Bobby Peru
Death Of A Player

Four devastatingly precise workouts from two of Portugal's leading techno talents, VOX99 and VIL, drawing on the sound of late-night (and morning-after) raves at some of Lisbon's darkest venues. The dub techno moods found on 'Sqs1' and 'Sqs2' are split by their differing sense of space, the first claustrophobic where the second expands. 'Suli's Tiger' is the grainiest cut, while the loopy 'Not Proud Of My Behaviour' provides an unashamed hands-in-the-air moment. In other words, an all-round killer. Early support by DVS1.

Mojuba Records · O-Wells - Subfriction EP [A.R.T.LESS 2175] (Preview)Sub frictional Hi Tech Soul jams by "Die Orakel" Frankfurt Bass mastermind O-Wells. Lennard Poschmann aka Orson Wells steps up for the next release on Mojuba sub label a.r.t.less bringing you four timeless fresh Techno / Electro pieces that will mesmerize you with Detroit and Midwest inspired sophisticated sci-fi funk.

Detroit house purveyor Norm Talley has been particularly busy over the past few years, pushing a brand of deep and hypnotic grooves that keeps dancefloors happy. His 2010 track 'Cosmic Waves' is now an evergreen bit of club tackle - "a crisp drum machine bump, teasing strings and dubbed out melodics precision built for maximum immersion" we reckoned last time round and we wouldn't disagree. Remixes from Delano Smith and XDB make this reissue one to catch.
