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.

It's Bliss

DJ, singer and producer Mona Yim is releasing a four track EP on Diynamic titled „See Me".
The eponymous opening tune is a gentle affair, with shy arpeggiated bells, Mona's ethereal vocals over a cheeky bass line and drums.
„Want U" kicks it up a notch - the Housey groove will make you get your back up off the wall!
„Feel So" hypnotizes you like the patterns of smoke slowly moving through a room - just close your eyes and get lost.
And in „After Dark", she paints a picture like a Murakami novel - you are transported into a cozy Tokio bar with sombre golden lights and a mixologist that's hand-carving ice cubes into the most intricate shapes.
