Review: Within contemporary techno circles, Reclaim Your City is a revered label - and this split release goes a long way to explaining its appeal. Autonome boss Arkan starts Heimat II with the frosty synths and subtle back beats of "Submarine". Decka changes up the mood on "Circumvent", where a visceral, muddy groove prevails. There's a similar aesthetic on Yant's "Moving". Set to a faster pace, the track resounds to piercing stabs and insistent percussion. Hitam's "Venusian Wind" marks another shift in style. While following a stripped-back sensibility, it sees the emerging producer apply dubbed out influences to an angular rhythm, with devastating impact.
