TRIBAL TECHNO
A percussive orchestra, valuing Hypnus’ experimental nature.
Postdynamic – New Faces [Postdynamic, 2021-12-28]
VARIOUS ARTISTS
So many well-designed tracks in one VA on Cliche Morph’s label Postdynamic, dancefloor-oriented and made by newcomers: we call it “a bundle of secret weapons”.
Technologia Organica – Organica001 [Technologia Organica, 2021-11-18]
VARIOUS ARTISTS
Eclectic VA, with efficient games of tension, featuring tracks by Laura BCR, BLNDR, AWB and many more.
Seiichiro Itoyama – Autocatalysis [Liminal, 2021-11-20]
DANCEFLOOR-ORIENTED
It’s punk, it’s harsh, it’s distorted, it’s organic, it’s dope, it’s Seiichiro Itoyama on his label Liminal.
Desh – Swamps of Karasabi [Kombinat, 2021-11-10]
DANCEFLOOR-ORIENTED
Bangers Alert on the young but very promising UK label Kombinat. Immense release by Desh; you won’t believe that this is actually his first one…
Undveld – Extract [Undveld, 2021-11-19]
INDUSTRIAL TECHNO
Dope industrial techno self-release by the Lithuanian artist, made to degrease the engine.
Arnaud Le Texier – Sample Pack Bundle [Children Of Tomorrow, 2021-11-19]
SAMPLE PACK
The French artist releases a bundle of tools on his label Children Of Tomorrow, with sick sounds and percussions.
Slono – How To Be Less Stiff On The Dancefloor [Perimeter Junk, 2021-11-19]
DANCEFLOOR-ORIENTED
“It’s a dance floor, not a talking floor”: we love this description; Slono goes straight to the point and brings massive hypnotic tracks on Perimeter Junk, flirting with industrial techno.
Beckenbauer – Ocarina Nebulae EP [Systolic Records, 2021-11-19]
TRIBAL TECHNO
Dive into a Native American tribe two centuries ago to smoke the peace pipe with Beckenbauer, in his beautiful release on Systolic Records, including a superb remix by Giacinte.
Eraseland – Santa EP [Microgarden lab, 2021-11-18]
MICROHOUSE
Interesting release by the Colombian artist, merging the microhouse with dub techno. It’s subtle and groovy, like always on Microgarden lab.
Van Morph – Unspecified determinations [Khoros, 2021-11-15]
DRONE-ISH TECHNO
Bass tones from the cave by Van Morph on his label Khoros, whispering deep musical words in the ears and bringing the energy for a ritualistic dance.
