired bass line, sharp percussion and vocals come together to form a deeper, well considered track.

Hard Ground follows. Taking no prisoners, this weapon combines a fast tempo, monstrous kick and electro inspired percussion to great effect, switching from a 4/4 to electro grove halfway through.

Rounding off the EP is Solid Lines, a more traditional and highly effective electro track that teams a bubbling synth line with vocals.

EP release date:
16 December 2019
