Back Catalogue

Review: With releases on Kanzleramt, Alexander Kowalski predated the current wave of purist techno emanating from his home country, Germany, by a decade. Now the veteran is back to show the new school how to craft bass-heavy club tracks. "Dricksen" is an epic affair, with chords billowing and blustering and dramatic strings soaring over stomping beats and a tearing bassline. The Cassegrain mix takes the track down a few notches in intensity and sees swirling textures and metallic beats prevailing, while D_Func's 'Hive Wildpitch' mix remains true to the original; with a focus on heavy filters and thunderous claps, it's enough to make all the big names re-appraise their work.
