Review: Phase Fatale aka Hayden Payne follows his 2017 debut album Redeemer with this unforgettable follow up. The Berlin-based producer has spoken about how Scanning Backwards is inspired by his residency at Berghain, and it's impossible to play down this influence. "Velvet Imprints" is a lean but menacing club track, inspired by ebm and designed for blacked out rooms. Payne moves close to conventional song arranging on "Binding By Oath" - but waves of electronic intensity blast away any pop pretence - while at the album's midpoint "During The Freezing Process" sees him deliver a less intense take on his signature. These exceptions should not lure the listener into a false sense of security and as the head-shredding, visceral stomp of "Mass Deception" demonstrates, Phase Fatale is a master of neo-industrial techno.

Review: After a release on sub-label Unterton last year, Phase Fatale aka Hayden Payne now makes his debut on the mother imprint. Taking inspiration from industrial's dance floor and experimental strains in equal measures, the common bond across Reverse Fall is Payne's adherence to dark electronic sounds. This takes form on the pounding, Front 242-style title track and "Blackbox", where a tunnel of glitchy percussion paves the way for a peak time, pounding rhythm. In contrast, on "Empty Whip" percussive bursts simulate whip lashes doled out over a buckled, broken electro track, while on "Incision" brooding sub bass and murky textures collide to bring this bleak but compelling release to a finale.

Review: This far, US producer Phase Fatale aka Hayden Payne has released on pretty much every label focussing on the rougher, more post-apocalyptic dude of dance music. Techno, to be precise. With balls the size of industrial warehouses. After several outings on Jealous God, he lands on Hospital Productions with Redeemer, a wacky mini LP fit for those who like their cuts to be cooked raw and bitter, a flurry of dance sketches spanning everything from post punk to noise and EBM. Among our favourite tunes on here, "Operate Within" is particularly satisfying thanks to a looming, glacial bassline which engulfs anything in its path; "Order Of Severity" equally makes a mocking of traditional 'club' techno, and the likes of "Beast" add to the sense of mystery and doom through vast, crestfallen landscapes of hollow sound. Magnetic from start to finish. Another Hospital trophy in the making!

Review: With two releases to his credit for Jealous God, Hayden Payne aka Phase Fatale sets his sights on Ostgut spin-off label Unterton. The release starts with the crushing broken beats and dramatic but bleak synths of "Hollow Flesh". The title track sees the US producer delivering a tunneling, hollowed out groove that will set more adventurous dance floors alight, but in the main this is a deeply experimental release. "Wound", with its frazzled, noisy textures and cold drums, sounds like the kind of contorted techno that Oliver Ho is making as Broken English Club. The stand out track is "The Size of God" and its eerie, sinister synth sweeps and staccato drum rolls make it nothing short of majestic.

Review: The sixth split release on Tommy Four Seven's label is a diverse affair and reflects the across the board soundtrack of the Berlin night of the same name. 47006 starts with Headless Horseman's "At The Gates" a rumbling slice of stepping rhythms shot through with understated menace. Pushing up the tempo is Phase Fatale's "Under Marble" where cyber punk industrial collides with a pulsing groove. Straight after that Stephanie Sykes throws a curve ball with the hypnotic dub of "Sakura" while the label owner retreats to the shadows. Inhabiting the same space as the mysterious Headless Horsemen "Bactria" is a noisy grunge techno stepper
