Techno

Bart B More - Bounce

No doubt about it, HypeLTD are on a bit of a roll at the moment; recent releases from the likes of JoeFarr, The Analogue Cops and Marco Bernardi have helped shape the Hypercolour sub-label into a consistent purveyor of raw and rootsy techno music.

On the ‘Split’ EP, various artists are assembled to flex their prowess, namely Warlock, Zoé Zoe & Enoah Ballard and Samuel Thalmann.

Opening up the EP is Warlock, the driving force behind London’s Rag & Bone label.  This seasoned British breaks and electro producer offers up ‘Sawhorses’, a weighty 909 kick and incessant, filtering stabs give this an air of familiarity, Berlin in sound, Detroit in spirit perhaps, but a straight up club cut for certain.  A proper jacker, and an ace reverse edit right on the end!

Lithuanian brothers, Zoé Zoe & Enoah Ballard, team up for the ‘1234’.  Zoé Zoe has been behind previous releases on Planet Mu and Sneaker Social Club, and joins his sibling on this dark and ravey breakbeat driven track.  The kind of cut that separates the wheat from the chaff come closing time at your local discothèque, ‘1234’ is both eerie, cosmic and flat out deep all at once.  

Closing this ‘Split’ EP is Samuel Thalmann AKA Okain, a man behind an incredible musical CV, including music for Tsuba, BPitch, Memento, Four:Twenty and many more.  Samuel offers up ‘Not Anymore’ under his birth name, a blinding 909 drum workout with some freaky Chi-town modulations goin on.  Almost like a perfect accompaniment to Warlock’s ‘Sawhorses’, this is simple yet effective dance track that’ll have ‘em jackin and pumping their fists til dawn.

Life is the only meaning of life, according to the existential Sisyphean attempt to find an explanation to our journey. And so, our second compilation in a series of concepts of elements focuses on different interpretations to the concept of life. Those interpretations are solely up to you, the listener. The powerful pieces carefully selected for this compilation can represent phases, events or simply every day’s routine. Just like with your life, you choose what to make of every sound, every instrument, every sample, every drum hit. It is for you to decide, if Victor Vera's Ethnic Paradise plays his own childhood for you, or your golden years for him. If Nino Bua's Plus Factor is a wild peak into his teenage years or an intensive drama in your family's history. Life and music, hand in hand, and you decide what to make of this production.

There is a certain type of funk that only Reset Robot can create and we’re happy to see his return to Truesoul with a rolling 4 track EP that incorporates his autograph sound. The steady drums that roll throughout each track are overlaid with many different parts to create 4 harmonious tracks to keep the dancefloor swaying. The bass lines are big, the melodies are infectious and the funk just keeps on giving. Another outstanding EP from Reset Robot to demonstrate why he is a Truesoul favourite.

Sidney Charles - Botafoch - Intec

Intec is known to many a fan of House and Techno as a scene leading label set up by the iconic Carl Cox who has been at the forefront of DJ culture since the early 90’s.

With a roster of artists including the label boss himself plus Nicole Moudaber, Jon Rundell, Marco Bailey, Carlo Lio, Cristian Varela and Dosem amongst many others of a similar calibre.

Intec welcomes back Irish born Ian O'Donovan who has featured music on labels including Drumcode, Bedrock, Connaisseur, Tronic, KMS and Planet E. Making his second release on the label, Ian who is known for his inventive and individual production style presents four original tracks on this solo release.

First up is the tribal groove of “Seeker” which fuses fast flowing percussion with a rolling bass line to create in infectious groove. Already full of energy, the frantic lead synth helps create a sense of urgency that’s instantly captivating and perfect for the dancefloor. Peak time Techno at its best this track should also appeal to fans of House who are looking for something with a little extra bite.

The second track titled "Curium" is led by the pulsating bass line and busy clap rhythm that intertwine with the rattling congas and rising chords. Get ready to put your head down and punch the air with excitement, as this potent slice of Techno will have you out of your seat and dancing round the room.

Third on the release is the deep pads and pitched toms of “99” that despite being the most laid back track on the release still packs a punch. Simple in structure, it’s a fine example of less being more, and the dramatic melody which builds into a held chord adds an extra layer of tension. Master crafted with just a touch of chic, this is Techno at its most classy.

Finishing off the release title track called “Tomahawk”. Arguably saving the best till last, its muffled chords contrast gritty textures with the overlaying glide of the lead synth. Getting more complex as it develops, the tracks epic structure has a slightly cosmic vibe, soon brought back to earth by the hard hitting and heavy percussion, which combined can only be described as peak time Techno with an emotional edge.

Kaiserdisco's 'Toleranz' EP is out via Drumcode October 24.

Premiere: Kaiserdisco - SQ 80 (Pleasurekraft Remix)

Intec is known to many a fan of House and Techno as a scene leading label set up by the iconic Carl Cox who has been at the forefront of DJ culture since the early 90’s.

With a roster of artists including the label boss himself plus Nicole Moudaber, Jon Rundell, Marco Bailey, Carlo Lio, Cristian Varela and Dosem amongst many others of a similar calibre.

This new release is from newcomer Jonno Brien, whose previous releases on labels such as Bush Records and Naked Lunch have picked up heavy DJ support from the likes of Ben Sims, Christian Varela and Todd Terry.

One of the people also regularly playing Jonno’s music has been Carl Cox, who has now invited him into the Intec family, with this stunning solo EP.

A respected DJ in his home country of Ireland and regular gigs playing alongside the likes of Dave Clarke and Slam, Jonno has also become recognised for his distinctive production style. Fusing elements of old school industrial techno with crisp and modern percussion to create a rolling groove tailored for even the most hard to please dancefloors.

Track one titled “Rollin” is named after its rolling groove, brought to life with shuffling hi-hats and tearing percussion. Lead by the dramatic chords of the building lead synth, the tracks hard hitting claps deliver a punishing sense of satisfaction.

“Move” is a statement as much as it is a title, its furious acid line commands physical movement in the form of dancing from all who listen. Impossible to resist the track is packed with a pulsating energy that erupts with venomous force as the menacing acid morphs, twists and turns.

This new release is from Intec regulars Drumcomplex & Roel Salemink who with this release makes their fifth appearance on the label as well as featuring their debut collaboration album in 2014.

Having also released music on Bush Records, Bulletdodge and Marco Baileys label MB Elektronics, the pair are no strangers to the world's Techno scene, and this release showcases their impressive sound in all its glory.

German born Arnd Reichow aka Drumcomplex and Dutch native Roel Salemink are both respected solo artists in their own right, but when the pair come together their complimenting styles have produced some of their most compelling work.

The first track Ampex is packed with tension thats brought to life by the underlying menace of its melody. Tom drums bubble up in a fast flowing rhythm which is soon complimented by a hard hitting clap to provide some added aggression. Taking no prisoners, this is dark and dancefloor focused Techno at its most exhilarating.

Second is Eighties which starts with looped chords that build with suspense as the track develops. When the main breakdown hits, so does the roar of the bass synth, which then tears through the track with devastating force. Peak time and perfect, this track is packed with a raw energy and cryptic sense of excitement.

Highlighting sets everywhere from Awakenings during ADE to Spazio 900 in Rome, the tracks are hard-hitting master studies in industrial-edged techno. ‘Going Down’ is built around a deep menacing vocal, as subterranean bass drums, thundering kicks and a sinister synth line combine for a high impact finish. ‘Future’ is a chunky stomper perfect for the winter warehouse party season, as multi-layered synths and effects rub shoulders with heavy-set drums to ensure this one hits its target.
