Review:
Mattias Fridell is fast developing a reputation for crafting subsonic techno and Artificial Personality Layer is no exception. Although it is deeper and more introspective, fans of Fridell's layered soundscapes and relentless rhythms will find it rewarding. The title track sees a dubby bass support the interplay between chiming chords and visceral riffs. Meanwhile "Life Recycling Raw" veers into more typical Fridell mode as a churning, rolling groove underscores insistent, one-note stabs and "Fictional Stories" is all panning riffs and insistent chord sequences. Finally, "Attract Inhibitor" sees him move back towards a more introspective approach, with rasping percussion underpinning atmospheric textures.

Review:
This German producer has been steadily making waves with a series of underground releases - but this new EP sees him excel. "Temporal Axis" is a thrilling serving of Berghain-primed techno, its tough dubby beats, sprays of metallic percussion and moody riffs made to order for the Berlin club. "Durandal" is in a similar vein but with less of the urgency as tranced out chords are combined with a chugging groove. "Restrictive Influence" is Fridell's finest moment to date though, with concrete-weight beats solder-ironed to slamming, insistent percussion and a niggling acid undercurrent. Despite its heavy sound, it has all the grace and swagger of a heavyweight champion boxer.

Review:
The closure last year of the Sandwell District has left a gaping void in the droning techno sound - can upcoming artist Mattias Fridell help to plug it with the unwieldy sounding Paradigm Contamination EP? Certainly on "Rhine Maiden", it sounds like the spirit of Function and Regis is present. Over an eerie but forceful bass, Fridell drops a tapestry of bleeps and tonal sounds that is reminiscent of Sandwell at its most menacing. "Klein Point" is heavier and perhaps less immediate as broken beats and a slamming, fractured rhythm supports hissing percussive licks and a chugging filter. But he moves back to esoteric club techno on "Pertaining To The Vintage", where a pulsing bass sweeps along underpinning whooshing atmospheric textures.

Review:
Fridell is one of the more interesting producers to emerge in the wake of Sandwell District, as his sound has an earthier, more sensual quality than the legion of industrial producers. On "Procurators", he proves his worth with a throbbing groove that is supported by a series of dark riffs and resonating bleeps. But Fridell still has some way to go before he can emulate a producer like Samuli Kemppi, who provides a remix of "Procurators". The drums slam even though the rhythm is reduced and tighter, while the Finnish artist turns Fridell's bleeps into the kind of outer space yelps and squelches that would make Juan Atkins proud.

Review:
ESHU presents four radically different interpretations of modern techno. Mattias Fridell's "Denial of all Reality" is the toughest and most zeitgeist-defining, with dark, droning riffs building over a hypnotic, never-ending pulse. By contrast, Tomas Rubeck's "Factions" is a slowed down, mid-tempo groover, its dubby drums and resonating claps lending it a sense of spaciousness. Myles Serge's "EI-C" sees the tempo raised again as the producer makes references to Robert Hood's brand of visceral minimalism. Hissing sprays of percussion are woven over doubled up drums as intensity levels keep building. Imugen Orihasam's "Undefined" marks another stylistic shift and deep, reflective techno ensues, with swirling chords unfolding over a lazy groove.
