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.
Review: The second instalment in Bpitch Control's compilation series gets off to a rousing start, with Rebekah dropping a pounding, hardcore-influenced techno track, "Last Summer". The same intensity levels are audible on Inhalt Der Nacht's "In Lust Verirrt" and Tham's "The Third Kind" but deployed differently, with both acts using swirling acid lines and blustery filters to arrive at the same destination. While keeping the focus on the dance floor, ebm influences loom large on "Herzschlag Der Figur" from German trio Die Selektion. The compilation also embraces ghetto techno as Andrew Moore delivers the slamming "That Makes Me So Horny" and big-room 303 mayhem on Alien Rain's "Dream Interceptor".
