Futurism, galaxies and space travel. Small Solar System Body ticks all the usual techno boxes. But Dutch techno producer https://soundcloud.com/david-hulsken goes a few steps further on his album The God Particle, released on the Dutch label SoHaSo. "Space has always inspired me," he says. "It is an infinite void filled with possibilities, questions and wonders."

On his second long player (the follow-up to 2023's Fragments of Lost Galaxies), the Dutchman indulges his fascination with the so-called Higgs particle. This elementary piece, also known as The God Particle, helps explain how other particles get their mass. After all, we would not exist without mass. "I find that deeply fascinating", says Hulsken. "The discovery has the potential to completely rewrite our understanding of existence."

In the eight hypnotic techno tracks on The God Particle, Small Solar System Body explores this duality. "The limitless potential of science and technology, but also the risks that come with it. Listeners should not worry about getting caught up in a scientific paper while consuming the album. First and foremost, The God Particle is a musical firework: straight-up techno with massive kicks, fascinating loops and flowing melodies, made for serious sound systems. 

Thanks to the heavy dose of Detroit DNA that Hulsken injects into his energetic productions, tracks like Collider Physics, Particle Pulse and The Higgs Mechanism alternately recall a young Jeff Mills, Damon Wild and Robert Hood. Yes, it's that good. But if you dig a little deeper into the subject matter (and the titles), you can also hear the tension and uncertainties that the discovery of the Higgs particle brings. "What might happen if we managed to harness the power of the God particle in our everyday lives?" wonders Hulsken. "How far can we go before everything goes wrong?

If you are into psychedelic and adventurous electronica, you'll love So Oishi's second EP for the Dutch record label SoHaSo. Herbology is a five-part trip where acoustic and electronic elements merge in slow motion. On his last record, The Lithospere EP, Japanese producer So Oishi showed off his skills in a variety of styles. But this time, Oishi keeps things slow and dreamy for most of the ride. 

The opening track, The Opposite Shore, has a Heart of Darkness-kinda vibe, with strange noises emerging from the river banks somewhere deep in the jungle. On Canopy Rites, we've seem to have reached an African village, judging by the tribal rhythms coming from the shacks ashore. 

Next up is Artemis, the only proper club track on this otherwise intimate EP. With its kick drums and howling bass, it reminds us of early Underworld productions. It’s a surprising center piece on Herbology. With Sinking and Herbology we're back in chill out territories, where acoustic instruments like tablas and flutes float harmonically with electronic soundscapes. 

Japanese producer https://soundcloud.com/sooishi has carved out his little safe space on planet SoHaSo and we rather like it there. We hope you do too.
