Review: Many happy returns to Silicone Soul's Darkroom Dubs label, which has now notched up two decades releasing music. To celebrate, they've put together this anniversary collection full to bursting not with classic cuts, but rather new and unheard music for those who like their dancefloor music dark and twisted. Fittingly, Silicone Soul kick things off with the chunky, squelchy bass-propelled early morning hedonism of 'Fahrenheit 625 (WRC Remix)', while low-slung, locked-in throb-jobs are provided by Theus Mago ('Intensify'), Undo (the acid-fired trip that is 'Vencejos') and Subcisco (the trippy, sub-heavy and wide-eyed 'Boiling Point'). There are quite a few tasty musical curveballs too, not least the Chicken Lips-on-acid flex of 'Lucky Luciano' by Am$trad Millionaire and the woozy electro-meets-EBM haziness of 'Always Almost' by Of Norway.

Review: Legend in the scene Theus Mago - known for releases on Optimo Music, Futureboogie, Pets and Kill The DJ Records before that - returns to his own Duro label. Three bangers and three remixes later we have Dog Is Calling You. Keeping the dominatrix vibe of the EP subtle in "Asesino Sicotico", Theus Mago turns it up to 11 on the techno-meter in the title track, with Die Wilde Jagd going Soviet France with its remix. "Papa En Roy" cruises through like a 7-minute fly over the darker realms of Italo Disco - that's given a gnarly drum machine and synth remix by Alinka. Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht get stingy in their version, with the 'Hazme Famosa' mix of "Asesino Sicotico" the hit number here. Woof!

Review: Moderna and Mexico's Theus Mago are not on their first outcome. They collaborated few years ago with "Tecno Misogino" on french label La Dame Noir. This time, it is on Theus Mago's own imprint Duro, and both brings their eclectic sound that blending techno, acid, electro and dark disco. Setting the tone with a powerful opening, 'La Tranca' is a dynamic and pulsating track characterized by expressive vocals and psychedelic synthesizers. The next track, Preset Body, is a chaotic track with an acidic bassline and a booming drum that immerses the listener in a whirlwind of rotating and twisted synthesizers. Following is "Give Chance A Trance", a rave cut with incisive drum and reverberating synthesizers while the EP closes with the quirky and intoxicating track The Motion Of Emotions, luring the listener on a journey into the night.

Review: Berlin-based Polish duo Catz 'n Dogz return to Watergate Records, this time collaborating with Mexico's Theus Mago of Duro Records fame. As expected, there's dark disco vibes abound; like on the tunnelling late-night chug of opening cut "Understand", or the hypnotising main room stomper "Fly" which is sure to have crossover appeal, and the elvating energy of "Intuicion" with its razor sharp and multi-layered arpeggios that are equally sure to set off the main room.

Review: Theus Mago's Duro label decides to look back on the last-half decade with glee in this Hard Five Retrospective bringing together a huge compilation to help remind us what life's gonna be like when we're allowed back on the dancefloor! Not just bells and whistles, Duro keeps its flavours deep with cuts from Rigopolar in the Jean Michel Jarre/coldwave vibes of "Espiral" matched by the heavy beats and juicy basslines of Max Jones's "Poche". Earlier on you'll find some rare Tyu jams - our pick being the Espacio remix to "Stephen Hawking" - next to a selection of choice Bufi cuts (we recommended the Mio remix), with Mago going deep himself in the groove-centric "Luna". Other dope jams include Bruha's 808-driven "Ladra", Sascha Funke's remix to Motel77 and Rina & Benji killer workout "Koshmaro".

Review: To celebrate five years of releasing new wave-inspired, left-of-centre goodness, Madrid's Play Pal Music has put together this celebratory compilation of previously unheard treats from the label's growing roster of artists. As you'd expect, the tone is dark, druggy and psychedelic from the word go, with Rambal Cochet's hallucinatory, slo-mo opener "Dark Caravan" neatly signposting what's to come. There are of course plenty less intense moments scattered throughout the compilation - see the tasty tracks by Did Virgo and Amevicious, Vereno and Club Bizarre, for starters - but a low-slung, heavyweight jam is never far away. To our ears, the best examples come from Curses (the wonky disco-punk of "More Cherry Pie"), Theus Mago (the Motorik throb of "Low Cost Interstellar Drive") and Nozz (grandiose soundtrack Italo throb-job "Clock").
