Following on from the summer’s mischievous double header, ‘Octopuss / Karter Bachnabel’ (Figure 47), the two techno institutions that are Len Faki and Johannes Heil are back. If ‘Volume I’ reflected an upbeat, festival-friendly summer vibe, then ‘Volume II’ welcomes us indoors to the winter season, with two darker, straighter and more paranoid weapons. 


Both ‘Dirty’ and ‘Maniac’ continue the strong blueprint of the first EP, with the producer’s trademark rolling bass and intense arrangements making them perfectly-honed for the big floors.

‘Dirty’ takes an old school, intense party-techno vibe with a grinding organ hook leading us into the heart of the beast. Taking the best of 90s techno’s slamming drums -crisp claps and searing hi-hats - combined with the two producer’s top class production, its quite a handful.

No less effective is ‘Maniac’, a more introspective workout that fuses a pumping, warehouse vibe with submerged, filtering synth play. At once psychedelic, yet funky and timeless, it snakes and stalks its way through 7 minutes of classy reductionism. Simply masterful techno from two of it’s key contributors.
