Review: Lars Fenin's fifth album is a work of contrasts. On one hand there are the atmospheric dub textures of "Out of Season" and the shimmering ambience of the title track, while at the other end of the spectrum there's "Momentum". An abrasive, glitch workout, it paves the way for an even more extreme workout on "Turner". There, a rolling, drum-heavy rhythm and tonal bleeps and squiggles see Fenin occupy the middle ground between LFO and Maetrik. He repeats the approach on "Protolith" and "Leaving the Bay", where dubbed out, doubled-up grooves round out the release. Despite this hard-edged approach, Fenin hasn't lost his musical touch and impresses with the flickering, deep techno of "Lighthouse".
Review: It's safe to say that German imprint Shitkatapult can now be classed as a pillar of modern techno music. Over the years, Shitkatapult artists such as Apparat and Cristian Vogel have been very important for the development of dance music and the label has always managed to reinvent themselves. This time, it's the third edition of its Werkschau compilation, and it features some of the hottest names in the game, as well as some of the darker sonics currently being made. Inside, you'll find the likes of TTT and Killekill's Eomac, Phon.O and of course, all the label's regular stars. Ace.
