Review: Innervisions presents the 14th edition of its Secret Weapons series. This breaks-inflected, glossy, and high-octane release is emblematic of what we might call experimental EDM, all of which is chart-worthy yet not overblown. Glowal's 'Encore' opens the compilation, Bicep-style, in which we hear rave-trance stabs complemented by military snare rolls in the pre-drop, before a triumphant breakbeat sets in thereafter. It gets weirder and weirder from there, as 'Olden Daze' opts for all kinds of experimental tomfoolery, and 'Ara' works jackin' house vocal science into a beat more fitting for '70s industrial music than the '20s charts. This is an eclectic yet euphoric dance compilation from the masterminds Dixon and Ame.

Review: Innervisions is one of those house labels that has become synonymies with a certain lifestyle. It has a distinctive sound - emotional, synth-laced house, always with an artful edge. It always offers up well-crafted sounds, never more so than in its on going Secret Weapons series. This 16th volume is a bumper collection across four slabs of wax that takes in the deep, dramatic, rising tension of Ivory's 'Could You Feel The Love?', the more grizzled broken beats of David Kochs & John Falke and Hardt Antoine's slow burning synth house epic 'Inside Your Mind' as well as much more besides.
