Review: Fresh from releases on the likes of Program, Addictive Behaviour and Blendits, Manchester operator Release charges headfirst into Trace's legendary Dsci4 imprint with four absolutely brutal tear-ups. All of them armed with a heavy level of gruff, rough-around-the-edges vibe, there's a heavy 90s KO punch to each workout. Highlights include the flighty bongo rolls and dark funk of 'Ill Gotten Gain' and the stern thrust and techno-like charge of 'Step Trot' but the whole EP kicks in a major way.
Review: Almost two decades deep into their legacy, DJ Trace's DSCi4 imprint continues to push science right on the razor's edge. The Spy Technologies compilations have always been something of a flagship release for the label and this pandemic special is no exception. Across 14 tracks we're treated to a future shock of dynamic proportions courtesy of a great range of talents from established to brand new and anonymous. Highlights include the springy, tense 'Microbs' from HLZ, the pneumatic drums and high impact wallops of Soul Intent's 'Foundation', Dynamix's relentless, industrial strength 'Murderation' and the epic finale track from the man DJ Trace himself and Emery - 'Curfew'. Lights out.
Review: Feeling the shivers? You will be... Berlin's "Hypothermia" lands on Trace's DSCI4 and it's a pretty feverish affair. Following his appearances on Delta9, this six-track trove is one of his most comprehensive releases to date. Opening with the classic stripped back fast-lane fury of "Rush" and closing with the bulldozer steppage and swinging, deep brass bassline of "Basement 030", it's a lesson in uncompromising, techno-influenced timeless techstep. Other highlights include the dark soul and vocal snippets on "Sailing Into Darkness" and the sleazy, greasy machine funk of "Cyber Girl". Xenon and on and on... This one's on repeat.
