Stroboscopic Artefacts Germany レコード& CD

Review: Stepping up for the third release in the series is Berlin legend Efdemin -- bringing a three-track journey that is unequivocally enduring and flexible for journeys on-and-off the dancefloor.

Review: Techno hero Adriana Lopez follows up powerful releases on Modularz and her own Grey Report with this collection of mesmerising techno journeys for the ever reliable Stroboscopic Artefacts' sixth installment in their Totem series. "Embera" sees the Colombian artist venturing down a ghostly trail previously unexplored. Enter the void on the tunnelling freefall session of the title track, trance out to the strobe-lit hypnotherapy of "Saija" before the mental overdrive of closer "Awa" takes you further down the spiral with its intoxicating and droning motions. Exactly the type of sonic tools that you could imagine her deploying during one of her acclaimed and epic DJ sets - this one is serious!

Review: Berlin-based DJ and producer Denise Rabe has become something of a cult heroine since her first releases in 2015. The years since have found her operate in her own parallel techno world, where psychoactive sounds and heavy drones permeate your ears, then your brain, then your whole being. Now she steps away from her own Rabe label for a debut on Stroboscopic Artefacts, which finds her take charge of the Totem series. Opener "Manifesto" is a driving techno groover with ghoulish synth designs and keys from the 5th dimension, then "Don't Leave" will utterly trip you out with its panning pads and mysterious leads. "Clouds" completes the journey with doom laden and wide spread kick drums that lurch over and over through some ruined post-human world. Tip!

Review: Five years on since their last joint outing in Stroboscopic Artefacts Monad series, Speedy J and Lucy team up again as Zeitgeber on 'Seventeen Zero Four', a new three-tracker descending deep into the filthy,tenebrous outskirts of club music.
