For I was wide awake, 
it was no dream 
A tree with spreading branches 
and with leaves 
Of divers kinds, 
dead silver and live gold, 
Shimmering in radiance 
that no words may tell

Go Hiyama 'Arc Three' (HHXV 03, JPN)

A1. Mean
A2. Philosopher – NX1 Remix
B1. Philosopher
B2. Modeling Of Lights

Welcome to the new output of HueHelix.
For our 3rd vinyl release, Go Hiyama brings this powerful EP with a superb NX1 Remix. Go opens up the EP with ‘Mean’ which contains full of darkness and dry atmosphere, and this track has already been compiled in the 2nd Unknown Landscapes mix CD by Christian Wünsch on PoleGroup Recordings. Then, NX1 breaks and rebuilds the original ‘Philosophy’ completely, which sounds almost another original track. After that, ‘Philosopher’ original version enlightens ‘techno for dancefloor’ theory with straight rhythm patterns and stabs. At last, ‘Modeling Of Lights’ closes the journey with very fearful and dark atmosphere. The whole EP is a story and Go is a great storyteller. This is a masterpiece of Go’s work.
Stay tuned for the next vinyl releases, you won’t be disappointed.

Monoloc | Gipson EP
[SOMA427D]

1. Gipson
2. Cupel 

Soma welcome Techno behemoth Monoloc for his label debut with two dark, brooding Techno tracks in his inimitable style with the ‘Gipson EP’. Monoloc was born in 1980 in Frankfurt am Main. He first got in touch with the booming electronic music scene of this Techno metropolis at the age of 16 and soon bought his first set of records. Since then, his life has revolved around his ultimate goal; manifestation of his musical vision in the form of dj sets as well as his very own productions.

Title track Gipson kicks off with deep, pumping subs and kicks with a slowing evolving atmosphere creating great tension through the body of the track. Monoloc subtly pulls back the throttle only to launch back it with bold, crashing percussion. Most definitely one for the more moody dance floor.

On the flip, Cupel starts off a little lighter but defiantly delivers a punch. Muted kicks and atmosphere provide the backdrop while delayed synths trip out over the top. Monoloc picks up the pace ever so slightly as skipping hi hats given the track more urgency before ethereal pads glisten through the heart.

An exciting debut from a true master of Techno

M_Rec Ltd 24 - Max_M - Dissertation

A - Exceeding Brightness
B1 - Architectural Lie
B2 - Scape Sequences

Release date: March 2015 (Vinyl)

OVERVIEW:
After a series of prized splits and collaborations, M_REC LTD's own Max_M returns with 'Dissertation', his latest fully-fleshed solo effort.

'The Kidnapper Bell' was his last EP for M_REC LTD. The avid vinyl lover and collector has since put his "maximalist" values to work sharing wax with the likes of Fabrizio Lapiana of Attic Music, as well as with newcomers Wrong Assessment. Not one to rush things, 'Dissertation' then comes at a peak time for Max_M and M_REC LTD, representing the culmination of a ceaseless dedication to the type of stolid, hypnotic brand of techno intrinsic to both chief and label.

"Exceeding Brightness" governs the A-side with blue blips set to a progressive chugging pace, enveloped in a trademark background of fuzzy mechanical whirrs. "Architectural Lie" then opens up the B-side with a loop of warm chords that roll into a tumult of diffused hats and jangled melodies. "Scape Sequences" concludes in a subaqueous fashion; viscous, heady and stupefying.

Jonas Kopp & Pär Grindvik @ Soenda Indoor 07.02.2015

The next PAS release comes via Mote-Evolver and it's three tracks of intergalactic techno sludge. It's dark, dingy and as industrial as a factory that makes robots designed to wipe out the human race.

We've got the premiere of 'Arc' and it's probably the gnarliest track on the EP. Both menacing and pulsating from the off, there's a wall of static in the background throughout and a breakneck pace that doesn't let up. Big.

Premiere: Planetary Assault Systems 'Arc'

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 16th of March 2015

A spiralling maze of echoing bleeps and blips, booming low-end and warped orchestral flourishes dominate Token's latest offering. Considering the EP comes from Miguel Sar, an artist who has made his name aligning pulsating 4am techno with as many abstract, otherworldly details as he can muster however, perhaps this is to be expected. Under the alias 'Tadeo', Sar has navigated his way through richly textured dub, meandering acid and rugged warehouse techno, arriving at a sound which takes influence from each of his previous endeavours.

Earlier this month Token was graced with its 50th release in the catalogue, Ctrls' rough-edged three-tracker, 'Users'. Joining the label's rather impressive roster, Sar follows in excellent form - the 'Terra Incognita' EP making up the Spanish producer, DJ and label owner's debut on the imprint. The EP keeps the listener in a constant state of suspense, mind-bending atmospherics and driving percussion working up to sweltering climaxes at Sar's chosen moments. 'The Possibility Of An Encounter' or 'Apollo 7' for example thunder forward leaving little room to gather breath, both sinister and hypnotic in equal measure.

'Deep Space' is another dark, unsettling affair. Arpeggiated chords snake between deep, tribal rhythms. Sar's intoxicating synthwork is reinforced by steadily building woodwind melodies, creating moments of rushing intensity before sinking backdown into  brooding soundscapes.

'Mind Possibilities' deploys a similar mediation between synthetic and acoustic textures, yet in other instances Sar chooses to turn the focus to almost entirely orchestral timbres. 'Despert' closes the release with staccato'd oboes, swelling low-end and delicate strings, showing creativity and versatility rarely found in EPs with this much dancefloor appeal.

Stimulated Reflex

Techno producer duo I/Y make their debut on the Dynamic Reflection label with their 'Objection' release. 'Objection' is a dark yet dance floor ready track, driven by playful rhythmic synths, pulsating low ends. The well designed stabs and atmosphere in 'Primary', ensure it can be played at almost any moment in a set. Furthermore, Sweden's trip master Acronym delivers two outstanding takes on the EP's A side, adding an amazingly layered amount of depth, while maintaining the driving force of the original. Essential dance floor material!

He strode towards a long drink.
Running in the gutter,
scanning patterns.          
Skin staring, stirring unbelief.
Scarred metal faces
on the iron streets,
spitting blood.

As it does from time to time, Delsin is focussing on a re-issue project in May: in line for a return to the spotlight is My Home is Sonic, a standout techno, dub and minimal album by Exos originally released in 2001 by Icelandic producer Arnvidur Snorrason aka Exos.

Exos is the son of dub techno producer Octal and released three albums in his career, as well as a swathe of fine EPs on labels like Thule, Mosaic, Slow to Speak and many others. His ability to build great atmospheres and heady soundscapes was unrivalled, and though they bottle up influences, they are always fresh, wintry and compelling. The re-issued album will be presented as a CD and LP and is due for release in May.
