Review: Chicago mainstay and Disctechno label head Mark Grusane reunites with Detroit's Eric Schwab for the second instalment of the Midwest Rhythms series. It's a real quality EP that takes you to the heart of the Motor City with 'Easy Strider' blending low-slung, skittering drum patterns with a classic FM bass line and hints of 303. 'Acid Hole' offers an acidic pulse that builds tension over a jacking 707 beat that is brought to life with spacey effects and on the B-side, 'You're In Danger' merges dissonant pads, plucky synths, rich bass and warped verbal warnings. The record closes with Eric's reimagined version of 'A House of My Own' which brings fresh textures to a modern Chicago house classic.

Review: It is 30 years since Curley and R-Zac joined forces to cook up their Sahara Tekniq EP way back in 1994. Surely, the legendary Dutch free party scene hero is sadly no longer with us, but with R-Zac he very much laid down a definitive blueprint for this type of textural, dense techno. It is the first of a big series of newly remastered reissues from the Network23 label and it offers up four visceral, high-impact, live-sounding techno workouts that are packed with anxious synths and whirring machine sounds, unrelenting drums and more which is sure to bring real chaos to the clubs.

Review: RIOT Radio is a fiercely independent techno label based in Scotland that roll out another in its 'limited as fuck' series of releases. This one is also Matthias Koch's first-ever vinyl release and offers some eye-wateringly jacked-up and frosty beats that are all primed and ready to blow up any dance floor. Take 'Vice' - a heavy, marching cut with wiry electronics and fuzzy sonics. 'An Angel Told Me To Do It' is alive with ghoulish voices and screw synths and 'She Bites' then slams out more swampy techno madness. Low Entropy's 'Stripped' remix closes out in brutal and brilliant fashion.

Moon Chasers (limited hand-numbered translucent blue vinyl 12")
Cat: ZC ELEC006. Rel: 25 Mar 22
Review: Zodiak Commune reaches right back into the early days of the Dutch acid techno and electro scene, and it remains an essential outlet for tough and gnarly rave gear for darkened souls. This new record is a split between Umwelt and Serge Geyzel, continuing a series of split discs pitting serious underground operators against each other. Umwelt's side kicks off with the blistering acid electro of 'The Wake Of The Anthropocene' and follows up with heavy but melodic pearler 'Cosmic Dancer'. Geyzel's 'Off The Ground' is a nervy slice of acid with sad-hearted undertones, and 'Hostage' completes the set with a moody, percussive throwdown.

Review: Ascendant Berlin duo Blame The Mono return with their latest outing on French label Molekul titled 'Riot Toys'. There's no holds barred on this hard techno onslaught: the adrenalised energy of opening cut 'Gazellehorden' (feat HerrClem) fires up the engine in style, followed by the hyperaware energy of 'Switch The Pilot' and its jacked-up big-beat influence which also lunges straight for the jugular. Over on the flip, 'Funk Herald' will keep you tripping out under the strobelight, plus one more peak time banger to hammer the message home in the form of 'Bad Disco' which will keep the heads down on the dancefloor.

Review: Purposeful and fad-free techno troubadours Planet Rhythm welcome aboard Antic Soul here for a quartet of sleek, minimal, effective cuts. 'Utapau' is super fast and layers up pulsing synths with wavy pads and driving drums. 'Asukara is even more urgent but this time feels anxious in its raw percussion and for the way the drums are almost stacked on top of one another. 'Transmutation' brings plenty of dub synth work and far-sighted Detroit melodies and 'Just A Dream' rides on shimmering synths and gliding hits that pack a punch both spiritually and emotionally.

Review: There's something pleasingly primal and no-nonsense about Amelie Lens' brand of nostalgia-soaked big room techno. As ypu'll no doubt be aware, Lens specialises in banging, rave-igniting workouts which combine nods to the glassy-eyed, early-90s Belgian club sound with blisteringly big, booming 21st century techno beats. 'In My Mind', the title track from her latest EP, is another breathlessly excitable variation on this energy-packed formula, with atmospheric spoken word snippets, jumpy electronic riffs and twisted 'Hoover' noises riding a bowel-bothering bassline and insanely heavy drums. Lens opts for deeper, spacey-sounding chords and psychedelic acid motifs on the similarly breathless 'First Light', before opting for an even more hallucinatory, brain-melting distorted techno sound on 'Trippin'.

Streets Of Melancolie (180 gram vinyl 12")
Cat: PTT 007. Rel: 19 Jan 23
Review: Proper Techno Tunes does not muck about. This seventh sizzling cut is another head-banging EP of blistering and hardcore acid-laced jams to blow up any warehouse. 'Anomaly' is off balance and sleazy as well as being super-sized. 'Dica' bangs the box and frazzles your brain with its skewed 303s and 'Melancolie' is a menacing bit of deep space downbeat. That pause allows you to catch your breath before more big-time tech rollers on the flipside. This is an EP that should come with a health warning, frankly.

Review: Jacidorex is a techno producer who has been active on the scene since the mid-noughties and known for his signature acid-infused sound. He has released numerous EPs and albums over the years on various labels including Acid Night, Obs.Cur, and Smashead Records and is back with another album - UNFACED01. This one sees the Belgian DJ/producer pushing the boundaries of the genre even further, with his signature brand of dynamic hypnotic acid patterns. It begins with a cinematic introduction before opening into a hip-hop track, which then swiftly transitions into electro, industrial and trance influences throughout.

Review: If you ever wondered where the line between techno and hard dance lies these days, let Viper Diva be your guide. The collaborative project from Shlomo and Hadone is a boisterous barrel of fist-pumping fun with plenty of hard trance motifs filtered through that evil techno veneer. As 'Broken Dreams Club' explicitly "welcomes you to the gates of hell", you might well be reminded of the sound you'd as likely hear at an early 00s Tidy Weekender, but that's absolutely fine with us. '24/7 You' has a slightly more melodic tint, although still shot through with certain gothic malaise, while 'Love & Riot' brings some poppy vocal slithers into the mix to up the emotional factor without dialling back the punishing rhythm section.

Review: You can always depend on Ali Wells' mighty Perc Trax for the most brutal industrial strength tackle and its latest release certainly delivers that. Scottish enfant terribles Clouds take up the reins on TPT 096 titled Clubmatter. All the classic tropes of 90s dance music are mashed together in an unholy mixture on the foreboding energy of 'Ravesight', heading into post Y2K peak time techno on the functional main room affair of 'NRG - Density' and 'Corestyle' respectively - the latter's injection of classic trance arpeggios adding to its adrenalised effects. Finally, the Perth drug legends go out all guns blazing on the pummeling 'Liquid Tank' with its foreboding bassline underpinned by the most visceral kicks.

FOXBAM INC 001 (feat Mr Gasmask, Mark Archer remixes) (limited 180 gram vinyl 12")
Cat: FBI 001. Rel: 11 Sep 23
Review: Foxbam Inc is a new label from underground Scottish talent Foxtrot and countryman and long-time acid lover Egebamyasi. Both feature on this first EP which is a various artists affair inspired by many years of playing and partying in the dance world. HIs 'Freaky Foundations' kick off with flat-footed and hard-assed techno, then comes Mr Gasmark who has roots in back metal but loves "a dark acid cocktail". He serves up a high-octane 303-laced monster banger here in the form of a remix of Araknoid. Egebamyasi's 'Fryer State Of Unconsciousness' is a wall of distorted noise and sheet metal synths that never let up. Last of all is a remix from Mark Archer, half of the legendary Altern8, and here offers up a jacking house cut with fat acid lines tearing it up.

Review: This is the first full-length LP from DJ and producer Tripped, known for his hard, fast, raw experimental techno style. Despite having released his own music since 2004 - mainly on labels such as Industrial Strength, Motormouth Recordz, and PRSPCT - Tripped may never have worked himself this hard. On 'A Thing About Something', he stretches the foundation of genres like hardcore techno, breakcore, gabber and schranz into entirely new reconstitutions. Strange hardstyle kick armaggedons, serene breakbeat floaters turned creepy and pressurized chambers of claustrophobic doom ensue in an overall whirlwind of pure mayhem.
