Review: Mike Dehnert follows last year's Anlaut with another finely crafted, dynamic release. The title track is exactly the type of angular, distinctive techno that Dehnert is synonymous with, and its pumping rhythm is fused with propulsive metallic percussion for maximum impact. "Endroit" is less typical of the German producer's approach and revolves around incessant, churning filters and a house groove. "Ghostcity" is also atypical for the Fachwerk boss and features chilling strings unravelling over a pumping bass. Despite these artistic variations, nothing beats the classic Dehnert approach, and he articulates this brilliantly on "Medsun", a dense, tightly woven groove that is powered by ticking percussion and a looped synth stab.

Review: New music from Mike Dehnert is always a cause for celebration and Anlaut is no different. It sees the Fachwerk boss break down the structures of modern techno to deliver a distinctive release. "Spacekid" sees him serve up scuffled rhythms and malfunctioning space invader sound effects, while on the title track, he adds layers of acid and fizzing industrial sound effects to a broken down drum track. "Relike" is straighter, with Dehnert reverting to the type of dubbed out groove that both he and his label are renowned for, while on "Feeling Go", an eerie organ riff and spliced up vocals unfold over a stepping rhythm. It demonstrates that when it comes to underground techno, few producers do it better than Dehnert.

Review: Mike Dehnert makes a departure from his usual cavernous dub techno sound on Wexit . "Given Take" is a stripped back, slinky affair, featuring spliced up vocal samples and rickety rhythms, while on "Greenrock", it sounds like the arrangement is submerged in waves of white noise as Dehnert delivers a clanging, metallic groove. On " Kraft", the approach is quite different, as he drops a driving, percussive groove that's led by firing high hats and a squelchy backing track. Meanwhile, "Trible City" has echoes of 90s loop techno as a layered, rolling arrangement is powered by powerful, panning filters. It's a fine release by a producer who is at the top of his game.

Review: Berlin imprint Fachwerk has continually set high standards in techno for nigh on twelve years now. Its output particularly the early 2010's heralded a new era in German techno alongside established local imprints such as Klockworks, Vidab and MDR. It's steely, refined and austere aesthetic is on fine display on the fourth edition of the label's new digital reissue, containing material from the early vinyl releases FW031 - FW038, including unreleased special edits. All the usual suspects appear: label staple Roman Lindau delivers a barrelling rework of UK producer Roberto's "Rings Of Smoke" in proper heads down fashion, the ever impressive Sascha Rydell delivers more reductionist club music executed boldly on "Haptic", label chief Mike Dehnert finely shows off exactly what high-end dub-techno is on "Placide" while label newcomer Jens Tozzberg does ultra deep on the cavernous and glacial hypnotism of "Baritum".

Review: Over the course of a decade, Mike Dehnert's Fachwerk label became synonymous with a defined techno style - steely and functional but also inspired by the spacious dub shapes of Chain Reaction. This third collection of the label's highlights shows just how much Fachwerk's tight collective of artists created this sound, with contributions from just Sascha Rydell, Roman Lindau and Dehnert featuring, and tracks such as Dehnert's "M10"; Rydell's "When You Play It" and Lindau's "Under Pressure" exemplifying the Fachwerk sound.
There are some surprises however: Dehnert's own "Sophia Minus 2 Octave" features vocal snippets amid its grungy acid groove, while the label owner's "Blattwerk" is a steam-rolling metallic groove, but in the main, Fachwerk Part 3 is an impressive synopsis of the Fachwerk sound.

Review: Hot on the heels of the first Fachwerk compilation comes this follow-up instalment. The German label's contribution to underground techno has been considerable over the past decade, and this compilation showcases all aspects of its sound. On one hand, there's deep, dub techno bombs like label owner Mike Dehnert's "KEME" and the swirling chords of his "Dico B1" track, while at a different end of the spectrum, Roman Lindau opens up with the vocal-sampling house track "Adipeux" and the filtered "Sonnerie". On other occasions, Fachwerk offers up a more stripped back, linear take on techno mainly due to Sascha Rydell's contributions - but this release successfully brings together all of these strands in one cohesive manner.
