Review: Aside from hosting a pretty spectacular line-up each and every June in the Amsterdam area, Dekmantel also know how to lay down some hard dance tunes and, since their inception, they have been a pillar to the modern house and techno spectrum. This series of releases marks ten years of activity from the Dutch crew, and they certainly know how to celebrate in style - Bufiman's opening "Hymn To The Moonface" is a stunning slice of progressive sci-fi rolling, Betonkust and Palbomen II's number is sleek and tech-minded, while Scotland's Space Dimension Controller rolls through with some spectacularly cinematic electro-tech, and Lena Willikens' appearance is marked by raucous bass tones and sharp-edged beats. BIG.
Review: Now on their second release, new D&B label Pulse Audio invite new-gen Bristol talents Cannon and Hyper:Dimension to the plate for a broad and bountiful fourpiece. Cannon goes solo for the first two tracks; the sci-fi tech sizzler "Evidence" and the velveteen piano cut "Faded". Hyper:Dimension join the fray for a breathy pneumatic stepper "Disregarded" before closing the show solo with the neck-snapping, block-slapping wriggler "One More Time." Rewind.
Review: D&B darling Rob Dimension does it again... Both "Automatik" and "Hydraulic" capture both sides of D&B's ever-flipping coin right now. The former tips a slight nod at Rob Swire with its space-aged vocal processing, hookiness and Sub Focus style hook while the latter takes us much deeper into the dance with a brutal techy swing. Serious mechanical mischief both tailored squarely for the biggest crowds.
