Review: Perc teams up with KBK boss Sissel Wincent for one of this year's most memorable techno releases so far. The title track features Perc's typical steel-edged drums and relentless percussion. But what really sets the track apart are Wincent's vocals. Repetitive and hypnotic, they have a nihilistic quality that make "Static" nothing short of compelling. There is an alternate dub version. As its title suggests the main vocal is stripped out. However, Perc retains a fragment of the original vocal and lets it unravel over grainy drums and a pounding, driving rhythm. Even the most purist techno fans are sure to be won over by this release.

Review: Ghost In The Machine returns to Perc Trax, the label that released the duo's 2020 debut album,
Breaking The Seal. From the opening bars of Chase Scene Morality, it's clear that they remain focused on delivering intense, high-octane techno. "Come On" resounds to screeching feedback and crashing break beats, with an insistent vocal sample intoning the track's title. "Ensnared" sees Ghost In The Machine opt for a more linear approach, led by piledriving snares and a sheet metal rhythm. The rolling breaks and menacing sirens that run through "Break" sound almost laid back in comparison, but still pack enough punch to ignite the dance floor.

Review: Striking a balance between label regulars and new artists, the third instalment of the Forever series provides a great snapshot of the hard techno landscape. On "Junkyard Shift", label debutant Somniac One delivers a coruscating, rave riff-infused take on peak time club music. Exos, who is also releasing material for the first time on Perc Trax, inhabits a similar space with the rolling, abrasive "Warlion". Perc's own contribution, "Rotopod", a collaboration with Million, is an intense affair, with the pair dropping dense kicks and intense percussive builds. Meanwhile EAS, who has put out music before on the label, drops an acid-seared banger that's powered by robust break beats.

Review: Aeon Core is the follow-up to Scalameriya's 2016 debut album Hubris and like its predecessor, is a hard-hitting affair. The title track resounds to glitchy stabs and the machine-gun rattle of percussion, with these visceral elements underpinned by an ominous bass. It sets the tone for the rest of the release; "Kiti Kimera" is littered with noisy feedback and dramatic synths playing out against the backdrop of a stomping, ebm-style rhythm track, "Xegatron" is a relentless track that lapses into hardcore-riff powered builds and drops and "Lake Of Wires" sees Scalameriya
drop a glitchy club techno banger. However, it's not all synapse-shattering material and "Celestial" is a hypnotic, droning soundscape.

Review: Following on from 2020's Fire In Negative EP, Perc delivers another storming release. The title track is a peak-time juggernaut, with pummelling kicks underpinning looped vocals, bursts of white noise and shredded percussive bursts. "Resistor" also deploys the human voice, but this time it's a shrieking human voice set to intense alarm bell riffs, with Perc providing a relentless rhythm as the backing. "240 Volts" is less intense, but only by a slight degree; it sees the UK techno producer fuse chilling synth stabs with the kind of intense, pounding kicks that were last heard on Jeff Mills' X-101 release.

The Advent - "Planting Seeds" - (5:11) 139 BPM
Review: Perc's Tracks Of... has become the unofficial annual state of the hard techno nation synopsis, and 2020 is no different. It features label favourites such as AnD, Manni Dee and Scalameriya, who contribute linear, driving tracks (Dee's "The Wolves" and "Exploit Me, I'm Yours"), crunchy industrial bangers ( Scalameriya's intense "Plothole") and searing acid workouts (AnD's "Morning Sesh").
But this year's edition also welcomes newer names to the stable such as Ghost in the Machine and Tymon, who impress with the visceral "Breaking the Seal" and the broken beat "Woodman" respectively. The compilation also collects tracks that veteran producer The Advent's released this year on the label, with the lean rhythm of "Scorched" and the jacking "Planting Seeds" - a follow-up to the 1997 track "House Seed" - really standing out.

Keepsakes - "I Breathe Slow & Watch With Gusto" - (6:27) 133 BPM
Review: Following on from 2018's first Forever split release, Perc Trax delivers a blinding second instalment. The chilling strings and pounding kicks of "Morning Sesh" by AnD set a frenetic pace for the release, but it can't compare to the intensity levels on Tymon's "Woodman". While it is considerably slower, the rough drums, skewed percussion and driving rhythm all come together to make for an exhilarating piece. D.A.V.E. The Drummer from the veteran Stay Up Forever collective drops a similarly inclined banger in the shape of "133.33000000000001", while Mickey Nox's "Filtered Metal" is all about the pounding kicks and bursts of white noise. Maintaining the peak-time sound, Keepsakes' "I Breathe Slow & Watch With Gusto" weaves chopped up vocals into its ghetto techno backing.

Exploit Me I'm Yours - (4:58) 137 BPM
Review: Perc Trax provided the platform for one of Manni Dee's biggest breakthrough tracks, "London Isn't England", and he returns to the label to deliver another peak-time EP. "The Wolves" revolves around a bruising industrial rhythm that underpins aggro vocals and hardcore hoover riffs. On "Do As They Don't", Dee ups the pace and the pitch of his vocal samples, with a Pinky'n'Perky-style vocal loop set to pummelling, steely kicks. Maintaining this approach on "Exploit Me, I'm Yours", Dee keeps the intensity up by delivering a pulverising drum track that sees the levels pushed firmly into the red.

Review: The eighth series in Perc Trax's remix series sees some of techno's biggest names rework the label's back catalogue. It opens with Amelie Lens delivering a thumping, big-room take on Perc's own "Look What Your Love Has Done To Me". DJ Boss goes down a linear but visceral route for his Schranz take on RVDE's "90s Hammer", while Ghost In The Machine turns Perc & Truss' "Leather & Lace" into a juggernaut banger, led by screeching riffs, looped vocal samples and a pounding kick. For a more streamlined take on peak-time techno, take a listen to Perc's own VIP take on "Look What Your Love Has Done To Me" ,while for those lovers of layered, noisy bangers, look no further than Ansome's remix of Manni Dee's "London Isn't England".

Review: Breaking The Seal follows on from Ghost In The Machine's 2018 King Dead release for Perc Trax and consolidates Frank Nitzinsky and Nils van Lingen's reputation as purveyors of heavy-duty techno. The title track and "Cold Rush" are breakneck-speed industrial bangers, underpinned by concrete kicks and jackhammer percussion while featuring wild siren riffs. "Napalm Breath" sees the pair maintain the same intensity levels by deploying broken beats, but it's only a temporary reprieve and on "Combo Breaker" they impress with a wild combination of gabba kicks, splurging acid and noisy electronic riffs. It's a wild, roller-coaster ride through techno's harder spectrum.

Review: With industrial techno brandishing its other cheek these days with a burgeoning cast of new producers on the scene, it's the likes of Ansome and I Hate Models that this sound is looking to. Add some heavier Italian wares and harder Australian stuff from Rvde and Tymon, and you have the summation of Perc Trax in 2019. With Ali Wells' dropping in himself with the tongue in cheek Three Tracks To Send To Your Ghost Producer EP, this compilation lifts a visceral selection of music to feature across the label this year. All menacing and with a story to tell, Perc Trax in 2019 presented a fresh and hazardous form of ballistic techno in its approach to crunching drums and new school industrial aggression.

Say, " Heaviest Fucking Acid Trip In The Universe," a intro that sets up a sincere phone call from a possible techno devotee that goes on to explain the obvious...If this suggests that Ansome's music played a role into one's self realisation then that's the making for a hell of a soundtrack. For the industrial techno writer, Ansome's second LP for Perc Trax is relentless: unrelenting industrial techno! Everything is crunched, obliterated and destroyed, compressed, detuned and pumped up again into something crushing and new. Full of punk and distortion all the more, the album tails into deeper gothic realms with tracks like "Last Bottle", but for the good old fashioned stuff, choose your weapon: "Hunger".

Review: Featuring vocals from UK electronic artist Gazelle Twin, Perc's ''Look What Your Love Has Done To Me" has gone from a vocal experiment to a certified classic and the biggest selling track in the history of his label. Originally released as part of the Bitish artist's 'Bitter Music' LP in 2017, the track has grown in support organically, allowing it time to take on a life of its own. Now in 2019 the track lives on with these killer reworks by some of the scene's biggest names. Ascendant Belgian Amelie Lens delivers a barrelling peak time perspective that lunges straight for the jugular, label regular I Hate Models delivers a typically frantic and hyperware rework sure to throw you against the wall and the man himself Perc reloads the track directly off the factory floor in pitch black and austere fashion.

Review: Guillaume Labadie aka I Hate Models opens up his long award debut album with "The Beginnning of the End", a typically dramatic affair. Crashing break beats and soaring strings provide a backdrop for an ice queen vocal that soars and drops unexpectedly. What is not unexpected is Labadie's penchant for industrial bangers, which he delivers in style here in the form of "Impossible Love" and "You Are Not Alone". However, Labadie's take on slamming techno is still nuanced: "The Night Is Our Kingdom" deploys steely break beats effectively and on "Romantic Psycho", he uses a
dubbed out, cavernous groove that underpins noisy electronic squiggles.

Eternal Return - (6:35) 134 BPM Hot
Rioted - (5:32) 133 BPM
Haunted Shipyard - (5:58) 137 BPM
Review: Tymon Balakirev is best known for his work on Lenny Dee's Industrial Strength imprint, and brings his experience to bear on this release for Perc Trax. The title track is a pounding workout that features spoken-word samples and an eerie sound scape throughout the arrangement, which is redolent of The Mover's early 90s work on Frankfurt Trax. "Rioted" is just as dark, with rough kicks combined with electronic feedback and a howling central riff. Tymon maintains the visceral pressure on closing track "Haunted Shipyard", where screeching analogue riffs and bursts of white noise unfold over a rough rhythm track.

Toxic NRG - (5:56) 136 BPM
Driller - (6:27) 134 BPM
Pivot - (5:30) 134 BPM Hot
Review: Ali Wells aka Perc delivers a defiant come back release that is designed to call out those famous names who have made career as recording artists despite never venturing into the studio. "Toxic NRG" is 100% Perc, with a central riff that spits out acid fury over murderous kicks and an industrial rhythm. "Driller" is even more intense, with Wells fusing gabba drums with volleys of coruscating percussion to achieve a track that's the sonic equivalent of being hit over the head with a sledgehammer. Rounding off the release is the loopy builds and drops of "Pivot", another visceral, peak-time roller that will also expose the frauds and chancers.

Review: What a year it's been for Perc Trax. The label's long-term championing of harder-edged techno has paid off, with the roster starting to get wider recognition. Manni Dee's contribution to this year in review compilation is the pounding techno of "Gulabi Gang", which comes close to 140bpm and features wild screeches and howls. Scalameriya, another artist championed by the label, drops three tracks that characterise this tough techno sound; "Crucible" is a straight up sheet metal banger, while on "Slobodna" he opts for a noisy industrial approach and "Hellzone Megapunk" is an ear bleed-inducing pounder. I Hate Models is the artist most likely to make the big break though, as the pile-driving acid of "Spreading Plague" and the break beat-led "Martial Order" demonstrate.

Review: Since his debut back in 2016, there has been a lot of hype surrounding I Hate Models
aka Guillaume Labadie. However, this is one of the rare occasions where it is deserved. Plotting a path that includes trance, industrial and even a touch of gabba, this French producer makes techno like no one else. This is audible on "Spreading Plague", where he fuses tortured vocals with frenetic drums and spiralling acid lines that recall that other great French maverick, Emmanuel Top. "Martial Order" is just as idiosyncratic, with splintered percussion supporting distorted techno drums. Tasked with a remix, Perc turns "Plague" into a heads down, banging affair, but even his frenetic claps and juggernaut rhythm will find it hard to match ILM's wild original.

Review: The Hague based duo Frank Nitzinsky & Nils van Lingen aka Ghost In The Machine appear next for Perc's outlet for no-holds-barred industrial music. They follow up their break out One Louder EP that came out on the label last summer, plus remixing Perc & Truss' "Leather & Lace". They turned the track 'into a peak-time festival wrecking face-melter.' according to Perc - what a compliment! From the blistering and textural abrasions of "King Dead", functional warehouse techno as heard on "Pile Driver" or the brutalist factory floor stomp of "The Powder Of Love" - this one certainly is not for the faint of heart. The duo continue to head up the Genosha Basic label and touring to great acclaim around Europe.

Review: Perc Trax launches a new split release series with a difference. All of the tracks on Forever 1 have been tested in clubs by label owner Ali 'Perc' Wells', and it shows. Manni Dee's "Gulabi Gang" is a ferocious stomper, led by concrete weight kicks and wild metallic riffs, while on Rebekah's "Diamond in the Rough", visceral drums, noisy percussion and white noise riffs prevail. The label has also tapped Scalameriya for a track and "Slobodna" resounds to broken percussion, noisy betas and a searing central riff that fades in and out, causing a sense of disorientation. Last but not least is John Heckle's Head Front Panel project with the aptly named "Furious", a malevolent slice of early Mills-influenced, dense techno.

Review: Originally issued in 2016, "Leather & Lace" now gets the remix treatment from two acts with quite different roots. Ghost In The Machine aka Frank Nitzinsky and Nils van Lingen were originally a DJ duo and made their debut on Perc Trax last year. The pair's stomping techno reshape sees them draw on a searing hardcore bass and hammering kicks, with vocals buried deep inside this full-on arrangement. Although best known for releases on Tectonic, Mumdance & Logos' version of "Leather.." appears to channel classic Frankfurt trance for its melodies, squat party Liberators material for its acid line and DJ Rush-style schranz for its distorted kicks - making for an unusual but inspired reshape.

Wax Apple (Lucy remix) - (6:07) 130 BPM
Rat Run (Matrixxman remix) - (6:54) 130 BPM
Review: This second set of remixes from Perc's recent album begins in stark contrast to the first series. EP02 gets under way with the frenetic, tribal groove and trance stabs of Dax J's take on "Unelected". The tempo drops again for Lucy's take on "Wax Apple". In the Italian producer's hands, it turns into a stepping rhythm shot through with mysterious textures and drones. Changing course once again is Matrixxman with his interpretation of "Rat Run". While the US producer doesn't take away any of Perc's grit and grime, he does use a nickel-plated, percussive backing track to make his remix sound like it was recorded in a Chicago warehouse.

Review: In this first volume of remixes, Ali Wells gathers an impressive cast to rework tracks from his Bitter Music album. First up is John Heckle's Head Front Panel project, which turns Perc's "The Thought That Counts" into an intense, dense techno groover, led by intricate riffs and tones. By contrast, Hodge's take on "Chatter" is loose and free-flowing, underpinned by massive, dubbed out drums and a rhythm that sways and swerves in all the right places. Pessimist's take on "Exit" pushes the release back towards the opaque and, in this instance, mysterious, thanks to its shadowy drones. Last but certainly not least is Dale Cornish with a superb, stuttering minimal house take on "I Just Can't Win".

Review: Ansome is the enfant terrible of the UK techno scene. Real name Kieran Whitefield, his hardware-driven tracks are always noisy, energetic and irreverent. On British Steel, his latest venture for Ali Wells' label, all these characteristics are abundant. The title track is a pummelling, broken beat affair, while "Marching Powder" sees him opt for a straighter groove, as concrete kicks support droning, visceral textures. "Poison Your Body" is techno in sound but punk in nature as a vocal screeches and shrieks over a pounding industrial rhythm that replicates the sound of someone scraping their finger nails down a black board. Closing track "Granite & Mortar" is just as twisted, with Ansome returning to broken beats and spewing out electronic feedback and guttural rage.

Review: Rarely appearing away from their own Genosha Basic imprint, The Netherlands' Ghost In The Machine are next up on Perc Trax and carry on with the label's MO for abrasive/no holds barred techno. This EP hits as hard as anything on the label in recent years. Industrial strength grinder "The Holy Grill" leads the charge with its darkly austere elements and one of the meanest Reese basslines you've ever heard. Gnarly body basher "Hold My Drink" pushes the threshold once more, with its overdriven bass drums like a kick to the head, while its metallic textures slice away at you with pure wrath. Ending the sonic torment is "PSKDT" (What Does It Mean?), a cyclical warehouse techno stomper that's perfect for the peak time slot.

Review: Bitter Music is Ali Wells's third studio album and manages the rare feat of combining experimentation with a focus on the dance floor. It means that the husky, breathy vocals and found sound ambience of "Exit" and the spooky tones of "Wax Apple" both sit next to the panel-beating techno of "Unelected" - possibly another one of Wells' political references - the eerie, rumbling drums of "Chatter" and the low slung menace of "I Just Can't Win". On other occasions, Wells articulates his ability to straddle both worlds in one arrangement, audible on the deeply disturbing shrieks of Aja Ireland over the gnarly rhythm of "Spit" or the tape dub cut up groove of "Rat Run". Ali Wells has matured as an artist but as Bitter Music shows, in the process he has lost none of his bile-laced anger.

Mephi - (5:01) 142 BPM

Review: There have been some attempts to re-imagine the foot-stomping anger of gabba in recent years, but few have come close to emulating the raw form energy that Manni Dee's productions spew forth. Not that Dee is a fan of Dutch skinhead music. If anything, his work takes its cues from techno and its attendant free party circuit as well as a sense of disillusionment with ordered society. In Perc, he has found an ally, and this release is timely. As the UK stands on the brink of breaking away from Europe, the pounding, juggernaut rhythms of "Mephi" and the brilliant "London Isn't England" (featuring Ewa Justika) sound all the more prescient. Completing this excellent, socially aware release is the gloomy, beatless throb of "Adorable Disorder".
