Tenzella provides three heaters for his debut release on Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave imprint. The UK producer kicks things off with lead track ‘Direction’, a Detroit inspired roller with intoxicating synths pads and loopy vocal.  Next up ’Dazed’, keeping things interesting with it’s clashing 909 claps and heavy rolling groove. The EP closes with ‘Blizzard’, a slice of peak time techno, driven by module bleeps.

2017’s first Drumcode release comes in the form of chart topping regular Julian Jeweil, who’ll be putting out his first solo effort on the label. Jeweil’s ‘Rolling EP’ showcases his skill as a producer and kicks off with the emphatic title track ‘Rolling’. The perfect soundtrack for the early hours in the club, this sweaty affair proves just why he’s at the top of the game right now. ‘Venice’ and ‘Blue’ illustrate his signature sound to a tee, with the EP’s final track ‘Traffic’ an acid-tinged behemoth, guaranteed to light up any set.

Continually pushing the boundaries of Techno, Soma label heads, Slam, deliver yet another huge release in the form of The Age Of Intolerance EP. With the their Soma25 project in full flow the duo are not content to sit still and are constantly evolving their sound and continuing to help shape the sound of techno in 2017. 

A monster opener in the shape of My Machine 909 opens this latest EP, a staple in recent sets from the pair as a proper, to the floor 909 workout hammers home. Venit sees Slam approach things form a more hypnotic and looped out angle as mesmerising tones lead the way, slated across concussive drums. Caveat springs into action from the get go, powered by thumping low end and electric synth hook, this sees Slam continuing on a heavier, more dance floor orientated theme. The duo once again display their prowess on the production front as title track, Age Of Intolerance, a broken beat, almost contemplative track closes out the EP.

Markantonio’s label AnalyticTrail welcomes an imprint debut from BEC who after making a name for herself on Pan-Pot’s Second State has also releases on Carl Cox’s Intec amongst others of a high calibre.

BEC is one of techno’s leading ladies quickly rising through the ranks of the genre, and with this EP she becomes a part of AnalyticTrail’s roster of artists which already includes the likes of Joseph Capriati, Flug, Matt Sassari and Luigi Madonna.

Originally from the UK but currently based in Berlin, she is also a popular DJ still relatively early in her career and has already played in many parts of the world as far flung as Australia.

Each of the four tracks brings something different to the EP with the title cut having morphing acid and a captivating vocal sample that gives it its title. Still dark and pounding “Eclipse” is a trippy take on a similar set of sounds with the addition of a grinding bassline, and “One Chance” closes things with its melodic synth stabs layered with industrial percussion.
