Review: On their debut album, Rotor Militia do what so many techno producers aspire to - they take their audience on a journey. The glitchy texture of "Acoustic Movements" kick start the long player, before the pair drop the tough, industrial techno of "Clean Cuts" and "Pulsar". It would be challenging to maintain this intensity for a long period, and the dreamy ambience of "Lightfields" and the broken beats of "Teer" steer Polar Vortex from the dance floor. It's only a temporary reprieve though. "Obsidian" and "Vacuum" are tough, filter-heavy workouts, while on "Angular Velocity", they deliver a peak-time, feedback-drenched banger. Rounding off this fine, exhilarating debut, the pair deliver the droning sound scapes of "Stratospheric Clouds".
Review: Just in case his recent album Isoclusion wasn't quite enough DJ Hidden action for us all, the experimental Dutch hardliner now serves up a huge collection of remixes from tracks of his over the years. Featuring reboots from across the spectrum - from Pythius and Redpill to Limewax - each cut adds a whole new lease of life to the originals. Those looking for unrelenting brain-mushing freakery will be all over the remixes from the likes off Katharsys, Ophidian and The Outside Agency while those looking for some interesting departures from the usual Hidden hammer and tongs will be interested in the DNGN DRGNS remix of 'Sigs Of A Time' and his own VIP take on 'Nightmare Connector'.
