Review: This release, a collaboration between two of European techno's most experienced practitioners, starts on an unusual note. "Spiegelkabinett", with its jazzy licks and offbeat rhythm sounds like an electronic update of The Durutti Column or 80s funk act A Certain Ratio. It proves to be a temporary distraction though; the title track is a straight down the line techno track, led by heavy kicks, shaking percussion and hiccupping samples. "Stringer Bell", presumably named after the character in The Wire, is a tough, firing affair, led by ticking percussion, detuned tones and surging chords. Completing the release are the tranced out synths of the Petar Dundov-esque "Millipede".

Review: Reviewed is Suol's new digital-only compilation series, and has apparently been designed to showcase the tracks and remixes of some of the label's most productive artists. This first volume focuses on the prolific Chopstick & Johnjon, gathering together 14 career highlights and a non-stop DJ mix of the same material. Predictably, there's much to enjoy, from the darting Latin pianos, soulful vocals, slab bass and jumpy beats of the duo's "rediscovered" remix of Siri Svegler's "Silent Viewer", to the trippy, bass-heavy hypnotism of "A New Dub", a fine collaboration with old pal Fritz Kalkbrenner. Other highlights include the stomping blues-house voodoo of "Listen", the woozy, late night deep house dreaminess of "Birds", and the melodious, riff-heavy hustle of "Rebound".

Review: There was a time during the late-'90s when Kanzleramt was the undisputed ruler of German techno and Heiko Laux was one of its main artists. Then minimal house happened and electronic music's focus changed. However, time and tastes move in a circular direction and while Laux or the label never stopped releasing music, both are now back in the spotlight. In part this is thanks to Laux's killer EP on Klockworks. Haulin Ass sees him ramp up the energy further - the title track revolves around a bombastic bass and mad hoover stabs, while on "Onyx", he lays own the kind of slamming, raw techno that will rattle your brain at 20 paces. However, there is another side to Laux and both "An Elephant in a Silver Box" and "Lila 7" explore a world where brittle breaks, chilling synths and warbling acid prevail.

Review: Following on from the first remix collection of tracks from last year's Fernweh album, Laux calls out an impressive list of remixers for the second edition. Marcel Dettmann gets to grips with the title track, making an impressive fusion of an electronic bass pulse and tough, steely drums. At the other end of the spectrum is Steve Rachmad's takes on "Shimmer". The first version keeps the focus on the dance floor thanks to a robust drum workout, but it's the 'Basic' remix that impresses most thanks to its reflective synths. New school producer Yan Cook also drops a fine, stepping interpretation of "Neutron".

Review: Laux is one of those techno artists who has quietly released quality dance floor music for years. Best known for his releases on Kanzleramt, this remix package sees Laux ceding control to Rod and Steve Rachmad for four deft reworks. Rod supplies two versions of "The Silent Bass", which focus on slinky rhythms, jittery percussion and on the second version, reintroduce Laux's airy synths. Rachmad meanwhile, shows his experience with two sublime remixes. The Sterac version of "Hangin" unfolds over skeletal percussion and understated off beats, with these elements providing the basis for a typically dreamy synth coda. However, it can't compare to the Sterac Electronics' take on the same track, where a purring sub-bass gets cosy with a flurry of 808s.
