Techno

Random Musings, November 2016

After years apart, we've finally got the boys back on our screens later this month. What better way to celebrate than by marking another return, to the label of their post-breakout "Stash" victory lap. Aus, Belfast and Boiler Room: there's no place like home.

"Just" wastes no time locking the brisk rhythm into place before a wriggling earworm of a lead pans across the channels. Atmospheric swells are pieced by gatling-gun snares; the tension builds but never releases, making this a surefire precursor to the bulk of heavyweight set climaxes you're likely to hear this summer. As ever, the aural equivalent of 20,000 bicep emojis.

Grip the wax May 25th.

Bicep "Just" - Boiler Room Debuts

here's my remix of the classic house track "Gypsy Women". Free DL.

Gypsy Women (She's Homeless) (Fraser Dix Remix)

Back at our mammoth Stay True Scotland broadcast earlier this month, one track came real close to bringing The Caves' roof down during Nina Kraviz's powerhouse headline set. "I Wanna Go Bang" very nearly executed its titular statement – well, if the song was more about wrecking balls and less about...oh, never mind.

The vocals that stalk the track, so wholly devoid of humanity, rub up against razor-sharp claps and serious bounce in the subs. It's weighty warehouse techno of the highest order, set to devastate dark basements and big tents alike throughout the year. Simply put: Icelandic producer Bjarki has delivered a bomb.

Grip the physical via трип from July 15th onwards.

Neverdogs & Franz Costa - Upper Side EP
If there was ever a need to define Techno from Tech House, Neverdogs and Franz Costa display it in their powerful Upper Side EP. According to these three fantastic producers, one can be on the right side of Techno with an dance floor destroyer, backed by the perfect mood accelerating remix by Outlaw. Alternatively, one can also climb onto the upper side, perhaps into an epic, unforgettable afterhour transcending that magical bridge between the genres. One intensive, percussion-loaded piece, empowered by a groovy interpretation of Russ Yallop.

Up & coming Mexican producer @inigovontier lands on Turbo with some super-spiced, bass-heavy electro.

Following releases on labels like La Dame Noire, Nein and Correspondant, Iñigo Vontier’s solo career is catapulting him beyond the Latino frontier. Creator of tropical electronic act Salon Acapulco, one half of Sonido Fantasma, and cofounder of label Mix Le Fun, Iñigo has become one of the key players in Mexico’s rapidly evolving music scene.

For this breakthrough solo effort, he lays down bass heavy, punchy electro, starting with the lazer-blasting ‘Zu Zu Zu,’ continuing on the EBM-influenced ‘Whisp!’ and culiminating with the darkly epic ‘Furia’ which also gets the remix treatment from LA duo Split Secs.

The Peacemaker Project - Wir Sind Frei (Thomas Schumacher & Victor Ruiz Remix)

Butch’s newest offering ‘Retechno 2’ is a bass-heavy, dark, two track techno delight. The kick drums are intense, the samples interesting and the synths apparent – Butch’s quirky style of production can be heard throughout. Magnetic, holding a futurist edge with it’s spaceship sounds, cuts a deep groove with eager crescendos and heavy drops. Antimatter is packed with energy, a driving bass line and fierce drops. Butch’s productions are raw, powerful and robust - a release not for the faint hearted.

This is DJ Tonio's 3rd EP on Suara in only 16 months. Why? Because he delivers huge tunes that must see the light. "Closer, Faster, Stronger" is what a deep voice says. Those three words make this techno anthem. The package for this release is full of big names: the melodic-electronic style of Oliver Giacomotto, the old-new school techno combination from Thomas Schumacher and Victor Ruiz and the raw but effective grooves of Dennis Cruz. Tracks for dark dancefloors, big rooms and powerful soundsystems.

OUT NOW / Get it here: sensosounds.lnk.to/Humano

Senso Sounds drop a major release from techno heavyweight Dubfire and label boss Oliver Huntemann. Reuniting the partnership that has seen a string of seminal releases over the years in the form of their 'Elements' series, 'Humano' is the 2nd part of a continuation of this series - more weapons of grade dance-floor material from the high profile duo. Later on this year their partnership will be summarized in their 'Restrospec- tivo' album.
Former Deep Dish man Dubfire’s uncanny knowledge of how to create epic dance- floor moments is in full effect, combined with Huntemann’s precision tool production techniques on the original version of the title track. The result is a super tough, tight and incalculably driving slice of techno goodness that will ignite floors worldwide. The rest of the EP manages to maintain the pressure - with a set of sick remixes from Victor Ruiz, Hatzler and Shaded.
Ruiz, the Brazilian techno pioneer adds another level of fire to the original, tweaking and refining the track into a damager that pushes everything to 11 and hits home with every play. Hatzler, the Hamburg based German DJ/producer chooses a different direction - emphasizing more of the space in the original. Rinsing the tension to the next level, look out for the epic middle section break down. The whole package is primed to destroy clubs far and wide - techno at its most effective. Shaded’s Summer Skin remix also delivers a tightly wound interpretation, with a bubbling bass line and nervous, excited groove providing the fuel for an extended dancefloor excursion.

Out early November.

MadTech Records returns early November with ‘The Resistence’, a three-tracker coming courtesy of UK act Skapes. 
Alex Calver aka Skapes has been releasing a steady stream of his UK focused house and bass music over the past few years with projects such as Twocker alongside Low Steppa, Calvertron and also under his own name. Now though it’s his Skapes guise taking precedent and his project has seen him release on Mark Knight’s long running Toolroom and also Simma Black amongst many others. This time round though we see Skapes joining the roster of MadTech Records with some fresh new material. 
Stepping up first on the package is ‘Drop The Needle’ a high-octane slice of contemporary house led by vacillating subs and shuffled 909 drums alongside expansive synth swells and an amalgamation of vocal cuts. 
Title track ‘The Resistence’ follows and retains a similar bass fuelled aesthetic with rumbling low end, soft synth shots and 4/4 rhythms running with delayed bass hits and low-pitched vocal lines. ‘Bring It Back’ then rounds out the package, laying the focus on percussion this time via snare rolls, spiralling delayed vocal lines and Skapes’ signature snaking sub bass hook.

Stephan Hinz may be making his debut on Nicole Moudaber’s imprint but he’s by no means a debutant in the game. With a body of work dating back to the late 2000s featuring labels such as Watergate, Intec, Second State, Drumcode and more, it was only a matter of time before his dancefloor-tailored, mix-optimised dynamics found themselves on MOOD.

Armed with a restrained sense of funk and space, Hinz’s strong groove craft is established across three very distinct arrangements. We ignite with ‘Outreach’, a track that builds drama with relentless drums before being stripped right back for a humanised loop to flicker and falter through the rising drama. Heightened by every
strike of the succinct two-note riff, it’s guaranteed to leave the floor putty in your hands before the main breakdown.

We stride forward into the techno unknown with ‘Phantom Move’ where an ominous analogue texture takes the lead with the persistence of a foundation electro cut. Raising in velocity and sheer breadth, it teases with a bigger riff potential on every fill. Powered by a thunderdome drum set, peppered with dubby overlays, Hinz is on a real trip… And everyone is invited.

Finally we hit ‘Resonant States’. Here we find Stephan somewhere deep in warehouse mode with a dynamic that’s fat enough to justify clinical classification and a loop-driven groove that’s persistent enough to warrant an injunction. Infectious to the core and coded with the same ingredients from the sonic spice rack shared by
Berlin and Detroit, it’s a climactic closure to a pivotal chapter from Hinz. With sounds as strong as these we suspect MOOD will happily welcome him again in the near future…
