Review: Staying true to its mandate of releasing killer underground techno, Dynamic Reflection drops this diverse compilation. The Plant Worker & DIAPO's "Grogrott" and RNGD's "Radiation" are both stripped back, linear grooves, while contributions from Deas and the Linear System's hypnotic tonal "Void Perspective" represent a deeper side to the Dynamic Reflection canon. Pyramidal Decode raises the tempo - and intensity level - on the cavernous "Optical Noise", where doubled-up claps underpin dubby builds. There is a different aesthetic at play on the muddy bass and dense kicks of Gabriel D'Or & Bordoy's "G13", while Korben Nice represents the classic Dynamic Reflection techno sound with the bruising, percussion and coruscating filters of "Orchestra".
Review: Ostensibly a response to techno being 'in such a sorry and predictable state', Full Pupp's latest compilation goes off in a number of wonderfully captivating tangents. Label owner Prins Thomas' "Mere Apokalypso" is a tripped-out groove, while his take on Synk's "Tool Mix" is an acid-laced chugger. In contrast, JaddajaddaPlay's "Bird No Bird" goes down a percussive route. Despite the title, techno does make an appearance. Blackbelt Engh Rhythm Combo's "Frydenlyn" is a rolling tribal affair, while trance influences bubble to the surface on Christian Engh's dubbed out "Khonsu" and Karolinski's high-paced, melodic "Slutt A Mase Eg Har Ikkje Spelt Pa Ei Veke".
Review: Manda Moor and Sirus Hood's Mood Child imprint unleashes Gangsta Moods, a VA compilation so on the edge it verges on the illicit. Opening with Chicago House legend DJ Sneak's "Lower Level", the album sets a high bar with its iconic rolling groove. Sirus Hood and Gui Wittckind deliver a collaborative powerhouse with "HOT!", while De Angelis makes a striking label debut with "FKING INC." delving into deep grooves and industry truths. SAMIR and INDECK team up for the gritty "MTFKS", Buogo returns with the deeper "Angle", and Sunday Noise and Ben Finx blow up the dance floor with "Get It For Me". A Gangsta Moods is a tour de force and solid showing of the diverse talent within the Mood Child roster.
