Review: This seminal Berlin label was around long before the German city became the capital for techno, and thanks to the remixes of old tracks, Re:Sender Volume 1 shows that it will outlive the hype. Kotelett & Zadak face a tough task, namely reworking Minimal Man's "Plastic Smile", but they do so with ease, combining hiccupping rhythms with airy strings, tripped out vocals and gently building chords. Ada's take on Metope's "Second Skin" is more reflective, with the undisputed queen of melodic German techno fusing a deep synth line with a resonating bass rumble. The Someone Else version of Misc delves deeper into clicky house sounds, while John Spring's take on Sluts 'n' Strings & 909s "Summerbreeze" is a heavy, rolling groove infused with repetitive vocal samples and infectious filters.
