Half a year after the Dutch DJ/producer’s debut release on his new Maximalist_Minimalist imprint, SAMA makes his return with MXMN002. Cementing the venture into his new, gritty sound, the release sees his pitch-perfect production moulded into another set of four hard-hitting, club-ready techno tracks.

Leading the release, ‘End All’ combines gritty shakers, hard kicks, and synth stabs for an eerie, atmospheric lead track. ‘Kill The Heat’ follows with dark arpeggiators over modulating rhythms and robust drums. On the flip, ‘Forced To Revolt’ kicks off the B-side with an intense vibe, placing the focus on evolving and interweaving synthesis, before ‘Tripping Over Wires’ closes the release with its groovy percussion and trippy melodic sensibilities.

“Meeting points,
the end is the beginning.
Echoes of a conversation
where revelation promises revolution.
My feet in the future
mark the direction of my movement,
and my mind in the present
turns illusion into experience.
I let go, I trust
and flow with the sound
of my silence.”

~ Ricardo Julian Santesteban

Anastasia Kristensen - Moments of Inertia [Turbo 232]
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/AnastasiaKristensen

Turbo Recordings is proud to present the label debut of Anastasia Kristensen, with her Moments of Inertia EP.

As we enter our 26th year of existence, Turbo is constantly and violently shocked that exciting techno music is still being made. After a certain point, you expect yourself to look a genre square in the face and say “Enough!” But we consider ourselves the luckiest vanity imprint on the planet to be able to harness the talent of artists like Copenhagen-based DJ-producer Anastasia Kristensen and serve it up to you in this - your darkest hour.

Escaping the massive shadow of Norway’s hip-hop scene, ‘Moments of Inertia’ captures a sound that evokes nothing but itself, as though Kristensen were recording sub-rosa dimensional machinery at oblique angles and arranging the best parts with the kind of narrative grandeur most techno artists would never dare interrogate. It should also be noted that the track “Paradox & Puzzle" shares a name with Tiga’s moderately successful escape room gastropub.

The A1 ‘I’d Love To Do It’ leads with vivacious drum programming and Kristensen’s enigmatic vocals setting the stage for 'Paradox & Puzzle’ which shares a name with Tiga’s moderately successful escape room gastropub. The title track closes the show with slamming industrial tones, summarizing Anastasia’s bespoke futuristic flow.

If you think Turbo might start slowing down in its mid-20s, we respectfully ask you to get real. And while you’re at it, get a clue. ‘Cause we know in our heart of hearts that music can and will save the day, even if it’s just for just one day.

Premiere: Emen - Don’t Go - Bunkaball

Out now: https://orcd.co/rspx70

Brunson’s ‘Intimacy Between Friends’ EP on Rekids Special Projects kicks off with 'Aminal'. Originally discovered via a 2017 BBC Radio 1 interview between Benji B and Underground Resistance co-founder Mike Banks, ‘Aminal’ was played on the show and subsequently sought out by Matt Edwards for release on RSPX in 2024 as part of the ‘Intimacy Between Friends’ EP.

‘Aminal’ by Brunson is a ten-minute odyssey into atmospheric deep techno. Wiggling acidic synth motifs and warm, radiant pads bring the soul to a tight groove, constantly evolving and allowing you to sink ever deeper into majestic chords which wash over you like rays of sunlight. Brunson’s 'My Friend Ryan' is another classic Detroit sound with machine warmth and energetic drum programming, which all work together to make you move your body while your heart is enriched by its vibrant soundscape. The wonderful 'Surf Break' is up last, built on a slick electro rhythm with booming kicks and more standout chords across the backdrop to bring a grand sense of scale and meaning to the groove.

Brunson released his first EP in 2023 via Berlin’s Tresor Recordings but has been active for a number of years before this as a Midwest American and Motor City producer while being the VJ behind Juan Atkins’ Model 500 shows. He now releases the ‘Intimacy Between Friends’ on Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects, already supported by artists such as Luke Slater, Laurent Garnier, and Jerome Sydenham.

https://g1ul10.bandcamp.com/track/trapped-in-a-changing-maze

The maze represents a beautiful metaphor for the many twists and turns of our lives, and is a symbol of hope and opportunity. Unlike the labyrinth, which has only one entry and exit point, a maze has multiple potential starting paths and endpoints.

At certain times in our lives it may seem as if there is only one unattainable way out, or worse yet, no way out of a seemingly insurmountable situation. In these moments we may feel trapped, cornered, hopeless, immobilized, or driven to desperate behavior by feelings such as fear, despair, regret, shame, or dread. These hurdles may lead us to respond with extreme emotions which can lead to hopelessness in any chance for change, the urge to give up on life or whatever we are engaged in, and feeling completely alone in the world. Severe depression and anxiety are some of the treatable conditions which can cause such symptoms.

The maze shows us that there are multiple choices in the paths of our life’s journey, and many chances to improve our situations through conscious change. There is always more than one way to solve any of our problems or to accomplish any of our goals. There is always another way out, a potential for change, and always hope, even if we cannot see these in our darkest moments.

All of us, even the most self-sufficient, need help and guidance at some point and for many different reasons. We cannot always plan or predict what the future holds or where our life’s journey will lead us. More often than not, things do not unfold exactly as we had imagined, for better or worse.

Unexpected circumstances may lead to challenges. These tests, however painful or impossible looking, represent multifaceted potentials for change and growth. It may take time and patience to work through these challenges and understand how to change course or persevere on our current paths.

Good Vibration (A.Pareja, V.Belenguer, Head Horny's RMX) (2023)

Fresh off of his re-activation of the seminal “Planetary Funk” series, Luke Slater delivers another new 12” with all of the purposeful intensity and sonic clarity to be expected from his celebrated Planetary Assault Systems alias. Pairing both an original mix and a spirited re-working by Josh Wink, “Kat” is a winning synthesis of all the elements that make P.A.S. such a continually relevant player in the game of moving bodies and opening minds: it once again pushes beat-driven sound to disciplined extremes, but not without clearly detectable traces of humor and playfulness.

As vocal repetition of the track’s simplistic and suggestive title is run through a maze of filters, pitch-shifts and delays, an equally busy set of tubular bass figures mirrors this approach and meshes with the insistent rhythm. Carefully inserted hard stops, crafty fading of sound from background to foreground, and unexpected breakdowns give the track a kind of restless feel that ensures its success as a peak hour selection, or as a reliable companion on inner-city underground transit journeys.

While the original mix on the b-side begins in a more subdued fashion, it isn’t lacking at all in concentrated energy. As is the case with so many other P.A.S. classics, this mix relies on geometrical sound sequences that slowly approach from a distance before they completely overtake the listener. Elements like static crackling are wielded here like active parts of the conversation rather than as atmospheric wallpaper, and the beat itself hits with a mixture of force and subtlety, with anxious drum hits doubling up on one another and regularly giving rise to new patterns.

“Kat” is the kind of record that gives Planetary Assault Systems fans both what they want, and what they didn’t expect: it steers away from easy techno conventions but never abandons that genre’s physicality and infectiousness.
