Emmanuel - Mind Your Business

A properly mental track from this Greek DJ´s latest release, the Vyper EP, out on Monnom Black (Monnom Black 004) a vinyl-only record label from London. Huge kicks give this tune depth, closing a very aggresive - and banging - record.

Phil Kieran - Felix Says Go

A very trippy track from Los Angeles producer Truncate, who keeps the beat raw and tight in his trademark way and moves us along with it. 3 new tracks on red vinyl (TRUNCATE11).

Christian Smith feat. Cevin Fisher - The Urge

Christian Smith should know how to make an effective techno scorcher, and he proves it in this elegant track off his Stranger Than Paradise LP, out on Tronic (TR 160). House legend Cevin Fisher lends a hand in the production duties, creating a slow burning instant classic.

Deapmash - Meters (Divided remix)

Bringing this release by Black Nite Records (BLN005) back from earlier in the year, French producer Deapmash turns out two interesting original tracks, but it´s Divided´s remix of Meters what truly catches the ear, with an unstoppable kick anchoring an otherwise relaxed atmosphere.

Pev & Kowton - Vapours (Pangaea Remix)

WIRE - Vanish

Mysterious colombian producer WIRE unleashes the Encounter EP through Dutch label Mord Records (MORD013). Six tracks that will leave you with a strange uneasy feeling.

Dense & Pika - Bad Ink

Dense and Pika return to Hotflush with an EP full of evil beats (HF043), starting with the clanking title track all the way to slower techno roller Bad Ink, hard to miss.

Straight up hard techno with a massive kick and underground vibe on this Berlin trio´s debut with the mighty 50 Weapons (50Weapons39). It´s back to raw basics and it´s working, no frills on these beats.
