HARDER... DARKER... STRONGER... was the tag-line and “Disconnect/Reconnect”, the third studio album from The Japanese Popstars, garnered plenty of critical praise and won the hearts and minds of many forward-thinking music fans throughout 2013, proving to be a big success for John Digweed’s Bedrock label. So fittingly, it falls to Gary Curran and Gareth Donoghue to kick-off the 2014 release schedule with a timely revisit to three of the album’s boldest tracks, with superb heavy-duty remixes from London based Sharooz and Barcelona’s Coyu.

The mighty and melodic “Vision” and insanely noisy “Heavy Hitter” battle it out to see who can become Techno champion of the world, a duel that can only result in them both sharing the podium, being so distinctly different in attitude and being unforgettably memorable. It was the original version of “Matter Of Time” (featuring Green Velvet on vocals) that took the 2012 IMS by storm, catching the ears of Laurent Garnier, Francois K, Carl Cox and John Digweed, who promptly signed TJP to Bedrock. Now, for 2014, it reappears with a suitably massive Coyu Remix. With his Suara label currently one of the most prominent imprints in the world of Techno, Coyu’s pedigree is of the highest order and he stands as one of the most charted artists in Resident Advisor's history. Sharooz (owner of La Bombe), whose recent tracks on GND Records have been flying high, is no slouch either! His decidedly twisted remix of “Heavy Hitter” is impressive in the extreme and will no doubt be causing chaos everywhere it lands.

There can be no doubt, that this next salvo from The Japanese Popstars is destined to be heard in the dirtiest of dark rooms and at the biggest nocturnal festival shows worldwide, throughout 2014 and beyond. These boys are on fire and have their gaze fixed firmly on the future.

When you're talking about techno, few names have been innovating and evolving as much as Robert Hood. When he's not running things over at M-Plant, he can be found touring the festival circuit with his live show and releasing tonnes of fresh new material.

Today we concentrate on his more melodic alias and under the name Floorplan, Hood has released a stunning album showcasing a slightly different yet equally strong sound.

A new EP is set to drop featuring two re-edits of tracks that appeared on his Floorplan album 'Paradise'. 'Phobia' and 'Never Grow Old' have been given a special Re-Plant and we have the premiere of the latter.

Pirupa
Can U Hear Me EP

1. Wise
2. Can U Hear Me
3. Sunrain

Released on 10th November

Two years on from his last release for the label highly rated Italian producer Pirupa is back tearing it up at Saved Towers once again. His three-track EP dives straight into dark, underground tech-house that bristles with the kind of intense atmosphere that has made his tunes such bona fide floor destroyers over the last few years.

“Wise” is built around a sense of urgency and momentum, garnered through relentlessly stabbing basslines, elongated pads, alarm-like melodies and weighty drums. Tension builds throughout the track, tittering on the edge but never spilling over into chaos, preferring instead to revel in the murky, paranoid swirls of uncertainty.

“Can You Hear Me” is once again full of compulsion and drive, but this time comes with a fresh injection of swing. Its deep bassline sways wildly, throwing the groove into an intoxicating whirlwind as chopped-up synths swoon across the top to add the addictive hook that keeps the track ploughing forward so powerfully. “Sunrain” is all about the intricate, chiming melodies that Pirupa masterfully manages to interplay not just with each other, but also with the cylindrical beats that tumble away in the bottom end. All three tracks are fueling the fires of a distinctive producer who consistently churns out music with bags of personality.
