UVB レコード& CD

Review: The Analogue label is right back to its brutal techno, best right out of the blocks at the start of 2023. This 12th such offering is a vicious various artist affair that kicks off with the one and only Perc. 'Skinner' rides a wave of serrated bass energy and turbulent synth work that will blow up any club. Remco Beekwilder's 'Dominance' is darker, even more caustic and direct and UVB's 'Gun & Run' is a hypnotic industrial stomper. Plenty of throwback rave energy and hints of gabba define the maximal closer, Jerm's 'Flesh Hoover.'

Review: UVB kicks off SHIV, a new label project here with a new EP that somewhat harks back to his earlier days with a soulful machine touch coming next to his direct and dynamic drums. 'Jesterize' is an electrifying cut with slamming drums and squeaky synth lines weaving their way in and out of the grooves. 'A Real Fiasco' offers up layers of mutant vocals and 90s hard techno drum work then 'Where Will You Spend Eternity?' takes a more trance tinged and progressive trip to the stars. 'Your Special Day' shuts down at high speed with bright, shiny loops and off-balance piano energy.
