Fresh from serving up some savage " Rave Reworks " on an ultra-limited 12" single, techno's leading number crunchers return with an EP of fresh studio jams.  As usual, what's on offer is intense, full-throttle and mind-altering in the extreme.  Check, for example, opener (and title track) " 000000005 ", where increasingly ragged, wayward and psychedelic acid lines surge forwards over a stomping, kick-drum dominated beat, or " 000000006 ", an acid techno onslaught that waves a glow-stick towards the Halcyon days of German techno-trance.  The acid-fired '90s techno revivalism continues on the flip with two more chunks of sweaty, mind-altering peak-time insanity. Not one for the faint hearted. [ source ]

DJ Bone explains how he helps homeless people in Amsterdam through parties. DJ Bone from Detroit  is currently living in Amsterdam with his wife where he presented a project called the Homeless Homies Benefit Showcase at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). It was held at the Shelter Club where DJ Bone is currently a resident of DJ and the name of the club is symbolic in this case. All the money raised at this ADE event will go to two homeless shelters in Amsterdam . One of the shelters accommodates the homeless during the day and the other during the night. Eric and Ahna (DJ Bone and his wife) have been helping homeless people sell music on his Subject Detorit label for a long time, and over time this has become an organization operating in Detroit and Amsterdam. One of the favorite events they did was in Detroit when they organized a rave party that people could go to without paying entry but had to bring some supplies for shelter. There was a succ

After the stunning Ostati album released on Organic Analogue last year, Georgia's HVL is back with a new album on the label for his home turf, Bassiani.  As a resident of the infamous Tbilisi club, he knows innately how to communicate the vibe of one of the world's most widely discussed techno clubs, only this time he's taken a slightly tougher stance.  " Eyes In The Sky " has a fierce, paranoid acid edge, while "F12 (Korg Patch Mix)" gets into freaky, cerebral techno territory.  There are intriguing interludes and skits, and plenty more dancefloor heaters delivered with an inventiveness that once again affirms HVL's status as one of the brightest talents operating in the loosely defined field of deep techno.

Cisco Ferreira continues to fly the flag for rugged hardware powered techno with personality, well over 20 years since he first emerged.  The Advent is rightly hailed as a mark of assured quality for good reason, and Thema makes a smart move in signing up this fresh grip of tracks from the veteran producer.  " Kombination 100 " is a lurid, slightly unhinged acid workout from the outer limits, while " Dorian Blue " sets a more moody , aquatic tone with a dash of electro thrown in for good measure.  " In Time " brings things up in tempo and attitude, sporting some surging 909 drums guaranteed to get bodies striding with purpose, and then " Rhythm " spins out into trippy electro territory for the heads-down travelers to get spiritually expanded to.

Earlier in the year, Luke Slater offered up one of the most full-throttle and mind-altering Planetary Assault Systems releases of recent times, " Straight Shooting ". He opts for a similarly mind-altering, forthright fusion of sci-fi sounds and jacking techno rhythms on this fine double EP, which marks the British veteran's return to Ostgut Ton after a three-year break. It was apparently inspired by his experiences in Berghain and on tracks like " Red " - all looped bleeps, computerized rhythms and hazy vocal samples - and the thrusting, acid-fired tribal stomp of " Whip It Good" you can definitely hear the influence of the Berlin club space. It's there, too, in the wonky broken techno/electro fusion of " Kamani " and the feverish " Peru Drift ", which sounds like a 21st century take on Jaydee's " Plastic Dreams ". [source]

Free Tekno is a journey into the true underground of illegal underground techno festivals in Central Europe. The director travels with a group of Dutch and Irish young men who organize  illegal rave parties  in the forests of  Germany  and the  Czech  Republic. This is called the  underground   that is often written or referred to, but we rarely see it. As one interviewee puts it:   "We don't want money to profit, we do this out of love and be at a positive zero; if we make money, we use the money for travel or vacation expenses." "How many  parties  like this are made in which we are at all times exposed to the police shutting down music and confiscating equipment, but when you live for  electronic  music and have  enthusiasm , you do not think about blue caps" -  a director with Gunnar Hauth.
