Jan Driver is in need of no introduction to the Techno community. Sporting some truly destructive 
tunes such as the well-received ‘Rat Alert’ on Made to Play Recordings, he has become one of the many Berlin based Techno triumphs of late. The b-side here on Malente & Dex’s Lions E.P, is reworked with atmospheric wildlife documentary echoes on the intro, gently surmounting to a whistling resonating electro pulse. Jan drops the tempo into a subtle wavering minimal build, and climaxes in a whir of foreign growls and disgruntled gangster chopped vocals. Deceptively smooth, yet very hectic.

Congorock take their slippery, slidey theme park fun synth lines, into the mad-house scene once more. Fall off the edge and go Wild West, all for the price of a cheap head fuck on this one. Innovative forward thinking production on what could be another sterile release on the fidget scene. Find ‘Hybro’ on their ‘Runark’ E.P on Beatport.
Dorian Concept is an A class producer, with crunch bopping constructions that are pioneering an amass of leftfield electronic offbeat tomfoolery. ‘Vertical Ouput’ is taken from the ‘Maximised Minimilization’ E.P. Check out Dorian’s amusing blog posts on his myspace page.

This one’s an old one by Rustie but it’s still fresh off his Glaswegian block, as the title of his E.P ‘Café de Phresh’ so succinctly suggests. Having seen him at Warehouse Project just a few nights ago, at the much anticipated and sold out Thrasher night. It’s safe to say that the hype around Rustie’s mesmerizing skippity, trippy hip-hop sets are something to be rivaled with.
I know the posts have been coming at a sluggish pace of late, but unfortunately university sometimes dictates that you have to work every now and then. So here’s a random selection, but I hope you enjoy.
