Italian Techno heavyweights Markantonio and Rino Cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is Junction Hands.

'Revolution is Back' is the first full release under the Junction Hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent 'The Napoli Connection EP' on Adam Beyer's Drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet.

The title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. Sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but it's the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive.

The equally hypnotic and driving 'Thing For Hands' follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. Synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of Noise while the groove relentlessly works it's magic.

With Junction Hands there's yet another must-check name coming out of the Neapolitan scene.

Chris Liebing remakes Emmanuel Top’s iconic ‘Turkish Bazar’. A new version of the 1994 acid rave hit lands on Liebing’s CLR on 20th December 2024.

Chris Liebing’s long-awaited remake of Emmanuel Top’s 1994 classic ‘Turkish Bazar’ arrives on CLR this December. Initially released via the Le Petit Prince label, ‘Turkish Bazar’ is an evergreen club hit, now painstakingly rebuilt by Techno powerhouse Chris Liebing, with each musical element reforged to create an essential new version.

Liebing’s version of ‘Turkish Bazar’ features the instantly recognisable spoken word vocal of the original, while he ups its unmistakable 303 with an additional dose of acid. Raw, unfiltered licks are in tandem with pounding drums as airy pads and dainty sequences aim to soothe dancefloor madness. Extensively road-tested by Chris Liebing and blessed by Emmanuel Top for release via CLR, this is a mammoth revisit that lives up to the original’s timeless appeal.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as Risa Taniguchi, The Southern, and Klint.

Uto Karem is back on Agile Recordings with Lost 303, a track that builds a compelling tension, pulling you into a place where time seems to stand still. With its driven 303 bassline, sharp percussions, and evolving synth lines. What sets Lost 303 apart is its constant evolution - never losing its grip, while keeping the energy unpredictable. The production is tight, giving every element room to breathe, while the crisp snares and rolling hi-hats push the track forward with precision. Lost 303 strikes the perfect balance between technos raw, primal energy and a fresh, forward-thinking sound. Its a track that resonates with both die-hard fans and newcomers, showing how techno can stay true to its underground roots while pushing the genre into exciting new sonic territory. But its not just a great track for the dancefloor - it also includes a special intro tool, making it the perfect way to set the tone and kick off any set with style.

Up next on Kuukou is a slick and highly effective 2-tracker from Montenegro born maestro Ilona Maras. Known for her impassioned approach to production and DJing, Maras has amassed a gleaming back catalogue with highlights including records on Get Physical, Selador and Filth on Acid. Here she neatly tessellates with Kuukou's sound, presenting 2 disparate but equally effective cuts.

'The Poem' opens up with a distinctly dubby tone that advances like a stealthy submarine. A deep, filtered pad creates an oceanic bed while bright, burnished hats and colourful stabs propel an ever-ascending tension. A bold and expressive breakdown sets an eruptive mood at the centre of the track; one that gives way to cascading tones that tumble to entrancing effect. 

'Control D' balances the release with a more sturdy bone structure. The groove strides with bite and urgency as raw, jagged form barbs under a pulsing bass line and razor sharp claps. The track segues through its chapters with captivating ease as it ramps towards another arresting break that allows trippy snap shots of vocals to flicker before tension pops in a masterclass in dance floor control.

Phutek is back on Intec after last featuring an EP on the label in 2017, and this time he returns with the legendary Frankie Bones.

Frankie Bones was one of the people who pioneered techno in New York back in the late '80s after the genre first started to break out of Detroit.

Along with his many international DJ gigs, Frankie Bones has also released tracks on labels ranging from the iconic TRAX, to his own imprint Breaking Bones Records.

Since his last release on Intec, Phutek has been busy with releases on a wide selection of labels including D.A.V.E. The Drummer's Hydraulix and Spektres Respekt Recordings.

The last time Frankie Bones featured on Intec it was the rerelease of his classic anthem Call It Techno, which was one of the label's biggest selling tracks of the last two years, but this time he is back with two previously unreleased collaborative tracks.

Acid Souls opens the release with a rippling acid-line fused with trippy vocals and a pounding kick drum. Dark and twisted, this track has a timeless style that takes influence from the sinister vibe of '90s techno.

Track two Killer Custard is all about the electric pulse of the killer lead synth that pulsates through the entirety of the track. With stabbing chords adding to the drama, this frantic track is fast and furious with a style that takes no prisoners.
