Review: Faut Section's Perception Series is back with a second sizzling installment of freshly made techno. Lewis Fautzi & Norbak pair off to open up with 'Code Of Deception', a barreling cut with icy hi hats and taught bass twangs full of dusty factory floor menace. Oscar Mulero offers one of his signature loop-techno rollers in 'Zw System' Temudo then rattles walls with the mysterious bass rumbles of 'Niiv'. Completing what is an EP that is as varied as it is vital is Kessell with the dubby broken techno beats of 'Time Domain' which has fizzing synths cracking like static on a 90s TV screen.
Review: Portuguese power wafts our way from PoleGroup's very own Norbak, a pre-eminent producer from the label's neighbouring country. Across his relatively short career Norbak has developed a distinct personal style, ever-evolving and changing. On this latest EP, we first hear 'Regra' and 'Ferramenta', both of which aggressively ferment a series of metrically unsound stares-into-the-abyss, combining knocky, low-reg fidgets with toppier emergencies and washouts. B-siders 'Amarante 9am' and 'Nota' techno prisoners either, opting for a more classically industrial sound vis-a-vis alarming stabs and crackly lower mantles.
Review: We rue the hypothetical day that 'Raving Disorder' gets added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Luckily, our no-nonsense Neapolitan pummel-peddlers Carbone Records have reclaimed the term before any dodgy psychiatrist could possibly summon the gall to misdiagnose a perfectly healthy (albeit still sometimes pill-popping) cohort. What's more, they've laid down six ultra-intense hard kernels of maximum enjoyment here, from Warind's tongue-in-cheek 'Give Me Your Money' to DJ Almighty's hardstylistic 'Underground', all on distinct smiley-faced green wax. Administer that, chumps!
