Soma welcome the debut album from the ever-growing roster of youthful talent as Lewis Fautzi drops The Gare Album, named in homage to The Gare Club, Porto, where Lewis made his discovery of Techno. A bold 4 track single debut gave rise to the album process midway through 2013 and under the careful supervision of Soma, Lewis has provided a definitive peak in his sound cultivated on the back of years of studio work. A collection of deep, dark and twisted techno awaits heralding a coming of age for the Portuguese native.

A droning, industrial vibe is immediate from the outset as Signal crackles into existence giving way to the cavernous UBV-76 with its concrete swathes of noise. High intensity pings form the depths give a sense of what is to come. Intriguing, broken beats deepen proceeding as Lewis takes things to The Other Side of Reality. A momentarily respite before he begins to open things up. Blocker takes the tempo up a notch with a thumping kick and looped out chaotic synths that slowly build the tension. This brooding atmosphere is carried on into the tweeked out and mesmerizing Sick, the punishing, bleeped workout of Range and the relentless, discord of Loudness. By this point Lewis has really worked up into a frenzy. Tight percussive workouts keep this album firing on all cylinders. A short interlude is offered as Opaque drifts quickly through the chaos of this straight to the floor album. Through the darkness, a glimmer of Hope shines through, albeit a cold and fleeting techno version as Lewis leaves you bare and bleeding. Yet more dance floor action as the elasticated synths of Binary (recently remixed by Spanish techno don Oscar Mulero) tear through the backbone of the album. By far Lewis’ most destructive track. The static buzz of Psychiatric is a welcome come down from the headiness of the previous track allowing Lewis to lead us through the black hole, ending on the Other Planet. It’s swirling, vortex like pads sliced open with subtle percussive, other worldly bleeps. A fitting end to this hyperactive techno journey.

A definite maturity in production shines through on this fantastic LP from Fautzi as he creates a cold and calculating output, clearly focused on the future. The Gare Album has allowed Fautzi to express himself fully through electronic music, a task that he has taken to whole-heartedly.

Shinedoe’s tenth MTM release is a reminder of how effective her precision approach can be. GEMS is four tracks that have been focused under years of dancefloor experience. Hypnotic Techno with crisp drum programming, refined atmospheres and basslines that do the heavy lifting whilst sitting integral to the groove.

“Stand Up” is classic Shinedoe with taut percussion, gradual pressure, a unique bass idea that feels more like a an FM synth mantra than a hook. The “Rework” leans deeper, blurring the space the original bass took and opening room while keeping the pulse locked. Next “Gold” nudges into peak-time territory with a unreal rhythm and bass section that has already lit-up Berghain this season.

Closing GEMS we have “Alkebulan” Mother of human mankind. The Garden of Eden. It was the original name for Africa. In Alkebulan she brings Igbo the ancient Egyptians, her ancestors into the here and now. The track has a depth to it rarely heard, threading ancestral motifs into a rolling framework that feels grounded and quietly euphoric.

Nothing here chases drama. Instead, GEMS favours precision, power and practise. The kind of tracks that glue a night together and bring the dancefloor with them. Irresistible.

Format: Vinyl 12', Digital
Release: Aug 1th, 2017
Pre order: bit.ly/2wdn3Mn

Nastia Reigel is the latest artist to join the impressive roster from Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records. ‘Trust, Intimacy’ is as dark as it is poetic, delivering a perfect take on contemporary techno.

‘Trust, Intimacy’ fuses her top tier production skills with her own vocals for a unique and introspective four tracker. ‘Nachalo’ is the perfect intro track while the title track and ‘Transformed’ are destined for peak time madness. The EP closes with the most emotional moment of the EP, Acceptance…an ideal closing track that could just as easily lead the entire single.

Premiere: Nastia Reigel - Transformed [Enemy Records]

Track released on Hayes Collective first Ep "HYS001"

A2 Moddullar - Encrypt

Having only a scant few releases to its name, L.B. Dub Corp, one of Luke Slater's lesser used guises, slinks in and out of the scene, dropping off quality EP's and remixes when you least expect it. Finding a new and appropriate home on Ostgut, the Take It Down (In Dub) EP has two spacey hitters. A slappy bass, a noise wash, and a growling kick are what kick off the title track, slowly giving way to a slightly pitched down vocal drop of "take it down." 

Not nearly as high in the BPM's as Slater's Planetary Assault System productions, "Take It Down" is a slyly warping beast. It has a pristine sludge to it that begs for an eyes-closed demonic shuffle, its brooding drone perfect for early hour madness. More than halfway through, though, the entire thing shifts to reveal a grimey, rinsed out synth that opens the entire 11+ minutes of the track up to a new feel and intensity. 

Where things really get interesting is on flipside "It's What You Feel." One of the most inviting basslines in a while partners with a steady synth pad for a cleverly produced house track. A steady groove paves the way for a classic piano line summoned from Chicago. This B-side monster is the perfect counterpart to the A, and makes this one of Slater's best efforts since his PAS EP on Ostgut last year.
