It is Frenchman Jusaï who takes the reins of the all conquering techno label that is !Organism for its next release. He serves up three searing cuts and a remix from HOBI completes the powerful package.   

Jusaï has had a blistering career since 2008, and in that time has warmed up for DJ Oizo, has worked as co-manager of Among Records, has remixed the likes of Tom Hades and is also a regular at festivals like Garorock. His techno style is carefully cadenced and truly rousing and these new cuts find him in fine form. 

Up first is ‘Acid Perc,’ a slamming track with fizzing synths zipping about between hard claps and thumping kicks. It is a macho effort to make you march and really jumps out of the speakers. The excellent remix comes from the hard to define Italian HOBI. He has released music on Off White Records, Planet Rhythm and many others and tours all over Europe with his introspective take on techno. His vital version is warm and subterranean, wth circling synths trapping you in the groove and acid lines freaking you out. 

Then it’s back to Jusaï for the standout ‘Hawk’, another high impact, high pressure techno track with forceful drums and increasingly pressured percussion. It’s punchy and powerful and is exactly how techno should sound. Last but not least is the more melodic ‘Shadow’ which has ravey stabs bring a celestial feel to the rolling rubber drums below. 

Four more fearsome cuts from this label confirm it is right at the top of the techno tree.

Envoy | Dark Manoeuvres Soma25 Remixes  - [SOMA474D]

4.	Dark Manoeuvres (@Tensal Remix)

Soma proudly present the first in an exciting series of releases to celebrate 25 years at the top of electronic music as we turn to some of our favourite modern artists to reinvent some of the best from the back catalogue and up first is Envoy’s timeless classic, Dark Manoeuvres. Originally released as part of the “Coalition EP’ in 1996 (which also featured the classic Seawall), Hope Grant’s instantly recognisable hit is still found in nearly every Techno DJs record box and has continually served as a beacon of Soma since it’s release Four new versions are served up here as Dax J, Norman Nodge, Obscure Shape & SHDW plus Tensal all deliver fine interpretations of this Soma classic.

Dax’s furious style is the opener as he uses the original chords as they were intended but all the time firing his concussive drum patterns directly to the dance floor. Ostgut Ton’s Norman Nodge turns in a delectable dub version in only the way he can by keeping Envoy’s original muted and delivering a subtle, introverted version. The duo of Obscure Shape & SHDW are next up and delivery one epic take on Dark Manoeuvres. The pair build the tension early, teasing the strings then unleashing an onslaught, adding their own beautifully led, string section before hammering home. PoleGroup’s Tensal closes out our first Soma 25 releases, twisting and cutting the hook to suits his means as thunderous beats work away behind this solid tool.

With much more on the horizon, Soma has their gaze fixed firmly on the future of Techno
