Axling - Verge EP on Abstraction

Very talented Swedish artist Axling making his debut at the Abstraction label with a package of exceptional productions, showing his characteristic raw and analog sound in each of them. Starting with '[1010]' a cut loaded with movement where he makes very good use of the classic bleep by dividing it into two parts, a low and a much more treble one, thus creating a complex and contagious rhythmic pattern.  On the second track, we have ' Screen ' with an imposing kick and an envelope sub-bass as predominant elements that accompany the very well programmed synth arpeggio and 909 hi-hats sequence. We continue with '10 sec to panic' a track of a more progressive character and influenced by that sound that was so popular in the raves of the late 90s , where the artist boldly leaves the comfort zone without losing his distinctive touch. 'End Signal ' is another organic cut, that many would describe as Loop or Hypnotic Techno , which uses

Gigi de Martino - Revelation EP on Mechanikal

Marching onto Mechanikal with confident stride is the two-track floor-filler on an EP by Italian Techno talent Gigi de Martino entitled 'Revelation'. Strong and full of purpose, ' Revelation ' makes its statement from the very beginning. Big, hard kicks drive the vibes as the full techno soundscape opens up to wonderfully lush and vibrant synth-lines.  Put this in your set if you want to fill the floor!  Equally driving and slightly more percussive is the excellent ' Universalis '. A full, festival-ready cut, full of flavor and character.

Skov Bowden - Turbine Ep including remix by Marco Raineri on Mechanikal Hard

Skov Bowden  comes for his Mechanikal debut with an absolutely incredible EP entitled ' Turbine '!  Heavy, warm and twisting - All the best characteristics that make up the perfect Hard Techno cut and ' Turbine ' possesses them all. Skov's unique and inspiring brand of Techno is immediately injected into rolling bass patterns and intricate phrasing build into a full-on, hypnotic swell that will take you to the front of any dance floor.  ' I Can't Breathe ' will leave you in that exact state. Darker and deeper in tone, 'I Can't Breathe' is well thought out and perfectly weighted - A true Techno classic that's hypnotizing to the very end.  Complete with an incredible remix of 'Turbine' from  Marco Raineri. The ' Turbine' E.P. is a sure-fire must for any Techno lover out there.

Diffused Signal - Hors EP on Indistinct Approach

Filterheadz Infinite EP on Mavic Music

Belgium duo The Filterheadz realised debut on Mavic Music with two powerhouse tracks extensively road-tested and guaranteed for the dance floor. The lead track " Infinite " starts with a powerful rolling baseline, kick and sneaky distorted stabs and a timeless vocal before breaking down into a sensuous pad that sits underneath hoover'esqe like leads, screaming rides and effects that carry the music to the finish line. " Locomotive " on the flip side starts off with drips of acid and stabs creating maximum intensity from the first few bars. The track infectiously weaves in and out between masterfully tuned effects and complex percussive grooves resulting in any acid lovers dream track.
