Nostalgia, when you hold us! Certified acid, this fourth release signed Headroom on Holzplatten's sublabel serves as a pretext for a serious TB303 revival. Our Swedish Patrik Skoog, Aon FluX and Henrik Larsson deliver here two dancefloor titles learnedly orchestrated, built around an efficient bassline, some tribal elements and furious loops à la Hardfloor. "Bad Acid" as stressed on B side? Not, rather the opposite. Congratulations.

Hard to review this output without mentioning neither its author nor the French label at the origin of this bootleg. Anyway, produced by one of the most wanted English activists within Edge City, this monster one side EP takes again with the mythical Eric B & Rakim hip hop cut going back to 1988 in a modern and admirable electrobass version! If... read more

Bracchial's fourth release. As usual now, here come two hard techno cuts for a one side EP focused on the dancefloor. Discovered on pornostarmusic.com website, Costa opens hostilities with "2004.28374463", a humming piece marked by a frantic rhythm and some frightening strident tonalities à la Jeff Mills. Affiliated to Belgian label Nova Zembla, Marchetto & Scheurer as for them sign an aggressive "6 sign Min Of Pain" based upon a powerful bassline and several violent saturations. A perfect DJ tool for massive sound lovers!

Obviously, there was a double pack on Drop Bass Network in 1996 then two live CD ("Live At Oper3000 "and" Live In Phoenix") in 1997 and 1999 but never until now Brixton had not release any album. A gap from now on filled with the unexpected publication of his first true opus furthermore on his own label. The style of Norbert Wieschollek somewhat... read more

Here comes the second collaboration between Brixton and Ramon Zenker, half of Hardfloor and Phenomania (Remember "Who Is Elvis?"). The German producers sign here an energetic EP in the pure tradition of the first Holzplatten. Discrete Acid sonorities, dancefloor basslines and interesting tribal digressions in particular on "Ab". An extremely well built three tracker EP resolutely techno. Highly recommended!
