Solar One Music
Review: Ola Bergman has been releasing electronic music for almost twenty years, with his work gracing respected labels like Abstract Forms, Brokntoys and Stilleben. Now he debuts on Solar One with an excellent electro four-tracker. "Aerobahn" resounds to stripped back, acid-soaked drums, while Bergman brings his melodic sensibilities to bear on the floating, atmospheric "Jacobian Determinant". On "Dirac Spinor", Bergman venture down a darker path: accompanied by malevolent bass and eerie synth lines, it sees the Swedish producer reach a paranoid, Rother-esque destination. "Julius Mosca" is also of a darker disposition, but its low-slung rhythm is more redolent of Gerald Donald's spooky Zwischenwelt project.

Review: The hotly tipped Golden Pudel resident Helena Hauff joins forces with Andreas Gehm for a release on The Exaltics label. Unlike much of the output on Solar One, this four-tracker ignores electro in favour of a more malevolent sound. "Rupture" sets the tone for what is to come, its grainy beats and heavy claps marking out the relentless rhythm track approach that both artists have decided on. However, by the next track, "The Purely Painful Confrontation Of Opposites" it becomes clear that the duo want to fry their audience's brains with the most aggressive 303s since DJ Skull. "HKX" is just as punishing and "Solar Two" ends the split release with malevolent, pounding acid-fuelled beats.

Review: Elec Pt1 becomes the latest collaborator in The Exaltics Meets series following prior introductions to Morphology and Gosub. For the uninitiated, Elec Pt1 was part of Bunker Records' second coming, originally '90s acid house label based out of the Hauge, said to have funded their earlier releases with "money made from selling LSD (silver surfers!)". German speakers will be able to decipher Elec Pt1's "Drei Chinesen Mit Dem Acidbass", a potential retrospective nod to Bunker's (now legendary) "acid planet" squat parties. A flabby kick, crushed hats and white noise sounding more like a baby robot tantrum than synthesis opens "The Party", before unexpected doo-doo-doo vocals become the tracks centrepiece. The Exaltics opens his side of the 12" with throbbing drums and hardedge acid in "The Midnight Connexion", which later gives way to uplifting chords. Acid and breakneck drum loops make up "Nichts Aber Auch Nichts" which also receives some euphoric synth treatment.

Review: This weeks psy essential comes from the always-on-point Solar One label, and the launch of an exciting new series of collaborations entitled 'The Exaltics meets...'. Putting them up alongside a new artist each time, this one is down to Shad T Scott aka Gosub and the result is four diverse and interesting tracks of progressive and psy. Exaltics offerings pack the most energy, especially on the shattering melodies of 'My Language'. While Gosub bring something totally different on the twisted vocal led 'Plug In'.. Get stuck in and see which is doing it for you.
