Writing about techno is quite difficult without falling into clichés: there are only so many ways that you can say something about a music whose core elements are forged on deliberate repetition; where real talent is attributed to those who can find the perfect groove where nothing needs added or subtracted to hold the listener's attention for upwards of five minutes. 

Such tracks are the hallmark of Tresor's catalogue, and this joy in repetition can be found in works from Detroit, Berlin, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and more. And it is through this lens that Parisian artist, UFO95, focuses his output, resulting in Backward Improvement, an EP that sits perfectly in the spectrum of techno found in the Tresor chronology. 

The title itself makes an abstract reference to the influence of the classics of the genre, inspiring him to take a distinct less-is-more approach to production for this collection of stripped-down yet unrelenting techno chiselled from the live set which has fixed UFO95 as one of the next holdfasts for the future of the scene. 

Perhaps it is the fact the UFO95 only performs live that had led to such crisp and focussed studio productions.; each of the tracks showcase the artist's burgeoning talent for creating the essential foundations of techno; perfect, looping, instinctual grooves that are counterbalanced by an apprehensive tension from off-key tones. 

Backward Improvement marks the addition of a new name in the list of techno's best producers and proves that while the genre may now be in its 40th year there are yet sonic explorations to be made and variations that are worth unearthing.

Time for another mini compilation in our catalog, always the same procedure, three new artists and three from our
family, numbers 01, 03 and 05 are the new additions to our roster and numbers 02, 04 and 06 the family ones.
This being said, the first cut is by French legend Arnaud Le Texier, providing Shelter, a relentless continuous driller in
the best Birmingham tradition, no mercy here, direct weapon for the dancefloor.
Groof, the Spanish techno originator puts his machinery to work on Motorn, straight rhythms, carefully crafted sound
design, all into a super clever arrangement administered at a human BPM rate, something rare to see these days.
Carara keeps the pace with CFBDSIR 2149-0403 again a straightforward groove, percussive and intense, with a
superb metallic synth line keeping things busy.
On Galactic Tech, Alavux dives into sci-fi realm but with a lofi approach on textures and sounds, no pads here, just
adrenaline.
Label owner G02 put his focus on the nineties tradition with Switch On, a classic track full of soul and old school vibes.
Last but not least, Amby Iguous, put the cherry on the pie with Movements, a superb vocal sample workout with
Reese style bassline, absolute magic for the best sound systems out there.

[PREMIERE] | Buck - Destinazione  [SUBSTRATO10]

◘ Edera EP by Buck, Retina.it

Artist: Buck
Track: Destinazione
Label: Substrato
Genre: Electronic
Style: Techno
Cat No: SUBSTRATO10
Release: 27.03
Format: Digital

Following the release of LUCE VA, Substrato Records unveils Edera EP, a split record blending the intricate artistry of Buck and Retina.it, marking the 10th release of the Italian imprint. Edera EP emerges as a dualistic exploration of techno's essence—where Buck's softer, enveloping soundscapes contrast with Retina.it's sharper, more assertive tones.

Buck infuses "Perseverante" and "Destinazione" with a hypnotic, cerebral pulse. His tracks are a journey through a dystopian yet organic realm, where modular sounds entwine with evolving basslines and shadowy sequences, creating a captivating, entrancing groove. On the flip side, the duo Retina.it, brings its distinctive edge to "Cable Under Pressure" and "Strechness Taking Over." Their sound, honed through decades of experimentation, exudes a more angular and aggressive energy. With fine-crafted sound design and evolving percussions, they weave a narrative that's both stark and immersive.

1. Perseverante
2. Destinazione
3. Cable Under Pressure
4. Strechness Taking Over
