Lucy and Xhin, current poster-boys of the austere and spacious techno style, hit it off on the latest single for Chris Liebing's CLR label. 'LX4' employs a stomping broken beat, which has become a trademark for Xhin lately, while 'LX5' makes use of a straight beat and subtle washed-out sound layers. Powerful tools.

Ancient Methods, Marcel Dettmann, Rivet, Mondkopf
Shining a light into the dark corners of our souls, underground techno with an edge is the theme of this week's update. Freely quoting dubstep and industrial, electronica and house next to the style's Detroit roots, techno has become more difficult to pinpoint more...
Frankfurt's young techno talent Monoloc takes us through Chris Liebing's rousing CLR catalogue, achieving an impressive techno flow which remains varied and powerful throughout. Appearances from Lucy, Tommy Four Seven, Perc, Traversable Wormhole and emptyset, as well as Monoloc himself. Pristine.

You could literally hear the jolts and jostles of the music industry's shifting into gear last week: From a quiet holiday mode to the bustle and hustle of what should be an intensely busy autumn season.
If you're still in a tranquil summer mindset you might more...

Release schedules hit a fever pitch in June as record labels scramble to the finish line before the festival season. It's been harder than ever to separate the wheat from the chaff, but this month's essentials once again represent our cream of the more...
Picked!
After their outstanding beast of an album 'Demiurge' this year, Emptyset's 'Altogether Lost' gets a further set of remixes. Two from Ben Klock, pumping the original with a bass-fuelled swing featuring claps then sparsely dissected with icey tones, Ripperton's smooth deepness removing the grit. Top.
'Ratu' and 'G', taken from Tommy Four Seven's recent debut album, get two expertly crafted remix treatments by Perc and Regis. The former elaborates on 'Ratu's stumbling bassdrum drop-out with gut-pounding effect, while Regis adds a Pansonic-style distortion groove to the spaciously industrial 'G'. Monstrous.

Lx2 (Original)
(Track 01 on this Maxi-Single)
A mighty new duo of Stroboscopic Artefacts head Lucy and Singapore's techno force Xhin for Chris Liebing's CLR imprint. 'LX2' is a dark and moody cavernous thumper, filling out at an eerie pace while 'LX3' flutters around the high-end with hypnotic squeaky textures. Top notch harder contemporary techno.

Selected as Artist of week #9
Two massive cuts of uncompromising, industrial techno by Tommy Four Seven: 'Armed 3' punctures its grungy stop-and-go beat with explosive stabs and ominous sirens sounding from a distance. 'Ratu' relies on a similar apocalyptic aesthetic, yet employs a slightly more pressing groove. Killer tracks.
