Carlo Ruetz makes his debut on Oliver Huntemann's Senso Sounds with The Trick EP - further evidence of his increasing mastery of tough, thrilling Techno. The Rostock born DJ and producer found a wider audience in 2013 after receiving support from Richie Hawtin and subsequently releasing on MINUS - and here he flexes his production muscles once again.
'Trick' is an acidic tinged banger - a ferocious dancefloor workout for prime time whatever the location. 'Artefact' is another example of Ruetz’s control over dynamics - the track containing
several moments of high intensity that raises the temperature, yet maintaining a spacey, minimal vibe. 'Divided Universe' is another hard-hitter - a driving rhythm accompanied by laser-like melodic
flourishes and menacing atmospheres. 'Resoflash' keeps up the releases’ tough and funky vibe - a killer rolling bassline and firing percussion deliver the heat.

Senso’s approach to delivering the finest in pulsating, dancefloor rocking techno continues with the release of the Level 04 EP. Featuring four killer tracks by four different artists, the EP provides
a welcome reminder of the rude health techno finds itself in during 2017/18. 
First up are STAB Virus, the South African duo of Siphe Tebeka and Makonwabe Bekwa, who are making waves internationally with their uncompromising style. Accompanied by Citizen Kain
- the French producer is adding his own signature slant. 'Torium' is a starkly effective slice of streamlined, sharp edged techno. Label favourite Carlo Ruetz carved out a niche for himself with
his ‘twisted technoid minimal’ sound, a philosophy he continues to adhere to here - 'Sky's Black' bubbles with menace and attitude, fizzing over into moments of barely restrained euphoria.
Mr. Bizz - the duo of two Italian brothers Fabrizio and Matteo Floris - maintain the quality with their cut 'Algarve' - a muscular techno outing with a narcotic, wonky edge. Another regular on the label - the UK’s dubspeeka brings his own flavour to proceedings - 'Aakash' is a superbly crafted burner - a pulsating rhythm track punctuated by abstracted melodic hits.

Tracklist:
01. Citizen Kain, STAB Virus: Torium

Senso’s commitment to quality, forward thinking techno has remained 100% consistent of the label's existence. Oliver Huntemann’s bespoke imprint hits all the right pressure points once more. Distale is a new project from Berlin based Michael Knop, himself a techno prophet who until now has kept a fairly low profile - preferring to let his music do the talking. This three track EP kicks off with 'Keep Watching' a powerful, lean and musical cut that stretches the tension to breaking point - the precision programming lends the track a forward propulsion that it's impossible not to get swept along with. 'Isolate' starts in a more dub techno vein, a submerged groove augmented with dub echoes and reverb to give the track a huge sense of scale. 'Mezzo' is a harder proposition, a punchy midrange kick set the tone, crispy percussion adds the top end fizz and a growling aggressive bass brings the attitude.

Senso Sounds drops the next installment of their floor rocking techno compilations. Senso Sounds Level 05 draws together some of the hottest artists of the moment to deliver 4 slices of killer, throbbing tech. Brazilian / German Alex Stein is up first with 'Gojira', a sleek, honed
piece of high impact dance music. The tension rises and ebbs, the drums pound and the edgy synths bring the whole thing to boiling point. Olivier Giacomotto is up next, and the French man delivers a lesson in techno dynamics - his 'Eake' track is a slowly evolving monster that gets its
hooks into you early. Berlin’s Distale goes straight for the jugular with 'Tantal' - a relentless piece of hard-as-nails techno. Rounding off the internationally diverse release, Murat Uncuoglu from Turkey finds a deep groove with 'Full of Magic' - the drums swing and the bass pulses, while the drops and builds are perfectly crafted for maximum tension on the floor.

Tracklist:
01. Alex Stein: Gojira
02. Olivier Giacomotto: Eake
03. Distale: Tantal

US producer SHADED brings his signature vibe to the Senso imprint, and seems to instantly fit right in. The two track release gives the Californian born-and-raised artist the opportunity to share his slightly twisted take on techno with a new audience, and he does not disappoint. First up is 'Rippple' - a tough and muscular technoid workout with biting claps, shuffling percussion and a wonky bassline. It’s tight as a drum production wise, but gives off an unhinged atmosphere from start to finish. Similarly the second track 'Sumbody' manages the same feat. The rising and falling arpeggiated synth line, moving in and out of the mix brings a disorienting presence, underpinned by a driving, pulsating rhythm track. This is techno at its most celebratory.

Berlin-based Michael Knop is the man behind the Distale moniker - a name that had fast become synonymous with pumping, emphatic house and techno. This three tracker for Oliver Huntemann's Senso Sounds label showcases exactly what Distale is about. 'Exe' is a moody tech house bomb with a huge drop towards the end, built up through tight drum programming and knack of controlling the space within the track. 'Control One' is a shade tougher, edging towards straight up techno. Its pure warehouse vibes - a sick rhythm track augmented with industrial, metallic percussive elements and rising stabs. 'Mindset' rounds off the trio - another slick and steely take on the dancefloor, slowly developing in to a drama filled cut perfect for the very late nights.

For his second outing on Senso Sounds, Brazilian DJ / producer Alex Stein drops the Maelstrom EP. Senso is home to all things techno, lovingly curated by label boss Oliver Huntemann, and here Stein unleashes two ferocious tracks that live up the release title. 'Maelstrom' is a driving, lean and mean slice of prime techno goodness. Exhibiting a keen ear for sound design and an
even greater sense for drama and tension, Maelstrom is a big room banger with plenty of subtle edges. Likewise, 'Steep' takes no prisoners - crisp percussion and a thick, propulsive kick start things off, before arpeggiated synths, pads and a killer bass pulse take things to the next level. This is techno stripped to its primal energies, and a marks the next step on what promises to be a
very interesting career for the man from Sao Paulo.

Township Rebellion step up with the autumnal-inspired, adventure-ridden four-track EP Balance. Opening track Romeo revolves around a sparse, dramatic bassline and similarly sentimental synths, making for introspective flashes on the dancefloor. On November were greeted by grand melodies with huge, spacious pads and monumental breakdowns, the perfect ingredients to spark up those emphatic, hands-in-the-sky type of moments. Meanwhile, Monocloque flips the script and reveals ample pads in a spectral, dark sound palette, decked with ominous synths and looming resolutions. Splatters of percussion and haphazard chords are key on Compass North, rounding up the release in a similarly lofty yet dance-provoking manner.

Bloodlines is the next taste of Hot Since 82's recently announced album project on Knee Deep In Sound. Above all, the 8-track concept provides the artist a blank canvas, widening the musical scope to allow greater creative exploration without the confindments of an EP. Hot Since 82's 8-track is expected to be released in March of 2019.

The release of Bloodlines comes a month after Hot Since 82's wrapped up his second season as Pacha Ibiza's Friday night resident. His Labyrinth residency made waves after smashing its first season in 2017 and has established itself as one of the most popular nights on the island and the perfect testing ground for new material.
