Mark Broom’s had an incredible year so far with releases on the likes of Rekids, Edit Select, Frame Of Mind and Snatch, as well as remixes of Floorplan (EPMmusic), Mighty Mouse (Glitterbox) and Kristin Velvet (Knee Deep In Sound) amongst others. There’s even more in the pipeline with tracks coming to Hardgroove, the next Cocoon compilation and a follow up to ‘Break 97’ for Rekids, plus remixes for Mute, Sunday Best and more.

In the meantime his own label has been in capable hands with releases from Belgium’s Absent and Japan’s Raiki. But now after a hiatus of 18 months, Broom returns to his Beard Man stamp this September for ‘Voice EP’ which consists of two new bulletproof originals - the warehouse style techno of the title track, alongside the percussive funk groover ‘Mangle’, which are both destined for heavy rotation.

New York’s Avision is no stranger to the label having released two full length EPs, ‘Freak Zone’ (BMD019) in 2016 and ‘Excess’ (BMD026) in 2017. Since then he’s gone on to release on the likes of Ben Sims’ Hardgroove, Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave and Coyu’s Suara. Here, he not only delivers a seriously punchy remix of ‘Voice’ but also the deep and wonky, NYC Dub Remix.

Completing the EP is a hypnotic reworking of ‘M19’ (that first appeared on Mark Broom’s 2015 EP, ‘Neon’) by resident DJ and promoter of Manchester’s Good Gatherings, Josh Reeves.

Berlin-based Irish artist Hybrasil returns to Rekids with four murky techno cuts in ‘We Don’t Flip’.

Having made numerous appearances on Rekids including ‘Embers’, his debut album released last year, Hybrasil has become a core artist on Matt Edwards’s label when not releasing on his very own eponymous imprint. Reflecting on an amazingly creative 2019, at the start of this year Hybrasil set a new creative path for his future live shows, writing new music that received regular support from Radio Slave, which is what ultimately shaped this new four-track release.

‘We Don’t Flip’ opens the package with an immediate shadowy aesthetic before rattling kicks, off-beat hats and snappy snares lay down the groove as distorted vocal murmurs join delayed synths. ‘Hour Glass’ is next with its syncopated rhythm and quivering pads before ‘Ikigai’ takes things into wonkier territories courtesy of subtle melodies, metallic atmospherics and dubby chords. Tying everything together, ‘System H’ takes things up a notch, adding extra oomph to the package using powerful drums, rippling bass and deep stabs.
