refused. welcomes back Florian Frings, who has blown us away with this experimental tale of techno. 'Resistance' provides four alluring and fierce moving tracks each with their own signature energy and exploration of different synth rhythms. Heading this exceptional EP is a track with a very fiery presence. 'Culture' starts in with a low rumbling bassline, layers of spiraling synths, and a sizzling topline that builds up anticipation. As we move into the body of Culture, progressive pads grow and move the track forward. 'Holo' starts in with a pronounced kick while eclectic highs, percussion, and dreamy progressive synth pads begin to build. 'Okay' is a very momentous and minimal techno piece. It plays with some acidy synth progressions welded with industrial breaks. Lastly, 'Revolution' is a minimal influenced piece with a winding maze of peculiar obstacles that all lead you to a new dimension.

After a successful year full of releases by artists of the highest quality around the globe, 2017 sets the stage for all new talent. Japanese brothers, Isao and Takashi Sudo have carefully fermented their raw, dirty, driving, underground techno sound over the last two decades. The duo has transcended between borders of a musical identity that defines SUDO from the euphoric sounds of their live trance project ‘Indigo,' to the darker, tougher, and industrial spirit of their massive debut on Dubfire's SCI+TEC imprint. Further defining their craft, the Sudo brothers present ’Simplicity,' a perfectly designed EP filled with expansive atmospheres, sweeping rises, and straight forward techno grooves that expose SUDO’s new direction, which promises to continue breaking new ground.

It would take none other than label boss Justin James to be the featured artist contributing to refused.’s landmark 100th release. It also should come as no surprise that this offering would be a project of epic proportions. The result is Justin’s second full-length album, Reset. This double-digit collection of tunes showcases James’ passion for the underground world of techno; ranging from stripped down, minimal and groovy tracks to full throttle, room rattling, techno compositions. As diverse as Reset is, there is no doubt the high-quality music production and signature style that has become synonymous with Justin James shines though, as usual. See you on the other side of the Reset. Enjoy!!!
