Review: One Eyed Jacks boss Photonz keeps up his annual appearance record on Unknown To The Unknown, scoring a killer debut on the Hot Haus offshoot after two fine releases on the main UTTU operation. Osiris Resurrected is the latest release in what's been a fairly unrelenting year for both Hot Haus and UTTU and finds Photonz producer Marco Rodriguez dipping into Egyptian mythology for inspiration with the results a mighty slice of polyrhythmic techno filled with cascading melodies almost ticklish in their execution. The potential for club play is maximised further by a remix by Lobster Theremin's Palms Trax - his first by our estimation - that retains certain melodic elements but introduces all manner of diced-up breakbeats.
Review: With over 20 releases in less than two years UTTU have managed to uphold their credibility, so often lost with labels who spit out song after song like copy machines (to quote Lil' Louis' French Kiss), and this release from Portugeuse pairing Photonz is another killer. Balearic, beatdown and busy electro with hints of a 80s Hollywood action soundtrack make up the ten-minute title "Hurt Me Hurt Me". Piqued melodies and synthesised pan pips are treated to 707 workouts in "Veracruz", remixed by Boy s Noize Records stalwarts Shadow Dancer who up the BPM and exercise their Warp Records influences.
