Gregor Tresher thunders back with his second solo EP for Drumcode. Gregor has been busy throughout 2012 with lots of new material and remixes being released on Cocoon, Ovum and Music Man and has released lots of new music and remixes on his very own imprint, Break New Soil. Break New Soil was launched in 2009 and has gone from strength-to-strength. Highly regarded within the tech- house world, the imprint has releases from the likes of Bart Skils, Karotte, Dosem and Gregor himself. DJ’ing across the world every week to packed out clubs and rocking the party deep into the early hours of any morning, he knows how to work a crowd.

Gregor has delivered four outstanding tracks for Drumcode that are creative, whilst still functional. Relevance uses a filtered, bubbling synth line and sparse percussion effectively to build a groove that will rip through any club. System X uses a detuned synth stab and an unusual bass line harmoniously to construct a track that sounds like its from out of space. Secura is a straight-laced techno groover that uses some distinctively unfamiliar sounds. The track is gelled together with a repetitive hum sound that adds to the groove. The fourth track on the EP; Call To Arms, uses a melodic rhythmic sequence and reverberated drums to eloquently smash any dancefloor.

Lucky Ones

Knights Of The Jaguar - Dj Rolando (Jeff Mills Remix)

<p>Techno at it&#8217;s finest ! This is exactly the case with this release on Respekt Recordings by the label bosses Spektre! The original mix of &#8216;Erase The Tapes&#8217; builds with the trademark by Spektre while smooth dark drums and atmospheric elements are all over in this techno journey. The remix by Jon Rundell uses a hard drum loop providing by a smooth bassline. At the end Luigi Madonna takes control and that works just right in keeping the techno groove going. Not too much to say for this monster release by Spektre.</p>
