News also of a second album from Ø, Alone in Time?, which displays a sleight of hand in linear arrangements shaped to fit the warehouse frame, plus a hint of Detroit tint.
“Onto Them” is laced with close-cut delays and groaning spring reverbs, adding a rough edge to a precise production. The flipside ventures into harder terrain, thumping low-end and mordant melodies, similarly mixing timbres. On “Two Worlds” the Phat Ctrl-er has Elysian synth-fields extend over its prelude, before letting glitched-up drum loops loose to skitter through a reduced version, playing like mixer taps with the hot-cold elements. Over in Belgium, usual suspects Token host Ctrls for a sixth EP already! The Two Worlds EP melds turbo-charged rhythms and celestial synth-work into spiky jack tracks. “Alto” is the Glaswegian’s customary ethereal pulsing cosmo-scape with bass-pulse and refined atmo, break-beaten by Aegis, hypno-gogued by RVO, low-end pressure released by Ness, who keeps it blue-skied, blissed and ambient trance-kissed. Before leaving DE, back to Lanthan for seconds, and Deepbass‘s Alto EP, with remixes from Aegis, Reggy van Oers and Ness. The title track, more on the peak time side of things, is nicely infused with deep pads for a Detroit spin, but “GHT” tops it with a trippy twist. This latter imprint also hosts ROD (Dutchman Benny Rodriguez) for the intriguing HKH EP. Quite the busy boy lately, Edit Select has remixes for Jeff Rushin on Wall Music Seraphim Rytm and Sonitus Echo for Silent Season, not forgetting the A Continuation EP on CLR. Lanthan, geologically a rare earth metal, mythologically a hidden or evasive entity, seeks to mix music with architecture and photography, featuring ‘innovative, indestructible and powerful remixes from respected producers.’ The Select man’s “Hi Line Extraction” is a fervid track with pellucid synth, bass throb and swingeing hi-hat Parker riffs around with his signature flange to give the track a mesmeric turn Signore PRC endows it with a new mood, stretching out some of the original elements into swirling strands. Still in Germany, Christian Gerlach launches dio with the Hi Line Extraction EP, featuring an original mix from Edit Select and remixes from two usual headf**k suspects, Mike Parker and Claudio PRC. SA bossman Lucy moonlights from his label dayjob for Samurai Horo ( Samurai Music Group‘s experimental arm) to deliver The Descent (Lucy Remixes). His retools smear creepy captures from Pact Infernal‘s The Descent over a sinuous 4-on-the-floor into two long form pulsing hypnotic groove slabs the “Cosmic Remix,” at 14 minutes, and “Subterranean Remix,” at 11+, make up the most compelling 25 minutes of Outer Limits Techno you’ll hear this year. And inaugural Monad man, Chevel, has just a full-length, Blurse, which doesn’t sound Techno at all–more on an ‘experimental’ tip, all chopped beats, jarring drum kit grabs and ‘block’ percussion (nods to dubstep) with a fizzing patina, replete with radio static, processed sound bites, and decay FX. Monad XX is still warm, with Zeitgeber (Lucy and Speedy J.) re-calibrating their pointilist rhythm and sound mix, stirring shapes from the darkness, propelling dissonant sequences and wavering machine hum with slushy beat cycles. Overall, KK sees/seizes the Numerical Future and mapped it onto some of the most visceral EDM tropes from recent past. “MX-03.11” is the one to watch, though, anchored with a massive slice of didge-y/digi-drone and a hail of percussive fire. “MX-01.11” casts grey shapes adrift over a dissected rhythm with slow ritual kicks, a canopy of dust particles and other microsonics “MX-02.11” is more structured, centred on a stepping groove cleft with a clicks’n’cut palette “MX-04.11” infuses caustic low-end beats with deep glitchy tones and synthetic shards. No mouse-click-shtick DJ-tool-fool, his Monad XXI is expert knob twiddling a-go-go–tense dark space teeming with timbral tweakage. Herr Karter has a thing for numbers, and has spent years down in his Kript moving math codes into musical sequences to good effect. Germany calling, with updates from Outer Limits go-to Stroboscopic Artefacts, which offers sonic savant Ken Karter a slot in their Monad series.
