Review: Following releases this year on Token and Binar, Border One returns to his self-titled label. While Weaving Shadows delivers the kind of tough, linear techno that this project is known for, it also yields a surprise. The title track unravels at a slow pace. Peppered with insistent bleeps and led by tribal drums, it spotlights a new side to his sound. In contrast, "Gazing Eye" is led by a driving rhythm and features woozy synths that hang over the arrangement. "Looming From Afar" resounds to firing claps and a jagged, steely rhythm, while he opts for a slightly different approach with "Web Of Deceit". Based on a similar, driving backdrop as "Looming..." it's shot through with tripped out tones that sound somewhere between Plastikman and Mike Parker.

Review: The Slovenian label Cogo returns with another exploration of techno on "Various Artists - VA.02," a compilation showcasing the label's dedication to driving techno forward featuring heavy hitters Jeroen Search, Border One, ORBE, and Tonske . Expect driving, bass-heavy cuts perfect for peak-time club moments, alongside more atmospheric and hypnotic tracks for deeper dives. The journey begins with Jeroen Search's "Observer," a minimalist masterpiece. A simple yet polyrhythmic synth and kick duo lays the foundation, slowly building with swirling pads. Border One follows with "Contour," maintaining the minimalist aesthetic of the release while ORBE's "Wolheim" shift gears slightly, with groove elements and shimmering synth hits. Then Tonske comes up with "Droid," a piece that conjures imagery of interstellar travel through peripheral synth blips, resembling passing stars. Lucky for us, the digital release includes exclusive Tonske remixes of Border One's "Contour" and ORBE's "Wolheim" to complete this exploration of the depths of hypnotic techno.

Review: Border One returns to SK_Eleven after 2020's Restless. With a focus on lean, club-focused rhythms, Inner Sight is sure to appeal to discerning techno DJs. "Third Vision" is based on a driving rhythm, with Border One layering visceral textures against this backdrop. "Optical Void" ventures down a more hypnotic path. Led by an insistent, nagging groove and rasping percussion, droning synths lend it a tripped-out sensibility. Border One heads in a different direction for "Mind's Eye". Here, dense, swinging drums and a bruising rhythm prevail. Keeping the audience guessing, "Inner Sight" is a tweaked, acidic workout that teems with insistent hi hats.

Review: Border One follows last year's Cyclone release on Token with another killer EP. While there is a focus on the harder end of techno, he still manages to inject a funky sensibility into each track. The title track sees him opt for a lean approach. Powered by a driving minimal rhythm and razor sharp percussion, these elements provide the back drop for Border One to factor in eerie synth textures. "Radiant" has a more esoteric sensibility, with Border One fusing droning textures with a slamming groove. "Transmute" sees him revert to a stripped back approach, with a focus on looped analogue riffs and a driving, insistent rhythm. That focus continues with "Prism" - characterised by a jacking sensibility, its doubled up clap and yelping tones are reminiscent of the Frozen Border/Horizontal Ground sound.

Review: After a succession of releases for Token and Voltage, Border One returns to his own imprint. Morph ploughs a similar furrow as the Frozen Border/Horizontal Ground stable, offering a range of different approaches to the minimal techno sound. On "Altered State" and "Regenerate", it takes the form of angular rhythms and sheet metal percussion. Meanwhile, on the title track, Border One focuses on a more visceral approach, with a buzzsaw bass unravelling over dubby drums. Best of all though is Border One's interpretation of minimal's more esoteric side - as evidenced on the melancholic synths and accompanying rhythmic swagger of "Nocturnal Eye".

Review: Based in Buenos Aires but taking a global view, for its latest release SRIE serves up an excellent, diverse compilation. Jonas Kopp's "Dyslexic" is a nocturnal affair, powered by a raw metallic rhythm and rough kicks, while on "Shadow Weaver", Echelon serves up an equally dystopian take on the form, with eerie riffs unravelling over a spiky rhythm. In stark contrast, there are more understated tracks like Temudo's dubbed out "Out of Place" and the purring bass and hypnotic synths of Linear System's "Applied Physics". There are also some fine abstract tracks included here, with the bleak, gurgling bass of Pulso's "The Outsider" and the dark tones of Translate's "Synaptic Area" really impressing.

Review: Token has traditionally maintained a tightly-knit roster, but on this compilation it welcomes new producers to the fold. Nastia Riegel's "Pray" kick-starts Fuga with dreamy, dubbed-out techno, while Stefan Vincent's "Fever Dream" paints a hypnotic, minimal picture. On "Biomorph", Border One - who is best known for his releases on Wolfskuil - delivers a grimy, bass-heavy groove, while Dold's "My Homework Ate My Dog" and PTTRN's "Contempt/Suggest 6" are the kind of high-paced but intricate techno tracks that the Belgian label has helped to pioneer. Rounding off this fine compilation are the discordant tones of Ribe's "The Cause" and Linkan Ray's bleep-heavy "Introspective Vision".

Review: The latest release on Par Grindvik's long-running label is a diverse techno record. First up is
Tor Lowkrantz aka Mighty Thor with "All The Shadows", a pumping, bleep-heavy track that fuses the hypnotic Sandwell sound with a groovy undercurrent. DJ Redo's "Barrel of Fish" is a more abstract affair, with clattering percussion driving a dense, stop-start groove. The long-serving German producer Savas Pascalidis steers the release back to the dance floor with the building chords and rolling rhythm of "Synergy", but unpredictably, the release ends with the stripped back, understated minimal house of Border One's "Operate".
