Review: Derek Carr is the gift that keeps on giving. Alongside plenty of fresh new tracks, the esteemed producer keeps on finding magic in his vault of hard drives. This vast new collection of such treasure comes from the Pariter label and are all rare or unreleased tunes made sometime back in the late 90s and early 00s. They explore, in signature Carr fashion, deep and sleek techno with dubby chords, acid leads and plenty of spaced-out atmospheres that still sound as if they have been sent back from the future. Essential.

Allez EP
I Want You - (6:55) 130 BPM
Allez - (5:54) 133 BPM
Review: Derek Carr has been pretty untouchable in the last couple of years. His work in the fields of deep house and deep techno has been consistently innovative and captivating. He takes care of the eighth EP on the Trident label now with more of his serene sound designs and dynamic grooves. 'Allez' heads off into the cosmos with balmy pads and smooth drums then acid lashes about the mix of 'I Want You' which rides a nice tight, clipped, locked-in drum line. Things get more loose and star gazing on 'Revival' while 'Typhoon' closes with playful synth patterns tumbling down over invitingly warm deep house drums.

Arrival
Alaska Blue - (5:29) 130 BPM
Droid World - (6:58) 131 BPM
Review: Derek Carr follows last year's Pursuit series on Pariter with this fine long player for Steve Rutter's FireScope. Veering towards the more introspective end of his catalogue, Arrival sees Carr deliver the kind of melodic, Detroit-inspired techno that he made his name with back in the early 00s. Tracks like "Alaska Blue" and "Anoat System" teem with the kind of warm textures and wiry basslines that prevailed on Carr's early excursions for Trident and Digital Soul, while the atmospheric "Haemoglobin" is soaked in spell-bindingly fragile melodies. He picks up the pace on the "Droid World", but Arrival is really a home-listening album, up there with Aril Brikha's Deeparture In Time.

Spindle - (3:54) 130 BPM
Pegasus - (4:34) 130 BPM
Review: Not all types of techno suits the album format, though that's not an accusation you could level at Derek Carr's particular brand of melodic, sci-fi-fired retro-futurism. "Pursuit" proves this point, delivering a suite of mostly club-ready cuts that can easily be listened to from start to finish in the comfort of your own home. It's full to bursting with warm, melodious, bass-heavy tackle, much of which combines his usual starry synths and deep space electronics with grooves which are far more influenced by dub techno than much of Carr's output. Highlights include the two-part "Not Tonight", the TB-303 powered "Acid Bath", and the glistening ambient/IDM lusciousness of "Nightfall".

Derek Carr - "Hotel Phoney" - (5:56) 130 BPM Hot
Erell Ranson - "Here Comes The Rain Again" - (6:36) 133 BPM
Review: Mourad started DJing in the mid '80s. His mixing style and musical knowledge have taken him all over europe and all the way to Asia. Born and raised in Tunisia where he sharpened his skills he now resides in Sweden. He has appeared on Soul People Music, Quadrant Music and the late Aaron Carl's Wallshaker. That being said, the underrated figure's love for all things funky, emotive and, well, Motor City are on fine display on 'DJ Mourad Tunis Diaspora 5 For 25'. Features sublime hi-tech soul from current scene favourite Derek Carr on "Hotel Phoney", Belgian legend Fabrice Lig (aka Soul Mekanik) channels those Purposemaker vibes on "Sonar" (Dark Bubble Mix) and John Shima is in impressive form as ever (following up some great releases on FireScope) on the mesmerising "Sunday Coffee".

Pioneers EP
Athenia - (6:40) 130 BPM
The Pioneers - (6:10) 131 BPM
Review: With a new artist album that embodies his sensuous deep techno sound due for release, Derek Carr's star is firmly in the ascent. However, on Pioneers, he shifts his focus somewhat. As its title suggests, "Acid Bath' is a jittery 303 workout, albeit one that is led by a bouncy bass. Similarly, on "Hanging on a String", the Irish producer drops tough drums and a linear rhythm, all the time tempering this harder sound with one of his trademark sweeping string sequences. He also reverts to full-blown deep techno on "Athenia" and "The Pioneers", where breezy synths and symphonic melodies unravel over wide-eyed, electronic grooves.
