Next up on our little series, we have a special one for you. Klasse Wrecks head honcho Luca Lozano takes us through some special moments.
 
Luca Lozano is a British techno producer based in Sheffield. His sound draws heavily on the early rave era, exploring genres such as Hardcore, Breakbeat, Acid House, New Beat, Bleep, and Jungle. Luca co run Klasse Wrecks with techno artist Mr. Ho  as well as its sublabels, Grafiti Tapes, Zodiac 44, Junglish Massive, Elegal Records

We don't need to say much more as @lucalozano has:
 
"For this mix I’ve scrolled through my mental rolodex, dug into my faded festival memories and included the tracks that hit the bullseye and created ‘that' elusive and magical moment. Each track has a special connection and memory for me, whether its opening my set with Debbie Malone at Houghton or tearing the roof off Horst in Belgium with Daisy Glow. Now is not the time for posing and pouting, now is the time for pianos and uplifting vocals. Now is the time to run, find your friends and tell them that you love them.
I hope to see you all sometime again soon.
Luca Lozano. Planet Luke 2021."

Elliott - Transcendence EP - Forthcoming 10th Jan

After releasing two EPs from rising talent MOY, Batrachian’s journey through mystical synths, breakbeat and electro rhythms, and ear-worm melodies continues in the capable hands of Bristol-based Jack Wiles.
On Wiles’ debut EP, ’Too Real Eyez’ is a slow-burning spiral of acidic frequencies and tough breaks with a killer vocal snippet, while ‘Bientam’ is a rolling junglist piece driven by chopped drums, meandering bass and an intricate bell melody: the perfect mix of rhythmic heft and IDM intrigue. ‘Slowrush’ matches offbeat electro drums with a bittersweet synth part, and finally, Wiles remixes MOY’s ‘Echolab’ (recently released on the EMOTEC label) into an early Warp-style acidic masterpiece.

Leafminer EP - Track Previews

Known for his hardware-harnessing live shows and acidic jams, the Bristol-based Miles Otto’s ‘Skitter’ EP is alive with propulsive electro rhythms and dreamy synth melodies. ‘CV Swizzly’  grabs your attention with its wistful analogue tones and percussive crunch, before a burbling bassline burrows through the arrangement, while the 303-laced ‘Vectron’ takes cues from Detroit electro with its menacing riffs and eerie synth drifts. ‘Skitter’ itself subtly reveals its details layer by layer, with crisp drum machine hits and low tones opening out into mystic harmonies, and Plant43 recasts ‘CV Swizzly’ in his distinct image, adding metallic synth bass and urgent keys to finish the EP in fine style.

Premiere: Miles Otto - CV Swizzly (Plant43 Remix)

Belfast’s Robin Wylie has long been twisting up heavy, analogue bass sounds, winning the ears of the likes of David Holmes along the way. After debuting on Ritual Poison with the swirling, hazy breaks of ‘St Paul’s’ on last year’s ‘Pharmakon’ compilation, he arrives full force with four-tracker ‘What is Zero?’
Built around booming subs, bubbling acid and ecstatic female vocals, the title track highlights Wylie’s knack for dancefloor fusion, peak time electro seeped in subtle rave flavours. ‘Pulse Track’ draws inspiration from somewhere between 90s techno and bleep, adding a modern percussive drive and bass weight. The electro-breaks of ‘Shadows In The Sunlight’ serves up a journey of tension and release, building then breaking in waves of 303. And ‘Kid Dynamite’ earns its title, low end exploding under heavy breakbeat house riding crunchy acid, whoops and warping effects.
Artwork come from label favourite Alec Jagodzinski, whose 2000 AD-inspired imagery accentuates the EP’s sonic evocation of resistance to an encroaching dystopian future.

‘London. Detroit. Birmingham. New York.’ So declared the cover of TronikHouse’s classic ‘Hardcore Techno’ EP back in 1991, a nod to these musical powerhouses. Still flying the flag for West Midlands futurism in 2025 is Rawtrachs, aka Brum’s own Anand Patel. 

A prolific music maker, both solo and as part of Made2Faze and We Kill Culture, he runs his own labels Futurepast Zine (which sprang from a physical zine of the same name) and Alternative Architecture, and has appeared on the likes of WNCL Recordings, Defrostatica and Sydonia.

His ‘Machine Room’ EP unveils the workings of his sound, Detroit’s techno soul filtered through industrial-strength broken beats and tech-step’s sci-fi dystopianism. 

‘Fail We May’ is deep, dubby and drummy, a melancholic moment of reverie whose title echoes part of the phrase that defined Andy Weatherall. Label bosses Escape Earth (aka BufoBufo and Joe Nonlocal) remix it, injecting a current of euphoria as breakbeats and bubbling acid lift it into sweatier realms.

‘Machine Room (PST Basement Mix)’ channels the spirit of hardcore and d&b into heavy duty bruk, its Reese-style bassline nodding to Saunderson as the beats recall the abstract rhythms of Nubian Minds. And closer ‘Not So Great Expectations’ is another hulking presence, relentlessly weighty sub and drums marching through a ghostly realm.
