Review: Boysnoize may be seen as a mainstream label by some, but it was one of the first outlets to champion the work of Djedjotronic over a decade ago. Since then, the French artist has released a large amount of work on the imprint, each time with a defiantly underground sound. Boish is no different; it starts with the title track's bleak, rolling ebm groove. "Rusted" is slower and more stripped back, but there is understated power on display in the low-slung rhythm. Most impressive however is "Global Surveillance": pitched-down vocals ride acid-drenched, pounding 808s, while nocturnal rave stabs drop from overhead.
Review: French producer Djedjotronic recently relocated to Berlin where his productions have taken a steelier turn ever since. Heavily aligned with the mighty Boysnoize label, his Drum Program EP typically doesn't waste time on niceties; "Traffic" sounds like Drexciya battling Cybotron in the Tech Noir club from Terminator, there's industrial/EBM influences on the Teutonic "Rotten", whilst the heavily percussive title track displays a hint of ghetto tech. "Mongolito" is sparse, spaced out techno and "LSD" wraps things up with a emotive nod to early Metroplex releases. Essential techno, or is it electro, or both? Probably the latter, but definitely essential.
