Dynamic Reflection

For The Nursery’s fifth instalment, meet the young, yet mature sound of T_st. Apart from the fact that T_st consists of two young Armenians, information about them is scarce. But who needs biographies when you have already built a discography like theirs? T_st delivers techno with influences ranging from ambient to breakbeat, from electronica to industrial, and everything in between.

As far as their mature sound and anonymity go, "Destination Unknown" is no exception. The four tracks carry the unadorned titles "qq3" until "qq6". The first track "qq3" is a relatively downtempo one. It has an unstoppable groove, supported by many layers of hiss, noise and scapes, perfectly suited for the earlier hours of the night. Also pretty downtempo, only with a slightly more aggressive percussion pattern is "qq4", and after that it’s on to the proverbial flip side, where the more peak time stuff is found.

"qq5" is a bit faster than the first two tracks, and is carried by its uplifting, bell-like synth line and – again – beautifully layered soundscapes and pads on the background. After that, "qq6" tops this off with more of the energetic percussion, only a much darker, meaner synth to finish it off.

Altogether, it’s safe to say that T_st have made quite the first impression with a solid EP, suited for various moments on the dance floors.

A couple of months after the release of Contemporary Spaces, four of Abstract Division’s tracks get remixed. And who better suited for the job than label residents Stefan Vincent and Deepbass & Ness, and Dynamic Reflection debutants Tensal and Lewis Fautzi. 

Tensal has reshaped The Hunt into a powerful club-banger. The original synth is still present, although heavily processed by a number of echoes and reverbs. That, backed up by numerous noises going on in the background, makes it a Hunting piece of music indeed.  

Deepbass and Ness have taken Passenger for their account and transformed it into something of their own, inimitable sound. Deep and subby kicks, complemented with complex soundscapes.  

Lewis Fautzi’s version of Encounter is clearly deeper than the original. The impellent synth and matching percussion, make it a fascinating trip to listen to.

Stefan Vincent has formed Glide the original EP’s soundscape intro into a beautiful piece of breakbeat-techno. And with that, he has provided the perfect outro for this remix-EP. 

For all the WAV and MP3 heads, there’s a digital bonus version of The Hunt included as well. This one is provided by Dutch youngster Haeken, who turned it  into a hypnotic loop with an authentic old school feel to it.

The Nursery’s seventh release sees another newcomer: it’s Violent. A truly promising DJ and producer from Poland, rapidly making a name for himself as a pusher of rough, breakbeat induced techno. Stressful Environment contributes to that persona. It is a fierce composition of peak time tracks, that at times hint towards industrial, while preserving a certain melancholy. It is largely this combination that makes these tracks complement each other so well. The muscular foundation gives them their power; an enlightening fragility keeps them from becoming mere stompers. With that, Violent has put together an impressive piece of contemporary techno that will most likely see the inside of many clubs in the months to come. The ‘Stressful Environment EP’ is bound to make the name Violent stick around for a while.
