Yes People
Yes People - (5:32) 135 BPM
Review: In the early 00s, Roman Flugel put out four minimal techno records under the Tracks On Delivery banner. Now, twenty years on, he revives the series with this storming four-tracker. "Yes People" gets the release off to a firing start, with skipping drums supporting noisy percussion and a lone, insistent bleep. It achieves Flugel's goal of being 'reduced to the max', but equally, it doesn't deter from the quirky sensibility that defines the series. "Play Simple" is also based on these principles, as a stuttering vocal sample is combined with atonal sounds over a jittery rhythm. Flugel was not the first European producer to flirt with minimalism, but as the driving "Jam" demonstrates, his Tracks On Delivery series shows that he continues to stamp his mark on the form.

Hypercolour Patterns Volume 12
Various
Matthew Herbert - "Brand New Love" (feat Zilla - Special Request remix) - (7:10) 135 BPM
Luke Vibert - "Acid" - (5:34) 138 BPM Hot
Review: A confirmed presence within the landscape of UK dance music for the best part of 15 years, Hypercolour has cultivated its own constellation of artists while becoming a port of call for those hitting their peak within pseudo-mainstream house music. It's Patterns compilation series has always offered rare cuts and remixes from its roster of artists and from the get go here a lesser known Zodiac impresses out of the blocks with a banging dub techno joint "GhostNet". Sebastian Mullaert & Boelja go hardcore Swedish bleeptronic in "Who Are You Really?" with FRAK also included with an old school and lo-fi 909 workout "Berga Magic". Roman Flugel hits a sweetspot as usual next to some lowly jackin tracks by London Modular Alliance, a vocal breakbeat number of classical drum and bass refrain by Mathew Herbert to some tongue cheek rave by Luke Vibert and much much more! Approved.

Review: Sister Midnight is a new label form Roman Flugel and for its opening salvo, it sees the veteran producer compile music from the Tracks on Delivery series of Eps that he released at the start of the millennium. It's hard to understand that this is the same producer who would also put out the crowd pleasing "Geht's Noch" only a few years later; "Patterns 1" and "Patterns 3" are wiry minimal grooves, while the fourth instalment sees him drop a tripped out electro track. Flugel ups the tempo on "Pattern 6" for a high-paced minimal groove that has echoes of both classic DBX and Baby Ford. The release also boasts two extra "Patterns" tracks, including the wonderfully dubbed out "Pattern 17".

Dekmantel 10 Years: The Collection (unmixed tracks)
Various
Talismann - "Aciano" - (7:25) 138 BPM
Played by: DeWalta
Review: A true staple of the Amsterdam scene, the Rush Hour affiliated Yuri Boselie aka Cinnaman takes up the reins for local institution Dekmantel's extended tenth birthday celebrations with this mastermix. It takes in the entirety of the 10 volume edition - what an effort. What may seem as an outrageous challenge - what with the compilation's genre diversity and wide rage of tempos - it's a success, for they've certainly found the right candidate. Cinnaman plays a wide range of styles anyway, and is never afraid to mix the known with the unknown - he has a reputation for his remarkable combinations and transitions. From moments of sublime ambience (Italian ambient legend Gigi Masin with the utterly evocative "Maja") to bass heavy electro bounce (courtesy of Egyptian Lover or Syracuse & Epsilove), right through to techno bangers of the cerebral variety (by Donato Dozzy & Peter Van Hoesen or local hero Talismann) and stuff by Bufiman or Tony Allen - it's a solid effort here by one of Holland's finest selectors.

Equiknoxx - "Flagged Up" (Mark Ernestus remix) - (9:36) 137 BPM
Stanislav Tolkachev - "Optical Illusions" - (7:43) 137 BPM
Review: This an altogether epic offering from Deetron; a vast collection of un-mixed tracks from his brilliant DJ Kicks mix (naturally included as a bonus cut) that is little less than a lesson in the evolution of techno over the last three decades. Amongst the 38 tracks you'll find fine representatives of a myriad of sub-genres (intelligent techno, dub techno, IDM, ambient techno, gospel techno, and so on), as well as past, present and future classics (Damier and Trent's "Morning Factory", Spacetime Continuum's "Swing Factory", Mark Ernestus's recent Equinoxx remix, the Motor City bliss of Rhythim is Rhythim AKA Derrick May's "Ka-o-tic Harmony", a brilliant old Black Dog Productions workout). In other words, it's a breathlessly brilliant collection of both well-known and obscure gems. It comes heartily recommended.

Gary Gritness - "Cherenkov Blue" - (5:09) 135 BPM
Played by: Sam Redmore
Review: London/Bristol based tech house institution celebrates a decade in the business. They've seen a few faces and phases, tech-wise or otherwise but at the end of the day remained consistent in their pursuit of quality grooves. Alex Jones and Jamie Russell present some great music here and there are many highlights. From electronica legends such as Warp's Luke Vibert, minimal house pioneer Matthew Herbert (with the deep and dusty microhouse of "Downgraded") as well as techno's one time enfant terrible Neil Landstrumm through to new favourites such as Swedish hypnotic techno hero Sebastian Mullaert (the tunnelling "Shadowed By I"), Italian hardware mavericks The Analogue Cops plus up and comers Yaleesa Hall x Malin Genie with the banging' "Buchan Trap". We applaud the label for their ability to keep on the pulse of the ever changing electronic music landscape and heres to another ten years.
