"In the first remix Detroits own experimental innovator Ryan Crosson goes surgical; injecting Smokes track with a rippling bass line that provides the main theme for the music as it sits comfortably underneath gentle synths and Alexs mega-morphed, ghostly vocals. A percussion transfusion sees the original, intricate and glitch percussion being carved out and replaced [...]

French DJ and producer Chloé Thevenin is a bit of a dark horse. Her releases over the past five years have come with little to no fanfare but have been more than warmly received. As part of the Kill The DJ crew she has now released two very accomplished albums, her most recent, One In Other took little regard for what an album by a techno DJ should sound like, including lush downtempo moments and abstract meanderings amongst the club friendly tracks. "Diva," from the album was one of the highlights for its spooked out, pace-conscious meander through [...]

La tech-house devient le nouveau cri de ralliement, qui séduit, tandis que les pionniers sont appelés à changer ou à mourir. C'est dans cette ambiance d'extase et de lascivité que trois artistes [...]
