Review: Two of underground techno's most promising artists feature on this split release. Advanced Human shows two different sides to his musical palette. "Noh Funk" is a primal, slamming groove, the tough rhythms housing eerie chord progressions and a tunnelling, hypnotic riff. "Maszyna" is more understated and sees AH embrace dubby influences, yet at the same time the beats are hard and stomping, even though the tempo isn't as fast. By contrast, Developer favours a lighter approach. "Primera" is a deep, pulsing groove its rolling rhythm augmented by chain mail percussion. "Fuego" sees Developer go deeper still and its eerie chords rounds off this excellent package.

Review: Developer brings 2021 to a close with the thirteenth instalment of his Archive series. Displaying a deeper side to his sound, "Bronze Era" sees the US producer at his most introspective, with ticking percussion underpinning chiming melody loops. "Tender Surrenders" is in a similar vein, albeit powered by a faster and more forceful rhythm, while on "Red Lights Again" and "Ancient Summoning", tribal beats and subtle filters provide the basis for indistinct vocal samples. While tracks like "They Be Mad" are more in keeping with Developer's typical heads-down style, most impressively, Archive 13 shines a light on this singular artist's other sound.

Review: The latest release in Developer's archive series gets straight to the point, with dense drums and layered textures controlled by rocking percussion on "Nothing But Trouble". "Ashes In The Sky" is more stripped back and sees the US producer lay down a heady fusion of grainy, tribal drums and outer space tones. On "Still Fuckable", Developer turns up the intensity dial a few notches, with visceral bass and a heads-down arrangement making for a truly hypnotic sound. "Nostalgia Plays Its Part" is another noisy affair, this time with rumbling drums and grainy frequencies making for a raw climax to the latest instalment in this acclaimed series.

Review: Sourced from the vaults of Developer's studio, Archive 10 is a heady, hypnotic collection of dance floor techno. It starts with "Dream Awake", where vocal samples are looped over a dense, drum-led groove. On "Raw Gram", a more visceral approach applies as gated synths unravel to the sound of brassy blasts and jagged percussive bursts. Meanwhile, "Te Vale Made" sees Developer opt for a surprisingly deeper approach, as UR-style blips unravel over a driving tribal groove. The US producer also drops another surprise in the form of "Purgatorio", where atmospheric organ stabs offset his typically driving dance floor rhythm.

Review: Developer aka Adrian Sandoval delves back into his vaults again for the ninth instalment of the Archive series. Like previous instalments, it shows that the US producer has made a wealth of dark, deep techno. A case in point is "Zodiac Talking". Over a throbbing bass, he lays down a muffled vocal loop and skipping percussion. It's a subtle but heady combination, and a mood that he replicates on "Queen of Arcs". Although the drums are tougher and the looped stabs more dramatic, there is still an understated sensibility at play. While "Severed Ties" sees him return to the rolling, loopy sound he is known for, there is still subtle flair audible here - just check the menacing "Transmissions From The Yucatan" if you are in any doubt.

Review: The Archive series has allowed its owner, Developer, to show a different side to his music, and this is clearly audible on the eighth instalment. "Hooked In" sounds like the US producer is locking horns with early Octave One, as a tense, hypnotic rhythm gives way to soaring synths. "Towering Figure" also reveals a deeper side to the Developer canon, as eerie textures accompany bristling drums and a rolling groove prevail. However, the biggest change is audible on "Drama Cut", where noisy guitar, scratchy percussion and rolling beats make for a truly left of centre combination. By contrast, "Callisto", with its horror stabs, is almost conventional.

Review: The seventh instalment of the series that Adrian 'Developer' Sandoval began back in 2011 sees him lay down more functional but individualistic techno. At the deeper end of the spectrum, there's "Outer Planetary Horn Calls", where atmospheric chords and a wiry groove prevail, while "Out of Body Terminology" is a hypnotic tribal groove with similarities to the hypnotic Italian techno of Obtane and P.God. At the harder end of the spectrum, there's "Ancient Modernists", a tough banging acid workout and the scuzzy, grungy techno of "Tesla On The Radio", but probably the track that best sums up Developer's linear, functional sound is the metal-plated rhythm and firing percussion of "Latin Mechanics".

Review: Launched just over a year ago, Developer's Archive label allows the American techno producer an opportunity to slip out intermittent limited vinyl only runs of his own material while his more established Modularz imprint continues to flourish thanks to collaborative releases with Truncate, Silent Servant and more. This third Archive release doesn't stray far from the established template, drawing on a palette of raw, growling metallic techno for four exercises in expertly sculpted sound design. "SEQ7" is a vicious opening gambit, driven by dense kicks and cascading hats which nudge the central one note motif up and down the tempo scale, while "Obsessions" is a weightier production that seems to gain pounds as it descends into the depths of claustrophobic techno. The ghosts of a fully blown vocal track sound trapped deep within the DNA of the juddering "Impure Thoughts" while "De Chord" is a suitably titled exercise in dubby chord techno.

Review: The foreboding Developer Archive returns with its fifth chapter and as you'd expect, the EP is made up of four wavey techno bleepers tailor-made for floor-filling. From "Body Art" - a steamroller of a cut - to "Precious Time", Developer voices his thoughts across in a techno language, except that his moods differ on each track and although the bulk of the EP is rather bleak and grey-scaled, the sounds on a track like "Metronica" also portray a lighter side to the man's vision. Quality as always, this one's for the techno heads. Most probably supported by the whole Berghain mafia.

Review: Although his Modularz imprint has been receiving significant attention for its dark, textured take on techno functionalism, Developer's Archive imprint is an opportunity to showcase his own material on limited vinyl only runs. While the beautiful marble charcoal pressing would, in the hands of other labels, be to distract from below par music, there's nothing of the sort in evidence here, with the same intricate approach to sound design as contemporaries Silent Servant and Shifted. "Sangre Por Oro" takes a firm, yet ghostly stomp and foregrounds bleached out, ascending chords, while "Horns From The West" is an apt summation of its mood, with its Mariachi inspired melody and rolling drums. On the flip, "The Truth" goes for hypnotic key stabs shrouded in delay atop a rumbling rhythm, while "From The Womb" begins as an expectedly claustrophobic experience, with its muddy vocal snippet and shackling industrial rhythms, but slowly opening out with lighter hints of melody and gaseous atmospherics.

Review: For the third Failsafe instalment, Developer has tried something a little different. Despite the presence of "Get It On", which integrates Dan Bell and Robert Hood's minimalism with UK techno's loopy aesthetic, the US producer showcases a range of other influences. "Chain of Life" is an uptempo, string-heavy house jam, while on "Natives Calling", the Modularz boss fuses melodic Detroit techno elements with his trademark rolling sound. The biggest surprise however is "Snap Over". Led by thumb-clicking percussion and a hypnotic vocal sample, it will work on the dance floor, but it also hints at a deeper, indeed more melancholic personality behind one of techno's most renowned projects.

Review: This split release shows that peak-time techno need not be all about tunnel vision and furrowed brow seriousness. Granted, Developer's "Let It Be Said" is a tough, pumping affair led by steely drums, but the eerie synths that hang over them lend it a mysterious air. There are no such concessions on "Madre", where a rolling groove and heavy, distorted kicks prevail, but the mood is never too dark, thanks to Adriana Lopez. "Lines Of Fracture" is a more subtle, pulsing affair, and she follows a similar route on "Sequel". There, eerie bleeps and reverberating claps support a predatory, bassy groove.

Review: Developer continues his fine run of form with this EP for Gynoid Audio with four tracks of typically driving yet intelligent techno. "Tiburon" opens on a decidedly mechanistic tip, as factory line rhythms drive forward gaseous textures, while "Shade" is decidedly chunkier affair, with shackling hi-hats playing off against deep organ drones. "Bodega" fills its rhythmic gaps with shrill bleeps and electro-acoustic tones, but it's "Formu" that's the real powerhouse of the release, as pounding kicks go head to head with undulating sheet metal chords.

Review: Featuring music from across the Americas, the latest compilation on Modularz sees household names line up alongside newer talent. Veteran producers Developer and Jeremy Caulfield both deliver understated interpretations of modern minimalism, led by subtle, snaking grooves. Remaining in that field, Juan Trujillo's "Massive Flood" serves up a more layered, dystopian sound, while Jonas Kopp's "Tremsixxed" leads the compilation into a loop techno direction, powered by dusty drums. This is also a collection of extremes: The Ripped's abrasive industrial techno on "Self Aware Image" represents the most intense iteration of the Modularz sound, while at the other end of the spectrum is Uun's wonderfully esoteric electro, "Book Of Miracles".

Review: On the latest Modularz release, label owner Developer does what he is known best for - delivering tough, expertly crafted dance floor techno. "Ancestral Communication" is based on dense, pounding drums, with the arrangement littered with vocal samples and ghostly synths. "Everyone Everywhere" sees Developer opt for a similar approach, with a pulsating groove underpinning wave upon wave of nocturnal chords and glassy percussion. "Ethnic Rooted" sees the US producer opt for a more stripped back approach where dense, rolling drums dominate, while "Tough Touch" resounds to robust kicks and hypnotic one-note riffs. For anyone with even a passing interest in club techno, Muted Icons is an essential purchase.

Review: The latest release from Developer is a diverse affair; it moves from the deep, atmospheric pulses of "Witchwork" to "Cowards Stay Silent", one of the producer's more typical tracks. Supported by tough kicks and rasping percussion, its purring bass really stands out. The release takes a drastically different turn on "Charm Them With Silence". Led by discordant synths and insistent filters, its pulsating bass and hi hats come together to make a rousing peak-time track. The brilliantly named "Olmec Blood Tool 21" is another intense affair, with Developer painting a grey synth tapestry over steely kicks drums and sharp percussion.

Review: Deep within the pores of techno you'll find Developer, an artist tirelessly producing techno like a motor-neuron being printed in 3D. This album, Sangre Por Oro, translates to that (and Blood For Gold in English) with a soundtrack that sends our consciousness spiralling into a new cosmological space. Flecked with sci-atmospheres, subtle industrialisms, trippy vocal snippets and touches of dub techno, Developer's tracks come together for full warehouse purpose. Thematic and melody can be found in numbers like "Over Cold Seas" alongside heavier tracks like "Headhunter" and "Boogie Down", with dubby touches in "Jive Keep Me Alive" and opener "Risky". Golden.

Review: Celebrating its tenth anniversary, Modularz delivers a split EP featuring label owner Developer and upcoming producer Roll Dann. "Ritual Master" is every bit what you would expect from a Developer track - ominous, streamlined and deadly effective as he loops a hypnotic electronic riff over a pounding kick. "Lone Mystic" reveals a different side to his canon, as he fuses a repetitive vocal sample with an eerie organ riff. On the flip side, Roll Dann immerses a tough techno track in colourful rave riffs to create an unusual hybrid, while "Soul Bag" is a more typical Modularz track, as eerie tones unfold over a lithe, rolling groove.
