BSNO - Holiday

The label is Dance Latino America Records, and the release features five different, equally original mixes of BSNO's "Holiday". BSNO's original mix of the song is a chunky, driving techno version, playing a lot with stereo effects and the chemistry of the vocal sample throughout the song.

This is a great release from Tomy Wahl and DLA Records. It really showcases the experimental nature of the techno genre and Tomy's ability to create strong driving tracks.

I'm a sucker for anything that combines electronic music with Scripture, so this track is ideal for me.

Matthew Hyatt – Appearances

Up and coming techno label Giantslayers brings us Matthew Hyatt's latest work of art, "Appearances". With energetic beats and rolling bass lines, the vibe of this piece is everything. If you dig the late '90's tech house sound (before the painfully over-used "fart" synth came in to popularity), then do not miss this release.

Sébastien Léger – Electric EP

Intec presents an excellent new EP from Sébastien Léger, entitled "Electric". The first of the two songs "Lunar" opens with a seemingly meek drum kit. By the time the first synth came in (a sharp bass line), I predicted a mediocre song was developing. The early moments sounded like they weren't quite ready to be a song yet. Instead, they unwrapped into a rapidly improving tune.

 
Cave – Climatic EP
Written by Brian Babinec   
Thursday, 15 September 2005

The first of these three new cuts from Cave, properly named "Arctic", opens just like a typical Cave track. What I mean by that is that once again he's used his signature tribal drum style. As the track develops it turns into an odd sounding mix of dark melody and hard techno.

 
Sheltershed – Hx

Hx shows us a Sheltershed unlike one we have seen before. This new Sheltershed is one of change. You cannot listen to the first track and then the rest of the CD and feel that it is the same band. Maybe I am overestimating HeldbyWill’s influence on Submersible, but given the departure of Wil Foster, a change sonically is likely to happen. I am looking forward to the next release to see what that change will be exactly.

 
VNV Nation – Matter + Form

VNV has long stood for quality music in the Industrial Dance scene and their remix album “Burning Empires” is a staple for most DJ’s (still played today). You would be interested to know that Humate co-produced a few of the tracks and I believe you will find an almost Progressive quality to them.
