Toma Hawk, Dr.Acid – Velvet
(Spotify)

Toma Hawk is back with a brand-new collaboration with the elusive Dr Acid and by no means are they messing about! ‘Velvet’ is a serious Techno tune that has a complex drum-like rhythm and driving energy to ease the listener in before the haunting robotic elements quickly introduce the heart-pounding bass.

After 1 minute, the full beat is brought in with the power of making you lose yourself within the music. The mid-section completely cuts out with waves of synths flowing in and out of the music and adding yet another element of drama. ‘Velvet’ is everything you could want from a techno tune and is capable of transporting you to the middle of the dancefloor at a techno rave.

This release also features remixes from DJ Ralph and Marcel Warren along with Toma Hawk’s extra Mon.Ton remix. A treat for the ears and soul!

DJ Ralph is a true pioneer of the French Techno scene and rubs shoulders with legends such as Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier and Sven Väth. His take on Toma Hawk’s ‘Velvet’ features lots of euphoric melodies, robotic sounds and a hard-hitting beat which offers a complete transformation as he flaunts his producing skills.

Marcel Warren is a long-time friend of Toma and has an incredible career where he has played iconic clubs such as Privilege, Manga Rosa and Matrixx, his remix, again, offers a fresh interpretation where he has imprinted his own signature style and has made an anthem for the clubs.

Toma Hawk came from a big musical family and draws influences from genres such as classical, pop, rock and electronic which all culminate into stand-out productions which have stood the test of time as his career has spanned over the last 25 years. Having worked with many great producers and artists over time, Toma Hawk has become a staple in the underground Techno scene.

Velvet is out now on Toma Hawk’s Lakota Records.

ED.E – Rattle (Spotify)

ED.E – Rattle
(Spotify)

Eddie Edwardson – better known to us as ED.E has been a steady presence on the buzzing underground in recent years on the back of a string of sturdy electronic releases that have been picking up momentum in the scene through an ever-growing listenership and through selective DJs alike.

Leading the two-tracker package is ‘Rattle’ a upfront and bass-heavy Techno workout that shows off ED.E’s production finesse with a flurry of raw and analogue sounding bass synths and hypnotic synths that intertwine with the eerie vocals that lace in-between the melodic elements. On the hefty drops – we are treated to a grinding synth scrape that unleashes a grizzly atmosphere and haunting energy that is predominantly designed to be heard at increased volumes on a system that can properly disperse the crafted sub weight and energy.

On the flip-side ED.E shows off ‘Timeless’ which provides an entrée of sizzling distortion FX and atmospherics over a crunchy kick drum and his signature synth growls to set the scene for another poignant vibe. More euphoric melodies takeover control on the breaks before a thoroughly trippy stack of arpeggios and vocal hits are halted by the return of the hefty bass and kick workout routine that the main body is constructed from.

ED.E once again shows us that he’s a Producer that knows the roots and bones of how to construct professional Techno records and this double package will take a spot alongside a discography that is both impressive and extensive.

‘Rattle’ is out now on Stazis labelled STAZIS198 and makes for a cracking addition to a label that has earned a reputation for showcasing some of the best emerging talents in the scene.

DJ Jordan – Natural Beauty
(Spotify)

Hungry Koala Records are already a firmly regular sight in the top 100 charts across the underground electronic music genres and their tough push into 2020 has seen that rapid growth continue on the back of a stellar line of new releases. Picking up and running with the torch this month is one of Berlin’s finest DJ Jordan – a highly-regarded DJ/Producer who can regularly find directing crowds at some of the cities most infamous Techno hotspots. On the back of a Beatport #01 to wrap up 2019 – we’ve come to expect big things from this talented beat-master and ‘Natural Beauty’ fits right into that classic discography of his.

Snapping into life with a harsh and heavily distorted kick and bass pattern – that vintage DJ Jordan menace is here in full force as he swerves and slides through barrages of militant rhythmic rolls, eerier SFX, vocal blurts and haunting synths that build and build into a crescendo of electronic dominance. The breaks allow a moment to breathe, but not for long as the fills, FX and modulation build up to a boiling hot drop that lets off a juggernaut drop that is tailor made for dancefloor damage. As if this banger of a track was not enough, we’re also treated to three further interpretations from Pomella, M.O.B.A and QUAL & FREUDE – all of them individual and offering a different vibe for a variety of club uses for the discerning DJ.

Famous on the underground for keeping a raw and upfront vibe to his records – some things never change and DJ Jordan’s aptitude for banging club music remains firmly intact after a long and winding career on the scene. Right at home on Hungry Koala Records – this is another shining example of why the label has become one of the most subscribed to imprints in the Techno-sphere.

‘Natural Beauty’ is out May 25th and will be available on all good digital music stores and streaming platforms.

Four Hands (GER) – Reminisce
(Spotify)

German producers Four Hands kick off their new label Verspielt with the release of Modulate EP which marks the start of a new venture into the depths of electronic music and the subtle nuances of exploring the boundaries of traditional genres.

‘Reminisce’ is a blockbuster production that deconstructs the Techno, House and Trance genres and reimagines the constructs of each variety for a record that showcases their skillsets with a 2020 take on the recent unification of melodic dance music with a more underground outlook that leans into the modern Techno vibe.

Shuttling right out of the gates with a pumping and bass-heavy kick, the record quickly cracks into action with a supple low end sub bass and soft teasing intros of the synths that hark back to classic euphoric styles with an ominous and modernised format. Licks of synth leads scatter high, low and then direct through the middle of the spectrum to give a three-dimensional soundscape that absorbs layers of melody from every angle both wide and through the middle of the sonic field. The middle breaks start to feel more Progressive as layers begin to stack up and the complexity of the production becomes clearer than the simpler intro might suggest. Listen closer and you can detect the melodic layers are stacked through multiple channels of arpeggiators, stabs and a gliding melody that all twist and turn to become one. Nothing in the production is there as filler content, but every slick hook, melody and run of FX seems to be planned and executed with purpose, the mark of a powerful electronic music record in our ears. This is a slick production that shows attention to detail, respect for the engineering process and creativity in abundance.

It’s a bold first entry from Verspielt Musik and Four Hands, but if this is the debut – we can only assume that 2020 is going to be a busy and exciting year ahead if there’s more to come from the beat-lab where this jewel was cooked up.

‘Reminisce’ is out now as a part of the Modulate EP and launches the new Verspielt Musik project into action.

Tableland – My Dreams Are Slowly Dying
(Spotify)

Following Tableland’s debut release at the end of the decade that picked up support from the likes of DJ Bone, Danny Daze, Laurent Garnier, Jon Hester and Nemone on BBC 6 Music, the Girls of the Internet producer re-joins his self-titled imprint in 2020. The Girls Of The Internet continue to feed their superb reputation of delivering funk-fuelled electronics that draws inspiration from a variety of electronic music styles from the last 40 years.
‘My Dreams Are Slowly Dying’ kicks things off with pulsating kicks, undulant euphoria in the form of dreamy leads and stabbing melodies that fluctuate throughout. ‘Pyramid Scheme’ surges into squeaky modulations, jazzy tones and funky atmospherics that rolls with vibrant energy while ‘Charlie + Suzie’ offers up shuffling rhythms, subdued yet emotive synths underneath clattering highs and snares that get introduced in the latter stages.
Flowing grooves, a sultry sax line and inviting soulful elements take the focus in ‘This Must Be The Place’ before ‘Wormwood’ rounds off the enchanting EP with a calming house cut harmonising together exquisite keys, deep bass vibrations and uplifting oscillations which carry you away until the end.
