MAURIZIO CASCELLA Vinilo y CD

Review: The Remodel label is back with a second in its series and another four chapters from another fine selection of contemporary underground talents. We don't know who is behind which track here but we do know it's a limited pressing so move fast if you want to snap up the deep rolling and moody techno of 'Chapter 5' which gets things underway. 'Chapter 6' then gets more raw and lumpy, with woody hits and heady drum rotations locking you in before 'Chapter 7' takes you up amongst the stars with more trippy cosmic keys and floats pads, then 'Chapter 8' rounds out with more dark, subterranean techno moodiness.

Review: Quindici delivers a potent dose of cutting-edge techno, packed into six tracks on a single vinyl, courtesy of Attic Music records. On Side-1, Conrad Van Orton kicks things off with 'Person Of Interest,' a percussive and loopy journey through techno's rhythmic intricacies. Following up is Pyramidal Decode's 'Finalizzazione,' a hard-hitting, sinister banger that demands attention. Collaborators Maurizio Cascella & Fabrizio Lapiana contribute 'Untitled,' adding depth and mystery to the sonic landscape. On Side-2, Kaiser presents 'The Laboratory,' a melodic and eerie techno builder that captivates with its hypnotic allure. Mary Yuzovskaya's 'Busy' follows suit, enveloping listeners in dark, foreboding atmospheres reminiscent of cavernous depths. Closing the compilation is Allen's 'Gate Array,' a track that exudes an enigmatic aura, leaving a lasting impression with its intricate sound design and emotive resonance. 'Quindici' is a testament to the innovation and diversity within the techno genre, offering a captivating sonic journey for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
