<p>Eric Sneo&#8217;s hit &#8220;Metanoia&#8221; gets updated and first up is a beefed-up version with an assortment of effects and tasty synth action injected into it. Pig &amp; Dan have taken over for the remix, and opt for a completely different approach, employing intricate percussion and crackling highs into their shuffling groove. Focusing on the main theme, the boys bring out their loopy sensibilities and let the melody shine, courtesy of their sparse arrangement and subliminal bassline.</p>

Bedrock keeps up the creative techno pressure with a stunning double-header from Harvey McKay, who has emerged from Glasgow’s underground clubbing scene to become one of the hottest new prospects around with his distinctive driving, energetic, soulful style that makes his tracks so unique.

Having already provided a highlight for Bedrock’s Underground Sound Of Miami Series 3 album (the huge “Phone Freaker”), and collaborated with Carlo Lio on the highly popular “Droid Decay” (Beddigi40), Harvey McKay returns to round-off 2014 in style with “Amen” and “Cry Wolf”.

The perfection with which he blends a raw, pounding groove with a simple, soulful vocal hook is mark of a man pure creative talent. Subtle house-influenced flourishes take the whole production process up a level, giving the track a spacious sound with character and depth that few can equal. “Cry Wolf” takes this creative blueprint in a heavier, hypnotic, and equally distinctive direction. 

It’s no wonder that Harvey McKay regularly tops the Beatport Techno Charts. Apart from his exceptional tracks on Bedrock, he has released standout gems on Drumcode, Cocoon and Soma, along with a string of monster remixes. With a talent like this rising on the global stage the future of techno certainly looks very exciting indeed!

The unstoppable trio was back at work on Mallorca in Pig&Dan's techno ministry to create another colourful techno anthem while Alberto Ruiz was literally next door to rework last year's anthem 'Soulstice'. Monika Kruse, the german Queen of Techno doing serious negotiations with the two Elevate ministers definitely makes sense and should reign the techno world with all its power.

A return to the source: ‘Ribcage’ is where it all began for the Dubfire project. After years of exploring, subverting and setting brave new benchmarks in the house world, this marked the start of Ali Shirazinia setting out to set the same creative benchmarks in techno. Restrained, drawn-out but beastly when it wanted to be, the original was a serious statement of intent. Even at the time you got a sense it was going to be a historic tune. Loco Dice especially felt that when he signed it to Desolat 10 years ago.

To celebrate this time-flying milestone, Dubfire’s recruited two of the most respected names possible for remix duties. First up, the unstoppable, unavoidable, unquenchable Dense & Pika who keep within the dramatic rising template but with a whole new set of instruments and textures… And a percussion palette that absolutely sizzles when the whole groove kicks in mid-way. Phenomenal.

Hot on their heels comes a unique remix invitation to On-U legend and one of the UK’s most decorated and treasured studio controllers Adrian Sherwood. Turning in a serious techno re-cut that pays tribute to every element and takes over 12 minutes to make sure they each shine amid the head-twisting pools of tripped-out decay, it’s clear his time with Pinch has had a profound effect.
Two incredibly well considered and detailed remixes that remind you what remixes should be… Brave new chapters of a story we all love being told. These will sound great when the 20th anniversary remixes are commissioned in 2027.

Title track “Varuna” is a mindful creation of deep winding synth work which gets the track moving, highlighted with crispy percussive notes. The building modulations make this track kind of ethereal and melodic, in comparison to the fiery B-side.

We have to admit it in front: Cocoon loves Harvey McKay! Already his Cocoon Recordings debut on the "Dots & Pearls II" compilation has the finger on the pulse, as it appears to us. Everything should be more orientated to "beat one". McKay follows the return to Techno and strong beats, and delivers a hi-energy package that has no peer.

"Shake" is Techno at its best! Dub Techno elements in a Basic-Channel-style meet kicking, masculine beats as you may know most likely from Santos releases, all united in the meanwhile typical McKay style. McKay is the incarnate Techno beat, and "Shake" is no exception! Given McKay's standards, "Move" is almost a breather. Well, it's still equipped with a mighty kick drum, but everything comes in a little more tranquil. A new twist on McKay, if you want, with a strong Detroit and Berlin flair. Urban, dark, thoughtful and the matching soundtrack for grey city skies on Sunday morning at 7:30h, on the way home from Panoramabar.

With "Mind's Eye", Harvey McKay then returns to his usual style. We hear a dark Tech-House piece with crashy synth chords that remind of the big Slam and Underworld hits. Great vocal samples round up the rave reminiscence in a perfect way!

After years and years of this never ending House revival, McKay presents three fat and peak-time-suitable muscle tracks that transport only one message: PAAAR-TAAAAY!
