I Hate Models - "Beloved & Damned" - (8:52) 123 BPM
Review: Triple Vision pull out all the stops on the ninth Evidence Based edition. Tin Man's expansive 303 sound is to the fore on the aptly-named "Acid Swirls", while representing a more sombre, subdued style is Oscar Mulero's broken beat remake of End Train's "Into The Sun's Maze". Deadbeat drops a high-paced minimal techno groove in the shape of "7th and 33rd", while Triple Vision scores a coup by securing the services of Steve Bicknell - the Lost founder's contribution is the suitably textured and otherworldly "Constant Movement". He's not the only high-profile name to line out for this edition and I Hate Models delivers the rattling, glitchy techno of "Beloved & Damned".
Review: It's a pity that more underground labels don't follow Interstate's example. The newly launched label has decided that it will use its debut release as a platform to promote new, upcoming artists. Varying in styles, from Dial Tone's dubbed out minimalism, to the mid-90s inspired, spiralling acid techno trance of Hedrome's "Hard Education" and Inhalt Der Nacht's brilliant, ebm-referencing "Lichter", this diversity may not be to everyone's tastes. However, with fewer outlets open to new producers, it's an admirable approach. As Mental Resonance's dubbed out "Equality" demonstrates, if labels take such chances it can often yield some truly unexpected highlights.
