Review: The second volume of the Endeavours compilation starts with the artist it is dedicated to - Trevino. "Plugged" shows why the UK producer, who sadly passed away earlier this year, was held in such high esteem - its rich, dubby chords and swaggering groove sounding effortless. By contrast, Ambivalent delivers a rough, rugged take on jacking techno with "Supertouch" under his LA-4A guise, while Lando inhabits similar territory on the grimy "Ritual Track". There are emotions of a different nature audible on TML's "Crying (Piano Mix)", where euphoric keys and haunting vocals unfold over a rolling groove. Oliver Deutschmann provides the toughest, most frenetic track in the shape of the loopy techno "Sequel", while Scuba himself works as SCB to deliver the rough, sample-heavy techno of "Rolling SN".
Review: Dropping the Kal from his name once more, Lando makes a second outing on his own Myth Music label with four tracks of typically chunky, metallic peak timers. It's worth noting that this release has been offered up as a Traktor Remix set for enhanced creative interaction for all those tinkerers out there, meaning you can really get to grips with the ear snagging hooks and forthright rhythms. The tracks themselves veer between the sturdy thrust of "Posse Form" and the unhinged synth twirls of "Insyde", all catering to long dark nights without ditching warm, human qualities in the process.
