Exhibition Vinilo y CD

Review: Rico Friebe and Rico Puestel's YKMU on Exhibition delivers two main room tracks perfect for energising the dancefloor. 'YKMU (You Keep Me Up)' is an energetic anthem with big vocals and hand-raising moments. Its epic 90s Balearic sounds and storming piano riffs create a vibrant, nostalgic atmosphere that's sure to captivate the crowd. 'My Word & Sound' keeps the momentum with a peaker track that features vocoder elements, adding a futuristic twist to the mix. The driving beats and infectious energy make it a standout for late-night sets. Friebe and Puestel's ability to craft compelling, dancefloor-ready tracks are evident here with these two real burners.

Review: Two minimal heavyweights pair up for this new 12" on Exhibition and offer up a trio of expertly crafted tracks for late-night sessions. Turn kicks off with warped vocals and organic, wooden-sounding percussive details while the lurching beat rolls below. 'Turnapella' strips away everything to leave the filtered vocal as a tool for adventurous DJs, then 'Grow' is a nice minute trip into sombre chords and downbeat minimal drums that are perfect for cosy back rooms in the wee small hours of the night.

Review: Rico Puestel is part of the techno furniture and has always explored the genre's frontier, free from fads and trends. This latest drop comes as a hand-stamped one-sided 12" limited to 100 copies on Exhibition. 'We're Younger' sets to work over the course of more than 10 minutes, and not a second is wasted. Right from the off it is a mind-melting track with a real physical impact - the drums are raw and heavy, synths are twisted into all sorts of shapes, funky guitar riffs pop out the mix and menacing vocals add further layers of girt and grime to this warehouse banger.

Review: Deep techno mainstay Rico Puestel has many killer cuts in his back catalogue and now he has decided to remaster and repress some of them. The Undeniable Classics Vol 1 is a bold title for your own work but the tunes stand up, thankfully. This is the first time these have actually been available on vinyl too so do not sleep as 'Volute' is a perfect early evening roller with dubby drums and languid hits that hook you in and get you ready for more. 'Remembering October 3rd' is a cut for the early mornings with soulful pads and vocals soundtracking the moment the sun first peaks through the blinds.

Review: Techno veteran Rico Puestel is back with a new album that tries to answer the question 'If Techno has left the building, what is actually left of it?' The original sessions for this music also gave rise to the first album in this series but now get offered up as 'The Aftermath.' They find Rico tapping into pure body music, 90s techno and hefty club sounds that unfold on chunky, physical rhythms with all manner of tripped-out, industrial, dark and deft sound designs and rusty synths up top. Proper techno for proper clubs.
