Review: The leading contender to wrest the nu trance crown from James Holden sets out an impressively diverse stall here. "Echoes Reality" is a deliciously spaced out techno track, with a soaring, ghostly bassline, glitchy percussion and reverberating melodies pushing it through peaks and troughs. "The End Of Reason" is a totally different proposition, a symphonic, string-fuelled ambient arrangement that would make William Orbit envious, while "Darkroom" marks a return of sorts to the realm inhabited by "Reality", but this time the bass is more detuned and menacing. "Qualia" provides further surprises, its feather-light hooks resting on a delicate, introspective rhythm, and finally, John Tejada delivers a chiming, resonating take on "Darkroom".

Review: The new master of UK trance delivers a release that combines the electronic and the organic and the pastoral with the futuristic. "Epitaphy" is a hands-in-the-air affair thanks to its buzzing bass and trancey melodies and in spite of its abstract beats. "Autumn Haze" meanwhile is more gentle and natural sounding, its serene melodies unfolding over microscopic beats. Ripperton's version does much to reinforce this pastoral approach with birdsong in the break down and chiming rhythms underpinning the bucolic melodies. Then it's back to the modern world with the distorted bass and robotic shuffle of "Raw" and "Simplexity", which is all brittle beats and gloopy bass providing the basis for backwards vocal samples.

Review: Riley Reinhold's selections never fail to impress and Tour IV is no exception. On this occasion, he succeeds in uniting elements as disparate as the ambient washes of Mark Reeve's "Moving Horizons" and the high octane, trance-fuelled groove of Richie G's remix of Microtrauma's "Sturation". In between these polar opposites sit timeless tracks like the delicate chiming bell melodies and powerful bass of Dominik Eulberg's "Die Strandmieze Von St Peter-Ording" and the chord-heavy, spiralling melodies of Microtrauma's take on Minilogue's "Let Life Dance Thru You". Traum may also have an unlikely hit on their hands in the shape of Hot Chip's hushed vocal and acid-tinged version of Eulberg's "H2O".

Review: The UK outpost of Traum's trance empire comes good with a diverse release. "Spiral Inflections" sounds more like mid-90s UK techno than trance, its wiry, stripped back rhythm and acidic undercurrents coming across as a leaner, spikier take on Plink Plonk's catalogue. "Basal Ganglia" meanwhile sees Cooper conjure up an amalgamation of noisy Squarepusher bass with his own textbook dreamy synths. Cooper's Microtrauma take on "Gravity Well" reverts to his standard sound with its humming bass, ghostly chords and glitchy percussion combining to create a peak time number. But it's the original version of "Gravity" that impresses most, its poignant synths unfolding over a laid back but squelchy groove.

Review: Clocking in at 50 tracks, Tour shows that the German label isn't just about naive trance melodies and rickety, minimal beats. It starts with the deep ambience of Tominic's "Shine", which over the course of nine minutes moves into bleepy, minimal pulses. In contrast, there's the dubby house of Paul Bart's "Call It Anything You Want" and David Heckhausen's "Hang Zur Sonne Paul", a clicky, mid-tempo groove covered in organic textures. Despite this, trance fans won't be left disappointed; there's the buzzsaw bass and organic textures of Theo Meier's "Eichhorn", the gentle, spiralling melodies of Peet's seductive "Timers" and best of all, the brittle rhythm and day-glo hooks on Reinier Zonneveld's "Gevorderd Spelers".

Review: London's Max Cooper has stated that when he plays a live show, he likes to deconstruct the performance into fragments of sound on a granular level, paying meticulous attention to detail. For his Emergence live A/V (that he's been touring for the last two years), he applies these same principles to the visuals; using a variety of MIDI methods that are synced and allow him to manipulate both in realtime. It's the story of how "everything comes from (almost) nothing," using knowledge, theories and insights gained from his previous role as a geneticist. Cooper weaves a together a fascinating auditory experience here, his second album since 2014's Human, covering a variety of sonic moods in his now signature way. Take for instance "Trust" featuring the lovely vocals of Kathrin deBoer and a bit of help from good studio mate Tom Hodge; here jazzy drum and bass arrives via field recordings and classical aesthetics in wonderful harmony. Also, the deep, multi layered and ethereal journey track "Waves" sees Cooper on point, as usual, until "Cyclic" goes for something a bit more ferocious on this broken beat techno exercise where inventive use of sampling and sound design collide with perfect tension and suspense.

Review: Max Cooper's magnificent opus Emergence was released in late 2016 and was one fantastic journey through the deeper shares of tech house and electronica, incorporating some awe inspiring sound design and deeply evocative grooves that accompanied an impressive visual show for his live sets. The single "Distant Light" was a deep and slinky cut, geared for the late night and here it gets a remix by Leicester's Rival Consoles. He takes it down a far darker and tunnelling route with sinister horns, hypnotic pads and tough rhythm patterns; all the while retaining some of the ethereal magic of Cooper's original. Brilliant rework right here.
