Review: There's very little information to go on regarding this Power XIII release, but let the music be your guide. There's a distinctly gothic 1980s flavour to the music - it pumps hard but it's more concerned with texture and atmosphere than modern techno dynamics. The sleaze of the synth coursing through the A side should be enough to get any dark room heaving, while the wound up rhythmic tension of the flip will dig its claws into supple grey matter and inspire a macabre kind of dancefloor transcendence. Perfect for those who like a sinister edge to their night out.
Review: Nu-funk barons Tru Funk commission 15 brand new blends for your party pleasure. Calling up familiar friends and new faces alike, it's yet another reminder of the Polish imprint's clout. Highlights abound but be sure to digest the slap-bass fusion of Funkanomic's Marvin Gaye homage "One More Headache", Morlack's '80s synth smelting of Zhane's "Groove Thang" and Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman" and Roy Hoy / Unknown DJ's mindblowing cauldron of Fatboy Slim, James Brown and Public Enemy on "Xpress Your Big Stuff". Serious floor fire, Tru Funk always deliver.
Review: Horizons are on a roll at the moment, with release after release of top notch D+B from familiar faces old and new. The next installment comes as a various artist compilation featuring works from Spirit, Unknown Error, Sabre, Seba and more. Kicking off with Skitty's monumental "10 Steps", it's off to a tearing start with pounding drums, raucous SFX and a Hardware-meets-Ram vibe. Elsewhere, things are a little more pared down - check the uplifting, sonorous sounds of "Midnight Special" or the quirky experimentalism of "Cellar Dweller". A great collection of tracks here, which covers a range of styles.
