Kirik - Dance of Confusion [Simbioza Records]<br />
4 tracks of blissful deep tech house music from Kirik, with the bonus of Mikhu on the<br />
remix as well. All 3 originals have the distinctive swag of Kirik’s style, “Dance of<br />
Confusion” and “Everything we say” keeping things quite subdued whilst still being<br />
able to do the damage when needed. “Paradise only” ups the energy. Finally to<br />
round things off Mikhu takes on the title track of the EP and gives it a summery<br />
outdoor vibe.<br />

Teenage Mutants, Heerhorst – PTT [Terminal M Records]<br />
Terminal M Records brings the heat with three heavy hitting techno numbers.<br />
Those familiar with the Terminal M sound will know what to expect here. “PTT”<br />
kicks off with rolling basslines and huge kick drums. ”Tut Ench Amour” brings<br />
more trance elements into the mix, whilst “Angel Dust” rounds things off with<br />
more of that signature Terminal M sound. Great stuff.<br />

Umwelt - Dead Eyes Society [Monnom Black]<br />
30 years in the making, Umwelt’s new album takes on a journey through the sounds of<br />
techno. Weaving between the grooves of “Captive Universe” and “The Lost Dreamer” and<br />
the frenetic energy of tracks of `”Cosebreaker” and “Generation One”, it’s a great<br />
collection of heavy techno. Amazing work from one of the greats of underground techno<br />
