12" Vinyl: mathisruffing.bandcamp.com/album/skybox

Mathis Ruffing’s Transatlantic debut cuts to the chase. This is getaway music, music designed to vaporise your long-dormant adrenal glands. ‘Skybox’ is made up of tracks that surge like quicksilver through veins, pulsing, flexing, relentlessly disciplined in execution. These tunes are crystalline and shimmering, eight sleek and streamlined club constructs rendered with what feels like the precision-engineering of some advanced alien DAW.

Opener ‘Ultranova’ hits like a cyborgian headbutt and refuses to let up. It’s followed by the one-two punch of the title track and ‘Hitherto’, which install cooling, gaseous pads and synths within breakneck drum&bassian exoskeletons. ‘Crater Edge’ and closer ‘Raytraced’ offer cryochamberesque respite from the cold-blooded fury enclosed within this release — well-earned breathing room in an album that takes hold with crisp and calculated force. Pure focus.

As we fall back into club season, Typeless looks to the Parisian producer, Trois-Quarts Taxi System, for its tenth release.

This 4-track EP is lined with hypnotic melodies, complex rhythms, and organic textures that converge to create a well thought out and layered piece of production. Trois-Quarts Taxi System explores deep and dark tones throughout whilst simultaneously keeping it bouncy and fast moving, giving it a strong place in the club.

‘Does Tina Still Live in Berlin?’ and the full SB001 release is available from: @second-born-recs Bandcamp: https://secondborn.bandcamp.com/album/prefrontal-asymmetry

Prefrontal Asymmetry liberates itself within the overstimulation which this generational change demands of us. By seldomly evoking traditional motifs and clichés of the dance-floor amongst fierce algorithmic noise and repurposed snippets of short-form digital media, Prefrontal Asymmetry provides an alternative and optimistic thesis on the perceived annihilatory Zeitgeist of Gen-Z Clubland:

“Nothing can be more freeing than resigning oneself to onslaught of stimulus, and rejecting the sincerity of such content in favour of heartfelt experimentation, cherished relationships and the joy of experience.”

TL;DR - This record is sort of TikTok Techno.

Porter Brook - Does Tina Still Live in Berlin? [SB001]

Tomás Urquieta, born in Chile and based in New York City, creates a unique fusion of bass music and techno. His sonic style is consistently powerful and structurally unconventional, yet immensely danceable. ‘Ai Ferri Corti’, his third album, is packed with high-energy club tracks that showcase his innovative take on techno, seamlessly incorporating Latin American rhythmic influences. The record, set for release on Herrensauna on March 7, 2025, unfolds a narrative on the fragility of logic, the unveiling of hidden truths, and the collapse of established structures. Throughout ‘Ai Ferri Corti’, Urquieta explores chaos and the mind, with the tension between order and disorder, between reason and abstraction, forming the central axis. Each of the track titles, infused with philosophical undertones and technological references, reinforces this conceptual complexity and evokes reflections on the nature of being, perception, chaos, and logic—shaping a seven-track experience that challenges conventional thinking.
