As Frankie Bones eloquently noted, “the five year run of Plus 8's sub-label Probe sometimes would seem to be putting out better releases than its parent label”. One of those indelible releases was ‘The Arrival’, signed by Casey Tucker under his Variable Frequency Technician moniker. “Cross Section”, the anthem that closed the B-Side of the original 1995 release, is getting now a re-release on Certain Music with two remixes from Fit Siegel and Marc Piñol plus a proper retake from Tucker himself.

It’s hard to tell what’s the most interesting feature of this singular track. Above all is a sharp and defining concoction of what listening to underground techno in the 90s was: warm and blissful chords over a metallic rhythm section, intrincate hi-hats, syrupy synths and a rubber-like bassline —you name it, the track covered it. Tucker’s 2021 remix keeps the vibe pretty much where it originally was, but now building things wider, tremendously three-dimensional and diaphanous. More than a remix, it’s a way to appreciate Tucker’s genuine evolution as an artist over the last three decades.

On the flip side, Fit Siegel signs an acidic and jazzy rendition full of twists and turns: keeping the groove in check while showing an infinite array of layers and melodic ingredients. Marc Piñol does pretty much the opposite while keeping the acid intention, building a ponderous bass-driven track with vocal delays, repetitive percussions and periodic glimpses of Tucker’s exquisite synths.

Tech Support continues his Midas touch delivering EBM-flecked electro across three original tracks with his debut EP on Nocturne. The London-based, Brighton producer has been making waves following a series of strong releases, recently dropping records on Lobster Theremin, Futureboogie as well as contributing to the popular Nocturne charity compilation "From Belfast with Love II."

The For The Time Being EP kicks off with Tigris - a marriage of industrial eighties drums that wouldn't sound out of place in a NIN track, complimented by a woozy lead, taking us into the witching hour for the late-night heads-down generation.

Eated Soup is Tech Support on playful form, with a low-slung bass driving offbeat drum machine workouts - a cleverly programmed 808 jam that will fit perfectly in sets of DJ's across the board as tongues continue to wag for the slower tempos.

The tension is firmly raised with the third track on the EP - on Box Model, Tech support finds an anchor in cleverly automated bassline squelch, driving the club forward with more than a little help from squealing synths and a more analogue touched lead than the previous offerings. Box Model could find a home across a range of dancefloors, from the intoxicating and intimate through to the more melodic.

Continuing the Nocturne ethos of sidestepping flash-in-the-pan hype artists, Anatolian Weapons steps up to the plate for remix duties, with the Astros Bar resident taking Tigris up a notch into an inebriating peak time exercise for the sweatboxes.

Duca Bianco keep surprising. Apart from the excellent Alex From Utopia sleeping Balearic monster, the label had been dormant for a year and then they drop a bomb by teaming up with one of the most watched edit crew of the last decade with the upcoming Black Bones EP and then they knock it out the park by teaming up with must watch Talking Drums crew.
Having built a cult following across a dozen or so releases, Mancs based Talking Drums and affiliates have been dropping one killer 12” after another, so it’s pleasure to see them jump from their own label to teaming up with these crazy Rimini diamonds. As ever, best left to Duca to describe in their ‘super styling”.
Bongo, drums, some flange guitar, wonky, wobbly key, Santana eat your hash cake, hello.
Zep kick, gentle noodle, groovin’ folky funk sway, what is a girl like her doing here?
Running, alley, red light, scatter, shatter, basement stairs, stop the clock and watch the people rush past.
Trippy, spaced out, jangly, sailor sailor, what you sayin’?
Drums Drums Drums are Talkin’ !!

'New Members returns to his self-imposed imprint with a second bag of cosmic creepers that can be fully utilised in a variety of set embers. The EP initiates with ‘Hexx Code’ (A1), a dark and twisted pulse-raiser with the bit fully between it’s teeth. Sweaty warehouse energy curtails out of this one in abundance and would fit most welcome inside the eeriest chambers of Tresor. No-nonsense club energy is the key instinct of this one and NM expertly introduces some killa breaks into the second act of this twisted techno pumper to further intensify it’s robust exterior.'

PREMIERE: A1 - New Members - Hexx Code [NEW002]

For our first go, Cracki Station had the privilege and joy to welcome the French dj/producer Myd, the London based dj/producer Laurence Guy and dj/producer Yung Prado for a B3B set !  This greatest trio offers us an incredible mix going from the underground house influences of Laurence Guy, with a hint of electric wavy house touch added by Myd and Yung Prado.   Guests, find them on :

Myd : https://www.instagram.com/mydsound/?hl=fr

« Introduced to fans as a member of electronic band Club Cheval, Myd learned through tireless work and experimentation. It was a passionate environment upon which to build a foundation, yet there are always concessions and compromises involved with pleasing a group. After co-producing Brodinski’s album Brava and making beats for a host of rappers, Myd now stands on his own, unabashedly showcasing his eccentric flair, even singing on his own tracks. At times, his music is fun and flirty, other times thoughtful, dreamy and warm with intergalactic fuzz. It's intimate, dripping with synth-heavy shine, and in its weathered corners and rich textures, lies the autobiography of Myd – at least in this moment. But even more since he joined Pedro Winter's clan at Ed Banger records. Flirting between electro and indie pop, Myd knows how to unify the crowd »

Yung Prado : https://www.instagram.com/yungpradito/

« Yung Prado is part of the leading collective of the electronic scene in Barcelona. He has released references on international labels such as MMODEMM Frankfurt and Young Ethics by Dj Seinfeld. His debut "What's Up?" It has played both at major events such as the Boiler Room x Telekom Electronic Beats Budapest 2020 and on the prestigious NTS Radio in London. His party-focused rhythms, combined with hypnotic vocals, have become his letter of introduction. The eclectic artist has been making waves within his local scene and beyond, with greats at events like Brunch In The Park Madrid, Parc Del Forum Barcelona and also at events with his Mainline collective.

Laurence Guy : https://www.instagram.com/laurenceguymusic/

« Having crafted his own signature of contemporary underground music, Laurence Guy has enjoyed notable commercial success - over 60 million streams and counting - and amassed a collection of loyal listeners and tastemakers, all of whom are united in an appreciation for his outstanding production abilities and talents as a DJ and producer. »
