MonsterBangersOnly
The BangersOnly crew have done a great job of assembling six absolute heaters here as they welcome the ever-ready Justin Jay inside to showcase the full range of his dancefloor capabilities. 'Monster' kicks us off with a choppy sweep through hard core synths and constantly revolving drum slaps, with the heavy low ended kick pulses of 'I Make' and more dungeon-inspired percussion of 'Go Up' alongside Berg then sending us down a newly booming avenue. It gets very vibrant from here on out, with 'Chloe' unloading a box of synthetic wizardry, keeping every listener firmly on their toes before the acidic moog pulses of 'Coming Back' and jittering 4x4 textures of 'Zappy' see the EP out in style.

PushSalat
Salat follows the release of Fine Line this summer with a more techno-focused EP. The title track resounds to pummelling kicks and a throbbing bass pulse. Adding to this robotic sensibility is a repetitive vocal sample looped through the arrangement. It makes for an exhilarating club track. On "Over the Hills", Salat opts for a different approach. With a focus on concrete weight, pummelling kicks and a rolling rhythm, it sounds inspired by the dance floor electro output of late 90s/early 00s pioneers like Biochip C or Decal. Once again, Salat's productions deserve praise for following the road less travelled.

Tanzhaus EPPlanet Rhythm
Over the past few years, Deas has built up a catalogue of impressive releases on CLR, Second State and Planet Rhythm. He returns to the long-running techno label for Tanzhaus, a collection of tough tracks, designed for the club. "Black Air" resounds to swathes of dark percussion and insistent tonal sequences. "Cut" is just as impactful, but sees Deas take a different approach. Led by ominous synth lines and a frazzled bass, it draws on hardcore influences, putting them in a modern context. "Dark Line" marks another change in approach; focused on a fusion of building tonal sequences and a clubby groove, its pared back approach hits the peak time target. The title track isn't as hard-hitting, but Deas' use of ghostly synths and insistent tones is nothing short of incendiary.

Tribe Vibes EPBeard Man
The always consistent Mark Broom returns to his Beard Man label with this hard-hitting release. The title track is inspired by late 90s loop techno. Centred on a fast-paced, rolling groove and firing, pitch-bent percussion, it sees Broom layer in dramatic, surging chords. On "Central", he goes down a more visceral route. Led by a jittery rhythm and bleak synth stabs, it is redolent of Robert Hood's minimalism - an influence that bubbles to the surface on the track's cheese-wire percussion. The release contains two fine remixes. Gene Richards Jr's slamming, sample-heavy take on the title track is sure to approve to the house heads, while the dub take of "Tribe Vibes" delivers a lean, rolling version.

Trance Trax Vol 4Hooj Choons
The fourth instalment of Trance Trax provides a mixture of contemporary artists reshaping classic material from the Hooj Choons vault alongside new material. Fantastic Man lends some contemporary drums and atmospheric stylings to his reshape of Frontier Man's "Express It Thru The Dance". In a similar fashion, the lush melodies of HEO's take on the eternal trance classic "Dream Universe" benefits from tough kicks on Ciaran McAuley's reshape. However, this series doesn't just offer classics: On "Supanova" Jay Farina melds tribal house and evocative Spanish guitar to create a Balearic hybrid. Meanwhile, Hansgod's "Heya" offers up a modern fusion of house and trance, as soaring pads are fused with an acidic groove.

Parallel ContentRemain
Axel Karakasis returns to his Remain imprint with this varied, hard-hitting release. The title track kick starts Parallel Content with a combination of tough tribal drums, steely percussion and dramatic, building filters that screech in like a jet breaking the sound barrier. These elements come together to deliver a killer dance floor sucker punch. "Uncultivated" sees Karakasis focus again on a pummelling rhythm, which provides the platform for grating riffs. "Singularity" sees the Greek artist deliver another peak time banger - this time it's centred on a driving arrangement, repetitive chord stabs and snare rolls that create spine-tingling crescendos. "Sensible Manner" sees Karakasis again deploy impactful percussion; this time, it's aligned to a dense, rolling groove.
