Review: Italian producer Ascion has made his mark with releases on Modularz, Black Sun and Deep Sound Channel, but he has chosen his own label, Repitch, to release his debut album on. Joy Dexon Club is by no means an easy listen and early on, Ascion hits the listener with the intense gabba of "Body Party Shop" and the dense, gnarled broken beats of "Piwert". That said, there is some method to Ascion's madness. "Into the Grind" makes the move from acid-laced break beats to heads-down kicks, "Nein!" is all dense drums and alien frequencies while "Spectral Twist" is a slowed-down abstract affair.

Review: It's hard to believe that Pasquale Ascione is only in his late twenties, given how accomplished his productions sound. This release on Shipwrec spin-off Deep Sound Channel is a case in point. "Fraxtile" is a killer, big room techno affair, its haunting chord builds reminiscent of Sterac tracks like "Primus". At the other end of the spectrum, there's the gentle, early-Autechre ambience of "Anhatolia". "Doubledpang" sees him drop a rough, acid-laced peak time track. The release also strays into break beat techno; with the exception of Shed, or in its harder form, Regis, it's not a sound that has been mined effectively, but Acion's robust beats and rhythms on "Cybbar" and "Illusorium" ensures his contributions need to be valued.

Review: Next up on Modularz, ever-prolific label boss Developer has invited former guest Ascion back to contribute to a new split EP. Of course with Developer you always know where you stand, and sure enough the techno comes focused and functional on "Power Dynamics" where a minimum of elements is needed to stamp out an instructive techno command. "Defined By Gravity" is a busier affair with its off-key synth lines, but the beats stay right on course. Ascion however has a fuller sound that embraces bigger dynamics, even on a track as carefully steered as "Wrth 2". "Exaline" makes for the deepest kind of acid techno you could wish for, drowning the 303 in reverb for a wonderfully psychedelic effect.

Review: Creeping ever closer towards their third year of existence, Modularz have remained steadfast in their aesthetic approach, deftly combining the dynamism of straight up techno with an intricately textured approach that has proved enduringly rewarding. Label boss Developer once again features prominently on their tenth entry, contributing four cuts. The expansive bassline to the opening track "Sequence 85" practically consumes you, with "Sequence 88" markedly sparser, allowing the rigid percussion and booming kicks centre stage. "Mover Of The Mercury" meanwhile combines linear, tribal drumming and bleak, distant drones, while "Gaining" is imbued with a surprisingly funky character a la Gesloten Cirkel, as dark synth horns snake around precision drums. The producer's allies put in a fine showing too; last seen on Mote Evolver, Spaniard Psyk adds further balance with the subaqueous dub techno of "Transito", whilst the unknown quantity Rhomb is on electrifying form with the Mike Parker-esque "Reboot". Elyas' "Camberwell" may seem to take its name from one of South London's more picturesque locations, but the slamming techno stabs and granite drums are anything but polite, recalling Shed's Equalized material; Ascion rounds things off with the trippiest cut of the release, as savage waveforms twist themselves around abstract atonal beeps.
