Review: It's another Truesoul release people: look out! Adam Beyer's diffusion label for techno of the more funky and well... soulful variety, now takes a turn for the more progressive sound and it works pretty well if you ask us. 23 year old Londoner Paride Saraceni gives us "Burning", which features the sweet vocals of Monce and sounds like Guy J or Guy Mantzur on steroids basically. "Cold Summer" carries on with the power-prog aesthetics just nicely with the added fury of a Drumcode style kick drum carrying the track for a variety of purposes: peak time or afterwards. Finally the infectious and melodic stab attack of "After Dark" goes out all guns blazing on this sure shot for any time slot and any dancefloor, that's guaranteed!

Review: Stockholm's Tiger Stripes is definitely one of the hardest working producers in techno, whose output in the last 11 years has been quite prolific. Returning to Adam Beyer's platform for funky techno, Truesoul, Mikael Nordgren presents us with the Body Shake EP. The title track is all that, with chopped up and jacking vocal samples over a restrained yet ferocious groove that's sure to bang the party. "All Night" featuring the Prince like vocals of Lee Burgess lend a nice edge to this slinky yet booming tech house cut that could appeal to deep house DJs too to add a bit of oomph to their sets. Finally the groovy and percussive "Ego Express" is summery, White Isle style business that'll appeal to fans of Gruuv or Saved.

Review: Adam Beyer's Truesoul is back with yet another killer by label stalwart from the UK Reset Robot. Following up and equally brilliant effort for Germany's Mobilee, the release opens with the title track featuring eight minutes of haunting synth work and expertly programmed drums that build to a mighty crescendo. Next "Bil'am's Donkey" is a restrained and melodic tool that is perfect to create a transition for DJ sets while "Oak Ridge Capsule" hammers the message home in style on this atmospheric hypnotic techno journey.

Review: London-based Italian Riva Starr recently presented his fourth long-player on Adam Beyer's Truesoul. He has stated that he is always evolving, so every now and again he needs to make a point about his latest sound. Curveballs has been especially written to showcase the full range of his sonic repertoire and features a carefully selected collection of tracks designed for a club environment. The Snatch! head honcho now presents to you Curveballs Remixed - comprising of three versions: Drumcode wunderkind Layton Giordani delivers a electrifying rework of "The Hole" that's reminiscent of classic Dubfire, the controversial Marquis Hawkes delivers an emotive and bittersweet perspective of "Piknik" (One Night In Tbilisi remix) and album highlight "Disco Loco" gets a funked-up and full throttle makeover by Glasgow Underground's Harvey McKay.

Review: With a career spanning 15 years, Swedish veteran Tiger Stripes is one of the industry's most dependable and creative talents. His last outing on Adam Beyer's Truesoul was the collaboration "Sound of The Bettest" with Snatch! main man Riva Starr. A year on, he now presents "Sneaking Hotdogs Into People's Pockets".The title comes from a segment on Youtube and influenced by his 'guilty pleasure" of '90s influenced dance pop music' and indeed is reminiscent of Eurodance pop from the said period - complete with euphoric trance arpeggios! Next offering "Guidelines' is named after the club night he used to run in Stockholm and looks for inspiration from the same period in a different form - think of the of the funky and filtered disco house on Defected or Soulfuric.

Review: Original house prankster Riva Starr returns on Adam Beyer's Truesoul - the label is almost like a second home to the Snatch! head honcho these days, we think. His new main room stomper "Always" sees the London based Italian pursue a more melancholic and bittersweet sound to tremendous effect - and all the more worthwhile because of vocal contributions by the one and only Jocelyn Brown! Her unmistakable voice makes the track even more life affirming. Elsewhere, the cheeky and funked-up disco loops that you've come to know and love from the man are ever present on the infectious "Disco Loco" and heads down moments on the dancefloor are surely catered to courtesy of the backroom dub of "Give Me Love Dub".

Review: Over the last decade, the London dwelling Italian DJ Riva Starr has been through many musical phases: and his latest incarnation- as Hyperloop is for Adam Beyer's esteemed Drumcode imprint. As you'd have probably guessed by now, The Snatch! Records boss throws down some harder edged sounds, more suited to the main room of superclubs at peak time, rather than the sunny White Isle beach parties he's usually more affiliated with. "Resilience" bridges the gap between Detroit techno and disco house in the same vein as Robert Hood's Floorplan project. With its pounding funked up rhythms, backed by hypnotic symphonic loops that make up one surefire DJ tool if we've ever heard one. Second offering "Fallen Angel" likewise features a no-nonsense, heads-down type of groove - but employing a dreamy bell melody for a nice contrast. It features two remixes: one by veteran Scandinavian producer Tiger Stripes and the other and by the one and only Terrence Parker. This dirty and jackin' rendition by the Motor City don was probably our favourite.

Review: A most trusted producer over the years with a sound that's evolving into something more progressive and synthy for this particular release while maintaining that classic Reset Robot reboot - this EP's lead track is its most intriguing. With a touch of techno-pop be-it electroclash weaving its way through "I Wish You'd Never" there's no denying its trancey and rave roots. Dipping deeper into straight up big room acid techno for "Time Loop", the whiplash of rip curling synths in "Fluid" peel over ephemeral atmospheres and the dusty thud of drums. And for the that serene bonus, Truesoul caps off this release with a "I Wish You'd Never (dub)", steering the original toward something arpeggio-driven over vocal-led.

Review: Hot on the heels of releases for Dirtybird and Defected, Reuben Keeney aka Rebuke delivers a storming EP for Truesoul. The title track twitches and bangs with a rare energy, combining pitch-shifting vocal samples and Red-style chord stabs over glitchy drums and percussion. It shows that Keeney brings a refreshingly DiY approach to his productions. On "Posers Ray Gun", he goes into full rave mode, with bullet-proof metal break beats providing the basis for insistent bleeps and wild percussive volleys. In stark contrast is "Ready to Fly", a somewhat deeper but still pumping groove that marks Keeney out as a serious new talent.

Review: Forgive us for saying, but this is an odd meeting in every aspect - Swedish tech house legend Tiger Stripes teaming up with Italian house hooligan Riva Starr, on Adam Beyer's Truesoul? We know what you're thinking but trust us it works, it really does! The dusty and tough rolling sounds of Starr's revered Snatch! and Brock Wild imprints are all over "Sound Of The Bettest" with its booming 808 bounce, junglist breaks and cheeky ragga samples. Perhaps "Move It" is where Tiger Stripes' more hi-tech sheen shines through - indeed it does, but backed again by Starr's swing fuelled and MPC styled aesthetic. Surefire tools for peak time destruction on the dancefloor guaranteed.

Review: Berlin's Clio has really hit his stride, appearing on a host of esteemed labels like 8 bit, Snatch and Metroline Limited but has become a real staple of Adam Beyer's labels Drumcode and Truesoul. For the latter he presents the Think Of You EP, three servings of fierce and emotive techno such as on dynamic opener "London Rave" with Yvan Genkins which stomps and shuffles in big room fashion like a Shed track. The title track is the kind of chugging and hypnotic peak time weapon that is reminiscent of label boss Beyer or Pig & Dan's work. Finally "No Shame" is a dark journey track full of atmosphere and a wonky synth lead which does great work, all carried by that nasty over driven kick; killer stuff!

Review: UK tech house legend Steve Lawler last appeared for Adam Beyer on his Drumcode label back in 2008. For this new one on Truesoul, Lawler explains that it is a reaction to the current state of the world, mired in a current state of emergency and turmoil. He had to write something, but never knew how to do it (without making a depressing record) but here is an attempt to make something beautiful, yet carrying the message he wanted to get across. The result is a riveting hi-tech soul anthem in the form of "People" featuring Lisbon's MC Johnny Def, which also comes with a funky and bass-driven Dub Mix and a handy accapella.

Review: Two of Truesoul's most high-profile production acts hook up for their inaugural studio collaboration - and the result is the remarkable Challenger. Conceived during lockdown, this two-track release has an atmospheric undercurrent but is also sure to strike the right tone once dance floors finally re-open. "Granular" is powered by a throbbing bass, and features evocative synth scapes: it's like a cinema soundtrack pushed onto the dance floor. The title track also shines a light on an atypical approach to techno, with hypnotic tones laid over a lithe rhythm - and this combination builds gradually to a blissed out finale.

Review: UK tech house duo and Lost Recordings head honchos Leftwing & Kody are back with more surefire bangers for the main room, this time courtesy of Adam Beyer's always reliable Truesoul. They ease you in with style, starting off with the tunnelling "Inception" where the track's very title is repeated in pitch shifted fashion over a dusty and furious stomp. The retro influenced flavour of "Acid 16" does exactly what it says on the tin with its jacked vocals and Todd Terry style house stabs. To finish things off, the very bumping tech house groove of "Labyrinth" ends things on a much mellower note with its bumping bass and hands in the air melody for good measure.

Review: Valencia's Pablo Say (Toolroom/Stereo/Non Stop) is back with more surefire peak time techno for Adam Beyer's always reliable Truesoul imprint; which as always is focused on the funkier side of the main room. On "Green Melody" an adrenalised groove powers away, assisted by a rushy and arpeggiated bassline, snarling hi-hats awash in reverb and industrial strength sound design keeping pace with the relentless thud of the cavernous 909. Second offering "Reencuentro" shows more restraint on this dark and tunnelling journey into the abyss; complete with a wonky synth lead, rolling bass and powerfully tight rhythms keeping pace with a freestyle melody that is sure to cause hysteria on the dancefloor.
