Review: Techno heavyweights Tiga and Matthew Dear team up again for the first time since 2013's massive anthem "Let's Go Dancing". According to Tiga the Turbo chief "This Is a Dream' is 'an epic poem, an immunity passport to the boundless dimensions that lay beyond the veil of slow wave sleep'. A tunneling and low-slung trip in its original format, it gets some killer reworks here by some of the scene's current luminaries. The ever impressive Terr works her sonic magic once again with a ravey indie-dance perspective, while Russian Nocow delivers two hard hitting and surefire remixes.
Review: Earlier in 2017, the third collaboration between famed North American producers Tiga and Audion came in the form of the Nightclub EP, which saw the duo take on the challenge of executing harder techno sounds - to reflect even harder times facing the world at present. To hammer that message home, they've drafted the big guns to make y'all listen and learn! The masked one Redshape steps up to the plate first and delivers a stomping Detroit rave rendition. Dutch electro fiend Dexter delivers a wonky analogue funk attack that has earned his and Steffi's Klakson imprint much respect over the years. We then go from central European party sounds to remixes with The White Isle more in mind: techno's dark lord Dubfire delivers a rolling, tunnelling and strobe-lit rendition. Next rising South American star ANNA delivers a hard hitting peak time rendition that has earned her releases on Tronik and Terminal M.
Review: Tiga teams up with Matthew Dear's Audion project for a third release. Supposedly inspired by life in 'rough times', this EP is a no-nonsense, gritty affair. "Stabbed in the Back" resounds to rough kicks, brittle percussion and the kind of nightmarish stabs that were common during hardcore's heyday. "Pink Bells" is not as visceral, but it resounds to a rolling, filtered groove, hypnotic, chiming bells that weave in and out of the arrangement and an occasional shrieking siren. "Non Stop" sees the pair drop the tempo (and intensity levels) to deliver a shaky, minimal house track, but even here their bleak vision of the world is audible in the detuned synth riff that echoes across its rickety drums.
