Review: Thomas P. Heckmann is back with a new outing under his Metric System moniker. His return to Kontakt brings fresh house depths with opener 'Velo-City' kicking off in urgent fashion with quickened drums and spoiling synths locking you in. 'Traveller' is a dubbed-out cut with a fleshy, liquid low end filled with reverb and echoing hits that disappear off to the horizon. Last of all is 'Soul 440' (Vril remix) which ups the pace and brings sleek dub house energy and majestic cosmic synth details. All three of these are nice and cultured cuts.

Review: Sirko Muller, one half of Tokomak and a familiar face from Mojuba's Wandering sublabel, makes his Kontakt debut with two deep, organic dub tracks. 'Provenance' sets the tone, its dubwise bassline and echoing melodies creating a hypnotic atmosphere. Don Williams, head of Mojuba, delivers a remix that pushes the hypnotic elements even further, transforming 'Provenance' into a mesmerizing dub techno excursion. The 12" is rounded out by 'Providence', a dubwise masterpiece with its echoing delays and spacious atmospherics. Expect to get lost in the cavernous depths of these dub-infused soundscapes, perfect for late-night listening or early morning meditations.
Review: Mirko Muller heads deep into the night with this new single on the German label Kontakt. 'Provenance' is a perfectly unhurried nine minutes which defies the modern way of serving up content in short, shape, attention grabbing bursts. Instead this is a deep and dubby sound with a slow, lumbering rhythm and smudged synths that provides the basis for your brain to go off an explore on its own. The Don Williams remix provides a more direct sound but it is still super deep and fluid and a final cut ice against casts you adrift in a sea of dub techno tranquility.
