There's a good bunch of intense, dark and extreme, grinding electro-techno gems on the "Raval Rave Breakers" first compilation. While Boris Divider's 'Collapsed Cluster' recalls of the more clinical approach of labels like Raster-Noton, Eel manages to deliver a fresh mix of styles on 'Sraight Edge', where Old Skool Breakbeat and EBM draw an unforgettable match made in heaven. Last track on the A side comes from Classicworks boss Neuhen, but is Patricia (Opal Tapes, Spectral Sound) who remixes it: in "Supress" we can find all the magic tricks of the NYC based producer: eery atmospheres, gently distorted drums and a warm feeling of cozyness. On the flip, RNXRX delivers "Aktion Intertia", one of the most psychedelic jams he's ever did: an industrial acid track as catchy as it can be. Oakland's "Heroine From The North" sounds a bit like when New Beat became faster and more agressive, being mixed with styles like EBM and trance.

The old church stood high on the hill, an ominous presence presiding over the small town. Not much care had been taken to keep the building in good order, its condition had slowly and steadily deteriorated over the years. Inside, however, the intricate paintings that covered the walls and ceilings still remained intact, dulled in colour but still a sight to behold. But it was rare anybody set foot in here anymore. Many spoke of haunted tales and strange unexplained occurrences; disappearances and people losing their minds. Now suspicion and fear had taken control...

Davis' ODDiscos present their final offering of the year, a compilation bringing together a host of artists who all add their own distinct flavour to the release. Curated by Martinelli, Ferramentas Vol. I is a useful set of tools showcasing a wide variety of sounds and styles, from the percussive works of Kakubo and Martinelli himself to the sonic musings of Letrícia and Zelada. Our selection comes from LA-based producer Dreams who's haunting and atmospheric breaks take you to a higher plane...
