Review: Techno's relationship with outer space has been documented at length, but this release suggests that UK act Space DJz are operating in their own dimension. Unlike Detroit techno however, they have found a place where brute force prevails. "Terrestrial Quest" is a slamming, industrial track, its dark, droning riffs suggesting that not all is well in the universe. This is also audible on the title track, a drum-heavy peak-time roller, peppered with analogue yelps and subsonic bleeps. Despite its wacky title, "Wow! 6equj5" confirms that the Space DJz are locked into an interplanetary struggle, with hammering rhythms and building siren riffs signalling that hostilities are ongoing.
