Review: For the seventh release on their ever-impressive label, the Den Haag "militia" behind BAKK has turned to Bronze Teeth, the Diagonal-affiliated collaboration between L/F/D/M and former Factory Floor man Dominic Butler. While firmly rooted in pulsating techno, the latter man's industrial influences can be heard throughout. "Accidental Myiasis" delivers wonky vocal snippets, raw electronics and a relentlessly stuttering analogue rhythm, while "Cold Meets" sees the duo combining live percussion and metronomic drum machine hits with distorted, Cabaret Voltaire style electronics. A fine EP closes with "Marmalade", a thrillingly dark and intense fusion of wild acid lines, thumping techno drums and wayward modular electronics.
Review: London clubbing institution KAOS now presents its label arm, Khemia Records, with this debut featuring the legendary French coldwave icon Laurent Prot aka In Aeternam Vale. Since Minimal Wave revived Prot's career, the guy has been unstoppable and "La Grille" is testament to this. A pounding techno cut with the kind of well perfected cyclical precision that makes the very best of DJ tools. Speaking of functional techno, Richard 'LFDM' Smith and Dominic Butler return as Bronze Teeth. Mind you, "Rude Movements" starts off sounding like Cabaret Voltaire with its rusty and vintage flair before evolving into a harsh and bass driven modern industrial cut: serious attitude on this one.
