Inner Surface Music is an outlet for the grittier side of techno. The tracks that you lock away in the deepest  corners of your record collection lest someone find out about your dark secret. Curated by  AnD, a Mancunian-based-power-techno-duo and Run Out Run label boss Tom Dicicco, the label welcomes its tenth release, which is in the hands of eight very capable artists.

The beauty of getting together a collective of like-minded yet resolved artists is that while the fabric of the compilation is designed around the same corners of the genre with each artist bringing their signature sound to the table. Featuring new works from the likes of Sleeparchive, Perc and Gaja is worth the price admittance for its opening cut alone with of the eight new tracks on offer seemingly hellbent on stealing the spotlight from their illustrious compilation counterparts.

The real star of the show though comes from Ontal. The producer made an appearance on Inner Surface Music last excursion with a particularly impressive remix of Eomac’s ‘Frozen Souls’, so it was of no surprise that he's been invited back. ‘Spasm’ is the sonic manifestation of a freight train commandeered by Beelzebub himself, on a crash course into an orphanage. Little can prepare you for the onslaught as the track opens with beefy kicks and sirens. Two minutes in and we are given glimpse of the synth/weapon of choice, which proceeds to grow, morph and squelch its way throughout the track. This is a track that should be saved strictly for peak times, with a guarantee of carnage.

In short we can't praise this album enough, it combines originality with dance floor sensibilities for a dynamite package of brutal unadulterated techno. We must warn you however  - if the cast of the album didn’t already - please approach with care…

🇸🇻 in 🇧🇪

i'm a commited Audio (t-) Errorist since 1999.
In 1999 I got into Hardcore and Gabber. I invented the name Davy Zealot back then. 

I started producing Hardcore, Speedcore in Dec 2001. 
I started DJing with vinyl in 2003.

I found myself not fitting into the "Gabber" scene.
I rather found my place in the "underground" scene where I could play the darker side of hardcore.

I started also producing Psytrance and Acid Techno since 2008.
Since 2011 I focused on producing Psytrance.
Since 2012 I focused on producing downtempo industrial Hardcore which I named "Traagkore", a name I coined already in 2008.
In 2017 I started focusing on producing an experimental style of speedcore.
In 2020, I decided to focus on DJing again. 

Most DJ's, producers, search for predictable, familiair sounds. 
I'm searching for the craziest noise on the planet. 

A lot of my acid techno & psytrance work can be found at soundcloud.com/doctortriptechno
