Review: Alex Pletnev hails from Vilnius, Lithuania and has thus far released on some pretty credible labels such as R&S diffusion imprint Meda Fury and German retroverts Bahnsteig 23: where he served up some wicked indie-dance shenanigans on BAH035. There is more of the same on "St Bones", a punk funk groove geared for some proper dancefloor drama in the vein of Khidja or Autarkic. There's then some trippy and lo-slung balearica on the very suave "Devil's Logic". The aforementioned title track gets a couple of awesome remixes, but if we had to wax lyrical on one: it would have to be his homegirl Inga Mauer's re-interpretation. A churning, gyrating and acidic EBM mutation that is totally weird and wigged out as you like it!

BAH 035EXCLUSIVE
Review: A first outing on Bahnsteig 23 from Alexander Pletnev, a producer best known for his exploits under the Ponty Mython alias. As with all of the label's previous releases, the EP blurs the boundaries between sneaky reworks of unusual, obscure, post-punk era material and original production. For example, on opener "Duga", Pletnev underpins what sounds like a skewed Turkish dub disco number with a bold new bassline and tidy house beats, before doing the same with the early New Order style trip that is "Wind On Skin". Elsewhere, "Manlakshee Fontah" is an exceedingly atmospheric drift through dub-wise bass and exotic Middle Eastern flute lines, while closer "Mamauntano" is frankly bonkers - a trippy chunk of experimental '80s electro/post-punk fusion full of chanted vocals and metallic percussion hits.

Review: Compiled by head of programming Vidmantas "B" Cepkauskas, Opium of the People is the first compilation from Lithuania's infamous Opium Club. It's a druggy, off-kilter and decidedly trippy affair, with Cepkuskas wisely choosing to showcase cuts from artists who in some way have helped shape the sound of the label. Expect to hear tracks that touch on EBM, new wave, new beat, bleep techno-influenced deep house, mutant disco, mind-altering techno and skewed acid house, with highlights - and there are certainly plenty scattered throughout the compilation - coming from the likes of Sharif Laffrey, Kris Baha, Lauer, V and Von Party.

Review: Vilnius based Alex Pletnev aka has experimented with many different styles of dance music on Le Temps Perdu, Bahnsteig 23 and Meda Fury. Doing everything from African music to coldwave edits through to his deep house stuff as Ponty Mython for esteemed imprints like Futureboogie and Dirt Crew. His new offering "Aztec Code" is a dose of acid-tinted African punk funk, while "Daywalker" exists in two versions: the lo-slung kosmische pop of the original, followed by Mehmet Aslan (Disco Halal) and Berlin based synthesist/composer Eva Geist's spaced-out, slow motion spookfest - which was right up out street, via the left hand path!

Review: Lithuania's Alex Pletnev is a hard-to-pigeonhole artist who blends influences from cosmic/Italo disco, experimental electronica and African music, and the two tracks presented in a total of five mixes here are arguably his most 'out there' work to date. In its original form, 'Voranto Bros' is a midtempo piece with African percussion and squelchy synth bass. It's accompanied by a fairly self-explanatory Drum Mix and the Discodromo Mix, a druggy Italo chugger that's by far the best bet for dancefloor play, while the EP's other original, 'Hope They Won't Come Back', is another Afro-inspired percussion piece, accompanied by the far pacier Lion's Drums Remix.

Review: A collaborative release by by two record labels here: Leipzig's R.A.N.D. and Echocentric. Pletnev's And You Never Come Back consists of four tracks that are mind-bending, bold and meant for curious dancers to explore. The Lithuanian producer's modular beats and rhythmic refrains are an invitation for listeners to experience the tracks and let the music move them. The trance-influenced euphoria of "Bass Covered With Gold" opens up the EP, going further into the galactic on the even more psychedelic "Average Monday" and hammering the message home with the peak time techno cut "Am I Looking At Two Similar Cats?".
