London based DJ and producer Mark Broom makes his next appearance on Posthuman’s Balkan Vinyl imprint by supplying a driving and hypnotic acid cut to the ‘Mutant City Acid Vol. 4’ compilation.

With decades of experience releasing on labels like Saved, 20:20 Vision, Material Series and Edit Select Records, Mark Broom’s catalogue is well stacked with diverse material. That said, his brand of acid stands out in the industry and is in high demand, which makes the latest track on Balkan Vinyl that much more satisfying.

‘Connection’ showcases a droning motif with humming atmospherics at the core of steady acid tones and booming bass. The track builds into piercing tension before a deep release making for a captivating dancefloor bomb.

‘Mutant City Acid Vol. 4’ is set fro release end of July and also includes tracks by Drvg Cvltvre, Nehuen and Han Do Jin (aka Warlock).

Listen to ‘Connection’ below.

When I played in Belgrade I met this talented newcomer Ilija Djokovic who played a great set before me. He sent me his tunes and I was so impressed that I put one of his tracks on my essential mix right away.
I hope you enjoy these deep soulful techno release as much as I do plus a funky Hatzler remix! (Monika Kruse)

Berlin/Barcelona based OFF Recordings is run by Andre Crom, focusing its sound to varying degrees of Techno.

Following releases that have featured the likes of Charlotte de Witte, Oliver Deutschmann and Cari Lekebusch, the labels new release from Polish artist DEAS is another Techno stomper, with dark atmosphere and a dancefloor focus.

This is the second release by DEAS on OFF Recordings, and he has released on a number of other labels ranging from Pan-Pot's Second State to Kevin Sanderson's KMS Records. Also playing regular gigs in Poland and across Europe, the talented DEAS is fast becoming one of Techno's most exciting breakthrough artists.

DEAS lists influences such as Dubfire, Plastikman and Robert Hood but in his own words "is never a subject to stereotypes and clichés", which allows him to think freely and create music without boundaries.

First on the release is "Mentality" which centres round a rolling groove with forward momentum, and a sonar effect that creates a vast and spacious sound. The lead synth has a hint of euphoria which contrasts nicely with the juddering bass stabs that shake the track's foundation.

The second track "Monotheism" has a pulsating bassline and distorted kick drum that pounds relentlessly underneath the delicate dreamscape of the lead synths melody. The hard undertones and sort layers combine with finesse, and make this a distinctly mesmerising slice of dancefloor focused Techno.

Third is "Paranoia" and its synthesised tom drums rich with white noise and intense drama which merge with the cosmic pads of epic proportion. With a grinding bass sound and stabbing synth rhythm, the tracks eerie atmosphere paints pictures of alien worlds and dystopian landscapes.

Last on the EP is "Kamikaze" which has a paranoid vocal sample and unnerving melody that blended with the uptempo groove, give the track a ferocious energy. With an abrupt start and ending, this is take no prisoners Techno that gets straight down to business, and will not disappoint when played in a club setting.

Techno titans Pan-Pot are proud to present SUM 7, the latest compilation on their esteemed Berlin label Second State. It’s another quality release full of class and character, and as always, plenty of dancefloor ammunition.

“Parallax” is a case in point. British producer Jon Rundell teams up with Canadian producer Carlo Lio on this tickling groover that takes its time working towards an understated but deeply satisfying release. A versatile club weapon for techno and house dancefloors, “Parallax” sees both producers at the height of their powers. Up-and-coming Italian producer Endrew delivers an impressively mature slice of techno in “Cyclic Venture”, a lean, fidgety track that builds tension with restless windblown synths and tinny arpeggios. Glaswegian Gary Beck’s “Rapture” is a jacking body-mover propelled by cheeky guitar riffs and a winking vocal sample. Sexy and full-bodied, it’s guaranteed to get backs off walls.
London-based and Naples-indebted, Hyperloop and his track “A Journey” are built for big rooms. True to the producer’s name, its menacing synths are designed to induce a hypnotic state. A slow and stealthy build creates an undeniable energy. Together, Dutch producer JNO and Italy’s Giovanni Carozza don’t mess around. A peak-time bomb for getting the crowd worked into a frenzy, the insistent horn synths and thumping drums of “Crispy” mean serious business, especially in the furious final stretch. No standing, only dancing here. Germany’s Klaudia Gawlas, working with Argentinian DJ and producer Flug, who already released a track on Second State’s last compilation, turns in a moody, simmering techno track, “The Matrix”. Like the film, it’s both futuristic and strangely trippy, perfect for switching gears in the room.
Neapolitan producer Raffaele Rizzi brings in fresh rave energy that sounds at once old and new. The proggy synths on “Fluorescence” are indeed technicoloured and a frosty female vocal sample lends the production an alluring mystique. After she released a sharp tune on the SUM 6 earlier this year, on “Enough”, Risa Taniguchi creates a chilling mood with repeated vox and a squelchy synth, combining to create a sense of foreboding. Second State mainstay Rocko Garoni turns the vibe a little weird, in a good way, on “Sane”. It’s a mind-melting combination of synths and textures that blossoms into unexpected directions mid-track. One for the afters.
Venetian Sara Simonit lends a certain northern cool to “13 Guns”, and brings a lively, energizing techno track with a delicious build and housey groove to this compilation. Veteran Dutch producer Secret Cinema still has it: the ability to create a mood that keeps the crowd on their toes, but always dancing. Closing the compilation, the shuffling beat of “Creaking” would work as well in a club as at a forest rave; we’d expect nothing less from this master.

In sum, this is another thrilling compilation from the ever-reliable Second State, showcasing industry veterans alongside exciting new talents. The dynamic range of sounds and styles within makes SUM 7 essential for techno DJs and techno fans alike.
