The fifth instalment on Kinetic Vision is a solo EP by POD in a similar vein to the much lauded SQZR EP by POD and Edward Richards. The release explores the territory between Hypnotic Techno, Jungle and Dubstep.

POD leans into deep, subterranean techno using syncopated rhythms and psychedelia. The EP starts by exploring slower tempos before moving into dubstep and jungle BPMs. The unifying flavour throughout is a dreamy and half-time feel with an emphasis on hardware and the raw, moving dynamic it creates. 

Tracklist: 

Magma, Construct, Trone, Anteloper, Trip2Fantasia, Spacer, Horizon

PREMIERE: POD - Magma [Kinetic Vision]

Zeta Reticula (Uros Umek) is among the wide cream of today's atmospheric breaks and electro producers, carrying on strong with a career that he's kept steady since 2000. Since the mid-2010s, the Slovene star has hopped from label to label, signifying a restlessness that matches the writhing weight of his music. 'The Beryllium' is yet another EP to capture Reticula's preference for unrelent, commanding a unique sense of space and weight that flaunts a true sense of art. Listened to in one way, 'Need To Orbit', sounds like a functional acid jam, but its pitch-perfect use of reverb and EQ renders it gestalt, nearly convincing us that the track was direct-outputted from the aux port of an interplanetary war machine and not a stack of analog synths. On the other hand, the closing remix from Sound Synthesis is nice and cascading - gushing, sheathing sounds abounding - contrasting to Reticula's opting for judderings and impacts.

Fels - Coder V [Virtual Forest]

030/313 &ndash; Berlin/Detroit, the fundamental techno union. Now Carhartt WIP, whose roots can be traced to Detroit, Michigan, join forces with Tresor for a collaboration that celebrates the enduring spirit of two music metropolises. Referencing the early 90s compilations like "Tresor II &ndash; A Techno Alliance", they present a 12" mini compilation with exclusive material from both cities.  

The compilation opens with "I.D.L.E.", a lost Model 500 track, of essential funk that touches the techno soul of The Motorcity, with trippy melodies and cosmic drilling traversing electrified Mojo freeways. It's followed by another true Detroiter: Ectomorph's "Searching (Live At Globus)", a first extract from their live set at Globus in 2021, which BMG and Erika played on borrowed equipment after Erika's case was lost on a flight. The A-Side stays in Detroit and finishes with "Your Body", an exclusive track by AMX, also known as The AM, one of Detroit's freshest funk techno sensations. She carries on the mentorship mindset by having learned from two of the greatest: D.I.E. and Scan 7. "Your Body" is a classic techno feel swinger, where subtle chords meet drum machine funk in the spirit of early Detroit techno.

DJ Stingray 313 opens the B-Side with a bang. Precisely hacked techno, full of dark funk and that special industrial jack, that the man in the mask has made his own. A total "Dynamic Instability". Magic &amp; furious. The thrill continues with "Metal Goat", by JakoJako, one of Berlin's brightest synth sensations. She provides an introspective grower that slowly evolves into a fast-paced techno grinder, laden with micro shifts and magic twists. The final tune comes from Erik Jabari, a newcomer from the 030 zone, emerging from the Hard Wax peers with haunting modular synth techno&ndash;a feverish minimalistic trip of motorized kicks. DJ Pete performed as spiritual guidance on this one. It's floor proven. An overall cachet of "030313" - the small compilation with a huge techno heart.

Our 9th release features artists from around the world, each bringing their unique vision to the table. Their creativity has been a driving force for us, shaping our musical exploration. This compilation offers a genuine narrative from each artist, and we're excited to showcase their work.

Some of our DJ friends are part of the Port Frankivsk voluntary organisation, dedicating themselves to volunteering from the beginning of the war. We appreciate their commitment and we're standing with all Ukrainians during these tough times. To help out, we've decided to donate all the proceeds from this compilation to Port Frankivsk.

We extend our gratitude to all the artists and supporters who have made this compilation possible. Through this release, we aim to support the Ukrainian people, and we couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you for standing with us.

Glory to Ukraine!
