Review: Get ready to be blown away by the electrifying sounds of Woo York, the Ukrainian duo that's been reinvigorating the European scene with their unique take on dark and emotive techno-house. Their latest release on Watergate Records is a pair of absolute belters that showcase their mastery of the dancefloor. 'Samum' kicks off with driving drums and shimmering synth work overlaid with a hypnotic lead synth, while 'Prophet' follows suit with deep and rubbery grooves and wispy cosmic leads. To top it off, the package includes remixes of 'Samum' by fellow Ukrainian producer and live act 8Kays, who delivers a dark and shimmering re-rub that doesn't lose any of the original's power and a fizzing, dubby roller from Greek artist Echonomist.

Review: Tale Of Us curates the next volume of their epic compilation series Unity, featuring contributions from a cast of talent located all over the world. Part 3 maintains the same premise as the previous installments, gathering together a massive collection of 39 tracks designed to transport you into another realm. ANNA kicks off proceedings with the mesmerising dance floor drama of "Cosmovision" feat. Ravid, label staple Colyn takes you deep into the aether on the melodic bliss of "Unstable Gravity Alert" and esteemed German producer Recondite takes you on a descent further down the spiral on the brooding "Runner". Elsewhere, representing the new school, the ascendant Kevin de Vries nails that perfect main room techno sound on the epic "Biohazard", as does Innealea with the slinky and hypnotic "Targo", while scene veterans Argy and Dino Lenny represent their vintage with some equally impressive contributions in the form of "Mental Powers" and "Breathe" respectively.

Review: For the 13th time, Dixon has delved into the "unreleased gems" folder on his USB stick and chosen some Secret Weapons to share with Innervisions' fanatical followers. It's a bumper selection this time round too, with no less than 13 previously unheard club workouts to enjoy. The plentiful highlights include, but are no way limited to, the bleeping, electro-clash-goes-tech-house throb of 'Heart Transplant' by David Kochs, the warming wonder that is Woo York's 'Bohemia' (which sounds like Moby's classic remix of Pet Shop Boys 'Miserablism' re-imagined for the Innervisions generation), the hushed late-night sleaze of 'Ruby' by Jonathan Kaspar, and the trance-inducing, big-room ready bustle of Dominik Markz's 'Object in the Mirror'

Review: Just This celebrate their tenth anniversary with X, a compilation that skirts at the edges of ambient, techno and even pop. Those more mainstream elements are audible on Mind Against's epic remix of Blausch's "Brood" while on "Good Old Days", Woo York's thumping electronic groove also features pop vocals. There's a darker side to Just This' canon, and this comes through on Yotam Avni's brooding "Name Dropping" and the low-slung,frazzled groove of Extrawelt's "Ort Und Impuls (Alternate Version)". However, what really shines through are the dreamy techno grooves from Hunter/Game and Sterac's "Hypnotized", a powerful club track that combines firing percussion with seductive, Detroit techno-style bass.

Review: Acclaimed Italian duo Tale Of Us present the third Realm Of Consciousness compilation on Afterlife Recordings. A collection of spellbinding and melodic epics packed full of narratives plus plenty of dancefloor drama awaits with some rather surprising additions too - artist wise. The German hero Recondite serves up the powerful opening track "Savaaq" with its tension and suspense and those soaring melodies, fellow Italians Mind Against team up with Blausch on the hypnotic bliss of "Trust My Eyes" and Ukranian deep techno experts Woo York give us the steely heads down techno of "Discovery". Elsewhere, southern Italians Agents Of Time appear with the adrenalised and entrancing cyclicality of "Superia", frequent Tale Of Us collaborator Vaal takes you deep into the aether on "Weakness Days" and ascendant German Kevin De Vries gets into freefall on the sublime "Phoenix"

Review: Chasing The Dream is the first artist album on Tale of Us' label and it's an impressive affair. The work of Ukrainian duo Woo York, it stays true to Afterlife's love of melodic electronic music. This is audible on the gentle break beats and warm synth hooks of "More Than a Feeling" and the title track or the windswept "Inception". That said, there is also a darker side to Dream; it first rears its head on the pulsating acid of "Burning With You" before the pair veer into the throbbing, epic "Energy Pulse" and drop tough kicks and the purring bass menace of "Kadastre". However, they really impress on the record's more melodic moments, and the soft-burning hooks of "Rise" shows that Woo York and Afterlife are masters of the art of the melodic.

Review: For the fourth instalment of its From The Vault series, Paul Boex' label opts for a less banging than usual approach. Area Forty One's 'Sunday Morning cut' of Abstract Division's "Deformation" sets the tone for the release with its deep groove, while Deepbass & Ness come together to create the rolling groove and atmospheric tones of "Flight 103". Stefan Vincent's contribution, "Aro", is similarly deep, with some tropical samples embedded in its lithe rhythm, while remixers Milton Bradley and Delta Funktionen also use the opportunity to take Abstract Division on a more esoteric path. In the case of the former, it is articulated on the churning, dubby "Shifted Reality", while on the latter's re-work of "Floating Point", a jerky, angular rhythm prevails.

Review: Tale of Us launch their Afterlife label in style with the Realm of Consciousness compilation. Bringing together some of the best-known names in contemporary techno as well as a group of newcomers, it moves effortlessly between esoteric moods. Tale of Us contribute the ambient intro, while Monoloc and Woo York are both in more mellow form than usual on the melodic "Phoenix" and "Poseidon" respectively. Meanwhile, Recondite contributes the sad melodies and throbbing bass of "Murphy's Law" and Locked Groove balances supernaturally beautiful hooks with powerful bass pulses on "Emeralds". Even more dance floor-focused tracks, like Obscure Shape & SHDW's "Die Wiederkehr", are filled with trancey melancholia.

Review: For their latest release on Soma, Ukrainian duo Woo York ventures deep into sci-fi territory. Like the seminal film of the same name, "Bladerunner" is futuristic affair. Reminiscent of the pointillist approach of Terrence Dixon, it sees the pair drop a tapestry of subsonic bleeps over a stripped back, minimal groove, making for an arrangement that is hypnotic and functional. "Phantom" is less esoteric and more direct as a mean, lean rhythm rides over sleek, metallic percussive bursts. Zadig has been commissioned to do a remix of the title track and rises to the occasion with an intense, storming take that brings Woo York's sound to a more visceral place.

![I Am Against (Inc A [Phase] Remix)](https://imagescdn.junodownload.com/150/CS2503343-02A.jpg)
Review: Despite being over two hundred releases old, Soma has lost none of its A&R skills. This is the second EP on the label from Ukraine duo Woo York and it's an impressive release. The title track is a raw slice of techno, its dense, seemingly impenetrable groove containing waves of noise, burning acid splurges and, by contrast, lithe percussive licks. "In The End" is a swaggering, stepping affair; it is based on dense drums and dubby kicks, but at its core there is a haunting hook that serves to offset the intensity. Soma can't be faulted for its choice of remixer and Phase delivers a dark, pulsing take on the title track.

Review: Not only is it a product of its past achievements, Planet Rhythm is pushing things forward, with Woo York emerging as the label's biggest talent. The Ukrainian duo took over Planet Rhythm headquarters as the label's proprietors and spent no time at all making their mark, releasing this delicious slice of acid, techno, ambient, progressive gloriousness almost immediately. From the abstract TB-303-ish structures of "Acid Rain", through the building peaks of "Analogue Swamp", a perfect example of stripping functional techno, to "Come Closer"'s uplifting trance-like melodies and the closing sequence of "Strobe 1", this record is shaping up to be Woo York's strongest releases to date.

Review: Ukranian techno manipulators Woo York have taken brutal beats and in their own light way, incorporated beautifully crisp, light production to create a total sphere of sound and texture. Pushing through with the gradual intensity of progressive techno but the encroaching agoraphobia of minimal, "Smoke Signal" is a thing of beauty. "Cold Welding" brings on that doomy 2am sound, gathering softly-softly until you barely notice the thundering changes that have occurred. It's a perfect release, what more can we say?

Review: This duo from the Ukraine have put out a string of excellent hard-edged techno records on Planet Rhythm and Mutex - now they make the next move up with a record for Soma. The Scottish label may not seem like the obvious home for their driving rhythms, but the title track sees Woo York open up their sound; while the same droning rhythms prevail, the trancey chord sequence, which builds and builds through the arrangement, marks out a more accessible sound. "Solar Diet" sees them return to a tougher approach, with pile-driving industrial rhythms fused with harsh, metallic drums to create an intense sound.

Review: Hailing from Kiev, Woo York make techno that is refreshing, at times almost naive-sounding. On Vacuum, this is most audible on the title track, where epic chords build and build to a dramatic peak. Finnish producer Samuli Kemppi is more subtle in his approach, with his version led by skipping rhythms and a more hypnotic interpretation of the original track's chords. The focus of Unbalance's version is darker and more malevolent, as a churning metallic rhythm and layers of acid are fused. But the last word is left up to the Ukrainian duo, who deliver 'Oka', an acid-laced, tranced out groove reminiscent of Speicher's finest back catalogue.

Review: Innervate's latest offering provides an insight into how modern techno and house producers have assimilated, magpie-like, previous styles and tropes while forging their own identities. While Larix's "Phantom" is the most conventional of the pack, its reverberating filters provide a glimpse of late 90s party techno influences, Kereni's "Major Bass" has a more contemporary flavour, with microscopic beats and doubled up rhythms. However, it's Woo York's "Batiskaf" that provides the real revelation. Sounding like an update on the dark drums sound of late 90s prog, the use of an ominous droning, filtered bassline also gives "Batiskaf" a truly contemporary feeling.
