Review: When Mark Ambrose's "Smoky Clinic EP" first appeared in record stores way back in 1997, tech-house was still a relatively new phenomenon. Ambrose's productions were in keeping with the freshly minted style's original ethos, fixing the futurism and sci-fi intent of Detroit techno to the rhythmical approach of New York and Chicago house. As this reissue proves, the record has aged well, sounding as deep, melodiously, hypnotic and far-sighted in 2018 as it did in '97. While there is one trip into tougher, slightly darker territory - see "Hocus Pocus" - it's the blissful, intergalactic melodiousness of tracks like "Starship" and dreamy opener "X-Rays" that lingers in the memory.

Track 5 (6:47)
Track 6 (5:30)

Review: Roger Gerressen launched the Monoware project last year, via a split 12" on Sushitech that also contained a killer cut from Ion Ludwig. Here the experienced Dutch producer returns to the same label with a much more expansive proposition: the first Monoware full-length. While there's one foray into head-in-the-clouds, sofa-friendly deep dub territory (the delicious closing cut), the other tracks clearly take aim at the dancefloor. These club workouts are all rooted in techno, but various draw unfluence from crackly, lo-fi explorations, intergalactic broken techno, tech-jazz, toasty deep house and the blazed, metronomic pulse of dub techno. Happily, Gerressen barely puts a foot wrong throughout, serving up tracks that are as warm and otherworldly as they are sturdy and club-ready.

Stardust (8:16)

Review: Since dropping his debut E.P way back at the turn of the millennium, Felix Krocher has gleefully hopped between labels. Here he makes his debut on another established imprint, Monika Kruse's Terminal M. He's in prime form, too, layering up foreboding noises, sustained notes, growling electronics and metronomic beats on title track "Provident". "Euforic" subtly lives up to its name by underpinning rising melody lines with a chunky bassline and bustling beats, while "Stardust" sees Kocher make merry with a full-throttle electro motif, banging beats and atmospheric pads. Old pal Victor Ruiz delivers the E.P's obligatory remix, alternating between undulating melodies and grumpy grooves on a fine interpretation of "Provident".

Bigger Easy EP (12")

Oblack Spain

Cat: OBLACK 020. Rel: 08 Feb 17

Bigger Easy (8:54)
Get Back (7:54)
Get Back (Tomoki Tamura remix) (6:10)

Review: For the 20th release of the Valencian label Oblack, it is over to Los Pastores aka Snna and Nacho Arauz/Juliche Hernandez from the Canary Islands (DownHill Music). They gather up all their talents to come up with one of the most clubby, dance floor oriented tracks from the label thus far. "Bigger Easy" is classic late noughties style minimal that's big on druggy elements plus those pitch shifted vocals (a la Marc Houle) are a worthy addition. On the flip, "Get Back" is a funky electro house jam with a buzzy synth lead and bumpy bassline over its tight groove, plus those subtle disco influences thrown in for good measure work a treat. The remix by Japanese guy in Berlin, Tomoki Tamura, is the real winner on there though. Here he takes the track into reductionist afterhours territory, with all its dusty and sparsely hypnotic elements working in harmony.

The new Ukrainian hero of rolling and funky minimal is back under yet another alias (and imprint) and he's already up to number four. "Track 1" on the A side is built for peak time headrushes on the dancefloors of Concrete and Hoppetosse. Expect this one to de destroying crowds of the underground this Summer! The B side offering is a bit more stripped; the fierce bass supported by some swirling and hypnotic pads on this surefire DJ tool that'll make even Ion Ludwig step up his game!

Steve O'Sullivan - "24 Bars Per Day" (6:29)
Cesar Merveille - "Friends" (7:54)

Review: French veteran David K serves up some fantastic remixes on Tone Series, which he's run with Edouard Morin since 2016. It brings together the idea of interdependence between music and design: what colour follows on from music and, in return, which musicality comes out of a colour. This edition comes with some remixes by some right legends of the scene. Mosaic boss Steve O'Sullivan serves up quite a surpsie on his funky, sexy, swing-fuelled rendtion that'd make even Varhat or Mulen step up their game. On the flip, fellow Frenchman Cesar Merveille (Roche Madame) serves up a sweet take on "Friends" which is a bumped-up and glitched out minimal/tech-house version that's perfect for the afterhours.

Review: Berlin tech house heavyweights team up here on 'You Are Safe' a collaboration between &ME, Adam Port and Rampa on their Keinemusik imprint. The city natives hand in a collection of deep and evocative cuts, that are brought to life by some exceptional studio engineering, sitting somewhere between the sleek late night grooves of local imprint Souvenir as much as it does Innervisions with its melodic and futurist edge. Highlights on here include the hi-tech soul of "Civilist" calling to mind the sonic grooves of Toto Chiavetta or Ame, the sultry r'n'b of "Up & Down" featuring London songstress Chiara Noriko or the slinky moodlighting of "Bumper" featuring frequent collaborator Nomi Ruiz of Hercules & Love Affair fame. Keinemusik came to life in 2009, naming an existing friendship linked by the interests of six members - five DJs and one graphic designer/painter. Five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew.

Semien Terara (12")

Abdulla Rashim Sweden

Cat: ARR 004. Rel: 13 Mar 13

Semien Terara 1
Semien Terara 2
Semien Terara 3

Review: Most recently seen appearing on the second installment of Concrete's excellent Textures series, the man like Abdulla Rashim returns with a fourth infrequent transmission on his eponymous label. Still quite the mystery despite appearances on Semantica, Prologue and Studio Barnhus, this element of mystique hasn't handicapped Rashim's rise to prominence as one of the finer exponent of abstract, hypnotising techno characterised by deep textures and pulsating rhythms. The three tracks on this Semien Terara EP mark a further development in Rashim's sound, appearing strangely understated on first listen, but their production intricacies really come to light on a booming soundsystem.
