ANNE レコード& CD

Review: Emerald's 25th outing takes the form of another superb compilation with four artists who have already released on the label and plenty of new names making an equally good impression. ANNE kicks off with the deep, thudding kicks of 'Coral Reefs' complete with lush hits to smooth the groove. There is more weight and intensity to the oversized hi-hats ringlets on Mike Konstantinidis's 'Apocalypse', DJ Plant Texture layers in plenty of gritty and grime to his gritty 'Swingers' and Jarrod Yeates goes for a twisted after-party vibe on his intense and unrelenting 'Sesh Gremlin', with many more highlights besides.

Review: For their next trick, Renegade Methodz presents a record that brings together three of Greece's top electronic music exports in Anne, Endlec and Sera J. All of them hail from Thessaloniki and are artists that have gained international recognition with releases on some of the scene's best labels. For this project, they deliver six tracks of cutting-edge techno production, each reflecting their signature style. Symbolically titled Rework Our Unity, this 12" shines deserving attention on the scene in Thessaloniki while also providing some super club cuts.
