Amst 2.0

Having had plenty of time to digest the first trio of “Textures” from Sawlin & Subjected, it’s time to unleash the next three works from EDLX’s newest recruits. 

‘Foreign Awake Pt.1’ set the tone with a series of strung out, spacy vistas. Three chillingly subtle and pensive pieces, far removed from the pair’s usual brew of anxious, distortion-heavy techno productions that can be found on their co-run Vault Series outlet. Using EDLX to step away from the dancefloor a little, ‘Foreign Awake Pt.1’ saw the Berlin-based duo tap into headier climes using loops and tingling atmospheres with the faintest of heartbeats. ‘Foreign Awake Pt.2’ picks up the pace, however, with three more “Textures” halfway between ‘Pt.1’’s ethereal wanderings and the pair’s deeper Vault Series offerings. 

On the A-side “Texture 1.1” and “Texture 1.2” wraps typical Vault tropes with acid-washed melodies and grainy distorted pads, turning two rusty, hydraulic workouts into weirder and warmer dancefloor reliefs. “Texture 5” then, on the B-side, concludes with more yin and yang experiments, pooling ‘Foreign Awake’’s gentler, dream-like sentiments together with punishing bass, splices of hats and mechanical modulations that keep the reverie in check; a must for Sawlin & Subjected fans, and anyone who likes their techno a little on the stranger side.

Plutonium EP(MBRLTD012)

Marco Bailey - Plutonium (Keith Carnal Remix) [MBR Limited]

Acclaimed Amsterdam techno DJ / producer Joran van Pol is stepping out with his own brand new label. He marks the first release with a brilliant brace of his own cuts plus an on point remix from Italian producer Luigi Madonna.

The label will follow this same MO—originals from van Pol and a guest remix— with each new release and comes after van Pol has already made a name for himself with searing techno productions on labels like Minus, Rejected, Sci+Tec and Ideal Audio. The Dutch DJ/producer first burst through with big support from tastemakers like Riche Hawtin and Dubfire and tracks like ‘Sonic Highway’ have seen him work with legend & fellow countryman Joris Voorn. Now having played all over the world from ENTER at Space Ibiza to TimeWarp festival, he is well armed with plenty of ideas and some surefire skills that will help him shake up the global techno scene. This excellent EP kicks off with ‘Verge,’ a rib rattling techno track designed to fill full warehouses with sound. It is an industrial tinged effort with plenty of drama and tension in its creeping synths and rolling drums, and exactly typifies van Pol’s singular aesthetic.

In the hands of Luigi Madonna, a Drumcode and Plus 8 veteran who rolls out big hitters on a regular basis, the track is imbued with some emotive vocal cries and bulkier drums. Big hi hat ringlets add scale and the whole thing is truly fiery and attention grabbing.

Rounding out a fantastic EP is ‘Reduce’, a more stripped back and creepy techno tune full of dark and absorbing atmosphere, unsettling synth undercurrents and brooding, body shaking drums. It really is one that will grab the attention of the ‘floor.

This is a strong start to what is sure to be an essential new label.

Hipster Panic (Original Mix) [MINUS]

Taking on a true trance classic and a personal favorite of his, Len Faki takes us back to the golden era of big melodies and early raves, sharing two very distinct interpretations of Firedance by Odyssee of Noises, the prolific production outfit helmed by Ralf Hildenbeutel.

Originally released in 1994 on legendary label Eye Q, this track marked a special period for Faki, when he was fully immersing himself into the scene, and accompanied him through his most formative times as a dancer and a becoming DJ.
Brimming with the iconic elation of those nights, side A keeps with the emotive theme of the original‘s Sunrise version, tweeking only slightly to cater for the needs of these days‘ dancers. Re-shaping the classic to match modern productions for it to be mixed with current bangers, Faki packs the tune‘s anthemic appeal into a propulsive ride down memory lane...

As with all releases of LF RMX, the proceeds of this record will be forwarded to the Berlin organization Straßenkinder e.V. to be used in actions against child poverty.

Ellen Allien launches her UFO Inc. label with an EP that features the epic "UFO" after it has been on heavy rotation in her recent DJ sets. From "UFO" to the powerful belter "Körpermaschine" on the flipside, the UFO EP perfectly captures the energetic hardware sound of Allien’s new imprint, which will be dedicated to a rough and raw approach to contemporary techno.
