3. ROBERT HOOD – ‘PROTEIN VALVE’ (EDIT 2)

Following Robert Hood’s remixes of his Floorplan tracks ‘Never Grow Old’ and ‘Phobia’ in June, he’s back with new edits of ‘Protein Valve’, originally released on M-Plant in 1994, the year of the label’s inception.

As well as other early releases like ‘Internal Empire’, ‘Music Data’ and ‘Moveable Parts’, ‘Protein Valve’ helped set the standard for his M-Plant label becoming synonymous with a stripped down, tough and rhythmic raw sound that many artists still try to emulate.

The original ‘Protein Valve EP’ is a classic in the annals of Techno, which still gets played today and sounds as fresh as it did some 20 years ago.  Nevertheless Robert Hood takes an introspective look back and delivers these three incredible new edits!

Focussing on the bass elements these fresh versions keep the M-Plant ethos at their core with their pure efficiency and Hood’s mastery at getting right to the point of a track, with his focus always on the groove.

A1 - Robert Hood - Protein Valve Re-Plant MASTER (Snippet)

We kick off 2015 with our third black label disc from young Manchester producer, Reflec. 

Imbued with elements of the North's industrious past, but flecked with hints of Birmingham and Detroit techno, Reflec manages to squeeze every ounce of life out of his machinic workings, presenting them in a progressive and extended form that couples as a club journey in the truest sense. 

Opener 'Untitled' is a popping, rhythmic dub techno slammer that recalls early Basic Channel at their most melodic, via the early releases of Delsin, Modern Love and other such luminaries. 

'Pad Acid' does what the title implies, setting a roaring acid bubble-bath against a steadily descending cosmic pad line - rapturous and slowly evolving. 

Finishing out the rout is 'Extraordinary Lives', cut with extra London shuffle and bounce and featuring a heavily processed proto-piano stab that rattles and clangs in the undergrowth of rumble-heavy 808 programming.

Out now on digital release - https://lnk.to/RSPX02

USA’s Jon Hester serves up four heady techno cuts for the second instalment in Rekids’ newly launched techno orientated series Special Projects.

Based in Berlin, Hester’s discography may be humble but it is one of pure quality. The American techno producer has released on Rødhåd’s Dystopian, appeared on a release alongside the likes of DJ Richard, Hinode and Arthur Kimskii (Point Break) on L.A.G., and now joins the Rekids Special Projects series featuring FBK, Markus Suckut and DJ Deep.

Heaving distorted kicks and echoing stabs lay the blueprint to ‘Inertia’ whilst intricate hats make way for metallic melodies. Speeding things up, ‘On The Move’ is a more driving cut in comparison with its trippy atmospherics and crunchy percussion, whereas the surging ‘Short Circuit’ demonstrates syncopated percussion and ominous synths for a rhythmic dancefloor workout. Finally, ‘Neurons’ sees various cosmic elements ebb in and out of the mix for a mesmerising conclusion.

Continuum III: Fluctus

Vortex (Original Mix)

‘Paul’s Horizon’ – @Ryan-Elliott’s first EP in six years – falls musically between Berlin and Detroit, between house and techno and between hypnotic repetition and unpredictability, revealing a subtle ear for groove and composition.

It’s the DJ’s perspective that has informed the Berghain / Panorama Bar resident's own analogue productions, with ‘Paul’s Horizon’ turning its focus toward deep and slick percussion. This is apparent from the get-go, with the title track’s triangle/clap interplay, funky 5-6 kicks per bar, and bleary-eyed atmosphere. From there “Martinsville Morning” slows down into an understated sunrise groover, led by bassline, strings and pads. EP closer “Grafton Road” turns up the pace again with gasps for hats, aggressive punctuating snares, and a modulating synth bubbling-up throughout.
