Whatever anyone was expecting from Shed's 50Weapons debut, it seems fairly likely that nobody thought it was going to be quite like this. While some may have expected it to be similar to the floor ready sounds of his Equalized or Wax releases, he's created something completely unique; rather than boom, the rhythm of "The Praetorian" pulsates, taking a metronomic, sand-dry snare and combining it with an undulating pad melody with a distinctly dreamy quality. "RQ-170" meanwhile ticks along with the head-nodding rhythm of dubstep, utilising bass frequencies almost below the range of hearing, while a snarling rasp burrows through the track's centre. If you were ever in any doubt that Shed was one of techno's best producers, these mind-bending productions provide no greater proof that the man has ideas far beyond what most of his peers think the genre should be.

It's amazing how the passage of time clouds memories and judgment. Biokinetics was originally released on Basic Channel sub-label Chain Reaction back in 1996 and was the first long player on that imprint. Chain Reaction, like its mother label, is viewed as the originator for dub techno, yet as Thomas Koner and Andy Mellwig's debut as Porter Ricks long-player reminds us, its expression and impact were much wider than that. It explains why the decision by ambient / experimental label Type to reissue this album is an unsurprising one and its reappearance serves as a reminder why sixteen years later, Biokinetics still resonates. Simply stunning.

Itokim proves that he is a master of deep techno composition. "Awakening" is a seductive, spaced out affair, playing on the evocative synths of Carl Craig and the warbling electronic melodies of B12 and As One as Itokim fashions a stop-start undulating rhythm. The two versions of "Tendo" see the Japanese producer focus on the dance floor, with rolling, snaking pulses and elongated, dreamy breakdowns underscoring liquid trance melodies and swirling pads. However, Itokim clearly does not want to be seen as merely another deep techno producer and on "Yin-Yang", he opts for a laid back approach, with dubby beats combined with jazzed out piano keys.
