Techno is a form of electronic dance music that emerged in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States during the mid-to-late 1980s. The first recorded use of the word techno in reference to a specific genre of music was in 1988. Many styles of techno now exist, but Detroit techno is seen as the foundation upon which a number of subgenres have been built. Stylistically, techno is generally repetitive instrumental music, oftentimes produced for use in a continuous DJ set. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note. The tempo tends to vary between approximately 120 to 150 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the style of techno. As the original sound evolved in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it also diverged to such an extent that a wide spectrum of stylistically distinct music was being referred to as techno. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, the original techno sound had garnered a large underground following in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The growth of techno's popularity in Europe between 1988 and 1992 was largely due to the emergence of the rave scene and a thriving club culture. By 1994 there were a number of techno producers in the UK and Europe building on the Detroit sound, but a growing range of underground dance music styles were by then vying for attention. Some drew upon the Detroit techno aesthetic, while others fused components of preceding dance music forms. This led to the appearance (in the UK initially) of inventive new music, some of which bore little, if any, relation to the original techno sound.  Producers from Detroit, frustrated by the lack of opportunity in their home country, looked to Europe for their future livelihood. This first wave of Detroit expatriates was soon joined by a number of up-and-coming artists, the so-called "second wave". Developments in American-produced techno between 1990 and 1992 fueled the expansion and eventual divergence of techno in Europe. Although eclipsed by Germany, Belgium was another focus of second-wave techno in this time period. The Ghent-based label R&S Records embraced harder-edged techno by "teenage prodigies" like Beltram and C.J. Bolland, releasing "tough, metallic tracks... with harsh, discordant synth lines.

Retro Strike (KMS112)

www.heron-music.com


Herons first release with Soma is a single that brings a new and different sound to the label that is both interesting and engrossing. Reborn incorporates motifs and style drawn from various genres with wobbling bass and deconstructed rhythm sections influenced by certain areas of bass music. This convergence of distinctive forms helps the EP to maintain a dynamic structure with layers added sequentially and separate elements given their own focus throughout. Title track Reborn, follows the ingenuity represented throughout the EP combining various different elements. The track opens up with bold, bouncing rhythm matched well with the distinctive repetition of the bassline. Again these elements are carried on a wave of hi-hat and metallic rhythm which gives the track a recognisable edge. Coupled with the sharp synth line the track conveys an industrial feel and moves to slightly darker areas. The interplay between elements maintains a strong dynamic with rhythm parts subsiding to highlight the synths and effects being brought to the fore amongst well balanced interplay. Foolish Solina finishes off the EP with a perfectly old school feel. Deep pads open quickly followed by a bassline reminiscent of Saunderson-era techno. A stomping 909 kick flashes in alongside crisp ride cymbals as electronic fluctuations give this track a unique progression finally unloading a full assault from the 909 as the track moves into overdrive.This is a single that develops a new sonic avenue for Heron and Soma as the artist encompasses a busier and more prominent style.

Swiss producer Honorée returns to Rekids with ‘Marée Haute EP’ this January, featuring two intelligently produced deep cuts with a remix from Perlon’s Margaret Dygas.

Basel-based artist Honorée’s inaugural release ‘Marée Basse EP’ appeared on Rekids earlier this year and demonstrated a musical understanding acquired from extensive DJ experience within Switzerland’s club scene. ‘Marée Haute EP’ is Honorée’s second outing on Rekids and includes a remix from renowned minimal DJ/producer and Panorama Bar regular Margaret Dygas.

‘Dorian’ delivers crisp drum grooves which underpin mesmerising chord progressions, haunting synthesiser motifs and spacey vocals before ‘208’ provides infectious drum rhythms, glitched vocal cuts and hypnotic melodies which sit on top of a rumbling low-end. Margaret Dygas’ take on ‘Dorian’ offers a pulsating bass hook and sharp percussion which lays the foundation for dubbed-out synths and ethereal atmospheres to close the release.
