Review: The Broken Robot crew continue to melt down the boundaries with these two distinctive 4/4 originals from Israeli duo Split & Jaxta. "Species" is a timeless example of dancefloor hypnosis; tying the tendrils between psy trance and tech house, it's peppered with crisp mind-locking flourishes while retaining a solid, bass-laden kick drum groove. "Nu Normal" continues this deep tech motif by way of a weighty-but-subtle swing that's as deep as it is heavy. With less psychedelic flourishes and sparkles, focus is kept firmly on the rich rhythmic properties. Finally Broken Eye gets wild on the remix tip with a rub that wouldn't have sounded amiss on Lot49 or Bedrock 10 years ago when Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes were ruling the roost, only it's been carved with the sharpest modern production knives. Need we say more?

Meaning
Meaning (original mix) - (6:51) 130 BPM
Meaning (Bad Tango remix) - (7:01) 130 BPM Hot
Moulded From Faults (original mix) - (6:14) 128 BPM
Review: Devonian synth-making soundblaster Motna has looked back to mid-90s trance for inspiration on "Meaning". Think Hooj. Think Platipus. This is subtle, understated and utterly spellbinding. For added tech funk swing head for the Bad Tango remix. Enriching the groove with extra textural elements and more of a syncopated swagger on the drum arrangement, Bad Tango has executed the perfect facelift. Motna completes the set with his own "Moulded From Faults". Following similar suit to "Meaning", it's another crystalline sonic narrative that tiptoes playfully into funk pastures while remaining wholly progressive. Pristine.

Collective EP
Indigo - (5:56) 136 BPM Hot
Collective EP - (6:16) 135 BPM
Activation - (7:28) 135 BPM
Review: Southampton-based sound conjurer Snook returns to Broken Robot for another clam-tight trio of bass-heavy ball busters. "Indigo" is a tricked out triplet jam riddled with a confident swing and bold bulbous bass. "Collective" flips the switch with a groove that's so direct and penetrative it's borderline psy-flavoured in its head-bending, rolling insistency. "Activation" continues to prove Snook's dexterity and creativity as we're thrown face-first into a warped halfstepper that oozes slippery liquid bass and intricate SFX twists.

In The Shadows
In The Shadows - (6:49) 127 BPM Hot
In The Shadows (Broken Eye remix) - (8:21) 134 BPM

Review: Neurodriver rolls out another techno timebomb that's guaranteed to explode at myriad festivals this summer. Polished with near-perfect EQ craft, the distorted bass stomp rises, rises and rises some more before DJ Fresh Live frontman Messy dons his demonic head and lets loose with some headbending lyricisms. For more of a gritty breakbeat flavour head for Broken Eye's remix. Grizzly!

Review: Following a successful summer season rocking festival crowds at the likes of Glade, Life and Waveform, Cambridge breakbeat producer Will Railton delivers his new EP on Broken Robot Records. His award-winning 'unique squelchy sound' is present and correct on "Enyzyme" which is a slice of forward-think psychedelic acid-techno. B-side, "Mulitverse" on the other hand, owes more to bass-heavy French electro-house.
