Mark Henning & Den At Juno Download

Review: Mark Henning returns to esteemed Cologne imprint Trapez for "La Galaxia Llorona", his first release of 2010 in conjunction with 31337 Records artiste Den. The title track is deeply emotive techno at it's finest as the duo layer a succession of careening melodies atop a simple percussive groove. Taking its cue from the title "Close Encounters Of The Deep Kind" lays futuristic patterns atop shimmering chords submerged beneath liquid Detroit atmospherics. Eccentric London producer Sebastian Russell opts for a deeply melodic house take on "La Galaxia Llorona" with the addition of retina-burning synth workouts. To round things off hotly tipped Ed Davenport pays homage to his adopted home of Berlin with a Basic Channel-esque bass driven groover.
