Review: Destination Detroit via Japan, Fumi and Watanabe pay homage to the foundations with this beautifully constructed slice of melodic techno. Sitting somewhere between Rolando (circa Knights Of The Jaguar) and Carl Craig, it's peppered with enough keys, strings and counter melodies that you'll hear something new on every listen from now until 2049. Remix-wise Number 19 Music's Eric Volta strips back the elements and adds a lolloping, tripped-out charm to proceedings with great effect. Think Ivan Smagghe circa mid-2000s. Timeless.
Review: Berlin's Jonas Saalbach has released previously on the likes of Einmusika, Moodmusic, Save Us, Musik Gewinnt Freunde and Bedrock; get a load of that! To further prove he's on a roll, he now appears on Sasse's esteemed Moodmusic imprint with "Atar", a deep and melodic journey track that gallops through the darklands like a dark horse for fans of the Life & Death sound, complete with wonky synth leads galore! Second offering "Sapphire" is just as mysterious and atmospheric but shows much more restraint with its slow broken beat, sinister evolving pads plus evil bells supported by some captivating sound design.
