Review:
For a label that's best known for putting out 80s-referencing synth pop and electro house, Turbo is doing a fine job to re-establish its techno credentials. In the wake of the label's recent compilation comes this fine, techno-centric remix package. J Tijn turns Gingy & Bordello's "Ausbruch" into a tearing peak-time affair, its coruscating drums and noisy riffs recalling Synewave at its most ferocious. The Locked Groove take on "Panopticon" is also derived from visceral sources, with a searing acid line rising through the arrangement. Kevin McPhee and Cicerio's takes on "Iron & Water" focus on a deeper approach, but don't let that fool you; the McPhee version in particular is an eerie, chord-heavy groove that will slay a peak-time floor.
