Review: After his own Children Of Tomorrow label, Soma is fast becoming the default platform for Arnaud Le Texier. On Elements, he shows why Slam's imprint keeps releasing his music. The title track is a hypnotic roller, with ghostly synths woven into the tribal drums. "Polarisation" is more visceral, with Le Texier fusing noisy riffs with utilitarian hi hats and a driving rhythm. "Assign" maintains this intensity level as he drops a bruising drum track, while the ironically named "Be Gentle" follows a similar path. Building on the approach used on "Assign", he copper-fastens nickel-plated percussion to the driving rhythm, rounding off this release in fine, banging style.

Review: Arnaud Le Texier is on a roll, releasing crafty tough techno with his own distinctive edge. The latest outing on his own Children Of Tomorrow label is a case in point. "PHR4" is a dense groove populated by eerie, high-pitched sound effects - like Mike Parker jamming with Ben Sims. On the title track, the French producer continues in this vein; led by stomping kicks and steely claps, these elements provide the basis for a cacophony of hypnotic tones and textures. In contrast, "Swept" is a stripped back, minimal techno track; powered by surging chords and insistent bleeps, it rounds out this compelling EP.

Review: Next up on Children of Tomorrow is label boss Arnaud Le Texier with a hard-hitting dance floor EP. "Demon" is powered by tough tribal drums and a rolling rhythm, with Le Texier augmenting the arrangement with relentless filters. This approach ensures that the end result is a lean and impactful club techno track. "Chunks" is a different proposition, and derives its inspiration from the 90s Birmingham sound, with noisy metallic rhythms and visceral, grimy kicks ratcheting up the release's intensity levels. Rounding off the EP is "Yellowcake", where Le Texier drops solid kicks, which act as the backdrop for insistent analogue tones and razor-sharp thunder claps.

Review: Children Of Tomorrow is a label managed by London-based Arnaud Le Texier and Emmanuel Ternois, who have a shared passion for techno lasting over 30 years. The gems showcased on this latest label compilation are not limited to: the pummelling cyclicality of Antonio De Angelis' "Level", the seething atmosphere of Casual Treatment's "Uncertain Present", or Ian Axide's mental acid trip "Theory". It's important as well to mention Michel Lauriola who channels that classic Downwards aesthetic on "Point of Disorder" and Stephen Mahoney closing it out with the old-school, DJ Rush vibe of "Subtract".

Review: French techno legend Arnaud Le Texier adds to an emphatic 2020 with a return to his Children Of Tomorrow label. Berghain may be lockdown as this is written but its sound lives on through the banging warehouse sonics of peak time beast "Jersey" while the aptly titled "Drums" - full of distortion, detuned hats and fluttering riffs - booms with funk and flux. Workout techno. Gnarly acid lines in "Impact" conjure up visions of that classic rave scene in Blade with the title track here heavy on a percussion loop with its 909s drum machine mechanisms sequenced at full tilt. In Arnaud we trust.

Review: With releases from Zadig, Samuli Kemppi and Terrence Dixon, Children Of Tomorrow has provided a platform for some of techno's most experimental artists. As Sense makes clear, Arnaud Le Texier, the label owner, also belongs to that elite group. "Wrong Planet" starts the release with eerie ambience, before "4 FM" unfolds over a low-key, pulsating groove. On the title track, the French producer picks up the pace to drop a hypnotic, minimal rhythm track, while on "Antidote", and the claustrophobic "Project C", Le Texier creates a dense, mangled dance floor track full of dank low end tones and warped percussion.

Review: It's been interesting to see Le Texier's gradual shift towards purist techno and "Valiant", the first track on this release, could be a Jeff Mills composition. Over gargantuan kicks, he lays down a bleepy sequence that moves up and down the tonal scale. Oscar Mulero's remix is typical of the Spanish producer's sound, with broken beats underscoring a dramatic, building filter that cover the original's bleeps in a dense cloud. "Divergent" sees Le Texier deliver a more intense version of 90s techno and its distorted kicks and merciless claps sound more like Luke Slater than Mills. Mike Storm's ravey take on "Divergent" completes this flawless underground release.

Review: French producer Le Texier has released a variety of material on a dizzying array of labels, but for this EP he settles on tough, purist techno. "Catharsis" sets the tone for the release, a heavy banging workout, underpinned by tough drums and jarring electronic riffs. "Baphomet (Outro)" which follows merely consists of electronic noise, but the remix from Aiken puts it back on the dance floor as shrieking riffs and hissing percussive riffs jolts it back towards the dance floor. Irish producer Lee Holman provides the release highlight though, turning "Baphomet" into a tough, bleepy groove powered by howling analogue riffs and rasping percussion.

Review: Antonio De Angelis and Arnaud Le Texier's collaboration yields a killer pure techno release. The title track features that well-worn but effective combination of surging chords and driving hi hats, but the production is so effortless that it stands apart. The same can be said about "Freak Lip". Tougher and more percussive than the title track, the duo use dubby basslines and insistent Morse Code bleeps to create a heads-down Millsian affair. "Leading" is cut from a similar cloth, but is more grainy and frenetic, while the remixes come from Antigone and ROD. The former is a pacy affair, while on the latter, the Dutch producer drops a drum-heavy, percussive workout.

Review: Drafting in some of their regular co-conspirators, pan-European techno and electronica outfit EPM have stitched together this compilation packed full of dark and punchy dancefloor bombs. Dirt Crew are in fine form with the measured funk of "Glance", while Carl Taylor dishes out an all-out Detroit assault that leans heavy on tinned strings and lashings of emotion. Arnaud Le Texier delivers one of the highlights with his more contemplative and intricate electronica, working a vast array of details into a crisp slice of leftfield techno. For a sturdy spread of tough beats with a UK tint, there's plenty to sink your teeth into here.
