New tech house from Mexican pairing on 530Techno. Includes free download of Oilpanic remix. The EP's title track is a lovely warm chiming piece of techno, with a smooth pace hardly suited to a dancefloor. Pick of the EP. Hypnose E Thanatos is a delicate synth driven thing, equaly unsuited to the rough boys on the dancefloor. The Oilpanic remix of Hypnose E Thanatos is a bit more angular and truer to the tech house description given to the EP. The Android Cartel remix of the title track is much colder and more digital [...]
Since I've quite a backlog, I'm going to stick with new stuff for the time being. And, let's be honest, fewer people bother reading blogs this late in december. Anyway, new EP on 530 Techno from Pontbender who featured on remix duty yesterday. And a free track to download . Semicircle is the techno counterpoint to Zoe's Sunshine on a Rainy Day , since it reeks of stormy weatherfronts. Techno but with warm synths give this a rather sultry feel. Remote Locations is both funkier and simultaneously more austere in its cool leaving-on-a-jet-plane manner. Jay Tripwire [...]
EP on 530TEchno from last month which I somehow missed. But not the strongest package 530 have produced. The original mix of Boozit is a tech house chugger of no particular merit. But Angel Alanis gives it an acid feel and some bass bloops. Syphon gives it a minimal feel. Pointbender also goes for low key but with warmer synths, somehow more interestingly. Blurb: Intoxicating main-room fire power from Portland, Oregon based artists, JAK & LilRoj. Boozit is a dark [...]
Another release on 530Techno , which is becoming a label to watch for their proper techno releases. This time Stunp & Symbio release a two-track Wurl and Deep . Fried , with remixes. There's a track to download. Happily it's the best of the four. Deep.Fried is a minimal clattery thing. A bit too wilful for me. Piltdown Sound provide the remix and bring it back into a more conventional and more satisfactory techno line. Still not essential mind. Wurl is the downloadable track. This is the best track here. [...]
New EP out on 530Techno, who usually bring quality techno teleases. This one's by Lady Blacktronica and is described as soulful but I needn't have worried. This is still techno. Track to download and EP to listen. Lead track Good Traxx is a mix of low key techno with chopped soul vocal samples. It has the air of an unsettling dream that is going wrong and turning into a nightmare but hasn't quite got there. Diego Moreno takes on remix duties. Originally from Guatemala but now based in Spain, he smooths out the awkwardness from the original track and returns [...]
What kind of name is Ribbon Tweeter Worship? Is it some drugs reference of which I'm not aware or have I missed the point completely? Anyway, there's a new EP out - Headwarmer. Listen to the EP below and there's a track to download. Title track Headwarmer is a tech house groover which chugs along. Blacktop Beauty has a more minimal, slightly jittery feel, boosted by some thin funk. Chris Fortier remixes Headwarmer into a more acid-infused concoction. A little Richie Hawtin perhaps. Meanwhile, Oilpanic takes on Blacktop Beauty and [...]
