Following standout appearances on Feel My Bicep, Unknown To The Unknown, and E-MISSIONS, Irish-born DJ/producer Cromby hits Rekids with a four-track EP of crisp techno cuts. Heavily utilising the sound of hardware across the release, ‘Twisted Future EP’ sees Cromby explore the depths of these classic sound palettes over robust techno frameworks. 

‘IXP-42’ brings crunching drums and wiggling synths together for over two minutes, building tension before eventually, the much-awaited bassline comes in thick and fast. ‘Follow The Bass’ brings a dose of the unusual to proceedings, with snaking FM leads modulating throughout a maze of sizzling percussion.

On the flip, Bleep meets Baltimore on ‘Relief’, with meaty acid lines, vocals and clattering drums sparring with each other across the track, while ‘Vortex’ rounds off the release, with bright shimmering stabs peppering the stomping drums and distinct squelch of the 303.

трип are on an outrageous run lately. "I Wanna Go Bang" is the ubiquitous slammer we all know, Bjarki himself one of the tight coterie of hitherto-unheralded acts Nina has helped put on an international stage; gathered up on the label's 2xEP compilations. As well as the youngbloods, some more well-worn faces beloved by the boss have snuck their way onto the comps: and so it proves on TRP005, which sees the second cut from Detroit veteran Kelli Hand in as many releases.

K-HAND's "Sound 6" is, in short, an acid ripper. Resolutely mean and linear, the corrosive 303 pelts forward over a snapping beat with little pause from start to end. It harks back to the height of vintage Djax, another 90s Detroit stalwart; like we say, it rips.

Catch K-HAND's first ever Boiler Room in her native Detroit tonight (15th Nov) here.

For the next release on his inestimable Turbo Recordings imprint, Tiga has recruited Leeds-based artist Viers to create a menacing EP titled 'Hurt Me' that will shake your eardrums to oblivion if not handled with care. Inspired by DIY Fetish Techno parties and the history of jungle, the four-tracker is a Turbo triumph that is not to be missed. 

Ahead of its vinyl release on September 13 (digital on Sept. 27), Viers as handed over the cut 'Gonna Get' - a high-octane roller that revolves around a big vocal jungle sample that gets repurposed for this buff techno track.

Cromby’s career is on a steep upward trajectory; the Irish DJ and producer who calls Berlin home, has played at major clubs and festivals all over the world including esteemed venues like Robert Johnson, The Warehouse Project, fabric
and Boiler Room. Becoming a regular at Panorama Bar, he’s been tasked with handling the infamous closing set on numerous occasions, twice keeping the club open past midday on Monday, a testament to his selector skills and the
depth of his record collection.

Cutting his teeth holding down a six-year residency at the legendary Shine in Belfast, Cromby’s first record came out in 2012 on New York’s The Love Revolution. Following this came two releases on Berlin’s Tenderpark and a relocation to Berlin via London. He enjoyed pivotal years in 2018 and 2019, releasing on three ground-breaking labels; Sulta Selects
Silver Service, Feel My Bicep and Unknown To The Unknown.

Despite the collective challenges faced, Cromby has continued to ascend in recent times. During the summer of 2020 he launched his own imprint Potency, aimed at exploring different realms of house, techno and acid. Combining old
school rhythms with new school flavours, the debut release was led by ‘Shake It’, which despite the lack of dancefloors, became a fan favourite throughout the year. Additionally, he was tapped by Hör to become a resident and continues to
play quarterly sets for the beloved streaming crew from Neuköln’s most famous bathroom. When a nomination came for Breakthrough Artist of the Year in DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards at the end of ‘20, it came as little surprise to
those in the know.

The two years have seen Cromby begin a monthly radio show with Berlin’s community initiative Refuge Worldwide, alongside debuting on one of techno’s longstanding tastemaker labels, Rekids. Another notable highlight has been ‘Qué
Sientes’ featuring vocalist Tee Amara, his maiden release for Erol Alkan’s iconic Phantasy Sound imprint. The EP stands as a crucial step in the Irish artist’s development and was lauded throughout the industry. A critically acclaimed follow up ‘Loving’ landed in late January 2022, picking up plaudits including DJ Mag’s Staff Picks tune of the month and a spot in RA’s best releases in February round-up.

The long-awaited Potency 002 dropped finally in February 2022, presenting a trio of tracks – ‘Obsessed’, ‘Excavator’ and‘Body Rush’, which reinforced his broad all-night appeal: "I wanted an EP that you can reach for in every dancefloor situation and imagined what it would be like in certain moments - the euphoric hands in the air one, the after-hours roller, and the straight up acid cut.”

A debut on Craigie Knowes titled ‘Freaks on Speed’ was another 2022 high point, before the Irish artist resumed a busy touring schedule with highlights including a debut US tour, Robert Johnson, Blitz in Munich, Lux Fragil in Lisbon,
Shelter in Amsterdam, Nation of Gondwana, Australia’s iconic Pitch Music & Arts Festival, plus a trio of standout sessions at Panorama Bar, reinforcing his position as one of the club’s vital go-to artists.

The new year sees a string of Potency EPs lined up for release, alongside a return to Rekids with a thrilling three-tracker ‘Skyboy’.
