Review: When it comes to hypnotic club techno, Sciahri's Sublunar is one of the finest modern proponents. On the label's latest compilation, it shows why it enjoys this reputation. Temudo's "Ilum" is led by tough drums and murky chords, with Neel favouring a similar, albeit more chugging approach for "Follow Me". At times, the compilation shifts towards a more ethereal sound - it's audible on Kaiser's evocative "Fearless Attitude" and Troy's "Awakening", which follows a stripped back rhythm that teems with mysterious, ghostly textures. But even when some of the contributors deliver peak-time material, the tracks still have depth, as the frosty rolling groove of Juri Heidemann's "Roger" so ably demonstrates.

Review: Following 2022's Time In Motion, Cirkle returns to SK_eleven. With a broad dance floor focus, this four-tracker showcases his ability to craft distinctive, impactful techno. The title track resounds to woozy synth stabs and insistent claps, unfolding over a rolling groove. It sounds like a near perfect hybrid of Swedish loop techno and Detroit minimalism. Remaining in minimal techno territory, "Lunar Orbit" is a perfectly weighted, pared back track, while Cirkle explores a more visceral interpretation of this sound with the bruising, analogue groove of "Evolving". He maintains the same energy level on "Quantum Shift", where dubbed out sound scapes unfold over a rolling rhythm.

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: Dutch imprint Float has decided to celebrate five years in business with two split releases. This second volume starts with the visceral, spiky minimalism of Sleeparchive's "Recreant", with the revered producer substituting tonal bleeps for coruscating percussion. On "Ruffle", label owners Twr72 drop a firing, tribal banger, while Eric Fetcher goes deeper on "Vein". Forsaking the straight dance floor approach in favour of frosty synths and rickety electro drums, it provides some relief before Jeroen Search delivers the lean, streamlined Robert Hood-style techno of "Radaris" and Sev Dah brings this second instalment of the label's fifth anniversary celebrations to a close with the visceral, crunchy rhythm of "Izolacija".

Review: Float is the imprint for Dutch duo TWR72, and since its inception a few years ago, they have released material by underground acts like Tensal and Sleeparchive. However, this latest release is probably Float's biggest coup so far as it sees them secure the services of Mike Parker. On "Internalized Action", Parker surprises with a slowed down, teased out take on his hypnotic sound, but on the title track, he reverts to type. "Metamora" is an intense banger, centring on those woozy tones that the US producer has made his own. On the flip side, Cirkle contributes the rolling "Oblate Spheroid" and the atmospheric, tunnelling "Cygnus", but it's all about Parker here.
