Review: Dutch label Mary Go Wild Black is fast becoming known as one of the most consistent club techno labels, and this release will serve to bolster its reputation. The work of Patrick Siech, who has released before on Drumcode and Minus, it starts with the deep, spaced out rhythms and tonal bleeps of "Tetrahedron Cluster", which sounds similar to P.God and Mike Parker. "Bubbli" is more abrasive and sees Siech pick up the pace to deliver a grimy, bruising workout. The remixes are also of a high quality. Fabrizio Lapiana's version of "Tetrahedron Cluster" mines a similar path to "Bubbli", with a hypnotic groove led by hammering drums, while on the Abstract Division version of "Bubbli", spacey synths are fused with a growling acid line.
Review: Swedish label Parabel celebrates reaching double figures with this split release. It starts with Patrick Siech's "Noctambulist", where the Parabel and Drumcode regular delivers a driving but deeply musical sound, its chords soaring over a tough, rolling rhythm. On "Molgon", Petter B, another Swedish artist, drops an eerie, stripped back techno track, while Nima Khak ups the pace with "Reportage Sur Moto". Its groove pulses and rolls subtly, with atmospheric pads and chords building up and down throughout the arrangement. Newcomer Benjamin Mull closes out the release with "Cavandish", where a different approach prevails - instead of straight kicks, broken beats underpin the track's eerie textures.
