A Habit I Can't Break (Reznik & Mikesh Remix) [feat. Zoot Woman]

The formidable Rex The Dog returns with his first single for Kompakt in three years, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy”, a slow-burning disco-glitter stomp that’s charged with analogue energy. Pushing his self-built modular hardware set-up to its limits, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy” is taut and thrilling, stripped-back and pulsating, with sweeping chords shimmering through a classic Moroder arpeggio, as a delirious voice sings out a psychedelic raver’s plaint for liberation, pleading for you to "take away my sorrow and this pain”. Deeply emotional, it’s also a masterwork in tension and release, dizzy with snare-rush peaks, and dark, humid valleys where Rex is bound to the patchbay.

On the flipside, Rex gives us “Moto”, which tickles your ear with cymatic phenomena, its gentle vibrations building, beautifully, into a monster-piece of stealth techno. Rex’s DIY synths work overtime as he chases patterns and phases through circuitry, wilding the tones until they erupt into a spray of pointillist pizzicato. The sounds here crackle and corrode, the textures so tantalising, so sensual, you can almost grab hold of them with your hands. It’s great to have Rex The Dog back, making livewire, yet deeply human techno, alive and bursting with electricity.

The Four To The Floor 29 is here.
Opening track „Dance With Ibiza“ by Ugo Banchi with its bouncy groove is like the unison movements of a big crowd of dancers, each individual, but united through the same pulsating beat.
AFFKT’s „Ganbatte“ starts out as a gentle affair with a myriad of tiny plucks, like the dance of luminescent plankton in the dark night ocean, slowly swelling into one big wave.
„Star Wars“ by Matara is a sombre, almost dystopian track - imagine an array of out of control assembly line robots that suddenly gained consciousness and write their own compositions. Precise, effective, futuristic.
And closing off the FTTF29 is „Hypo“ by Carl Bee, a fast paced techno stomper that feels like a perfect storm.
