Review: Following last year's collaboration with Ash Code, Ellen Allien returns to her own label with a high-octane two tracker. "Rave Luv" does what its title suggests. Over a galloping groove, Allien weaves in jittery synths and screeching Hoover builds. The end result is a brilliant blend of disconcerting electronics and dance floor dynamism. "Lust" is also designed for club use, but it applies a different approach. Slamming kicks are merged with raw electronics, while dreamy synths play out in the background. It has echoes of the short-lived, early 90s techno-trance sound pioneered by Harthouse - but realised through the Bpitch boss' unique lens.
Review: Exos has been releasing music since the late 90s, including dubbier sounds on the seminal Thule label. Cyber City offers a more frenetic take on techno compared to those early, frazzled excursions. Clocking in at well over 140bpm, "Open Your Mind" is a rave-infused banger that features ponderous vocal samples. "We Are In Control" has a stronger connection to his older work, as dramatic chords swoop in - but in keeping with his current focus, the rhythm barrels along frenetically. "Buzzer" is the most visceral track on offer here. Led by a noisy bass and pounding kicks, it is sure to cause dance floor mayhem.
