I can't believe no one's said anything about this release! Put simply, 'Incident' is an absolute monster of a track, so different to most techno tracks released before or since. It combines pounding rhythms with unbelievably funky loops and some really emotive piano chords which make the track instantly recognisable. This is possibly my favourite techno track of all time! On the flip side, 'Shining' is a slightly deeper and more repetitive affair with some trancey synth pads thrown into the mix. A decent track in its own right but not a patch on incident. The version found here is also inferior to the remixes found on the vinyl release of voorn's album - Future History.

One of the most prolific producers in the techno scene for a few years now, Paul Mac's unique style blends house and acid elements with funky and percussive techno rhythms. Like his Dutch contemporary Joris Voorn he also has a great sense of melody and many of his tracks feature waves of shimmering synth chords in a slightly trancey vein. One thing that strikes me about Paul Mac is the incredible diversity of his productions, yet they all retain his trademark sound, coming across as much more organic than many other techno artists. All these factors come together to make Paul one of the finest producers in contemporary techno along with artists such as Hertz and Joris Voorn, and all his numerous releases are well worth taking a look at.
