Review: Delivering a fifth record for your stash of hardcore electro and house music wares in 2020 is DJ Haus, continuing to fly the flag high for Unknown To The Unknown during these modern times. Sending in three tracks here, a highlight almost without saying is the melodies and sweet tones of "Analog Chime" in combination with Haus' trademark gnarly acid progressions. "WiFi Network" adds a new spin to what a dial up modem might sound like in 2020 thrown amongst some splashes of Drexciyian electro while the title-track is a righteous piece of deep sea dwelling computer music.

Coco Bryce & Desert Sound Colony Remixes
Catch Your Breath (Coco Bryce remix) - (6:20) 132 BPM Hot
Bleep Bots (Desert Sound Colony remix) - (5:36) 130 BPM
Review: DJ Haus has always known which way the wind is blowing musically. That much is evident not only from his on-point, retro-futurist productions, but also the tracks he signs to Unknown to the Unknown and the remixes he commissions. For proof, check out this new set of re-rubs of tracks from his IDM-infused house mini-album, Data Dump. Coco Bryce is arguably one of the world's leading proponents of jungle and '90s D&B revivalism, so it's little surprise to find that his crunchy, sub-heavy take on 'Catch Your Breath' is a rough, Amen-powered peak-time delight. Meanwhile, Holding Hands main man Desert Sound Colony does a bang-up job in turning 'Bleep Bots' into a spacey, dubbed-out chunk of deep techno eccentricity.

Review: It sounds like DJ Haus was listening to artists like Norken and CIM when he recorded this EP, as it draws heavily on their late 90s and early 00s work for inspiration. Like these artists' output, the key difference between this release and a lot of what passes for IDM is the fact that Data Dump is eminently danceable. Both "Bleep Bots" and "Fuzzy Logic" are cinematic groovers, while on "Catch Your Breath", the Unknown To The Unknown owner opts for a busier approach, with chopped up vocals and a loose metallic rhythm prevailing. At the more abstract end of the spectrum, there's the drum'n'bass speed "Puzzle Box" and the stop-start, abstract sounds of "Glitch Soup".

Review: Given that both Marquis Hawkes and Unknown To The Unknown are renowned for their ability to deliver party-starting, retro-futurist treats, you'd expect the Berlin-based producer's second EP for DJ Haus's label to be packed to the rafters with sweaty treats. Interestingly, it isn't, though it's also arguably one of Hawkes' most interesting releases to date. Across the EP, he sashays between dreamy, mid-tempo Balearic disco (the synth-heavy lusciousness of "Lunar" and even more saucer-eyed "Voyage"), electro-fired sunrise warmth (the sparkling, Kaleidoscopic electronics, lazy electro beats and squelchy acid bass of "Be The Change You Want To See"), strangely-swung, Aphex-on-Valium vibes ("Validation Comes From Within") and droning ambient soundscapes (the string-laden swell of "Morning After").

Review: Parisian maestro in all things electro, emerging producer Nemo Vachez has impressed recently with releases for his own Forest ill imprint, Rakya and London's Opia. Making a comfortable transition to Unknown To The Unknown, this Serena EP notches up UTTU's fifth release for 2020 and it doesn't take long to understand it's all about "Serena". As if channelling the deeper frequencies of UK rave culture, the opening notes of the title track, eventually met with 303 acid basslines and bleepy percussion, brings to mind classic numbers from Orbital or LFO. The SYO Transe Total Mix does away with the original's bells and whistles going warehouse size on the track's iconic synths and tunnelling basslines instead. Find cool, tropical and percussive touches in "Accordion", with spacious, mellow electro in "Undersea Tea". Cheers!

Review: Fresh from delivering a booming EP of warehouse-ready techno on Rekids, Alan Fitzpatrick pops up on Unknown To The Unknown with another quartet of sleazy slammers and speaker-bothering stompers. Fitzpatrick makes his intentions clear via the fast-paced drums, relentless ride cymbals, growling electronics and fizzing stabs of "The Hole", before doffing a cap to the nastiest Belgian techno of the early '90s on rave-melting banger "Raid". Acid fiends should check the razor sharp TB-303 lines, ricocheting drum machine handclaps and booming beats of "KD6-3", while "Awkward Desire" is a deeper and groovier affair built around swinging drums, dreamy chords and lilting lead lines.

Let My Brain Go
Let My Brain Go (Len Faki remix) - (5:34) 128 BPM
Review: Since launching a little under a decade ago, no label has championed retro-futurist rave revivalism quite as successfully as Unknown To The Unknown. While the imprint's inspirations are varied - think acid house, Bleep, Ghetto-house, hardcore, early Detroit techno and so on - their releases are united by a desire to showcase the pure hedonistic excess of the rave years. It seems fitting then that the label's 100th release is a wild, strobe-lit treat - a stomping, sub-heavy and warehouse ready revision of boss man DJ Haus's 2018 cut "Let My Brain Go" by Len Faki. It rattles along at quite a lick, with Faki wrapping raw riffs and acid squiggles around the most bombastic of breathless, sub-heavy grooves.

Hell Is Other People
Neil Landstrumm & Si Begg - "Hell Is Other People" - (5:15) 130 BPM Hot
Aviemore - (5:30) 126 BPM
Jackshit - (5:10) 130 BPM
Played by: Joyce Muniz
Review: Neil Landstrumm has enjoyed something of a career revival of late, with killer EPs on Central Processing Unit, Running Back and Unknown to the Unknown re-asserting his long-held dancefloor credentials. Naturally, there's plenty more retro-futurist club fodder to be found on the Scottish producer's latest EP, which - as per usual - contains numerous sonic references to turn-of-the-90s bleep and bass. The standout cut is undoubtedly Si Begg hook-up "Hell Is Other People", a fiendishly raw, bass-heavy chunk of techno/electro fusion full of analogue intensity, weirdo robot vocals and Yorkshire style bleeps. He continues on a similarly sparse but weighty theme on "Aviemore", before wrapping a sleazy, Belgian style techno groove with spooky electronics on mind-altering closing cut "Jackshit".

See U In My Dreams (Lone remix) - (6:49) 124 BPM Hot
Review: Label owner DJ Haus steps up for the latest UTTU release. In its original format, the title track is a rambunctious affair, that revolves around a rude, throbbing bass, chopped up vocals and steely drums. It's like a new take on techno and bass within the confines of one track. All ears will also be on the remixer. Most recently, Lone has impressed with his Ambivert Tools series, and he brings some of its dreaminess to this reshape. Coupled with a grungy bass and a looser rhythm, the storied UK producer also layers in some tropical soundscapes to create an unforgettable remix.

Review: Talk about a great meeting of minds. FaltyDL's rave influences are well-known, and now he hooks up with DJ Haus' UTTU label to give full vent to those leanings. The impenetrably titled "Untitled 111vgr" sets the scene with rickety, nervous break beats providing the backdrop for dissected vocal samples and horror stabs. "Beast" is slower and more spaced out, with the US producer doing a compelling take on mid-90s Orbital. The title track mines a similar path, although on this occasion, he adds in some speak and spell samples and ominous synths to a bittersweet hardcore track. By contrast, closing track "Piano 4 9 18 Feux Master Erie 25%" is the soundtrack to the morning after the night before, an airy, atmospheric ambient piece.

Review: The follow up to the first Falcon Black Ops release from earlier this year is sure to appeal to fans of loopy techno and house. "Ten" resounds to dense, sluggish beats and a filtered chord sequence that keeps on building. On "Nine", the approach is different, but the outcome the same, as this mysterious producer delivers a rolling tribal groove, full of mysterious chants and reminiscent of Oliver Ho's earliest work. "Eleven" goes harder and heavier, with a Plastikman-style acid segue and razor-sharp hi hats guaranteeing that it will have the requisite effect, while on "Twelve", a distorted kick drum and scuzzy percussion bring this second volume to a close in style.

The Berlin (by way of Melbourne) based producer follows up some great stuff in recent times for Public Possession, Permanent Vacation and Hell Yeah with the neon-lit balearic house of "My Body Is A Temple" and likewise "My Body Is A Tempo" which is reworked by homeboy Andras (Dopeness Galore/House Of Dad) and ventures deeper into trippier territory.

Review: Best known for his work on Principe and his own One Eyed Jacks imprint, Photonz aka Marco Rodrigues now delivers a blistering EP for DJ Haus' label. "Neo Tokyo" is constructed on a jacking house backing and powered by a gut-busting jungle bass. On "Wall Rose", eerie hardcore riffs move up through an acid-soaked techno rhythm, while "Eva Unit-01" is more menacing. Like Suburban Knight on an especially bad trip, it features frazzled bass tones and high pitched, watery riffs, making for a decidedly disoriented combination. Rounding off the release with the pacy techno rhythm and rolling drums of "Haku & Chihiro", Metanime demonstrates again that Photonz is an idiosyncratic producer.

Review: Throughout his career to date, Allen "Deadboy" Wootton has proved adept at delivering heavyweight, peak-time-friendly cuts that put bustling rhythms and big basslines front and centre. Where this EP for Unknown To The Unknown - his second in total - differs is in its unwavering commitment to mood and melody. Check, for example, "No More", where spacey, delay-laden female vocal samples and glassy-eyed, sunrise-friendly pads slowly stretch out over a snappy, hybrid UK garage/Chicago house groove. Elsewhere, Wootton's new commitment to ear-pleasing musicality is expressed in different ways. There's the lilting pedal steel notes and drifting vocals of 'So Cold", the bustling but deep and spacey thrills of "Silicon", the undulating, Marimba style melodic bliss of "Ryuichi" and the ultra-deep, early '90s ambient house inspired brilliance of closer "Venus and Mars".

Review: Techno legend Neil Landstrumm requires no introduction on here, seeing as how he has been present - and largely leading - our charts since we opened shop in the late 90s. He is techno, and techno is him, much like the Detroit or Chicago greats that we all know and love so much. We're glad to see him on Unknown To The Unknown, DJ Haus' imprint, up in the wax with his predictably oddball strain of techno, first launching an off-kilter attack with "DX Madness", before heading into deeper, darker and more subtle territories via "Rectorate Power". "Sleep" and "Grape" both feature Brain Rays, with both tracks possessing a much more sparse, 12-bit sound that verges onto vintage electronica. Landstrumm gear.

Review: Swift in the slipstream of his DJ Haus remix on Hot Haus earlier this month comes Kornel Kovacs' debut Unknown To The Unknown release. As we've come to love from the Swedish jack-crafting, Barnhus co-founding groove conjurer, each cut struts with a fuzzy, grainy emotive warmth while remaining floor-toughened throughout. From the loopy vocal hypnosis and filtered charm of "Metropolis" to the decayed harmonic hug of "Babasonic" via the classic rising bubbles and garage feels of "Panda", these were built to last well beyond the summer.

Review: Best known for his releases on Lobster Boy and Eats Everything's Edible label, Mele now delivers a raucous release on DJ Haus' imprint. It starts with the bleep-heavy tones and rolling snares of "Moog Beat", which eventually descends into acid-soaked madness. On "Larry's Beat", the UK producer tries his hand at emulating Chicago house. Featuring a "rocking the house" vocal sample alongside a dark bass and firing percussion, he adds his own clanging drums and tough kicks, lending it a unique signature. As its name suggests, "Tribal Layers" is a dense, percussive roller. The remixes are also impressive; DJ Boring turns "Moog.." into a tougher workout, led by doubled up claps and pressure cooker climaxes, while the Bontan take on "Tribal Layers" is a raucous, bleepy affair.

Review: Gnork returns to UTTU for his annual DJ Shark adventure. As broken, classically-trained and timeless as ever, this time round he's treating us to three poignant pieces: "Future Music" is a white knuckle ride down early jungle lane with all the breezes and rushes you could ever ask for; "Shroomz" is led by a beautifully filtered harmonic synth tone that is nicely reminiscent of the tunes trippy title while "Outro" brings the comedown fuzz, all lush and languid. Remix-wise Legowelt opens a whole can of crazy and sprays it all over "Future Music" while Fantastic Man "Outro" into a pensive piece of creepy 4/4 deepness.

Review: Sweden's legendary Frak duo must surely be some of the most productive producers of the last 25 years. The two steely tech-heads have released nothing but bangers since their first cassettes on the equally mythical Borft Records, and they haven't changed a drum machine beat since! Never stopping to believe in their vision of techno, they have had a resurgence of sorts over the last five years, a resurrection which has now landed them on DJ Haus' unstoppable Unknown To The Unknown stable. The four tax are classic Frak business, kicking off with the gently acid-laden tone of "Lane Escape", before dissolving into the more electro-minded swing of the similarly metallic "Protes". On the flip, "Long Fork" bangs away like a hammer, thrashing out its detuned bass like it's '93, whereas "Large Function" is all about the beat rattle, swinging and meandering with the typical Frak sway. Excellent party bumpers.

Review: Dona's Plant Texture lays down more fresh produce in the form of the left-sided Italian beat selection. Dona starts with three versions; his RaveONine blend is a warped, woozy joint that tips a subversive nod towards to the trippier side of Detroit, his jungle mix lives up to its name with some classic breakwork while the Slow08 version takes us right into the middle of a gluey dancefloor, all slo-mo and sedative. Then three twists from fellow Italian Simoncinco; a wriggling acid groove, a thundering bleep-style dub and some rolling 909 drums for add creative mix pleasure. What a package. Ready for takeoff?

Review: Cliff Lothar arrived in 2013 with the incredible White Savage on Viewlexx and since then, has put out material on labels as diverse as Skudge and Turbo. In another twist, he now debuts on DJ Haus' label. Having said that, the direction he explores on this release is in keeping with the overall UTTU approach. "E-String" is a proper old-school referencing track, replete with 90s house organs, 'baby, baby' samples and brittle breaks, while the DJ Boneyard remix serves to accentuate the original's euphoric sensibilities. Meanwhile, on "Tool Tyme", Lothar marries jacking Chicago house with 8-bit tones to create a lo-fi vision of the past.

Review: Lake Haze aka Goncalo Salgado has a small but impressive catalogue that includes records on Creme and One Eyed Jacks, but arguably his best material has been reserved for Unknown To The Unknown. Here, he delivers two contrasting but impressive sounds. The title track is a rich, symphonic house track, its evocative strings and slightly cheesy keys calling to mind Ibizan sunsets. By contrast, "Apollonia" sees Haze get busy with his drum machine and Roland to deliver a furious acid workout that has shades of Armando. Meanwhile, DJ Boring offers another perspective to bear with his remix of the title track. Stripping away the melodies, he delivers a firing, bleepy workout.

Review: David Willenberger's TRP alias has had no problems in finding plenty of love from the house audiences ever since his first EP for Lobster Theremin. But that's not difficult to understand; his music is effective, catchy, and a perfect example of the sort of gear that gets people moving these days. He's up on the ever-impressive Unknown To The Unknown this week, and starts with "DS4", a menacing, pig-headed techno bounce smothered in deep acid love. The title tune "Gunz" is a fiery, intricate punch of drunken drums and hissing percussion stabs going off all over the shop, whereas "Service" floats neatly in a dream-like state thanks to the help of a delicious array of sliding drums. Tough and gorgeous.

Review: Simone 'Simoncino' Vescovo has forged a successful career out of creating analogue-rich dancefloor workouts that pay tribute to the early days of Chicago house. This makes the Italian producer a perfect fit for DJ Haus's similarly retro-minded Unknown To The Unknown imprint. "Gherkin Tape", an undulating, alien-sounding and undeniably jacking workout, sounds like an authentic, long-lost Larry Heard jam under the Gherkin Jerks alias. Fittingly, it's remixed by early '90s Dance Mania survivor Houz'mon, who adds waves of mind-altering TB-303 electronics and a punchier, pitched-up beat pattern. Bonus track "Din Sync", a cymbal and kick-drum driven chunk of swirling Chicago jack after several tabs of acid, completes a tasty package.
