Sequel レコード& CD

Review: Sequel Records kicks off their journey with a bang, unleashing First Sequence, a four-track release that plunges deep into the realms of late 90s techno nostalgia. Each track boasts its own distinct flavour while collectively paying homage to the era's pioneering sounds. 'Large Room' by Linear System opens the gates with unrelenting force, channeling the spirit of techno luminaries like Surgeon and Bryan Zentz. Its hard-hitting beats and hypnotic loops make it a formidable dancefloor weapon, sure to keep the energy pulsating. Following suit, Mariano DC's 'The Rising' injects industrial percussion elements into the mix, creating a relentless groove that's tailor-made for peak-time DJ sets. Its pulsating rhythms and driving force ensure its place as a secret weapon in any DJ's arsenal. Flipping over to Side 2, Linear Phase takes listeners on a journey through the cosmos with 'Weak Signal.' Laden with sci-fi vibes and a heavy, ominous beat, this track immerses listeners in a dystopian sonic landscape that is sinister. Closing out the release, Translate transports us to the outer reaches of the universe with 'Plasma.' Drawing inspiration from the iconic sounds of Jeff Mills' Axis label, this track delivers a spacey, futuristic atmosphere layered atop a foundation of relentless techno rhythms. With its diverse array of tracks, this release sets a strong precedent for what's to come from this exciting new label.
