Review: Mugwump “Boutade” via International Feel—File Under Essential Techno

A slow motion churner that comes in around 107 BPMs, it separates itself from the too-cool-for-school nu-disco mentality and brings in a sound often associated with the corny ...

George Fitzgerald

After 100,000 plus plays on Soundcloud and hitting the Beatport top 40, the UK’s George Fitzgerald is slated to give “Thinking of You” a proper physical vinyl release. The song is a noir-house late night heater with Detroit style vocals and deep, pulsing synths and a sharp hand clap. If you haven’t heard it by ...

Piemont, the production duo (Frederic Möring-Sack and Christian Jonquieres) hailing from Germany, travel back to the feudal lands of Japan for their new cut “Okinawa.” Their travel through space and time yielded them the discovery of Japanese Taiko, a rhythm too often overlooked in the EDM and music scene.

Review: Paula Temple “Colonized” via R&S Records—File Under Straight Up No Chaser Techno

Review: Paula Temple

Paula Temple’s new 12” on R&S Recordings is mad intense. This ain’t no fist pumping clown music. This is raw aggressive techno noise, straight up with no chaser. She best describes “Colonized” in her own words: “Imagining what it would sound like to resist the control systems we encounter every day, to refuse standardization and ...
