No-nonsense, text-book Chicago House revivalism.’
Sparse beat tracks, 80s synth stabs and 727 latin percussion, expertly done to a crisp.
Ace.

A magnificently malevolent two-hander.
The Ekman is a furiously maxed-out piledriver; the Vereker is more Thing than machine, massive and roiling, scorpion-tailed and owl-eyed. The pulverising besiegement; the gory carnage.
Proper warehouse bangers, with a vengeance.

Massive bounce to the ounce on the A-side, guaranteed to boing a dancefloor into a vibrational mess.
Four honed earhole sluicers, on the flip.

The Basic Channel maestro takes on Konono. So brawling and bad-minded, dense and intense, and musically expert, it amounts to a ritual humiliation of the genre Dub Techno.

A re-rub of classic Digital Mystikz to celebrate Ancient Monarchy’s fifth release already, laced with oblique, Autechre-style melodiousness, and bass-bin armageddon. Next up, Sweet Sixteen is psychedelic techno-not-techno for early-morning dancefloors, complete with a sleazy EBM/New Beat dub by DJ October.

Classic, rampers, dread, Berlin techno; Basic Channel style.
Judge No Sympathy in session.
All four Mohems so far… scorchers.

Swingeing dubwise techno. Recess is sixteen minutes long.
Terrific; hotly recommended.

The Chain Reaction classic.

Geo Rip is John Jones (Dope Body, Nerftoss) with Aaron Leitko and Mike Petillo (Protect-U), making its vinyl debut. Broken samples and electronics improvised live to tape.
An auspicious, thrilling, varied first outing — daredevil, visceral, and fresh — in customarily gorgeous TTT livery, with top-notch sound.

Ljudverket celebrates its tenth release with this characteristically skilled, open-air blend of field recordings and organic, dubwise techno in the tradition of Basic Channel, filled with keen senses of its own particular natural terrains and atmospheres.
‘The thunder and rain of Bas Emfas passes to blue skies above shimmering water, in Luminös Klang. The cerebral jam Konflux Sekvens gives way to the deep emotions of Sonisk Morgonsyn, to close the journey.’
Hyvää syntymäpäivää.

‘Recorded across East London, South-East Kent and Snaresbrook Crown Court during what is described as “the UK media’s attempt at divining integrity from the orchestrated turbulence of Brexit”, with the record setting out to “juggle the documentation of this particular moment with the desire to discern motivation from despair”. World In Action takes in field recordings, woodwind freakouts and percussion from Valentina Magaletti amongst other elements’ (The Quietus).
