Former Vault Series associate Sawlin surfaces on Ann Aimee with an EP of faultless underground techno: Three tracks stick to a muted and spacious sound aesthetic reminiscent of Theo Parrish, STL or Marcel Dettmann, until 'Neid Auf Vacuum' surprises with a warmer kick-drum and a melodic arpeggio. Excellent package.

Square Beauty
(Track 04 on the Compilation)
A mighty episode of all-exclusives in Delsin's 'Inertia' compilation series. Stroboscopic Artefacts head Lucy delivers a plungingly powerful workout, Milton Bradley pristinely carving noise and flex, Fachwerk's Mike Dehnert full-range motion carthasis and Belgium's Ozka dubby aquatic delirium. Blinding!

Dutch technoist Niels Luinenberg unleashes the third and final part of his 'Setup' series on Delsin sublabel Ann Aimee. The beefiest of the three so far - stern-faced, heads-down impeccably produced techno purism strongly influenced by Detroit in its minimalist and industrial-maximalist forms. Punishing!
The second single in his 'Setup' series, Niels Luinenberg continues the heavy yet finely contoured techno workout of his previous one. 'Devolution' writhes with a dubby acid riff, 'Eruption' and 'Theatre' continue in an eerie punishing vein and 'Conflict Data' blossoms with glistening synths. Killer!

Always innovating and challenging the dub-techno template, Brendon Moeller drops this ace release on Delsin sub-label Ann Aimee. 'Close Up' trips rhythmically and gallops with noisy microscopic details whilst 'Mobility' kicks deep with tingling dub bubbles. Killer!
