Clouds At Juno Download

Review: A major talent that's been snapped up by Tiga's Turbo label after releases on Southern Fried and Blood Music, the long-awaited Numbers EP has finally dropped and it's a wonked-out techno gem with support from Boys Noize, Fake Blood, Proxy and Annie Mac. The Scottish duo recall Tiga's own ZZT version of "Lower State of Consciousness" on the title tune, while "Sucker" begins with a severely beat-mashed vocal before elegantly dropping into a fierce, dry techno kick replete with subtle yet outstanding bass sounds. "Fibre" is a stripped-down succession of killing acid rises, while "Been Warned" is horror-tech of the finest, edgiest kind.

Review: Seriously incredible techno goodness from Scottish outfit Clouds who drop a grand new set of beats for Twin Turbo that have already had the tip o' the hat from Erol Alkan and (of course) Turbo boss Tiga. Keeping the balance between overblown bass channels and crisp, dry and hugely rumpshaking percussion, "Matter" is a huge highlight, as is the slightly more tropical handrum-fest that is "Articles", which also gets an enormous hypnagogic remake by Ado here too. With the minimal dubby acid of "Mr Pink" rounding off the release, this is simply essential Turbo fuel.
