126 BPM Review: Santiago Salazar's label drops a techno release full of surprises. "Aztlan Reclaimed" is classic Detroit techno, its ghostly synths traversing a jerky, bassy groove. At the other end of the spectrum is "El Dia", a busy jacking groove featuring insistent Spanish vocal samples - think of it as the Latino riposte to Floorplan's "Baby, Baby". The title track is in the mould of DJ 3000's releases on Motech, with loose, rolling tribal beats providing the backing for a techy chord builds. Salazar himself contributes a remix of "Trinity". Playing to the kind of epic, string-drenched sound that characterises early 00s Underground Resistance, the soaring bass leads into a series of bleepy breakdowns.
