Review: Angelo Mele will do Affin's techno credentials no harm. The title track is a tough techno affair, its heavy claps and dramatic chords underscored by a wall of hissing percussion and a dark, churning bassline. The Danilo Schneider take focuses more on a contemporary flavour, with tribal drums powering the loose groove and a sweeping filter building and building. Mele also impresses on "Room After"; deep keys and dramatic chords lend the arrangement an epic touch, but without losing any of its dance floor dynamism. Think a more melodic version of Spain's Psyk and you're close to the direction Mele is pushing in.

Dax J - "New Beginnings" - (6:47) 125 BPM
from $1.49
Review: This German label has won its reputation by straddling the house/techno divide, but there is no such ambiguity on Chosen 3. Focusing heavily on harder sounds, it opens with Rebekah's remix of Chris Page's "Derailleur", a steamrolling, fist-pumping affair, littered with belligerent chord stabs. Advanced Human's "Satellite Club" is in a similar vein, its dark drums and soldered iron riffs sounding similar to Jeff Mills. The Jeroen Search take on Egor Boss' "Inversion 2.2" isn't short of high-paced thrills either, and its doubled up claps and tracky rhythm provide a hard-edged basis for Boss' ghostly synths; the release highlight however is Dax J's "New Beginnings", a chord-heavy groove that throbs and filters to infinity.

Oxo 1 - (8:14) 128 BPM

Review: This Danish DJ/producer has been one of the key names in European minimalism, but Oxo sees him change tack, with devastating results. "Oxo 1" revolves around a massive stepping rhythm, its eerie chords and haunting vocal samples swept along by its dense groove. "Oxo 2" sees Bateman further explore this route, but on this occasion the beats are straighter and more slamming and the brooding chords hover over a series of percussive ticks and whirrs. "Oxo 3" is deeper, with Bateman uniting a croaking vocal with jittery percussion, while the Woo York take on "Oxo 2" is tearing and aggressive, yet it somehow finds the space to include the eerie chords from the original track.

Review: The German label delivers its most purist techno record yet with Module. The title track is a slamming, almost claustrophobic affair, lent some sense of light thanks to its surging chords. Roberto's take on "Module" serves to heighten the interplay between these elements with its dark, scuffled beats and insistent percussion prevailing over the chords, making for a jarring sound. Advanced Human explores dub techno on "Satellite State", but with a difference as the beats are pushed to the point of distortion as the reverb filters and ebbs. Finally, "Satellite Club" features loose, organic drums, but the end result is more tracky and upfront than "State".

Review: This German label originally made its mark as a house imprint, but increasingly, it has moved into techno circles - and Chosen 2 continues down that path. Egor Boss's "Inversion 2.1" is an impressive stab at Berlin techno, its dense rhythm housing insistent bleeps, eerie synths and a screeching vocal sample. Jeroen Search's take on Ad.lib & Silvision's "Collide" ventures into industrial territories, with its razor-sharp percussion and stepping rhythm, as does Roberto's "Going Nowhere Fast", where reverberating drums unfold over heavy broken beats. Affin have also catered for the peak time audience, with Reggie van Oers's "Untitled x 2" led by a pumping groove and insistent chord stabs.

Review: Affin continues to impress by operating at the edge of house and techno, and Kabiko is more of the same. The title track is house music at its most out there; shaking castanets and a pitched down vocal intoning phrases like 'house music' and 'here we go again' accompany woozy, druggy chords to a tripped out climax. "Doctor Says" sees Hunter come back down to earth with a drummy, slamming groove that is in line with Affin's techno leanings. However, it seems that house music is on the menu for this release and "The Clown Is Down", with its mixture of forceful bass and jazzy keys, is just right for deep house heads.

Review: The German label's recent compilations have ensured that they are at the forefront of house and techno, and this remix collection is no exception. Clark Davis and Egal 3 turn tracks by Little Fritter and Dirty Culture into stripped back, minimal house workouts, reminiscent of Force Inc at its finest. Meanwhile, Mattias Fridell drops an insisent, dubby techno take on Chris Page's "Used", replete with insistent bleeps, and Advanced Human delivers a muddy bass-led peak time take on Ad.Lib & Silvision. Best of all though is the chiming groove and shiny synths of Danilo Schneider's reshape of James Hunter's "Change of Heart".

Review: Affin continues its transition from house to deepest techno on Tremor. The title track revolves around a throbbing, dubby bass, ticking percussion and wave upon wave of building chords. Niereich's remix pushes the track closer to a contemporary Berlin sound, its stepping rhythms and chiming bells coming across like a mixture of Shed's Equalized project and Efdemin. Paul Boex's version is surprisingly mellow, given his background with Dynamic Reflection, and it's based on dubby beats and mellow, wispy chords. Meanwhile, Dax J does his bit to reaccquant listeners with 90s techno, and on the churning chords of "New Beginnings", he sounds like Dave Clarke at his most bombastic.

Review: Affin has established itself as one of Europe's the best house and techno labels, and listening to Fractals 2, it's not hard to hear why. From the tracky, drum-heavy contributions from Little Fritter and Dirty Culture to the tougher, rolling "Broken Brick" by Stefano Esposito, this compilation covers the grey area between house and techno with style, However, the real highlights here are the techno-oriented cuts. From the skipping dub techno of Mattias Fridell's "With Particular Reference" or Brendon Moeller's glitchy take on Deepchild as the Echologist and the building chords and soaring, ominous bass of Roberto's "Flight Path" and Jeroen Search's raw, bleeping "Interference Pattern", this is techno of the highest quality.

Review: This Russian producer has been bubbling under for a few years, but hopefully Inversion 2 will help him to gain recognition in what is an intensely competitive scene. "2.1" is a breaking number housing eerie synths, heavy claps and bleak acidic undercurrents. By contrast, "2.2" is far more straightforward - this time the bleeps are underpinned by a tunnelling, pulsing rhythm, the mood of austerity offset somewhat by dreamy chords as the track reaches its denouement. There is no such concession on the Jeroen Search remix, with spiky, metallic claps providing the basis for a tight club groove, but Boss allows some light to shine once again on "2.3", which is anchored by a droning, Sandwell-style bass.

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: Affin does a fine job representing tough techno on Chosen. Samuel Session's take on Roberto's "The Land Of The Midnight Sun" is an anthem in waiting, its murderous bass supporting an insistent ringing bell and visceral percussion. The same could be said of Chemie's "Entropy", where waves of chords build over a stomping backing. This split release isn't solely concerned with the peak time however, and Joachim Spieth's take on Deepchild's "Glitches Ain't Shit" sees stripped back rhythms and hissing percussion splutter their way along to the sound of melodic climaxes. Truncate is also in a more pensive than usual mood and the shards of dissected drums that populate "1" show that he too has an experimental side.

Review: Many producers have returned to deep house, but in the case of Dirty Culture, it sounds like they have embraced the garage sound of New York. "After" has an irresistible shuffle to it, with the robust steely drums reminiscent of Todd Edwards and the filtered chord breakdown certain to remind older listeners of the time during the late 90s when UK house and garage was a blurry, indistinct mass. "Dusty Girls" has a more contemporary flavour, as wood block drums support a searing acid line, and the remixes, by Sean Danke and Clark Davis, retain this modern day feel, with glitchy percussion and lithe, minimal rhythms prevailing.

Review: Tidy release here from Stefano Esposito, who opts for a cavernous tunnelling groove on the aptly titled "Deep In The Dark". The original cut offers an atmospheric intro full of reverb-laden atmospherics before dropping into a pleasing beefy kick drum-led late night roller. The "Other Version" is more stripped back and toolish, with an oscillating synth line hanging above the beat and endowing it with a sense of pregnant doom. The Dirty Culture remix adds a vocal and some skip to the drums for a more techy excursion. Quality all round.

Review: Acids is reminiscent of an older era in German techno, when producers like Mike Ink and Thomas Heckmann reigned supreme and distorted kick drums were the order of the day. For starters, it's faster than most minimal releases, with both the title track and "Boric" clocking in at almost 130bpm. Tempos aside, it's the loose and rough acid lines, visceral claps and throbbing, distorted rhythms that really set it apart and remind the listener of a time when Sven Vath was more menacing than a Slipknot mosh pit. "Nitric", by contrast sounds almost restrained with its wired 303s cruising at close to 125bpm.

Review: Joachim Spieth shows that dub techno is an integral part of the German psyche on Sensualized. "Sensual" contains all those elements that Chain Reaction and Basic Channel pioneered - dubby beats, cavernous chords and epic basslines, but it's testament to Spieth's skills that it doesn't sound staid. The remixers also do a fine job of reshaping "Sensual". Jamal Moulay's take features harder beats and a more upfront, rolling groove, while Reggy van Oers pushes in the opposite direction, with dreamy chords unravelling over a languid groove. Best of all though is Brendon Moeller's take, where an eerie organ riff and swelling chords combine for an arrangement that's very much in the spirit of Maurizio.

Review: Like Superpitcher, James Hunter has an unerring knack for marrying the most sensuous musical elements with gentle dance floor nous. In this instance it's a subtle woodwind progression wrapping itself around understated beats as jazzy keys plink away seductively. "Stay Between The Lines" achieves a similar effect, albeit by different means. There, dubby beats and a sassy rhythm support reflective keys, and Daniko Schneider matches these moods with a great evrson of "Heart". Like the original version, jazzy keys weave in and out of the arrangement but on this version the groove is more rolling and club-friendly. Siz Da's take is also distinctive but pushes in the opposite direction as a plaintive guitar is strummed over clipped beats.

Review: Fresh from releasing their 100 compilation, Affin delivers another record that is sure to prove to be attention-catching. The title track is an anthem in waiting, its stuttering synth line looped in a similar way to Carl Craig's big room approach. Unsurprisingly, it also gradually builds into an epic climax. Reggy Van Oers's take is less upfront and the synths sound more evocative, but the end result is more reflective, favouring a constant, steady arrangement instead of going for the jugular. Przezdziecki also proves that he's not a one-trick pony on "You Say Tonight", where a shuffling house rhythm is littered with discordant bleeps, tonal stabs and an amusing German vocal.

Review: This compilation spans a range of sounds, but is testament to the fact that despite its diversity, Affin has always been a byword for quality underground dance music. From the stepping, understated "Minus One" by Truncate to the woodwind-led house of "Stalking You" by James Hunter and the gorgeous, jazzy, filtered groove of Jamal Moulay's "Le Push", 100 does a lot to showcase the label's penchant for deep dance music. Joachim Spieth's "Sensual" boasts hypnotic Basic Channel-style chords, but the beats are tougher and denser. Reggy Van Oers's "Centipede" veers further down this chord-driven, dubby techno path and Affin also celebrates the harder end of techno with the utilitarian, Berghain-influenced linear sound of Chemie & Ian Kran's "Nucleated Thought".
