Rating: 8/10 Synth freak Danny Wolfers continues his explorations in soulful disco and funk under the Nacho Patrol moniker, delivering a genuine-sounding fiesta of vintage grooves. Except of the knowledge that this record has roots in black music, the references to Africa remain limited and one should not expect anyRead More →
Rating: 10/10 Calling Univac’s debut EP ‘party electro’ would mean that we have a misunderstanding right for the start.

Rating: 9/10 This is a little provocation. Firstly, for well-scented audiences that share the passion for opera and Wiener Symphoniker and despise anything that sounds even a little bit electronic. Secondly, a provocation for club kids who may accept dub techno, but believe that classical music is crap.Two different worldsRead More →
The countdown has begun – in 30 days a real techno rocket takes off. Fire and thunder are united in the new EP by Japanese producer Iori. The sound samples tell that this will be a much anticipated release and another killer by Prologue Music. Iori’s “Lapis 3” was alreadyRead More →
Rating: 9/10 In my view a surprise collaboration on Chris Liebing’s label CLR. Emptyset did the album debut a few years ago, searching for experimental hardness and since that not much have been heard about the duo. Would not have tipped CLR the label that welcomes new material by EmptysetRead More →
