Time Crystals Pt. 2 - Liquid Solids
Viels - "Fragile" - (6:19) 134 BPM
DOM - "Oye" - (5:22) 133 BPM
Review: Prepare your sonic time machines because "Time Crystals Pt. 2 - Liquid Solids" is here to warp your perception of techno! Dynamic Reflection once again proves they're not just playing around in the techno sandbox; they're constructing entire galaxies of mind-bending beats. If techno had its own dictionary, this release would be the definition of "proper" and "profound". Function, the maestro of sonic alchemy, kicks things off with "Give Thanks To The Sun", a track that's like a cosmic handshake between man and star. It's an odyssey where tense arps intermingle with celestial melodies, creating an atmosphere that feels like the soundtrack to a supernova. Viels, the mischievous techno wizard, plunges us into a vortex of sound with "Fragile". Ironically titled, because this track is anything but delicate. It's a sonic bulldozer that effortlessly shatters any illusions of tranquility, leaving only dancefloor rubble in its wake. Abstract Division then takes the reins "Convolution", a track that sizzles and ripples like an electrified ocean. It's a simmering cauldron of sound, conjuring visions of circuitry dancing in harmony with the tides of time. DOM seals the deal with a track that's the equivalent of a musical Rubik's Cube. Broken rhythms twist and turn like aural kaleidoscopes, creating a state of sonic hypnosis.

Joey Beltram - "GameForm" - (5:07) 134 BPM
Review: As befits one of techno's most revered labels, Tresor 30 is a comprehensive collection that takes in a breath-taking array of artists and sounds. The compilation features classics, such as Underground Resistance's "Final Frontier", remixed here into a clubbier shape, the spellbinding deep techno of Juan Atkins' "I Love You" and Jeff Mills' timeless banger, "Late Night", one of Tresor's signature tracks. These eternal works sit alongside contributions from newer artists: in particular, Afrodeutsche's "Can't Stop" is a wonderfully dreamy affair, while RRoxymore's "Multiplicity" teases new twists from percussive techno. Thirty years after its inception, Tresor is showing no signs of slowing down.

Existenz
Golden Dawn - (7:14) 133 BPM
Downtown 161 - (11:36) 132 BPM
Review: Existenz is Dave Sumner's third artist album as Function, and it partly ushers in a change in style. While there are echoes of his typical brooding, hypnotic techno on the mysterious, acid-tinged "Nylon Mood" and the heads-down roller, "Golden Dawn" - which features Stefanie Parnow - much of the album comprises a more mellow mood. There's the wonderfully hypnotic 90s ambient of "The Approach" and "Sagittarius A (Right Ascension)", while Function hooks up with vocalist Robert Owens to do deep house on the layered, textured "Growth Cycle". It's without doubt Function's most diverse long player, and ranges from the rickety electro of "Pleasure Discipline" to the dub shanty of "Interdimensional Interference".

Review: According to Infrastructure NYC head Function, this compilation was compiled like an album and involves not only the core group of artists but also connects the dots between the label's past, his Berghain 07 mix CD for Ostgut Ton, the legendary Sandwell District days and the respective history of the artists. Infrastructure Facticity spans "a narrative ranging from lush, ambient electronics and post-club diversions, to contemporary club techno and back again." British artist Robert McNally provides the artwork and musically the highlights are not so much the dancefloor ready bangers, which are mainly quite good, rather the moments of restraint such as Vatican Shadow's brooding and almost Boards Of Canada sounding "Swords Over Paradise", the slow burning reduced acid of Cassegrain & Tin Man's "Open Sea" and Rrose's finest moment yet, "Cephalon", which can barely be described in words!

Review: You have to admire Ostgut Ton's ambition. While celebrating a decade in dance music with a compilation of exclusive, previously unheard music is now standard practice amongst leading underground labels, few would have the balls to release it with such a killer tracklisting as Zehn. Across the 30 tracks (count 'em!) you get a who's who of Berghain and Panorama Bar associates delivering a quite outstanding selection of left-of-centre techno and deep European house, with Marcel Dettmann, Boris, Virginia, Steffi, DVS1, Martyn, Tobias and Ben Klock all featuring. Highlights naturally come thick and fast, from the spacey electronics, heady textures and hypnotic rhythms of Function's "DX3 Analog Bass Seq", and the rush-inducing, string-laden house warmth of Matthew Styles' remix of Dinky's "Planes", to the picturesque intelligent techno of Doms & Deykers.
