Review: It's hard to believe that Cocoon is celebrating its 20th anniversary, but what's not difficult to grasp is that Sven Vath's imprint is marking the occasion in style. Rampa and Emanuel Satie kick-start this compilation with emotive, tranced out tracks - in particular Rampa's "2000" is particularly poignant - while Cocoon mainstays like Gregor Tresher and Ricardo Tobar up the pace with the musical but clubby techno of "Nostalgia (Is The Enemy)" and "El Eterna" respectively. As always, Cocoon strikes a flawless balance between showcasing local producers and international names; 20 Years is no exception and features frazzled acid from Josh Wink as well as steely percussive bangers courtesy of Planetary Assault Systems and Jacek Sienkiewicz.

Review: As one of the most feted labels in techno, it's not hard to imagine that Cocoon receives a ton of demos. Fittingly then, the Dots & Pearls compilation series shines a light on the type of music that is bubbling up from the underground via the label's inbox. Youandme's"Claret Loss" sets a high standard, with its lush strings underpinned by a robust groove. Similarly, Florian Hollerith's "Ohrenzirkus" - which also features on label owner Sven V?th's Sound of the 19th Season - strikes a balance between the musical and the functional as deranged horns unravel over a gritty back drop. Maintaining this melodic feeling is Petar Dundov's beautifully mournful "Pyroelectric". However, there is another side to this equation, with Marc Romboy dropping the menacing bass-led "Sequential Error". Irrespective of the mood however, Dots & Pearls V is sure to become an integral part of this year's clubbing soundtrack.

Review: As the temperatures get warmer, you can rest assured that Petar Dundov will release new music. The Croatian producer has been releasing deeply melodic techno for the best part of two decades, but his latest missive for Music Man is among his most impressive work. "Dalmatina" sounds like a low-slung, techy take on "Sueno Latino", with Dundov laying down evocative melodies over a tight, techy rhythm. On "Once We Were Here", he ups the tempo, but the mood remains the same as ponderous piano lines flow over tight back beats. It's the perfect, atmospheric sound track for those dramatic Dalmatian sunsets.

Review: "Lattice" is taken from Petar Dundov's fourth artist album, At The Turn Of Equilibrium, and it in some ways it is indicative of his sound. The Croatian's penchant for catchy, tranced out melodies are present, but the overall mood is subdued and even the synths have a less melancholic sound than usual, replaced by a somewhat frosty sensibility. It's left up to remixer Frank Wiedemann to raise the mood. The German producer, who is one half of Ame has considerable experience in this area - who can forget Rej? - and he combines powerful bass pulses with euphoric trance riffs to create a memorable, bubbling remix.

Review: Croatia's Petar Dundov, as those in the know well know: is one of the original proponents of the 'hypnotic techno' sound and why he's such a favourite at events such as the iconic Labyrinth Festival in Japan. In a career that's spanned over 16 years, At The Turn Of The Equilibrium LP marks his fifth album. Half the tracks are some of the most captivating and immersive ambient soundscapes that will inspire you with awe; such as on "Then Life" and "Everlasting Love" but rest assured there's some sweet trance inducing grooves also, like "The Lattice", the positive and uplifting "Before It All Ends" and the sombre and mysterious "Midnight Orchestra" which have you tunnelling down the abyss gloriously.

Review: You know that summer isn't too far away when Petar Dundov re-appears. Every year, the Croatian producer delivers a sun-kissed , tranced out groove that captures the beauty of his home country. "Dancing Sun" is no exception - what begins as an understated, bleep-laden track builds and builds with subtle melody changes until it reaches a gentle but hypnotic climax. Remixer Forever Sound faces a tough task to rise to the occasion, but he achieves it by adding in some bleeping bass and shimmering synths that sound like they were designed to be played at an open air party on the Dalmatian coast.

Review: Every year, Petar Dundov puts out a release that effortlessly captures the sun-kissed coastline of his native Croatia. This year, his knack of producing summer grooves is articulated on "Origins". Hollowed out drums and a rolling groove provide the basis for a swirling, trancey synth riffs that are just the right side of cheesiness, while Dundov - or one of his collaborators - strums a Balearic guitar in the background. "Rise" is darker and more moody, but here too the synths glisten and shimmer like stars flickering on a midnight surf in the Adriatic. This is techno at its most atmospheric and infectious.

Review: Petar Dundov delivers the Music Man label his third album, Sailing Off The Grid. Similarly to last year's Ideas From The Pond LP, his latest full length sees Dundov squeeze the richest of synthesised colours from his music machines. Tracks like "Moving", "Yesterday Is Tomorrow" and "White Spring" focus on strong, nightdrive arpeggios, while others like "Enter The Vortex", "Spheres" and "Sur La Mer Avec Mon Ami" look to ambient textures cast in a classical arrangement. Petar Dundov may not necessarily be breaking new ground with this LP, but his sound is certainly off the grid.

Review: Croatia's Petar Dundov is one the few artists who makes techno sound both evocative and organic. Unlike post-Kompakt mush or fist-pumping stadium trance, Dundov's work evokes a sense of melancholia that is absent from electronic music - and this release is no exception. On the title track, dramatic synths and strings well up against the backdrop of an amazingly fluid acid line. It's the musical strings that impress most, sounding purer and more vital than the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. "Triton", as its name suggests, is more austere and darker, as a pacy bassline guides eerie synth lines, but the reflective piano keys show yet again that Dundov is a master of melody.

Review: While Petar Dundov's latest album is certainly more laid-back than the storming intensity of his Brother's Yard releases, he hasn't sacrificed creativity, ideas or imagination in the process. Admittedly, the Croatian's 2010 single for Music Man, "Distant Shores", also included here, did edge close to mainstream Ibiza dance music, but it did so with an irresistible flair and panache and an understanding of what used to be popular on the White Isle, its pulsing electronic bassline supporting synth solos that verge on the psychedelic. Although it largely eschews the dance floor, the rest of Ideas From The Pond resonates with a similar sense of history. The title track is a perfectly weighted, sun-kissed ambient affair, its melody swirling gently over lazy mid-tempo beats that were made for Cafe Del Mar. "Together" provides the missing link between Leftfield at their most introspective - think the alternate versions of "Song of Life" - and Vangelis, as synths swell and ebb majestically and it's crying out to soundtrack a movie. "Around One" and "Tetra Float" are wonderfully atmospheric compositions, with spine-tingling keys and spacey melodies realised with a warm, soft-focus production touch. Unlike many of his peers, Ideas From The Pond shows that Dundov is not treading water and has grown older, wiser and more creative.

Review: Over the past few years there has been some great new talent coming out of Croatia, and Zagreb based Peter Dundov is one of those leading the way. He returns to Belgium based Music Man with a typically experimental and dynamic EP that sits itself (un-pigeon holed) somewhere between techno, progressive, and psy trance. Quite a melting pot of styles there and plenty going on in the mix to keep the listener interested, and twisted. Lead track is 'Stairway' full of blistering synth lines and washy atmospherics, while met with simplistic sharp percussion and a solid rolling b-line. 'The Arch' on the flip is a little lighter and melodic, whilst maintaining all of Petar's standout qualities.. Try something new and give these a go!

Review: Given that Music Man regular Petar Dundov and Systematic boss Marc Romboy are both hugely successful producers in their own right, you'd expect this first collaborative release to be rather good. It is, of course, with pleasingly melodic "Garden of Cyrus" leading the way. While the track's muted (but heavy) drums and squeezable acidic bassline provide the energy, it's the duo's layered electronic melody lines that really catch the ear. If you're in the mood for something darker and more suitable for pitch-black Berlin basements, creepy and hypnotic flipside "Caper Tran" should more than fit the bill.
