The Train
In 2024, we had the first appearance of Albert Salvatierra in our second edition of Rhythmic Sciences. Since then, we loved working together and knew that this moment would come. The Train is his debut EP on ANAOH, a highly interesting work that we could describe as a roller coaster of intentions transformed into techno music for the dance floor.

Edgeworth
The word hypnosis gets thrown around a lot. We dont use it lightly. The well seasoned Tokyoite presents 6 originals in this list that tick all the boxes for an altered state of consciousness: long interlocking grooves, suspended in mercurial harmony as seen in Varuna and Interplanetary, heightened focus and concentration in the broken, escalating rhythm of Orcus and the low-pH levels of Quaoar. Ultimately seen off by the elegant mesmerism of Edgeworths cascading snares and looping vocal chant, and the ever shifting balance of Albion and its unnerving ambience. A release deeply invested in spatial exploration, but is it the milky way, or a deep neural network were looking at?

Aerohead DAT One
Broken Britain, late 1994. Amidst a welter of Tory sleaze, John Majors Back to Basics campaign is dead in the water. No one is buying the traditional-family-values mantra of the hypocritical, festering ruling classes. Into this intense, contradictory culture, in which acutely fertile dance scene clashed directly with an ossified establishment, came The Magus Project, who some 30 years ago in a small bedsit in Fulham, took the sounds of the moment and distilled them into five electronic objet dart, hitherto completely unheard. If spooked-out ebullience can be said to exist, then the esoteric-futurist techno of Wave Control—replete with joyously syncopated kicks, snares n toms-workout, cavernous vibes and a Zen-minimal acid-tinged synth hook—personifies that mood. Made with the same minimal tools—a Roland S760 sampler, the cumbersome Waldorf Microwave synth, a Yamaha FX500 effects unit and Cubase on a Mac Classic—0200 might at first present as a doom-laden techno twanger, with its portentous taiko n gongs intro; yet with typical sleight-of-hand we are instead immersed in Basic Channel-esque dub-techno atmospherics, anticipating Monolakes 1997 Hong Kong album.

Invasive Thoughts
Attention: Techno degenerates, bassline enthusiasts, and anyone whos ever argued about kick drum compression at 3 a.m. FENIM0RE is here to break your brain and your speakers with GTG SOLO 001. This EP doesnt just push boundaries — it kidnaps them, demands ransom, and then sends them home in pieces. Its five tracks of pure, unfiltered techno mayhem. Deefault sounds like UVB and Chlär threw a warehouse rave, invited all their illegitimate bass children, and locked the doors. Meanwhile, Excess is what happens when your groove takes a wrong turn down a dark alley and comes back with a full-on attitude problem. And then theres Invasive Thoughts — the auditory equivalent of staring at a strobe light until you start seeing alternate dimensions. By the time Leva rolls around, your brain will be doing the Macarena in 143 BPM, and you wont even care. The GTG SOLO series is here to find technos weirdest, wildest, and most untamed artists, and FENIM0RE understood the assignment. If youre not sweating, questioning reality, or calling your friends to say, You need to hear this, youre not playing it loud enough. Disclaimer: Were not liable for broken subwoofers, sore necks, or the existential crises that may occur after experiencing this EP. But we are responsible for putting FENIM0RE on your radar, so youre welcome.

Moving Pressure 03
Moving Pressure 03 lands as Rene Wises third release on his imprint. With a refined approach to rhythm and restraint, the artist once again distills techno to its purest form: hypnotic, percussive, and propulsive. Across four tracks and in line with the labels essence, MP03 thrives on movement—low-end mastery meets tightly coiled grooves, while textural elements shift and evolve with subtle precision. A1 Relax sets the foundation with a mighty sub-base, rolling forward with effortless force. Chopped-up claps ricochet through the mix, while a funky, disembodied vocal repeats a single command: relax. Then comes Chomp Chomp, a denser offering in Wises sensorial arsenal. Layered with gritty textures, his signature percussion builds a soundscape that is both tactile and weightless, evoking a kinetic dream state where groove and space are in constant conversation. On the flip, Cave plunges into murkier terrain. Swathed in fog and sinister atmospherics, it unfolds through an eerie blend of sci-fi surrealism and grounded physicality. Bleeps hover like distant signals, their sharpness softened by a cavernous, smothering embrace. Its a study in tension—hypnotic and unsettling in equal measure. Closing the release is Deep Under, a track that embodies its name with subterranean mystique. The soundscape is rich with detail, an ecosystem of sonic fragments shifting beneath the surface. Its immersive yet elusive, like catching glimpses of something just out of reach—a mirage that flickers between the tangible and the ethereal. This is minimalism with intent, built for deep immersion. Less, here, is infinitely more.

Dont Be Naive
Sciahri and Sublunar are proud to present Kameliias first solo EP on the label, Dont Be Naive. After debuting on Sublunar with the various artists release Veil of Echoes I, she now returns with a record that fully embodies her artistic identity. With a distinct sound shaped by releases on SK11, Token, and Unterwegs Records, Kameliia continues to carve her own path. The journey begins with MM6, a hypnotic and forceful track driven by sweeping strings that expand and contract like a living entity. Aspects follows, a piece of refined minimalism where every element feels meticulously placed. On the B-side, the title track Dont Be Naive sets a relentless pace, steadily building tension with masterful restraint. Eventide introduces eerie, spellbinding vocals that weave through the track like an incantation. Closing the EP, Keepers of the Secret slows the tempo, its haunting female vocal etching itself into the subconscious. The digital-only track, Chapter X, brings a fluid, rolling groove, a perfect embodiment of Kameliias sonic identity.

Prime Directive
Continuing his exploration of intricate techno systems, their effect and direct perimeter of action, Peter van Hoesen turns in his newest four-track piece, Prime Directive: a fascinating dive into the artists shape-shifting headspace and inner creative chaos. Fuelled on a furnace-hot mix of abstract-leaning immersion and hi-octane rhythmic thrust, Prime Directive looks at contemporary techno from the angle of experimentation and intuitive abandon. The result comes in the form of four distinct movements, each carving out their own logic and associated behaviour out an endless pool of potentialities. Here comes chaology unfolding in all its unadulterated, visceral glory. Definition by Absence breaks the trip in to the sound of a faux-random symphony: its train-like swing and fiery bass seesaw coalesce through an elliptic fluttering of sorts, iterative and not, patterns moving in and out of synchronicity as van Hoesen applies more or less pressure on both ends. All in gusty in-your-face-ness, Variables Edit 1 whirls and swirls like an ominous vengeance of nature; Its puncturing kicks and whistling menace set against stellar winds and rabid machinery on the prowl for its next victim. An even more unsettling piece of disjointedly arrhythmic, anti-club music for the dance floor, Prime Directive will have you zoning out like a bad dream, flush with metronome-faced monsters and molten clocks hanging from dead trees. Morphology could be PVHs attempt at giving his concepts a carnal carcass to hold onto. Here, rhythm becomes somewhat less erratic, offering his 360-degree vision more melodic surface and actual room for dispersion. One to keep the boundaries pushed and status-quo challenged, this is techno at its most entrancingly bold and fearless.

Katha Manjari
On their inaugural EP for Omen Wapta, GUI and Adhi take on a monastic task. Over the course of five accelerating tracks, they pull ritual practices out of the communal environment and into a solitary headspace. Katha Manjari embodies a voyage that connects the mere twenty centimeter diameter of the human head and its contents to metaphysical realms of extradimensional proportions. Throughout the EPs runtime, youre met with various non-ordinary modes of reality and lucidity. From the dreamstate of Turiya all the way through to the heavy flow of subconsciousness that is Deras. These cathartic states of mind contain nods to many different traditions, for you to unpack. Heritage percussive instruments are met with resituated samples, decontextualized field recordings and the sonic properties of different fundamental states of mattersolid, liquid, gas, plasma. Drip sounds become rhythm, sonic smoke particles become resonant ambience, electrically charged glitches become the energy transistor of a track. The projects rhythms and timbres hint at ancient group ceremonies, with canonized chants sweeping around the sonic spectrum and different drum sequences syncopating, drifting apart and realigning. The overwhelming feeling that lingers, however, is that this experience is one powered by your own cognition, whether thats horizontally on your couch or bathed in fog on a dance floor with fellow dwellers. Katha Manjari is your guide for pure reality testing. For constructing a bridge through the mist between group ritual and solitary meditation.

H006
Label head Len Faki continues his legacy of personalized remixes with this two-tracker, combining a personal favorite of him with a more recent output from his peers. First up is the euphoric 010X by Benjaming Damage, whose anthemic chords have been ringing in our ears ever since its first release back in 2013. Faki reframes the standout lead and packages it neatly within his own jacking percussion, beefing up the low end and giving the melodic original a pronounced bassy drive. Rewinding yet another decade, Aquatrax Stabilize pulsates with the relentless energy of late 90s techno, formative years for Len Faki as an artist and also club regular. His take on the UK classic introduces a hypnotic dubby swirl, one of those perfect loops that is captivating from start to finish. The details ebb and flow with a subtlety unusual for his Hardspace alias, creating an immersive journey thats impossible to tap out of.

Beychen
Asans self-released Beychen EP is a raw odyssey through the chaos and catharsis of creation. Across four relentless tracks, the producer mirrors the turmoil of nearly losing their passion for musiconly to rediscover it by dismantling old habits and surrendering to the unknown. What emerges is a vortex of psychedelic techno, where layered rhythms spiral into the deep-down and morphing soundscapes warp time itself. The title track Beychen channels the claustrophobic unease of a creative block with its brainmelting progression, only to erupt in a complete loss of control and, therefore, relief. The other three tracks deliver visceral techno in similar fashion, each piece evolving like an own entity with hypnotic force. This is music for darkened rooms and muddy forest stages, where the dancefloor becomes a mirror for Asans internal reckoning. Here, the anxiety of creation is not conquered, but alchemized.

Dew And Smog EP
While everyone else was busy pushing the envelope and perfecting their DSP, Esa aka Lackluster, having grown up with computer chip sounds and early synthesizer music, ended up making simplistic melodies that twinkled in the twilight, shimmered in the dusk and glistened in the dawn, moist, lush, frank and honest. Being born in Finland led to a detectable melancholia and a juxtaposition of chilly coldness reminiscent of the Finnish winters and a mixture of dampness, warmth and morning dew-like freshness bearing a striking similarity in feel to the forests during the seasons of spring, summer and autumn. Esa was marinated in a layer of inspiration and support from fellow Finnish composers, helped along by luminaries such as Brothomstates (Warp) and also, early on, with the IDM/Electronica couplings of Merck Records, Neo Ouija and the tracker / demoscenes. Becoming known on deFocus as Lackluster, his debut album Container still remains as the most popular and appreciated and, more to the point, referred-to, record of his. Taking a step towards the leftfield directly after Container, led to the pure ambient and experimental drones of Esa Ruoho - another project that was about as far away from Lackluster as possible. Esa has also collaborated with Heikki Lindgren of Vongoiva - fully ambient drone releases as HLER followed from 2017 onwards - including hours and hours of live performances in the Finnish libraries and experimental ambient music festivals. This live sampling & looping collaboration also led to the birth of the Plugged Into Nothing-concept, i.e., two unplugged cables being manipulated and sampled using various apps and effects, a step into the direction of noisier, more textural, performances. Now, in 2024, we find Esa oscillating between the melodies and beats Lackluster, the ambience and experimental noise of Esa Ruoho, the collaborative live-sampling and looping of HLER, and also newer offshoots like pure frequencies and programming performance & compositional scripts for Pure Data and Renoise. His Dew and Smog EP is a collection of four tracks, made in the varied areas of the grayness of French Place, Shoreditch/London (Goodbye Frenchplace), in the middle of the morning during a rainstorm near the mountains of Rila/Bulgaria (Dew), the buzzed out suburbia of Kontula, Helsinki/Finland (Clavia Sunday Smog) - and the various areas of Belogradchik&Pomorie&Plane back to Finland from Bulgaria (Dubkop). The software and techniques might vary (ask if interested), but the person between the table and the device remains the same. Lacklusters EP with us features: Dubkop, Clavia Sunday Smog, Goodbye Frenchplace and Dew. They were all recorded in different countries at that time and appear here for the first time as an EP. Kicking off with Dubkop, this steady and hypnotic groove based piece of music reminds us very much of our encounter with the early released electronic records from Finnland although very different as it develops. By close review it unfolds much more of an ambient approach with its unique broadness and cinematic quality. Clavia Sunday Smog presents itself with a fusion of abstract industrial sounds and jazz inflected string sounds capturing the euphoric yet melancholic duality that defined that special era of the 90ies. The lush jazzy chords placed within a cold urban landscape create a striking contrast - where the fluent meets the rigid and evolves in an exotic escapist experience . Goodbye Frenchplace takes a turn towards the subterranean, its pulsating drone recalling the murkier corners of early Cabaret Voltaire but when you think the monotone minimalism of that time is carrying on, in comes jazzy stabs and soulful chord progression injecting warmth into the machine providing the track with a human touch. And then there is Dew - not so much a song as a slow-motion levitation. It glides, lingers and stretching endlessly over imagined landscapes. It has that hypnotic steady motion, that hovering quality which finds a way of getting under your skin in a magic way.

Loving Your Mind
Kim Rapatti, aka Mono Junk, is a key figure in Finnish techno, known for his deep, hardware-driven sound. A firm believer in analogue synthesis, he has been shaping raw and hypnotic club tracks since the early 90s, drawing inspiration from Detroit pioneers like Derrick May and Juan Atkins. His releases have appeared on his own imprint, DUM Records, as well as Skudge, Forbidden Planet, and most recently, Cold Blow--earning him a dedicated following among DJs and collectors. Recorded in Turku in 2002 using the Korg Minikorg 700s, Loving Your Mind showcases Mono Junks signature stripped-down grooves and live hardware improvisation--an essential pick for anyone seeking an authentic slice of early-2000s machine funk. Alongside the title track is Gamma, a previously unheard production that was commissioned as an exclusive for a highly regarded mix series, further cementing Mono Junks status as a trusted name in underground techno. Built around a percussive groove, a deep electro-funk bassline, and a four-to-the-floor pulse, the track unfolds in an atmospheric haze, balancing dancefloor functionality with hypnotic depth. The B-side features remixes from Katerina and Sansibar, two of Finlands most notable international breakthroughs in recent years, known for their modern yet timeless club productions that nod to classic techno and house. Katerina, a versatile DJ and producer with releases on Rekids, Running Back, and Comeme, transforms Loving Your Mind into a high-energy techno duet, layering her own vocals over the original vocal track, with her infectious synth lead as the icing on the cake. Sansibar, one of the fastest-rising names in the underground with releases on Kalahari Oyster Cult, WARNING, and Emotsiya, delivers a darker, four-to-the-floor rework--bringing a sinister edge while maintaining the raw energy of classic machine funk.

The Locked Room
Amsterdam-based LUAR steps into the spotlight for Observants 22nd release, delivering *The Locked Room*, a deeply cohesive and conceptually rich EP. Across five meticulously crafted tracks, LUAR presents a narrative where textured soundscapes and finely tuned rhythms flow seamlessly, creating an experience that feels raw, intelligent, and intricately detailed. Designed as a complete journey, each track contributes to the storyline, inviting listeners to navigate through its shadowy corridors. The EP opens with *Echo*, a shimmering and introspective piece where soft pulses and reverberating tones ripple outward, creating a sense of spatial depth. Following this, *Hidden Key* weaves together hypnotic layers of sound and evolving patterns, subtly building tension like a puzzle waiting to be solved. The title track, *The Locked Room*, anchors the release with a commanding low-end and meticulously arranged textures, evoking both unease and power in its deliberate, shadowy pacing. On the second half of the release, *Tripwire* shifts the energy, introducing fractured rhythms and taut percussive details that bristle with latent tension. *Walls Can Listen Too* leans into atmospheric unease, layering echoing synths and distant sonic distortions to evoke a palpable sense of surveillance. Closing the EP, LUAR softens the intensity with a contemplative finale, as cascading sounds and resonant frequencies offer a reflective and quiet resolution to this intricate sonic journey. With *The Locked Room*, LUAR cements their ability to craft cohesive, conceptually driven work that balances rhythmic precision with raw, emotional resonance. Observants 22nd catalog entry is a testament to storytelling through sound, and a release that will reward careful listening as its many layers reveal themselves.

Intertwined
Intertwined, the first collaborative EP by Paraiso founders Maria Amor & Shcuro, is up next on the decade-old Lisbon label. This pair of syncopated, energized, immersive techno tracks comes with remixes by Tresor residents Fireground and DCs own Black Rave Culture, a trio composed of James Bangura, Amal, and Nativesun. Waves of Hope opens the record in full force with a relentless beat that combines early 90s euphoric energy and jacked-up snares over a fat bassline, soulful pad progressions, technoid bleeps, dubby washes, and Maria Amors own soothing cut-up vocals, elegantly touching several foundational club music sounds through an inspired lens. On the A2, Hotspring Love brings levitating, airy textures and mixes them with subtle acid arpeggios, pure-hearted vocal melodies, and bouncy percussive accents. The rolling subwoofers of a proper techno party can practically be seen, the fast-paced kick perfectly perforating the bassline. Two remixes can be found on the B-side: first up is Berlin-based duo Fireground, who flip the original Waves of Hope into a more concise take, exploring its dub influences and adding in cinematic, ravey chord progressions to a hypnotizing, ecstatic effect. The italian duo add a distinct dose of Neapolitan techno, carrying the textured intensity of that unmistakable sound. Black Rave Culture pick up Hotspring Love and turn it into an ode to junglism, reappropriating the original pads in a classic DnB workframe with crisp breakbeats and an absolutely nasty bassline that no words can do justice to.

Reassembled features standout contributions from former Ostgut Ton label-mate Len Faki, techno master Chlär, DJs favourite producer Rene Wise, Spanish techno figurehead Oscar Mulero, and Slater himself. Driving drums, hypnotic vocals, and a subtle acid flair, Berlin-based techno powerhouse Len Faki delivers his reassembled take on Give It Up. Chlär reimagines Strange Attractor embodying slick weaving eerie sonic elements and hypnotic vocals. On the second reiteration of Give It Up, Len Faki delivers escalated urgency resounding through the track. Following with the prolific Oscar Mulero tweaking timeless sounds of Surface Noise. Rene Wise ventures into deeper, darker, less straight-forward territories with Luke Slaters 2017 Raid track. Oscar Mulero double downs on Surface Noise with a more raw, more chaotic and experimental version. Focused almost solely on percussive elements of the original track, its an elegance reimagined. Slater contributes three closing tracks, including Rip The Keys, a housier, glossy techno rendition; Desert Races, transformed into a fast-paced dancefloor cut; and Engage Now To Surface, which plunges into distorted depths to round off the release.

Circularity EP
After 4 years, label owner Deano returns with a new full solo EP on the imprint. Often known for his more minimalistic productions, this release takes a different turn showing Deanos renditions of driving, raw sounds for dark rooms. Revisions is a saturated combination of classic bleep techno motifs and galloping low-end rhythms. With a slow-building arrangement and simple sound palette, this track bridges the gap between the hypnotic and the forceful. On a similar tip, Discordance is as the name suggests. Rooted on a thumping off-beat rhythm, the discordant synth sequence runs throughout the track whilst morphing at key moments and following claps and hip-shaking percussion that retain the groove. Continuing the energy from the A-Side, the title track Circularity employs a more playful arrangement with percussive elements that emerge and retract at surprising moments. The synth elements also take on a percussive quality giving the track its rhythmic delight. Closing things out is Grit, the deeper the cut of the package. While retaining the raw quality of the release, this track employs immersive synths and soundscapes for introspection.

Layers
A pulse that fractures, rhythms that collapse into themselves, and textures that stretch time—Rostøms latest EP is a statement of raw intensity and calculated chaos. Built on percussive pressure and hypnotic sonic structures, this release carves out a space where tension and movement coexist in a delicate balance. Distorted resonances, fragmented polyrhythms, and mechanical pulses form the backbone of a work that refuses to conform. Each sound is sculpted with precision, yet carries an organic unpredictability that blurs the line between control and entropy. This is techno at its most unrelenting, where every element is stripped down to its essence and pushed to its limit. Rostøm delivers a release that is as cerebral as it is physical—a deep dive into hypnotic density and rhythmic deconstruction. More than just club music, this EP is an exploration of momentum, weight, and sonic rupture, demanding full immersion. Artwork by Fausto Masters by Schrzø

Solve Et Coagula
In an era where techno is being dominated by two opposite, but equally mindless and equally loud factions: the its not so serious, kick goes boom tribe and the pseudo-intellectual, hypno-blip cult; Scalameriya cuts through the noise and calls for a recalibration of what club music can be. Mere entertainment for the weekend? Always and forever, but is that really enough and does it have to be only that? Solve Et Coagula offers a deeper, conceptual experience and invites listeners to lose themselves in a world where surgically precise sound design fuses with raw dancefloor-energy; and to allow untamed creativity to entertain their mind just as much as their body. This isnt music for the algorithm. Its for the ones still searching, still listening. Escape the oppression of mediocrity; the false wisdom of mindless philosophers and their hollow bodies of work.

Songs Of Love And Decay
Dekmantel UFO Series continues its resurgent form with a new album of bruising, industrial wave and techno from Broken English Club. UK techno mainstay Oliver Ho debuted his dark and brooding alias more than 10 years ago with a release on Jealous God under the guidance of the late, great Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) Songs Of Love And Decay is explicitly dedicated to Mendez, whose influence runs deep in this seductively sinister corner of underground, independent electronic music. Within the overarching aesthetic of the Broken English Club sound, Ho finds the freedom to deliver a full spectrum album as diverse as it is consistent. You can sense the shadow of his roots in 90s tribal techno punching through on Crawling and Death Cult, while England Heretic leans on thick swathes of analogue synthesis indebted to Giallo soundtracks and the ever-compelling lure of 80s synthwave. In its grinding layers of distortion and dubbed out vocals Vessel Of Skin speaks more to the post-punk influences which have set Broken English Club apart since the outset. This isnt a purely retro-fetishist expedition, though Pacific Island Kill and Lost Gods exude stark modernism in their sharply-angled sequences and dramatic sound design, moving beyond the functional demands of 4/4 dance music to reach to more cinematic zones. These are but some of the approaches Ho burrows into as he shapes out the depth and breadth of his muse on Songs Of Love And Decay. Its marked by the undeniable impact of his production, perfected over a decades-deep career at the bleeding edge of machine music. At times the album celebrates the addictive thrust of the dancefloor, while elsewhere it relishes the tension of suspended animation. Throughout, the gritty veneer binds together this accomplished, uncompromising body of work as both a fierce artistic statement and a loving tribute to Mendez an artist who equally embodied the darker side of the dance.

Ipso Facto
For his next Token EP, Kr!z delivers squelchy synth sequences over robust kicks, reinforcing his no-nonsense approach to club music. Classic in its conception yet psychotic in effect, Ipso Facto is a record built for powerful sound systems during the nights most delirious moments. First impressions are important; the Belgian producer has never been one to waste time, and this record is no exception. What you hear is what you get—an anxiously slithering synth line makes his intentions clear in Defeat the Purpose, driving people to the dancefloor. Dry drum machine work thunders throughout, locking in the Token style with precision. Moving into the next track, Chrome Dust focuses more on the tonal side of things and its irresistible groove makes it an instant ear catcher. Playful rides and snares shape the progression, with Kr!z swapping percussion elements to keep the movement lively. The title track is a true hip swinger on the B1 as he reaches in the low end of the synth sequence to establish a very compelling rhythm. Everything in its right place, and not a hair more, the percussion transitions are reminiscent of his 4 channel DJ sets, the energy always being on the move. Equilibrium closes the EP with high energy, opening up filters over a reliably bouncy rhythm. Years of experience behind the decks can be very instructive for a perceptive producer, and Kr!z proves us just that in this track and in the whole EP.

Everything Is Porridge
Measure Divide makes his full debut EP for Mutual Rytm X with his latest release, Everything Is Porridge. Karachi-born artist Measure Divide now resides in Toronto, where his FORMAT parties have revived the techno scene over the last decade. In that time, he has eschewed techno by numbers with innovative sounds on Clergy and Mutual Rytm while appearing at iconic clubs like Berghain, K41 (∄ ) and Tresor. Outside of the underground, he has years of experience in sound design and scoring for animations and films, and that is what he channels here into a uniquely playful sound with a vibrant and playful departure from his usual serious tones for his first full EP on SHDWs Mutual Rytm X. A record for adventurous DJs and listeners craving bold, mischievous and innovative sounds, the EPs title, inspired by an inside joke about calling anything edible porridge, reflects the chaotic and unpredictable state of the world - a mushy mix of uncertainty. This same unpredictability shines through the tracks, which combine techno, breaks, modular experimentation and plenty more. The superbly original title cut begins with a restless mix of unusual percussive sounds and fizzing synths over thudding drums. Its tense and twisted and sounds like nothing else. Wormy Wonderland is another brilliantly out- there cut with freaky noises and scuzzy textures over body-popping techno drums, and Eeeeeermmmm then slows down with a menacing synth buzz and caustic broken beats. Digital bonus tracks Shrew Cascade and Clumsy Clatter further challenge techno norms with watery sound effects, twisted synth lines and inventive rhythmical patterns.
