Dark Berghain Techno

TB 2014

If STRGTHS offered a taste of the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH’s sense of humour and willingness to actively resist order, Linear S Decoded see them in full control. 

The complex, onomatopoeic track titles are gone and replaced with more recognisable words and expressions, as though the pair - having strayed dangerously close to parody have decided to reign it in, declaring we make the rules round here. 

And they do. 

Whilst many of the textures on the album can be cross checked against celebrated European Techno of yore, it’s the unapologetic nature of SHXCXCHCXSH’s composition that marks it out against the rest. And it’s a development - where STRNGTHS might have opted for simply another cavernous kick drum, there are hooks here (see This Hmming Raverie), and bonafide musical pieces (see Monolithic Conclusion). Where others might feel ashamed that such uplifting and tonally pleasing sounds are coming out of their machines - SHXCXCHCXSH revel in this fact, warping and bending these sounds unashamedly to craft a truly singular Techno album. 

“Linear S Decoded never feels like punishment. They've replaced UK techno's sadistic carnival with a mossy softness, a reminder that while factories and cities decay and corrupt, so do cabins and farmhouses.” Andrew Gaerig, Pitchfork, 2014

Temple Tower Watch 

Sat 4 Oct 2025 - A.D.H.S. Rave Codex 

Don’t force the beat—let it breathe, let it slam.

 Oxygen mask on, save your soul in the jam. 

Tunnel deep, bassline’s your pulse—reach in. 

Repetition’s the ritual:

* Dawn cracks, wake early, feel the kick drum’s call.

* Yoga stretches, meditate, let the synths enthrall.

* Eat clean, fuel the rave, keep the body tight.

* Work the decks, spin the sound, own the night.

* Crash hard, dream in loops, then repeat the flight.

Crowds pulse like stars in the Temple Tower Watch.

 Day bleeds to night, people sway, lost in the catch. 

Music’s your pet, scratching at the soul’s core. 

Sweat it out, paint the air, read the crowd’s roar. 

Fred’s inspiration fuels the fire—pitch it down, let it soar.
Big up to the rave, the rhythm, the tribe. 

Two captains, no rules, just vibes on the vibe. Weird little ship, techno’s our guide—let’s ride.

Up next on Wolfskuil Records and as the title suggests we find some of Shlømo’s finest cuts on the Dutch imprint reworked by Oscar Mulero, Johannes Heil and Tripeo. 

Spanish techno master Oscar Mulero takes over the A-side, keeps the heat of the original and adds extra tension to offer a stand out rendition of ‘Obsession’, while in ‘Vanished Breath’ he goes deep and delivers fine electronica and a sophisticated, experimental remix where broken beats and haunting synths seamlessly blend to create ghostly atmospheres.

On the flip side Johannes Heil transforms the beatless, synth-heavy beauty ‘M.U.M.’ into an euphoric, driving techno track, right before Tripeo proves ones again his strong command on the dancefloor with a solid, twisted version of ‘Avadon Part 1’.
