Review: The Cocoon compilation series has become an unofficial state of the nation statement for modern house and techno, and the latest instalment is no exception. It features deep, Detroit styled grooves from Damiano van Erckert and Stephen Brown alongside more accessible minimal house from Claude Von Stroke and murky, analogue jams, including the layered, dubbed out Daniel Avery track, "Your Future Looks Different in the Light". The compilation series has also been successful in spotlighting emerging artists, and volume T is no exception, as it shines a light on Yokto's bass-heavy deep house and the swaggering electro-techno of Defekt's "Terraform".

Review: Veteran producer Stephen Brown teams up with Fossil Archive boss Roberto for a fine, diverse release. "Control C" is a stripped back workout that resounds to insistent bleeps and steely hi hats. Meanwhile on "3D World", the pair opt for a radically different approach; fuelled by swirling pads and airy strings, these lush elements combine to create a deeper vision for techno. "More House" is redolent of the type of building, jacking grooves that appeared on 90s label Ideal Trax, with a focus on grainy kicks and surging chords. Focusing on a more esoteric approach, Roberto and Brown then move into deep Detroit territories with the mournful "Travel".

Review: It's been quite a journey for Stephen Brown over the past twenty or so years. From the hyper speed abstract techno of his early releases on Djax and Scandinavia, the Scottish producer has more recently moved into melodic house. However, this release on Danish label Echocord sees Brown make a rare nod to his techno past. "Sandtext" and "Back Stroke" are in keeping with Echocord's deep, dubby sound, with chugging drums shaping the former and a deft filtered riff at the heart of the latter. But it's on "Wet" that Brown deviates from this script; jittery, nervy drums and Hood-esque synth stabs make for the kind of out there, minimal techno that he used to specialise in during the 90s.

Review: Burnski and Jon Woodall's Constant Sound label continues to reach skywards following the formers essential DNA album, welcoming the ever-reliable Laura Jones and Stephen Brown into the mix with a collaborative effort that matches club precision with machine soul in equal measure. "Crystalline" works around Detroit motifs to great effect, while "Concave" ramps up the swing factor for a spacey number that gets fancy with the FX. "PV" too does a fine job of making the synths ping around the mix with a jammed-out feel, while Endian delivers a remix of "Nothing Lost" that leans on Berlin techno dynamics while injecting some colour into the situation.

Review: Enjoying something of a renaissance recently, Stephen Brown steps up to Theory to deliver two tracks and surrender them to Ben Sims for surgery. In their original forms, "Fuego" and "Polar" are stunning slices of stripped-back techno. The first pumps on a prominent shuffle carved out of tough, funky drums, but keeps the synths subtle and spacious, while "Polar" gets dubbier and freakier with a soft beat and an ace hiccupping vocal slice. Sims' remixes unsurprisingly jack things up noticeably, retaining both tracks' inherent qualities but giving them a good old UK techno injection to cut it in rougher situations.

Acid Pauli / Various
Review: The latest instalment of Crosstown Rebels' long-running Get Lost series comes from odd German deep house/tech house fusionist Acid Pauli, a man who looks more like a hairy Open University geology lecturer than a top-flight DJ. Reflecting Pauli's own style, the compilation's 41 unmixed tracks touch on shuffling, eyes-closed deepness, tactile techno, dream house and tongue-in-cheek silliness (the brilliant space-pop of "In My Spaceship" by Jan Turkenburg. More impressively, there are a string of previously unseen exclusives, including excellent tracks from Nicolas Jaar, Nu and Acid Pauli himself.

Review: As anyone with even a casual interest in techno will know, Scottish producer Stephen Brown has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music for nearly two decades. On this release on fledgling Dutch label Indigo Area, Brown shows flashes of his old magic: "Like That" and "Spaces" are wonderfully melodic and mournful jerky groove-led Detroit tracks, while "Nedds Fixed" sounds like a more considered version of his output for Djax Up Beats and even features a soulful vocal sample. Indeed, it sounds like Brown has progressed and matured, and ample evidence of this can be found on "Bodywork", where a dubby groove is fused with a catchy 'work your body to the beat' vocal sample.

Review: The second installment of the Universal Consciousness series on These Days sees Stephen Brown and Club Lonely go back to back for a double techno treat. Brown's Speak features some heavy kicks and delicate hollow keyboard stabs that pepper the track wonderfully and keep things nicely buzzy in a Detroit style. Club Lonely (a name given to the collaborative efforts of These Days' in-house production family) offer up Shelter on the flipside, which is a warm old-school slice of funky techno complete with a bassy organ sound that carries the whole beat along perfectly. Check out the dub version too for an ideal extended DJ tool.
