Back catalogue: All genres

Review: This slab of wax serves up three electrifying cuts that will satisfy any electro enthusiast's cravings. With its futuristic, flighty vibe, the title track 'Drive By' immediately grabs attention with its vintage-inspired electro sound. The synths are crisp, and the rhythm is punchy, making it a great nod to classic electro, yet with a modern flair. The first remix by Christian AB, Autopilot mix 1, channels a Kraftwerk-like feel, infusing the track with electro that's perfect for breakdancing. It's a highly energetic rework, leaning into the mechanical, hypnotic elements that define the genre. The second remix, Autopilot mix 2, delves deeper into the groove, with a more prominent bassline and intricate rhythm patterns. This version ups the intensity, giving the track a fresh, updated vibe while maintaining the raw energy of its predecessor. With Christian AB and UK electro veterans Transparent Sound at the helm, this 12" delivers a standout set of tracks that balance classic electro with cutting-edge production.

Review: Nicole and Troy's latest collaboration sharpens their vision for Cath Records, the Berlin-based label they launched as a home for boundary-pushing techno. Their stripped-back but potent style thrives on precision, drawing from deep club lineage while keeping an eye on the future. 'Out Of Control' is a lean, tunnelling workout, its tension amplified by Z@p, the Uruguayan producer whose percussive, swing-heavy take on techno has earned him a cult following. His remix reshapes the track with a ghostly, skipping momentum. 'Woo Woo' flexes a rubbery, low-end groove, built for peak-time propulsion, while 'Fractals' twists through warped, off-kilter sequencing. A sharp, high-pressure release that reinforces the duo's deft touch.

Review: Tooflie's latest offering dives into the allure of French pop's vocal sensuality that weaves intricate production with global influences. The opener, 'CS VG,' anchors the release with its half-step beat that flows through grainy tonal shifts and rhythms, twisting familiar elements into something new and magnetic. Its dreamy, almost spectral feel is offset by sharper, more defined edges, creating an engaging dynamic that keeps the energy fluid yet charged. As the record progresses, 'BLORN' introduces a more laid-back groove, combining minimalist funk with a sense of melancholic soul, perfect for late-night listening. The flipside continues to surprise, with 'KRLE' and 'JUWRK' fusing breakbeat elements with soft digital textures, offering a distinct and refined energy. Tooflie expertly blends the experimental with the accessible, crafting a release that's both bold and sophisticated, ready to ignite the most discerning dancefloors.

Review: Tora takes flight on a new voyage to the outer edges of the electro universe with his new EP Artemis, which comes in four parts. These are seriously evocative and cinematic sounds starting with the high speed and kinetic drum patterns and rumbling basslines of 'Artemis (One)'. 'Artemis (Two)' has the same sort of snappy drums and hits but is a little more nuanced with extra space for the beats to land. 'Artemis (Three)' gets raw with aliens in the machines and squelchy acid and 'Artemis (Four)' brings things to a close with plunging bass and edgy dial tones that keep you on your toes.

Review: Brighton's underground mainstay, StandUp, celebrates its own launch with a debut EP from Bognor-based electro pioneers Transparent Sound (Tresor), celebrating the project's 30th anniversary. Through electro and breakbeat, the title number secures high-octane dancefloor power, while label founder Oren's remix marks a deeper, atmospheric turn. On the B, 'Get Up' brings acid-laced grooves, and Forgotten Memories shifts to introspective melodies over Orson's signature hits. A dynamic four-tracker, setting a bold foundation for StandUp's future.

Review: Passing Currents aims to stand out from the predictable by offering a deeply human touch in its music. This five-tracker backs that up by melding academic expertise with dancefloor intuition and the A-side features txted by Phil Moffa remixed by Yamaha DSP coder okpk after they met during doctoral studies, they flip technical mastery into bass-driven energy while Atrevido' fuses California warmth with analogue electro, Josh Dahlberg's rediscovered 2009 electro gem, 'Ass On The Floor', still bangs and Detroit's Kevin Reynolds delivers hypnotic grooves before Hazmat Live pushes boundaries with a sound rooted in soulful, experimental innovation.
