The best of electro funk made in Miami combined with European elements, here's how to describe this ultra dancefloor and killer UK release. Coming from Birmingham based Krack-Tronick's furnace, evil "Bass Dimension" offers two distinctive versions in a equal quality. Produced by obscure Fangshi, original tune introduces beautiful 80's strings under vicious and acidic oscillations plus freaky vocals. On the reverse, delivering an awesome and powerful remix, Sir Real turns the whole track into heavy Electro Bass masterpiece. A ripping essential 12''.

After being remixed by none other than Diego and Andreas Kremer on "Love It" EP, young discovery from label owner Brixton strikes back on Kazumi to deliver its very first real four tracks. Opening this essential12'', "Walzstrasse", inspired by Heiko Laux works, declines a sensual and groovy techno while "Die Angst" carries on in a Detroit style. On the flip, vigorous "Elektronenwind" offers an indisputable display of hard techno savoir faire. At last, "Chrysanthemum", a strong minimal composition, confirms that a new talent has born! Both impressive and excellent!

Do you remember Ployd who produced last year the great "Impressive EP" (Resonant 02) ? He's back now with two tracks that should fire all dancefloors of the planet as well as his previous work. The components are nearly the same : perfect sound, many percussions, ultra phat & heavy basslines and rhythm, and of course some atmospheric and hypnotising strings perfectly highlighted during long breaks placed at the middle of each track. The A side track is simply amazing, tension is going higher and higher like some tracks of Technasia... Check it on Resonant website & Get it !!

An efficient production that should work brilliantly on the dancefloors! Last release from Lifeform before September, "New Day Delays" takes up with pumpin' and old school hard techno music again. Written and produced by inexhaustible Andreas Kremer, on tour this summer all around the world, the EP offers three tracks in a kind of underground Detroit style: "Sun", on A side, combines powerful bass and linearity. "Tenesmus" and "The Sky" on the reverse deliver interesting minimal and distorted variations. Don't miss it!

Here comes a release that will satisfy all underground electro freaks. Second Dave Campbell's production on his own Templedog label, UK artist leaves his early techno works to state a high quality syncopated music. Basically dark and new school, Delinquent's new 12'' offers three varied cuts from the breaky frenetic "Fear Led" to the acid "Minimal Electronic" passing thru the experimental "Messy - Dirty - Filthy". Fully equipped with five loops and a vocoderised a cappella, this vinyl is a total success.

No doubt Solar's second inter-sidereal travel through Circular Orbit galaxy will encounter the same success than "Sunspots", his first expedition! Providing two tracks of pure atmospheric electro and driving breaks, mysterious UK producer offers Stripe's sister label one of its crucial releases. A side, called "Yohkoh", serves a fresh funky track with full of alien futuristic samples while brilliant "Return To Io" on the flip turns into electro beat thanks to perfect use of 808 and vocoded lyrics à la Dopplereffekt. Very good!

After the album released last year, here come the remixes! Revisited by World Electric label owner himself, "Wake Up" appears today with two distinctive versions: first one, named "Electroworld Rmx" stays true to the amazing spirit of the title. Second one called "Technoworld Rmx" uses the bassline of classical "Tak A Walk" written by Bolz Bolz and adds a dancefloor touch to the original. Two other tunes conclude this EP : "Sportscar" and "Dorpping", an electro deep jewel that worths buying this 12'' only for it. Excellent !!
