Statix - Devoid of a soul
Statix - Devoid of a soul Yes, yes Rottun is one of my favorite labels at the moment! Relentless, unforgiving, in your face step techniquez! Statix (reminds me of a demoscener!) brings us terse, compact and brutal vibrations. Can’t help but love the name of the EP too; Purgatory.

Freestylers, Ctrl Z - Ruffneck (Excision & Datsik Remix) Datsik has really impressed me this year. Another heavy hitter, here in the (former) good company of Freestylers.

Deadbeat & Fenin - Teach the devil’s son Tasty dubtechno on Echochordcolor. This one’s got a massive atmosphere and a dark vibe. Thunder storm rolling in.

Autechre - Draun quarter
Autechre - Draun quarter Nostalgia for me. Autechre remains one of my all time favourite artists. Everything from ambient beauty to harsh AI beats. I’m swallowing it all. Draun quarter and the Envane EP where its from is somewhere in between, still with lots of moody melodies for the weak though. Fresh swedish techno tomorrow.

Vector lovers - Nostalgia 4 the future
Vector lovers - Nostalgia 4 the future I was a bit disappointed by Vector Lover’s latest album Afterglow (2007) - too ambient and cautious for my taste. Capsule for one, which this track is from, and the self titled debut appeal to me much more. Sci-fi electro-electronica-atmospherical-techno shiz.

Awesome music, got the tip from 20JFG (of course, be sure to download Holographic Landscape). Epic cosmo-disco vibes with some 8bits thrown in and a bit of fuck buttonery.

Redshape - Dark & Sticky
Redshape - Dark & Sticky One of my absolute favorite techno producers. Numerous excellent releases under his belt, and finally a full length dropped on Delsin called The Dance Paradox. No disappointment.

Andrew Weatherall - Built back higher
Andrew Weatherall - Built back higher (on The Ill-ec-tro-nic) He formed the electronic music trio The Sabres of Paradise in 1993. He has promoted the Bloodsugar and Sabresonic club nights. In early 1996, after shutting down Sabresonic, Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood became Two Lone Swordsmen, signing to Warp Records label and setting up Rotters Golf Club for their own dancefloor-orientated...

Vaski - You Wouldn't Understand
Vaski - You Wouldn’t Understand I first heard this a couple of days ago. When it dropped I couldn’t help giggling like a fool. Twisted and corrupted with a huuuge drop. Listen and get stomped. Youtube embed + mp3 for everyone!

Peverelist - Bluez
Peverelist - Bluez Proceeding with similar content. Peverelist’s super advanced pieces of rhythmic and melodic composition should leave no one untouched. Bluez is my precious off the fantastic Jarvik Mindstate album that has just dropped on Punch Drunk. Jarvik Mindstate may very well sneak its way into many best of 09 lists. Music for exoplanet colonization.

Boxcutter - Sidetrak
Boxcutter - Sidetrak Dubstep/techno crossover sounds that we all love. I’m curious why these type of artists mostly aim for the more mellow/dubby takes on techno vs dubstep. I’d really like to hear some warehouse pounding together with wobbly bass and twisted stabs.

Rayko - Serious birthday edit Argh! Can’t remember where I got this from. Rayko blends the sweetest 80s-tinged disco you can imagine here. The chorus is superb.
