Review: London based Manni Dee returns after some full-on explorations in extremity, for the likes of Perc Trax, Layla and Emetic with this brand new killer for the esteemed Tresor. The production of The Residue EP was inspired by his home city, the British capital and its general living conditions. Topics such as social cleansing, inequality and the general political situation and how this in turn 'informs internal and external locus of control'. From the abrasive factory floor assault of "Subterranean Choke", the repulsive dark ambient of "At The Mercy Of The Muse" and its uneasy narrative, or the blistering title track with its pounding industrial rhythms and textural noise - all reaching straight for the jugular!

Review: Much like imprints cuh as In Paradisum a few years back, the Leyla imprtin is killing it on the space that resides between house, techno and noise, with artists from all three disciplines working together for a sound that is both unique to the label and highly representative of the times we're living in. It's a various artists compilation this time around, with names like Mondkopf, Codex Empire, Von Grall and Manni Dee all bursting through the speakers with their inimitably tenebrous approach to crafting dark, underground industrial music with a techno edge. Although you'll undoubtedly be peddled some hyped releases from other labels, you should not walk away from here without having listened to this because, in our opinion, this is the cr?me-de-la-cr?me right now. Sick.
Review: For its 50th release, UK-based Osiris Music has rightly thought of landing with a fully-packed compilation from all corners of its vast and explorative catalogue. As a side note, it's important to say that this imprint, along with a few other key stables, has been responsible for the successful merging of the techno and dubstep worlds over the last 5 years. Ipman's broken, techno-leaning tool "Persistent Dread" is a great example of this early on, with peeps like Pessimist or MAnnic also providing some new and exciting flavours in the field. The one like Killawatt is also on duty here, bringing through some delightfully eerie industrial vibes, while Paul Mac, Sleeper, and Juno favourite Manni Dee deliver amuch needed 4/4 swing to liven the dance up. Fully-packed and loaded.
