ENDLEC 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Endless quickly follows up his first outing on this label back in November 2022 with another: His Kreizuzer EP is another classy contemporary techno on high-octane techno. 'Maniakor' is first out of the blocks with insistent drum loops and groaning industrial hooks that seem to grow ever more menacing. 'Kripnbot' is fired from a machine gun with twisted metal sounds peeling off the groove and some of the best hits we've heard in ages. The closer is a dry, textural techno banger in the form of 'Stolkntek' with more hefty kicks that skate along a factory floor as machines in meltdown pass by in a blur.

Review: The third release on this Italian imprint out of Bologna, which is headed up by Affekt club resident D-Leria and Beat Movement (Love Blast/Blackwater). French electro legend Umwelt brings the manic dystopia (as usual) on the fierce boom and snap of "Blind Submission" while D-Leria brings the madness in similarly retro fashion on the relentless techno stomper "Ignis" which calls to mind the early sounds of Kne' Deep or Pro-Jex. On the flip, the aforementioned Beat Movement serves up the EP's highlight in the form of "90 Degrees" which is Berghain ready, tool techno of the most brooding and nefarious variety. The B side continues on a relentless streak with the powerful onslaught that is "Nighttime Raids" by Greek producer Endlec (MORD/ARTS/Panel Trax) which will appeal to fans of Jeff Mills 'Waveform Transmissions' series from back in the day. Top stuff here. Tip!

Review: RAW France doesn't muck about with this tasty new various artists transparent green 12".
Welt In Scherben one up with the peak time, tripped out delights of 'Faust Im Nacken,' which is an old school teeth grinder. Danilo Incorvaia keeps up the white knuckle ride with 'Seventeen,' with its coarse pads and cantering drums, then Clouds bring rough industrial textures and tortured synths to 'AKW Strange.' Endlec's 'No Mercy' rounds out a high octane EP with a white knuckle ride through strobe lit and rave techno.
