Review: On its third and final instalment, We Are Not Alone delivers more cutting edge electronic music from the artists who guested at the party of the same name. This volume is hugely varied, ranging from Ryan James Ford's uplifting deep techno to the underground pulses of Lada's "Kassi" and Heidi Sabertooth's "Innergaze". Sounding a more visceral note is Henning Baer's "Nightwing Microlight" and the hard-jacking analogue banger "Basic" by Truncate, while Setaoc Mass' "Silent Tension" is led by cavernous drums. Sandwiched in between these dance floor burners are more offbeat pieces, like Cosmin TRG's gentle, downbeat "Sourde" and the wonderful drones of "Chaos Transition" from Adriana Lopez.

Review: This is Ellen Allien's eighth studio album, but she shows no signs of losing her edge, Right from the get-go on Alientronic, the listener is presented with the swirling ambiance of "Empathy", followed by the spiky electro of "MDMA". Fans of the Bpitch Control owner's heady techno will not be disappointed either, thanks to the inclusion of the frazzled "Bowie In Harmony" and "Love Distortion". "Electronic Joy" is also centered on the dance floor, but it sees Allien re-kindle her love of dense tribal techno, while "Free Society" revisits the glory years of German techno-trance. It serves to underline the fact that Allien's productions still have an edginess not tainted by the passage of time.

Review: Following the first set of remixes of tracks Ellen Allien's 2017 album - which featured Detroit luminary K.Hand amongst others - the Bpitch boss again casts her gaze wide and far. US producer Truncate delivers the loopy, big-room techno goods with his steely, percussive take on "Innocence", while Running Back boss Gerd Jansen turns "Call Me" into an early-90s themed hardcore meets house affair, its sirens wailing over raw break beats. FaltyDL is on hand to transform "Erdmond" into a spaced out, low-profile techno groove, replete with a command centre count down, while Raster Not on regular Kyoka goes for an frazzled, stepping take on "Call Me".

Review: Allien released Nost earlier this year, and it was one the Bpitch boss' best albums. Now she has drafted in a heavyweight roster of artists to remix tracks from it. First up is Emmanuel Top, who is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. The French producer's take on "Call Me" sees him drop a slamming, metallic rhythm and turn Allien's vocals into a mysterious alien signal. Rod's take on "Mind Journey" is more functional than esoteric, and revolves around a dense, percussive rhythm, while Detroit veteran K.Hand also gets to grips with "Call Me". She goes straight for the jugular, dropping punchy drums and a pulsating, acid-heavy bass. Skudge are the final remixers on this instalment, and their version of "Mind Journey" is different again, its skipping rhythm full of atmospheric textures.

Review: Nost is Ellen Allien's seventh studio album, and it's the first one since 2010's Dust to focus on the dance floor. As each track demonstrates, this is the place where the Berlin DJ really belongs. The album begins with the rolling groove, pitch-bent male vocal and eerie synths of "Mind Journey" and the queasy bass of "Innocence", before Allien opts for a more raw option, audible on the stab-heavy "Jack My Ass" and "Call Me", which unfolds to rolling sabres and air-raid sirens. Unlike some of her previous albums, there is no high concept on Nost - as the firing, building techno of "Mma" shows, it is simply a collection of killer club tracks.

Review: Sydney-based Brit Garry Todd won plenty of praise for his 2015 debut album, Nora Lilian. Here he returns to BPitch Control for the first time in nearly 12 months with a fresh batch of Berlin-friendly dancefloor jams. There's much to admire throughout, from the mutant spoken word vocals, locked-in rhythms and undulating electronic motifs of "Mind's Eye (Stripped Mix)", to the spiraling, swirling, up-tempo tech-house trip of "Take Control". Arguably best of all, though, is "Dream For You", a 21st century take on vintage Mr Fingers featuring the Robert Owens style vocals of Posthuman collaborator Josh Caffe. For those who prefer vocal-free grooves, he's also included an instrumental version of the same cut.

Review: More bass driven house and techno from a true Berlin master, PHON.O, following up the absolute belter that was the Afterglow EP on Tectonic earlier this year. Starting out with the catchy Middle Eastern style strings attack of also powered by a tough 808 drum groove; this emotive number is pure fire. "Brooklyn Shuffle" borrows strongly from UK garage with its uplifting key stabs and 2-step rhythm. Finally he closes this great collection of tracks out with the melancholic and bittersweet title track. Going down the deep house route and done well using creamy pads, a swing fuelled rhythm and haunting vocal samples; this one ticks all the right boxes.

Review: Berlin hero Phon.o is back! After a horde of releases on 50Weapons and most recently Bristol institution Tectonic with the Afterglow EP, Carsten Aermes turns up on B Pitch Control. First offering "Run" gallops away aggressively with its fierce bass pulsations and booming beat supported by Middle Eastern string samples. "Brooklyn Shuffle" starts off smooth, with a pop inflected vibe until the four to the floor beat comes rushing in beneath that funky house keyboard melody. It creates such a wonderful contradiction. Finally "Fractions" is straight up house with its dusty swing fuelled beat keeping pace with a killer breakbeat plus pop vocals and of course, no compromise on the bass!

Review: Miami's Jesse Perez follows in the tradition of his hometown's musical legacy ie: seriously bass driven dance music for freaks. He teams up with the west coast don of electro Egyptian Lover on "Cell Phones" fuelled by some fierce and funky breaks beneath a collage of hip hop samples that will appeal to a wide cross range of DJs. "Twerk Machine" will have you doing exactly that, right after the sick drop; bumpy and funky minimal tech house in the vein of Jamie Jones or Jey Kurmis plus those breaks make a welcome comeback. Finally "The One Two Checka" re-asserts that breakbeats are his main strength once more, these ones come at you fierce like a wall of sound; check it!

Review: Highly engineered tech house for the majority of Berlin dancefloors by Englishman via Sydney Garry Todd following up his well-received debut album on B Pitch Control last year. "Time Goes On" is a pumping and adrenalised groove for the peak time at Ritter Butzke with Nat Page's epic vocals. "Go Green" is an epic journey track with rich, swirling and immersive synths and pads hypnotising you into submission: there's a lot going on in this track that's for sure. Finally the extended version of "Anniversary Track" gets all sombre and mysterious on us with yet more layers of rich pads and strings doing most of the work effectively well over a sturdy beat.

Review: Brit by way of Sydney, Garry Todd has released EPs previously on Contemporary Scarecrow and Illusion, however his debut album arrives on Berlin institution Bpitch Control; he's really hit the big time now! Named after his late grandmother, Nora Lilian, his long player is 11 cuts of atmospheric and adrenalised tech house that will rock just as many dancefloors in Berlin as it will in London. The vocal led energy of opening track "Time Goes On" starts things in spectacular fashion, as does the pre peak time groove of "Terri-Lee" which still retains some great atmosphere. "Motives & Thoughts" or "Transcending" are tripped out and deeper, but strictly for the afterhours. The tracks towards the end of the album go for the more dreamier and ethereal vibes of Kompakt or Crosstown Rebels. There's some a wide range of mood and grooves on this one, Todd's done well here!

Review: Greek house auteur Argy has been through many faces and phases. From starting out on Poker Flat making some sweet minimal grooves, to stints making techno on labels like Ibadan to his pop inflected house tendencies of recent times. Now some tracks off his recent Dominonation album (in collaboration with vocalist Mama) on B Pitch Control get the remix treatment. Man of the moment Alan Fitzpatrick lends his hand to "Without Me" giving it just the right amount of attitude for those pre peak time moments. The Mike Starr remix of "Without Me" is pretty neat; a bass driven deep house workout that reflects his time honing his skills in NYC, London and now Berlin. Finally Keinemusik label boss Rampa's remix of "Who Am I" is the kind of dreamy and spiritual deep house reminiscent of Osunlade's Yoruba Records. Feel the vibe!

Review: Camea Hoffman, or simply known as Camea around the club circles, first appeared back during the mid-noughties on Clink Music, and although she's been more active as of late, the German producer has preferred to keep things sparse and discrete when it comes to releasing tunes. She returns to Ellen Allien's BPitch Control with "The Hallway", a mid-tempo techno bomb surrounded by heavily processed sonics and driven by a deadly kick-hat groove. The title-track is backed by the aqueous, minimal sway of "Wormhole", and "Orchestra Of Dreams", another watery excursion with an electro edge. Nice and solid, a certified thumbs up!

Review: Fast-rising Belfast producer Garry McCartney aka Ejeca delivers a killer release for Ellen Allien's label. McCartney's skill lies in drawing on established house tropes and putting his own spin on it. "Charger" sounds like a textbook deep house tune, with its flowing chords and insistent groove, but then it veers off course with a series of blaring sirens. "Bound To The Pump" is in a similar vein, but on this occasion, Ejeca utilises firing percussion and insistent vocal snatches to stand out from the slew of samey deep house. Meanwhile, "4Mula" and "Swey" sees him strip back his sound and focus on swinging, primal rhythms, with the latter impressing most.

Review: Ellen Fraatz must be one of the hardest-working women in dance music. She's been making music for 20 years, now, and there's little sign of the quality dropping. There's predictably much to admire on this brand new three-tracker, from the melancholic chords, impassioned vocal wails and electro-influenced grooves of opener "Butterfly", to the wonky, late night tech-house assault of "Come To Me", whose distorted synths and sludgy bottom-end are complimented by distinctly foreboding chords. Best of all, though, is "Freak The Night", a jaunty fusion of deep house, acid and tech-house complete with warm, woozy chords, shuffling rhythms and punchy electronics.

Review: Globetrotting Australian producer Garry Todd apparently divides his time between Ibiza and Sydney, "chasing the sun" in a bid to keep his Vitamin D levels in the red. You can certainly tell the White Isle influence on this four-tracker for BPitch Control. Lead cut "Onit" sounds like it was tailor-made for dark, immersive, late night moments at colossal Ibizan clubs - Cocoon parties, perhaps - while the bumpin', hissing groove underpinning the thunderous "Feelin" comes on like a Space terrace anthem in waiting. The long, drawn-out chords, cyber grooves and oddball samples that make up "LSD Experience" are undeniably Balearic in feel, as is the loose, swinging, rush-inducing lucidity of the similarly wide-eyed "Dreamcatcher".

Review: Despite a career stretching back to 2002, Italian duo System of Survival have been surprisingly quiet of late. This expansive EP for BPitch Control contains their first new material since 2012 debut album Needle & Thread. High on melody and atmosphere, it delivers plenty of highlights. Check, for example, the loose percussion, curious cut-ups and tumbling melodies of "Family Ring", the undulating fuzziness and dreamy pads of "I'm Not Able To", and the near Balearic drowsiness of closer "King of the Beats". The EP also includes a couple of notable remixes, with Hot Creations regular Miguel Campbell joining forces with Matt Hughes for a deliciously squidgy, glassy-eyed take on "Crash What".

Review: As its title suggests, the latest compilation on Bpitch gives vent to the label's deeper side. It begins with Chaim's "Rain", where jazzy textures bubble to the surface over dubby beats. The track has an ethereal, almost subdued feeling to it and is in stark contrast to the raucous minimalism that Bpitch is sometimes associated with. This understated approach isn't confined to Chaim's contribution however; even more dance floor tracks like the pumping bass of Cormac's "The Present" are teeming with emotive undercurrents and Kassem Mosse's version of Ellen Alien's "Our Utopie" sees a series of chiming bells prevail over a pumping groove.

Review: Listening to this compilation, it's clear that 2013 was a banner year for Ellen Allien's label. No longer so focused on stripped back techno - although the hissing noise and dark bass tones of Camea's "Black Sparrow" provide some connection to Bpitch's back catalogue - Best Of focuses on the area where pop and electronic music meet. The tumbling drums and plaintive vocals on Eating Snow's "Siamese Twins By Choice" could be early period Sting (that's a compliment by the way), while Dillon's "This Silence Kills" is a beautifully fragile serving of ethereal electronic pop. Bpitch can still rock the house when required, as the nasty acid of Snuff Crew's "Bass" demonstrates, but the real highlights of Best of 2013 are the label's leftfield excursions.

Review: More proof of the growth of the Polish house scene is provided in the shape of a lively, floor-friendly EP from Viadrina, AKA Wroclaw-based Mateusx Kazula and Szczecin's Konrad Slazyk. They're hardly new names - they've already released on a host of labels - but this three-tracker for BPitch is probably their strongest EP to date. "Last Day" offers some woozy, bassy, tactile late night deep house/tech-house fusion - all chiming melodies, ethereal vocals and restless bottom-end - while "Lush Hour" wanders off in a more UK garage-influenced direction whilst retaining an air of deep house warmth. "Lost Soul", arguably the pick of the bunch, rises and falls on a wave of snappy tech-house grooves and wide-eyed electronic melodies.

Review: Simona Calvini is one of Italy's best-known DJs and on Blind, proves that she's fast becoming one of that country's most promising producers. Eschewing straight, linear grooves, this release is based on off-kilter rhythms and stripped back arrangements. On the title track, Calvini uses this approach as a basis for deep chord washes, whispered vocals and hypnotic bleeps. The mood is far less serene on "Look Deep", where murderous bass drops and eerie noises prevail and on "Toy Boy", where a tearing low end is combined with steely electro drums and a stepping rhythm to create a sound that alternates between icy and menacing. But Calvini is most impressive when exploring pure rhythms and the rolling, dubbed out "Awake" is the release's highlight.
