Review: Morbeck's label unleashes the seventh instalment of its Golden Circle compilation. Opening the release is VTXODVI's pounding Frankfurt Trax-style "Remembrance of You", while Stefano Morretti keeps the intensity levels up with the rave stabs and insistent percussion of "Lighting Up The Night" and label regular Under Black Helmet also mines the 90s for inspiration with the crystalline hooks and pounding kicks on "Summer Snow". While the focus is on the dance floor throughout, each contributor to Golden Circle brings something different to the compilation, including Nebula's combination of break beats and tripped out synths on "Rezystor" and Morbeck's collaboration with Schwan, the acid-peppered, banging "Same But Different".

Review: According to Berlin imprint Code Is Law "every decade a discourse between futuristic movements and retro aesthetics is taking place". And we couldn't think of a more perfect way to describe their meeting of the city's old school versus new school on this brilliant label compilation. Highlights not limited to WYAD's mysterious and arpeggio driven intro "The Lost Tape", the buzzing, broken beat industrial of Marnyc's "Electric Dogs" or the fierce dark side electro of Specta's "Common Talk" (a real highlight). There's some more established names appearing too as we mentioned earlier, such as the Vault Series affiliated Morbeck with the loopy and cyclical "Husky" and Stuttgart legend Janzon with the acid infused peak time stormer "Poetry In Motion". This is fierce!
