Review: The sound of analogue techno re-surfaces on the latest Soma release; on the title track,Giordano drops a raw workout, its wiry rhythm resounding to electronic squiggles and warbling tones, supported by grainy kicks. On "Lumocolour", the mood is somewhat darker, with dark electronic sound scapes sweeping in over a relentless rhythm, while on "Fine Point", Giordano opts for a more contemporary-sounding approach; the drums are steely and tough, while the rhythm is stepping and rigid. On the closing track,Giordano discharges the most visceral arrangement; "1 Day Left", with its grimy electronic riffs and gated chords, is a fine slice of uncompromising club tackle.

Review: Padova born, Berlin-based Giordano Libero marked his debut on established labels such as Funk You, Affekt, Illegal Alien and Granulart records. He returns to Scottish institution Soma after the success of his first offering the Fluido Energetic EP, bringing his tough yet melancholic sound back with a new thriller. Beginning with the barrelling and austere peak time energy of "Heat Is Too Hot", as well as the shrieking doomsday war techno of "Forename" and the hypnotic euphoria of "Piangere" with its subtle trance inflections.

Review: As a taster for Simon Stokes aka Petrichor's second artist album, Soma delivers the rolling techno of "6EQUJ5". However, the Scottish label has been careful not to reveal too much and has also commissioned remixes of new Petrichor material. Echoplex turns "After Velvet" into an atmospheric but forceful workout, its anthem-liked chords underpinned by big-room kicks, while the talented, iconic artist Pub also delivers two interpretations of Petrichor's music. The first is a textured, ambient take on "Valdo", while Pub's version of "After Velvet" is truly special, as classical woodwind is merged with a gentle, bubbling groove to create a truly standout remix.

Review: Following the release of German producer SLV's ambient album "Berlin. A Portrait In Music", Soma has invited a powerful selection of techno producers to re-imagine a handful of tracks from the album. Setaoc Mass' steely and barrelling rework of "Dust" is geared for the capital's dank warehouse dance floors in the AM hours. Enigmatic Ukranian Stanislav Tolkachev delivers an emotive and isolated perspective of "First Day In The City" and Dutch dub techno sorcerer Conforce delivers the standout - with his cavernous and splintered perspective of "Forest Voices".

Analog 10 - (5:43) 132 BPM Hot
Before She Died - (5:39) 132 BPM
Lynx - (5:38) 133 BPM
Review: Following on from the What Lies Below release last year, Kontal returns to Soma with this no-nonsense release. "Analog 10" is a stomping, pounding affair, led by relentless kick drums and bursts of acid so visceral that they will corrode sensitive ears. "Before She Died" is even heavier; the kicks and percussion are furious, and follow a linear, streamlined approach that support relentless industrial riffs. Last but by no means least is "Lynx"; redolent of Luke Slater's Planetary Assault Systems project at its most visceral, its combination of pounding kicks and gated, distorted acid licks bring this relentless release to a fitting close.

Review: Hot on the heels of last year's Diverse Fields release on Soma, Roll Dann delivers another killer EP for Slam's label. Opening track "Lexeme" combines intense tonal bleeps with a steely, powerful rhythm. Meanwhile on "Breathe", the emerging Spanish artist drops a more stream lined tribal groove, once again populated by eerie riffs, this time more robotic and austere. There's a similarly bleak approach on "Secret", but once again Dann proves that he's a distinctive artist by layering break beats under the driving groove. Last but by no means least is "The Fist"; more dense and murky than the previous tracks, it's a malevolent slice of modern club techno.

Review: Magna Pia is the new alias of Huseyin Evirgen - usually known as one half of hypnotic techno merchants Cassegrain. He returns to Soma with with full focus on the solo project on this fresh release, which follows up last years impressive Venus Genetrix EP. From the strobed-out adrenaline of fierce opening cut "Syenite", the heads-down warehouse style stomper "Acre" (which reaches hear acid moments of psychedelia) or the barrelling mentalist energy of the title track - Evirgen has once again delivered four cuts of raw, analogue techno that show great depth and drive.

Kepler-62 E - (6:36) 128 BPM
Review: EOS Research is an anonymous project that Soma has been astute enough to sign an EP from. Based on the kind of tripped out techno that prevails on Exoplanet, rest assured that it won't be the last that we hear from them. "Kepler-442 B" resounds to booming kicks and clanging metallic riffs, but it still sounds cavernous and spaced out as it drifts off into the kind of cosmos occupied by the likes of Mike Parker. A more visceral approach prevails on "Kepler 452 B", where the pair deliver pile-driving broken beats that support tripped out trance stabs. "Kepler 62 E" is a more conventional dub techno roller and brings to a close this most impressive debut.

Unhealthy - (5:16) 132 BPM
Review: SLV steps from the shadows again to deliver his fifth release on Soma. As on previous EPs, the focus remains on tough but funky techno. The title track sets the pace with pounding kicks, firing percussion and the meanest, most malevolent rave riffs since the heady days of vintage Joey Beltram. "Dreamscapes" sees the mysterious producer in slightly less menacing form, but its arcing acid lines and pounding kicks mean that, while somewhat more tripped out than "Reflected Light", it is still just as effective. Finally, "Unhealthy" sees SLV delve into darker, more visceral sounds than before, with broken beats and noisy, buzzing electronic riffs prevailing.

Review: Glaswegian legends Slam are back with another single on their Soma imprint, delivering a bunch of sturdy and reliable techno tools on their new release. The duo of Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle have had an abundance of material released this year - the Cyclone EP being their fifth thus far. Their tracks here are as powerful as ever but "Positive Education" or "Lifetimes" these 'ain't - the duo venturing deep down into the depths of the underground to deliver these pitch black and austere executions. From the hypnotic ferocity of "Antonym" with its Millsian chime melody, the steely and ferocious peak time onslaught of the title track or the full throttle mentalism of "Revolve" McMillan and Meikle take no prisoners on this aggressive release.
