Review: After years of releasing uncompromising, bleepy minimal techno, Finland's Samuli Kemppi finally steps up to the album format with this twelve-track collection for M_Rec. Existing in the same mind state as Robert Hood and Daniel Bell, Kemppi's distinction comes through his embrace of atmospherics and a willingness to disorientate. "250 Days" represents one of the most immediate cuts on the album with its snappy synth riffs, while the likes of "Agitated" represent the chunkier side of his sound. There is also space here for some ambient experimentation as on "Water Lake", but by and large this is a collection of proper techno tracks for those who like it stern and slender.

Review: Milanese techno outpost M_Rec continue to flex hard in 2014, with its seventh release so far this year introducing the talents of US newcomer Allen. Some four tracks deep, the Gravity Assist EP suggests Chris Allen is keenly attuned to the future glancing sounds that characterised much of techno's first wave and how to translate that approach in a manner appealing to the modern techno selectors and collectors. In the case of the opening title track, it's the laser-like bassline that pulses with kinetic energy, with Allen wisely keeping the rhythmic elements to a minimum. The subsequent "EM26" is reminiscent of Something In The Sky era Mills, whilst "MH370" pairs morse code style bleeps with trimmed drum textures. Final track "Kepler" sees Allen unleash something approaching a brooding techno monster to round out a confident debut from this newcomer.

Review: It's been a while since we've seen FSG in full flight and for M_Rec they really take off. But they're not high flying, instead they burrow down with rigid Ancient Methods styled drums and a freaked out synth shot which continually morphs like a blob with a brain of its own. Things get more industrial on "Levity" as its groove falls out of rhythm with the beats but it works, especially during the breakdown, while "Learned" is a caustic slab of dubby club techno. One for concrete clubs that's fore sure.

Review: There must be something in the water up in northern Europe: following in the proud tradition started by seminal 90s minimal label Sahko and the weird soundscapes of Biosphere is Finnish techno producer Samuli Kemppi. With releases in the past few years on Prologue, Komisch, Luke Slater's Mote Evolver and the mighty Ostgut - which commissioned him to appear on Marcel Dettmann's mix CD - Samuli's star is in the ascent thanks to his distinctive brand of spooky, spaced out techno. Certainly, this release on the oddly named M-Rec Ltd Cue label will win him more praise, thanks to his ability to tease new shapes out of previous narratives. Both "Bang" and "Crunch" reverberate to the sound of thundering claps and slamming, stripped back rhythms. Both are testament to Samuli's skills as a techno producer, but neither prepare the listener for the second half of the release. "Bounce" features more musical pads, but the track's most distinguishing feature is its panning, insistent hook that sounds like an update of Dave Angel's 1992 classic, "Bounce Back". Changing tact completely, Kemppi finishes with "Expand", a gloriously evocative synth piece that sounds like he's following the northern lights' path through the cosmos.
