Lewis Fautzi, Nuklear Default | Turn
[Soma375d]

1.	Turn
2.	Anti-Cake
3.	Sinister
4.	Point

Soma welcome another name to its ever-growing roster in the form of Portuguese producer Lewis Fautzi who teams up with his own alias, Nuklear Default, to bring home 4 dark techno stompers. A main stay on the Portuguese techno scene, Lewis has been producing for some time now and his own brand of pulsing rhythms has earned him many fans throughout the techno community.

Title track ‘Turn’ launches this ep skywards with a ripping bass line that will tear speakers apart. Unrelenting drums whisk through you with peak time intensity as this powerful opener sears with non-stop energy.

Things take a deeper turn with ‘Anti-Cake’ as a slightly more subdued beat slowly filters in with hypnotic drums patterns and synths swirling calmly before bursting the track wide open. Only a short break in the track allows the listener a little respite as the deep sub bass bounces back in and the track continues to move at quite a pace.

‘Sinister’ is exactly what the name suggests. A dark, pulsing low end creeps around the base of this track while more rattling percussion keeps the momentum going. This is the perfect DJ tool that keeps its energy throughout.
  
‘Point’ closes the EP with an old school sound. Delayed synths filter in an out atop a rolling bass line and perfectly programmed drums. The synth hook tweeks over into the break giving way to an effective dance floor track.

This is a fantastic Soma debut from a young producer who surely has a bright future ahead of him

Soma welcome the debut album from the ever-growing roster of youthful talent as Lewis Fautzi drops The Gare Album, named in homage to The Gare Club, Porto, where Lewis made his discovery of Techno. A bold 4 track single debut gave rise to the album process midway through 2013 and under the careful supervision of Soma, Lewis has provided a definitive peak in his sound cultivated on the back of years of studio work. A collection of deep, dark and twisted techno awaits heralding a coming of age for the Portuguese native.

A droning, industrial vibe is immediate from the outset as Signal crackles into existence giving way to the cavernous UBV-76 with its concrete swathes of noise. High intensity pings form the depths give a sense of what is to come. Intriguing, broken beats deepen proceeding as Lewis takes things to The Other Side of Reality. A momentarily respite before he begins to open things up. Blocker takes the tempo up a notch with a thumping kick and looped out chaotic synths that slowly build the tension. This brooding atmosphere is carried on into the tweeked out and mesmerizing Sick, the punishing, bleeped workout of Range and the relentless, discord of Loudness. By this point Lewis has really worked up into a frenzy. Tight percussive workouts keep this album firing on all cylinders. A short interlude is offered as Opaque drifts quickly through the chaos of this straight to the floor album. Through the darkness, a glimmer of Hope shines through, albeit a cold and fleeting techno version as Lewis leaves you bare and bleeding. Yet more dance floor action as the elasticated synths of Binary (recently remixed by Spanish techno don Oscar Mulero) tear through the backbone of the album. By far Lewis’ most destructive track. The static buzz of Psychiatric is a welcome come down from the headiness of the previous track allowing Lewis to lead us through the black hole, ending on the Other Planet. It’s swirling, vortex like pads sliced open with subtle percussive, other worldly bleeps. A fitting end to this hyperactive techno journey.

A definite maturity in production shines through on this fantastic LP from Fautzi as he creates a cold and calculating output, clearly focused on the future. The Gare Album has allowed Fautzi to express himself fully through electronic music, a task that he has taken to whole-heartedly.

With the opening track providing an atmospheric techno masterpiece, dubspeeka’s production ability shines through with a staccato synth melody providing a unique listening experience. Staying true to the melodic techno sound that has propelled dubspeeka to the forefront of the global underground music stage, K354 and K375 showcases his ability to conjure varying sounds with chilling vocal samples and distorted percussion sounding out through each production respectively. With dubspeeka’s prominence within the techno world flourishing faster than any other artist within the field, ‘Unfriended’ makes yet another decisive point in this eclectic artists career.

Cleric x Dax J - The Triangle

Counter Pulse is proud to present the 'The Dish' EP which is the first collaboration of two of Australia's most passionate techno talents, Advanced Human & Trinity. 

The duo have delivered two hard-edged dance-floor cuts for this release. First track 'The Dish' is a hypnotic banger with a raw warehouse energy anchored by no-nonsense 4/4 drums. The 2nd track 'Splinter' locks you into a groove with minimal industrial textures and dark dub-focused stabs. 

This EP also includes impressive remixes by scene stalwarts Headless Horseman and Mary Velo. 

Headless Horseman contributed an explosive remix of 'The Dish' which takes us down a sinister wormhole with the dance floor in mind. Headless Horseman is known for making raw and abrasive dark techno and is one of the most talked-about techno artists of recent years. Having predominately released on his own label, we are very fortunate to have this very rare remix from him on the EP. 

The Toronto-born, Berlin-based artist Mary Velo is no stranger to the Elektrax family making her 12'-debut on Gynoid Audio with her 'Master Mind' EP. She has also released music on esteemed labels such as Semantica and Diffuse Reality and also performs in highly respected clubs such as Berghain and Tresor. Mary's stripped back version of 'Splinter' takes the track in a deeper direction, a slow burner laced with flowing atmospherics and melodic overtones.

@yan_cook - Toxin EP (Soma527d)

1. Toxin
2. ZZZ
3. Noisy Neighbour

In form Ukrainian producer Yan Cook returns to the Soma ranks, following up his debut release on the label earlier this year by delivering 3 unique and hard hitting tracks soaked with his usual flair and singular aesthetic in the Toxin EP, 

Title track Toxin displays Yan as his most powerful. Thunderous and aggressive, Toxin is relentless Techno of the highest order. Yan keep the momentum flowing with Noisy Neighbour but adds depth with pulsating synth tones running the backbone of the track, glue together by tight percussive elements. Closing out the EP with ZZZ, a more dark and cinematic approach is taken with Yan really working the synth elements and sound design, creating high octane sounds combined with punishing drum workouts.
