Dark Berghain Techno

Giuseppe scaccia joins non series with a stunning, eclectic 6 tracker ep.

D-Leria - Vibrazione [non049]

TB 2014

If STRGTHS offered a taste of the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH’s sense of humour and willingness to actively resist order, Linear S Decoded see them in full control. 

The complex, onomatopoeic track titles are gone and replaced with more recognisable words and expressions, as though the pair - having strayed dangerously close to parody have decided to reign it in, declaring we make the rules round here. 

And they do. 

Whilst many of the textures on the album can be cross checked against celebrated European Techno of yore, it’s the unapologetic nature of SHXCXCHCXSH’s composition that marks it out against the rest. And it’s a development - where STRNGTHS might have opted for simply another cavernous kick drum, there are hooks here (see This Hmming Raverie), and bonafide musical pieces (see Monolithic Conclusion). Where others might feel ashamed that such uplifting and tonally pleasing sounds are coming out of their machines - SHXCXCHCXSH revel in this fact, warping and bending these sounds unashamedly to craft a truly singular Techno album. 

“Linear S Decoded never feels like punishment. They've replaced UK techno's sadistic carnival with a mossy softness, a reminder that while factories and cities decay and corrupt, so do cabins and farmhouses.” Andrew Gaerig, Pitchfork, 2014

Elocution

Premiere of 'Somnambulist' by Slam, taken from Activate EP forthcoming on Soma Records.

Slam return to Soma with the slick, minimalistic and hypnotic Activate EP. With a focus firmly rooted on the dance floor, the duo explore deeper and more hypnotic regions on this new EP, with a varied selection of raw, driving yet stripped techno.

Title track Activate opens with deep, driving, pulsing rhythms and straight forward percussive elements, lead with hypnotic vocal loops. Quantum delves deeper as dubbed out reverb & delay saturates the tripped out acid bass sounds that flicker into existence as stripped yet effective drums create the intensity. Somnambulist continues the stripped back nature of the EP as subtle changes in FX give the track live whilst the swelling percussive elements drive the rhythms. Trsmit offers up a tougher yet still minimalistic approach to close out the EP. An intense and tension building atmosphere is created throughout the track as warping synths swell & filter against a backdrop of sparse yet effective percussion.

Rodent - Not For Me [CTDGTL013]

Ricky Cross unveils a collection of four sonic voyages, each a passage through endless melodic loops and hypnotic rhythms. This EP isn’t just a sequence of tracks—it’s an intricate system of motion, where pulsating basslines and evolving harmonics stretch time itself.

Each piece sculpts its own atmosphere, layering shifting textures and cascading synth work that seem to extend beyond the confines of structure. Subtle yet relentless, the percussion locks in a groove that feels both weightless and inescapable, guiding the listener into a controlled drift.

Closing the journey, STNDRD delivers a futuristic reinterpretation, reshaping one of these labyrinthine compositions into something sharper, more angular. Rhythmic mutations and spectral details dissolve expectations, creating a contrast that feels both alien and inevitable, it’s a refraction of sound through a different dimension.

This is music not meant to be followed but absorbed, where the mind loops in sync with the machines, lost in an infinite cadence.
