Tronic
Review: Fresh from contributing to a split release on Alan Fitzpatrick's label late last year, Buridan now debuts on Tronic. "Phase Two" is based on a brooding bass that supports atmospheric, looped chords and dissected vocal samples, with all of these elements making for an emotive, powerful affair. In contrast, "Alianza" is a linear percussive track that features eerie synth stabs and and a rolling, tribal groove. On "The Only Way Out", this new artist remains in a similar space as "Alianza", but delivers a more streamlined interpretation of the sound, while "Smile & Say Hello" is a more upbeat party track, with vocal samples and summery hook unfolding over a thumping beat.

Review: It would make for some debate but this More Than Machine compilation by Tronic may well be the label's most impressive release to date. Bringing together an all star cast of legendary, respected and fresh talent indebted to the machinist sounds of electro, Tronic slips out a surreptitious release into 2021 real diggers will recognise. John Selway appears twice with "Highest Order" and the harder edged "Blink Of An Eye" with Christian Smith (who also delivers an italo inspired solo number in "Pressure Drop"). Vince Watson goes both aquatic and cosmic in "Cyclon" next to CJ Bolland's "The Demotic Script", Sterac Electronics' (aka Steve Rachmad) phase driven "Reinstated" and a far flung Zein Ferreira collaboration with The Advent! Fresher vibes still from the UK's Second Storey and new age techno soul vibes from Client_03's "Regression Container". Your secret stash.

Review: Veteran production pair Filterheadz return to Tronic for this three-track collaboration with Jonathan Estrada aka The Reactivitz. Drawing on Filterheadz' late 90s work for inspiration, the title track is powered by a booming bass and features hardcore-style synths, dubbed out filters and soulful vocal samples. These elements make for an intoxicating combination. "Hexagone" follows a similar trajectory, with a surging acid line fused with powerful sub-bass to create a crafty big-room affair. However, "Pressure" is the most impactful track, with Filterheadz and Estrada coming together to deploy wild Red 2-style chord stabs over a pounding rhythm. It's hard to imagine a better way to round off this energetic techno collaboration.

Review: Ian O'Donovan has released on some of techno and house music's most prominent labels, including Bedrock and KMS, and now he returns to Tronic for this hard-hitting EP. "Ares" is a powerful, stomping affair, led by a series of ominous synths that build and drop, while on the title track, a purring bass sits at the heart of an arrangement that is also populated by hypnotic hooks and rolling drums. "Offworld" sees the Irish producer go deeper as dreamy melodies unravel over a tight percussive track, while "Fungie" also wears its Detroit techno influences brightly, as warbling hooks are fused with a wiry rhythm.

Review: Tronic welcomes Pagano to the fold for this killer three-track release. The title track is a dance floor-friendly affair; based on a rolling rhythm and smart filters these elements act as a backdrop for airy synth lines. "Triskelion" is a different proposition: utilising a stripped back approach, it sees Pagano deploy a snaking bass and a succession of rolling snares to devastating effect. The label has also recruited Eric Sneo to rework "How Long", another Pagano original. In his hands, the seasoned techno producer turns it into a jacking, ghetto-style track that also features woozy synth builds.

Review: Drunken Kong follow their 2017 debut album The Signs Within with this fine follow up. It starts off in tranced out mode on "Certain Reason", which sees a pumping groove and pounding kicks underpin evocative synths and mysterious vocals. Meanwhile on "Live & Create", a drum-heavy track provides the basis for dramatic filter sweeps and "Toro", their collaboration with label owner Christian Smith, sees them deliver a pounding, linear club track. At the other end of the spectrum, "This Is" sees the Japanese pair put their focus on electro and synth pop, with catchy hooks supported by rumbling 808s, while "See You Again" is a dreamy ambient piece.

Review: Drunken Kong follow their impeccable run of dance floor Eps on Tronic with another certified banger. Staring off the release is the title track, a rolling, acid-flecked groove that gradually adds some noisy, building riffs. It's an understated but effective arrangement. A similar production approach prevails on "The Line", with the Japanese pair pitting a sonorous sub-bass against a series of filter-led break downs that are sure to cause maximum impact when dropped. "Begin" sees them up the intensity levels somewhat, as a pumping bass and doubled up claps provide the back drop for ponderous vocal samples and acid spirals. Last but not least is "Some Day", a rolling, menacing groove that resounds to siren riffs and a pumping bass.

Review: Following on from last year's collaboration on Analytic Trail, Filterheadz and Gaston Zani get together once again for this outing on Tronic. The title track is a heads-down, pumping affair, populated by muffled vocal samples and leading into tripped out synth builds. On "Fortitude", they head down a visceral route; the bass is dark and pumping and builds and builds throughout the arrangement, while the use of ominous, industrial riffs lends the arrangement extra menace. On "Possession", the trio serve up their darkest track on the release, with spiralling acid and ominous rave riffs supporting ponderous vocal samples.

Review: Felix Kroecher has put out music on Compressed, Terminal M and DJ Rush's Kne'Deep label, and now joins the ranks of Christian Smith's Tronic imprint. Free Yourself starts with the title track's fuzzy, filtered groove, which builds gradually and in a subtle fashion. On "Territory", the mood gets darker as the German producer uses a spiky minimal rhythm as a backdrop for menacing synth drops and builds, while on "Shadows", an unhurried, acid-tinged arrangement unravels against the back drop of a rolling groove. Tronic has also commissioned a remix of the title track, with the Hidden Empire duo turning the original into a wild, pulsating track.
