Veteran Uncertain aka Boriqua Tribez has been making his mark on the electronic music scene since the early 90's, with productions on labels such as Kevin Saunderson's KMS, UMEK's Recycled Loops and Ben Sims' Ingoma, to name but a few. His recent alias, Uncertain, sees the prolific artist lean into his dark techno side, having previously released on Complexed, Tronic or Kneaded Pains.
Expose is a full-force showcase of Uncertain's tenacity and knack for driving techno, encompassing ten tracks that progress along different paths of the genre's spectrum.
From the opener Submerge, a heavy-hitting, straightforward peak time burner, we journey through heavy dub-infused compositions such as Juice and Grind, whose syncopations are attention-grabbing from the first bars. On Reaction we hear a tribal influence, while Seduce leads us into a deeper realm with its otherworldly vocals and tectonic bass. One of the main stand out tracks on the album, Impact stays true to its name, channeling tight-knit grooves at a dynamic pace as it lures the listener into a hypnotic dance frenzy. Another couple of high octane arrangements, Outrage and Curve syphon menacing pads alongside thundering drums leading to dramatic, narrative-changing cuts. The release is rounded off by Riot, a slice of electro-rave, offering a nod to the artist's many years of experience behind the decks.

What does techno look like in its purest form? Clear in its structure. Credible in its message. With an insistent beat in the background. With its heart in the right place. And its melody in the tips of the never-ending goosebumps.Those who know, are aware of that. Those who can, do it. At Complexed Records they've only been doing just that since 2014. But they do it with a sound that embodies such determination that it could just as well come from the good old days in the beginning. That's primarily down to label boss Drumcomplex, who in this short period and with very few artists has established a reputation that has projected virtually every new release into the playlists of the major players. And in the process he and his label have themselves grown to become a major force.It's as if Complexed Records hit the nerve of an age which was not openly calling out for a powerful breath of techno past, yet still seems relieved to hear it. Or rather, to absorb it. Who would have thought a few years ago that once again a new techno label would be established and experience such a meteoric rise. But let's leave the past in peace. Let's look to the future. A glittering future with packed dance floors, on which visionaries once again celebrate music as a unifying element as they dance together into the early hours, with gratified smiles on their faces. And the sound they're dancing to? Complexed Records. Modern Future Techno.
