Co-owner of German hard techno label Decomplex Audio with long-time fellow partner Phil Davis, Harald Klotzberg signs today first release of its subdivision Collapse, a may be less rough but as focused on dancefloor home if you listen to "Redundanz" and "Diskrete Strukturen", two hypnotic 4/4 cuts showing lots of energy and linearity. Fully equipped with a dark and industrial Kay D. Smith remix, this efficient EP which promises Collapse a brilliant future should find a good place in your flight-case easily !

This 11th release of this label based in Köln is done by M. Klein & M. Schwanen. Two producers, two sides, two tracks of dark, noisy & raw minimal techno. The first longplayer is pumpin' & pretty hard so that it is dedicated to the dancefloor. The other title is especially melancholic and has no kick so it will be perfect for a chillout. Check it on Areal web site.

After having perpetrated a first-rate "Elektra EP" in 2001, Belgium duo from Kobayashi, Invasion, Clockwork and Purple Recordings return with UK Tortured sub-label managed by Billy Nasty. In the programme: four heavy electro unreleased cuts based upon powerful rhythm, solid vocoder introduced in minute doses and subjacent techno dark influence. Particularly brilliant is heady second track on B side call "Let The Music Play". Barry White'd better behave himself!

It's a real pleasure to see again the Canadian producer on Sender. The first side brings a "Trance-Rock mix" very melancholic where Jake Fairley's distorted voice is flying over dark string and sounds. A track full of emotion! On the other side, the original mix has no vocals but it's still highly intense thanks to the use of other sounds. Jake is producing techno that perfectly merges strings, cracks and pumpin' rhythm. La grande classe! For sure "Cold world" will satisfy all people who loved Jake's excellent album: "Crisis". Check it on Sender web site !!
