Review: Mind Games follows David Gtronic and Reboot's collaborative release earlier this year on Into The Wizard's Sleeve. Maintaining the same approach as that EP, it sees the duo blur the lines between techno, breaks and electro. "Leave Your Body" revolves around rolling break beats, with a sample of a sound system MC adding to its otherworldly aesthetic. "Loose" is more electro focused, as a frazzled bass and robotic vocals come together against acid-soaked drums. The title track sees them explore a deeper sound, with a stream of consciousness vocal unravelling over a fuzzy bassline. "Orlando Bass" continues this theme, resounding to breathy sound scapes and deliciously trippy tones.
Review: Detroit's Filthiest makes a powerful return with his first EP on Motor City Electro Company in seven years, Hell Hath No Fury. This release dives deep into the darker side of his sound, blending his unique take on electro and drum & bass across four tracks. From the gritty, speaker-shaking energy of "Killer Instinct" and "The Evil Within," both set at a pounding 140 BPM, to the intense, fast-paced drive of "As I Lay Dying" at 160 BPM, each track is primed to ignite dance floors. Hell Hath No Fury is a thrilling, action-packed collection that proves Detroit's Filthiest remains a force to be reckoned with.
Mochakk & Tommy Genesis - "No Boys Allowed" (Street mix) - (3:58) 130 BPM
Review: For the second instalment of Locomotiva Ibiza 2099, Mochakk hooks up with Tommy Genesis. In its 'OG House' version, "No Boys Allowed" features the Canadian rapper freestyling over a rolling house groove. The fluid rhymes build in concert with Mochakk's building chords and subtle pads, making for a fresh new take on hip house. "No Boys Allowed" is also available in a 'Street' version, where Mochakk goes deeper. Dropping understated, rolling drums and textured synths, these elements provide the backdrop for Genesis' rapping. In keeping with the spirit of collaboration, Mochakk hooks up with Artisian for "Estribeira". Its rattling, percussive rhythm and splurging bass are fused with police sirens and chopped up vocal samples - in stark contrast to the house sound of the original "No Boys..."
Review: Polybot may be a new name, but Future Vision is an assured release that traverses techno and electro styles. "System Error" is powered by a stepping rhythm, rolling drums and a surging bass. It sounds like the kind of low-slung track that Cultivated Electronics releases. "Human Hybrid" sees Polybot fuse stirring organ playing with acid builds - with this combination playing out over hollowed out kicks. "Mean Machine" sees Polybot veer towards electro. The combination of sub-bass and tweaked 303s is made more powerful thanks to tough supporting drums. Rounding off the release is the mysterious "Not So Sample", where eerie synths and a metallic rhythm prevail.
