From The Dirt LP

"Underlying Form boss Darren Allen is obsessive about sound and it shows in this sublime new album for his own label. It comes alongside TX Heaven and features deep explorations of a wide array of sounds from techno to house to IDM to electro to breakbeat. It is hi-fidelity stuff with clean lines and well-defined drums layered up next to detuned pianos and skipping UK club rhythms one moment, then driving Detroit grooves the next. It all plays out like a well-sequenced journey, too, as well as being packed with individual tunes that DJs will love to weave into their sets." (Juno review)

Nina Kraviz released remixes for her "This Time" single by true masters of their craft: Four Tet, Moodymann, Lindstrom, Hieroglyphic Being, Terrence Dixon and Praecox. The release also features an unreleased extended instrumental of the original.

A hard to find sci-fi Detroit techno classic - it's featured everywhere from Marcel Dettmann to Zip's SW sets.- gets a timely reissue complete with a new, super solid Delano Smith remix. It's hard not to love the original in all its futuristic glory, led by a sturdy four-to-the-floor pummelling but boasting a throbbing neo-disco bassline - imagine a lost Gorgio Moroder classic being remade by Jeff Mills in PurposeMaker mode. But the Delano Smith remix updates it for modern palates, ironically by delving back even further, to the early 70s model Kraftwerk from whom he borrows some very austere but classy synth sounds and a touch of electro syncopation. Take your pick according to mood, they both do the job admirably.
