SlugoS — Heretical Subversion

music reviews techno

3 July 2023

SlugoS delivers a dark atmospheric and driving techno album on German Sacred Court, imprint label run by SNTS. The LP format is rarely exploited by producers nowadays, but he luckily gets back to it and delivers a beautifully crafted album that evolves and brings a diverse set of sounds from start to end.

TKNS — Caecus Nervi

music reviews techno

29 March 2023

In the vast world of groove-ridden art such as techno, many of the offerings are simply reinternations of what a certain tune made work, often the same ideas get recycled in slightly different packages, and most importantly it’s often that the producer loses his vision and meaning with the sound he delivers. But if we were to get stuck at what the mainstream (even of the underground) offers, we’d be in depression and crying out loud that nothing is good anymore, that things aren’t as they used to be, just a general negative connotation of music.

music reviews techno

18 March 2023

You wake up one day and it’s the end of the 90’s, back when they started making it rawest, the sludgy and aggressive tribal techno is at its peak and mister dj bluegucci takes the stage with this 3-track EP consisting of totalitarian powerful grooves accompanied by saturated bass lines that always compliment and playfully bounce together with sharp and crazy, punchy kicks.

Rrose — Tulip Space

23 February 2023

The six tracks that make up Rrose’s latest EP, Tulip Space, fit together like a puzzle that doesn’t resemble the image on the box. Expectations be damned.

PMG Kolektiv － Rezonator

electronic music reviews

12 February 2023

Rezonator is the debut album by Macedonian electronic band PMG Kolektiv, released in 2007 and produced by Mirko Popov, Robotek and a few other friends from the collective.

Year 2007 was a different universe for Macedonia, realising that just 6 years before, we have somehow survived a civil war, and just one year back in 2006 the controversial right-wing dictator Gruevski had just started his 10 year reign which left the country decapitated and split like never before, effects which will be felt for many years to follow.

27 October 2022

Ravers and raverettes, last weekend as I was browsing through some internet pages to discover new music from the industrial sphere of sonics, I stumbled upon this guy Speedy J, a name that I’ve encountered several times before, but for some reason never went beyond to explore his offerings.

11 August 2022

Caedite Eos is pleased to present a various artist EP for its second release. This time _asstnt, Leo Laker, Voight Kampff and SlugoS are the ones in charge to deliver four peak-time killer tracks, keeping the same spirit as the first release: pure hard techno with an experimental touch.

Zomby ‎– Where Were U In ’92?

electronic music reviews

12 March 2022

I discovered Zomby through his releases on Hyperdub, and his catalogue of music threw me off: this guy was all over the place with ‘badboi’ riddims, dub and rave fused together so well, that he easily takes one of the top places of artists which influenced me and my music taste as I continued forward.

DJ Bazootka – All ‘Bout Vice

music reviews techno

22 October 2021

DJ Bazootka returns in full-length operandi, this time emphasising on ethereal, no-holds-barred brutal mayhem in 15 nodes of chaotic transmission.
“No one has to do something he doesn’t want to do for the rest of his life, but, then again, if that’s what you wind up doing, by all means convince yourself that you had to do it – you’ll have lots of company.” – Hunter S. Thompson, April 1958

Likvidator – Tripping Over God

electronic music reviews

5 July 2019

I first came across Likvidator back in mid-2016 whilst reviewing an album he’d collaborated on. Upon investigation, I was struck by the diversity of his sound, as there were elements of illbient, dark hop, and noise littered across his freshman EP.
