Review: UK producer Darkmode has been a proponent of high-paced Detroit dance music for nigh on a decade, and this release will do his reputation no harm. "The Love Machine" could be his version of Kevin Saunderson's Resse and E-Dancer work as eerie pads tumble and unfold over a prowling, predatory bass. "MC60" meanwhile is inspired by Detroit's electro legacy, with gurgling 303 licks copper-fastened to shuffling 808s. But it's Darkmode's own interpretations that sound the most impressive; "Techno Has Soul" unites eerie strings with a relentless filter and a heavy juggernaut of a bassline, while "Deep Impact" is a high-paced amalgamation of acid trax and thunderous-clap led techno funk.
