Technito wapo

ASEC is back on his self-titled imprint with five mesmerising techno cuts featuring remixes from PoleGroup’s Kwartz and Soma’s Temudo.
ASEC is a Berlin-based artist and label project centred around raw, yet hypnotic dancefloor-oriented electronic music. To Berlin via Manchester, ASEC’s productions focus on tension and release with tracks that build momentum and intensity. As a Producer, Live Act and DJ, ASEC delivers his driving and expansive electronic music vision, consisting of dark textures, idiosyncratic melodies and dynamic drum sounds. With releases exclusively on his label, ASEC’s tracks have acquired support from household names like Marcel Dettmann, Slam, Henning Baer and SNTS resulting in a live show debut at Tresor in 2020.
‘Small Collisions’ kicks off with elastic synths shimmering off the resounding kicks and crunchy modulations before ‘High Tool’ maneuverers between hypnotic atmospheres and dark, ominous textures balanced with ghostly pads and thudding percussion with emphatic frequencies. Up next, Looping transcendental rhythms, gloopy fx and entrancing leads peppered with undulating minimalism takes focus in the ‘F Brexit’.
Madrid-based artist and PoleGroup, Mord, Semantica and Warm Up affiliate Kwartz delivers a pounding remix of ‘Small Collisions’ as the carnivorous percussion bounces with the raw oscillations, fizzing, industrial components and dramatic machine sonics. Temudo is part of a new generation of techno artists with releases on Soma, Modularz, Clergy, Synewave and more, rounds off in exquisite style with a swinging interpretation of ‘High Tool’ fusing ripping rhythms, frazzled soundscapes and penetrating textures.

ASEC ‘ASEC004’ is out on ASEC on 2nd April 2021 (Vinyl) and 14th May 2021 (Digital).

Nørbak - Force Faith [HYS.K006.1]

Hold on tight and listen back to 90 minutes of wavering fierce techno by The Advent, live-recorded at Circolo Amelia: you are in for a treat!

The London-based veteran can be described in many ways: a pioneer, a sound designer, an icon, an outsider... Mostly though, he is known for his interpretation of what we call Techno, as he represents everything about it that we’ve learned to love.

The Detroit aficionado offers clobbering compositions, scratchy textures, and punishing mechanical rhythms: his sets are packed with peak-hour frequencies, driving loops and a whole lot of renegade, merciless energy.

Dimi Angélis - Abstract Universe: The Past, Present & Future 
        www.axisrecords.com

Ever since his first encounters with techno, Dimi Angélis has remained intrigued by its minimalist nature. Abstract, hypnotizing elements that, when played at the right, high BPM during a DJ-set will create something transcendent. An actual journey.

Although he’s produced numerous tracks before, some of them of this very stripped down nature, never before did he do so as part of an EP, let alone an album. About time then to venture away from his trademark raw stuff into minimalist territory and touch hidden roots.

With Abstract Universe Dimi returns to Axis Records, having previously released The Martian Mystique EP in 2006 on 6277, as one half of Counterpart. Since then Dimi has released a string of music on his own ANGLS Records, Mord, Warm Up Records, Falling Ethics and Key Vinyl.

“This project is a culmination of a number of lengthy studio sessions, dating back to November of 2019”, Dimi explains. “Inspired by the early work by Robert Hood, I used only the Roland TR-909, SH-101, JP-08 and sequenced them using Machine Drum. I wanted to create an album that will work at any club’s dancefloor."

The result shows. Simplicity is key throughout. High tempo, drums, that one bassline and meticulous groove-elements. “I strived to keep the arrangement captivating by making subtle, slight changes to it. A hi-hat, a ride, a short break, never overindulging. Less really is more." 

"Those recording sessions turned into live jams, the best parts of which I've selected and are now on this album." 

Eleven of them made the cut, containing everything from dark and deep to stripped funk and peak time minimal. Hardware only, one take, no computers, no edits.

"Abstract Universe feels like coming full circle for me, rediscovering the essence of techno through the elimination of everything but the bare essentials. Rhythm and groove at its finest."

Towards The Mess EP

MORD074 - Kaiser - Towards The Mess EP [Previews]

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS174

The second part of 2020’s ‘Converge - Part I’, a body of music which saw enthusiastic responses from the likes of Surgeon, Lauren Flax, DJ Bone, Anthony Parasole and Jus-Ed to name just a few, sees the Berlin-based DJ/Producer and dancer generously expand on and refine his slick vision of techno on one of electronic music’s key labels.

By encompassing warm and soulful textures within club focussed grooves, Hester continues to explore the far reaches of both the musical cues picked up from his years as a dancer and formative time spent in the Midwest US, connecting influences from Chicago, Minneapolis, and Detroit.

Stretched across a double LP, the album opens with the spacious and icy ‘Stealth’ followed by the machine communications of ‘Artificial Intelligence’. The B-side sees a whirlwind of the synthetic in ‘Instant’ before ‘Contact’ swiftly picks up the pace with it’s warbling pads and slippery percussion.

On the second disc, ‘Circadian Slip’, custom-built for dancefloor pandemonium, continues with off-kilter leads and vocal snippets before ‘Shadows’ brings eerie syncopation to the proceedings. In the final stretch, ‘Silver’ maintains steady energy into the twilight hours, and the gorgeous ‘Wonder’ closes out the LP beautifully, providing a soft landing to an exceptional journey through Hester’s sound.
