M_Rec Ltd 20 - Coefficient – Blood Red ep

A1: Subsurface
A2: Tesseract
B1: Blood Red
B2: Point of Departure

Release date: March 2014 (Vinyl)

OVERVIEW:
The world of M_Rec refocuses on unassuming and dedicated dancefloor tracks with this release on the original Ltd. imprint by british producer and sound engineer Coefficient. Steering away from the saturated world of big and harsh techno, Coefficient concentrates on the craft of reviving and re-exploring archetypical mind-altering techno, rooted halfway between the American midwest and the heyday of british rave culture.

The opening 'Subsurface' takes advantage of a groovy refrain to showcase uplifting drum programming and shadowy soundscapes. A great set opener to put the room in the right mindset. Things get a little darker with 'Tesseract'. While the intricate patterns and basslines play the integral part in the track, there are intriguing melodies interplaying to make things sexier and affectively trippy. 
On the flip side, EP title track 'Blood Red' is a more maximal experiment, definitely meant to shake things up. Throughout this joint the synths get bigger and state-inducing, while the bass drum keeps things forward driving. It's a traditional loop-driven track that belongs in the apex of a proper techno set. Closing track 'Point of Departure' rediscovers British leftfield electronica and celebrates the early morning hours of outdoor raves. It's a track dedicated to the last few people standing, rich of melody and delays.

Soma welcome the debut album from the ever-growing roster of youthful talent as Lewis Fautzi drops The Gare Album, named in homage to The Gare Club, Porto, where Lewis made his discovery of Techno. A bold 4 track single debut gave rise to the album process midway through 2013 and under the careful supervision of Soma, Lewis has provided a definitive peak in his sound cultivated on the back of years of studio work. A collection of deep, dark and twisted techno awaits heralding a coming of age for the Portuguese native.

A droning, industrial vibe is immediate from the outset as Signal crackles into existence giving way to the cavernous UBV-76 with its concrete swathes of noise. High intensity pings form the depths give a sense of what is to come. Intriguing, broken beats deepen proceeding as Lewis takes things to The Other Side of Reality. A momentarily respite before he begins to open things up. Blocker takes the tempo up a notch with a thumping kick and looped out chaotic synths that slowly build the tension. This brooding atmosphere is carried on into the tweeked out and mesmerizing Sick, the punishing, bleeped workout of Range and the relentless, discord of Loudness. By this point Lewis has really worked up into a frenzy. Tight percussive workouts keep this album firing on all cylinders. A short interlude is offered as Opaque drifts quickly through the chaos of this straight to the floor album. Through the darkness, a glimmer of Hope shines through, albeit a cold and fleeting techno version as Lewis leaves you bare and bleeding. Yet more dance floor action as the elasticated synths of Binary (recently remixed by Spanish techno don Oscar Mulero) tear through the backbone of the album. By far Lewis’ most destructive track. The static buzz of Psychiatric is a welcome come down from the headiness of the previous track allowing Lewis to lead us through the black hole, ending on the Other Planet. It’s swirling, vortex like pads sliced open with subtle percussive, other worldly bleeps. A fitting end to this hyperactive techno journey.

A definite maturity in production shines through on this fantastic LP from Fautzi as he creates a cold and calculating output, clearly focused on the future. The Gare Album has allowed Fautzi to express himself fully through electronic music, a task that he has taken to whole-heartedly.

Slam open their Soma 2021 account.
Slam kick off 2021 in spectacular style with a brand new, 3 track release, the Final Conflict EP. The duo are without a doubt one of the most prolific productions teams in Techno right now with their discography increasing every year. This latest release moves easily between hard, rave infected Techno to more deep and cosmic elements. 

Title track Final Conflict goes straight for the jugular with the duo leaning on the darker and more driving sound they have become synonymous with on home label, Soma. Pyrrhic brings Slam’s machine funk to the release as a more jacked up beat leads with subtly building synths stabs and atmospheres. Cosmo Disko closes out with the pair stretching their legs, production wise, delivering a fantastically deep, trippy and spacey vibe.
