Efdemin / Various
Review: Efdemin's 2008 mix CD on Curle, Carry On - Pretend We're Not In The Room showed that he was as adept and inventive behind the decks as he was in the studio. A decade later, the same holds true for the follow-up mix, Naif, but this time the boundaries are more blurred. Consisting of 29 unreleased tracks - 10 from the German producer himself and 19 from like-minded artists - the selection runs the gamut, from the hazy, abstract tones of WaWuWe's "Beams" and DIN's noisy "Glide", into hypnotic dance floor techno such as "Laveline", Efdemin's bleep-y collaboration with Konrad Springer, the glorious mid-tempo minimal roller "Watte" - recorded as Sollmann & Gurtler and then 'versioned' by Efdemin and expansive dub tracks from Pom Pom and Marco Shuttle.

Review: Curle has had a long association with Efdemin; back in 2008, it released the German DJ's mix CD, Carry On - Pretend We Are Not In The Room, a benchmark mix for deep house and techno lovers. Fast forward a decade and the Belgian label is now releasing remixes of Efdemin's best material. First up is Terrence Dixon's take on "America" (which featured on the Carry On mix CD). Billed as a 'Minimal Detroit' mix, it's a slow-paced, head-nodding affair that features the vocal buried deep in the mix. Efdemin's best-known production, "Acid Bells" also gets the remix treatment. While the original was a blissful, tripped out affair, this take by DJ Koze is all grinding percussion and noisy drums.

Review: "Deeper" was originally featured on Matthew Herbert's Part Two EP, way back in 1996. Since then, that particular 12" has become something of an in-demand item, with the lead cut naturally attracting the most attention. This issue of "Deeper" contains Herbert's original in all its glory - think loopy, low-slung, jazz-flecked hypo-house with woozy, early morning breakdowns - and a fresh remix from label-hopping producer Stuart Li under his familiar Basic Soul Unit alias. He subtly beefs up and speeds up the track, adding some Detroit-influenced keys and fizzing new percussion. The result is a tasty techno revision that pays due reverence to Herbert's thrilling original.

Review: Philip McGarva aka Microworld isn't exactly prolific and has only put out 3 records in the past 20 years. It seems that he is going through an especially productive patch at the moment and Signals follows Orange Sun from earlier this year also released on Curle. A similar approach underpins this latest record. "Smile" is a master class in deep techno; led by chiming bells and raw claps it sees McGarva deliver a serene composition. On the title track the mood is markedly different; a wiry high-paced funk bass and jazzy drums underpin a descent into the kind of warm chord climax last heard on vintage Dave Angel.

Review: Orange Sun is Philip McGarva's first release in six years, but it shows that he hasn't lost his ability at crafting the kind of individualistic deep techno that he made his name with on Transmat and Styrax Leaves. On "Step Sequence", the Australian artist weaves together a lithe but complex rhythm, the percussion chattering like grasshoppers on a baking hot day. The title track puts a focus on melodies, with warm, gentle chords unfolding over broken beats. "Grey Melody" revolves around a similar premise; the groove is more dance floor friendly, but the melodies, based on warm synths, conjure up feelings of detachment and melancholy. Deep techno's most singular artist has returned in style.

Review: Following on from last year's superb releases on Entropy Trax, US producer Gavin Russom shows a tougher, bleaker side. In its most extreme iteration there's the tough drums and acid-soaked percussive rattle of "Trashing Truth", while "All Souls (NYC Mix)" is a master-class in freeform jamming, evolving from an insistent, stab-heavy rhythm into a bleep-heavy denouement. Best of all though is the lead track, "Punisher". Clocking in at close to a quarter of an hour, it sees Russom draw on a similar approach to last year's "Enthroned", with spacey textures and soundscapes unfolding over a resonating, lead-weight bass.
