Superior techno; the sort I've been patiently waiting for through years of junk mnml and electro (sic) house crap. TPH delivers four tracks of tuff percussion, broken beats, an occasional mad frequency; all an antidote to boredom. Well recommended for those who like the trope stuff.

This is sick bass music at its sickest. Great low end, mentasm stabs, and Flowdan's vocals are perfect. Metalheadz have unearthed another diamond. I'm gonna batter it into atoms.

Alex Bau rarely disappoints, and he's failed to do so again with this excellent 12. Driving techno with tight beats and rolling sub bass. Effects over the top that hook you in, and, overall the usual Driving Forces/Alex Bau vibe that makes them both major players in the scene. Oh, and I love the robot artwork.

I guess this what is being called Bass Music? Sick jungle style dubstep with a '93/94 feel. An appropriate title. Headblowing stuff. Swampman's a heavyweight mover with a dark bassline and subtle percussion.

It's all about the Joey Beltram remix for me, this one. Nice and tough with loops that give it a 90s/early noughties feel. A worthy addition to a collection. Jon Gurd's mix is mellower and nice. Rich Jones will surely be pleased with these.

This is more like it. This 12's all about enjoyment rather than some po-faced musical 'development' that bores everyone. Neil Landstrumm's covers of Blake Baxter's 'Sexuality' and Beltram's 'Energy Flash' have been reprogrammed entirely from scratch, and are quirky and fun. Matt Whitehead's acid house contributions are an old skool feel, and up there with the best of 'em. Great dance trax, and I hope this step back in time is a sign of the future vibe.

Der Verfall is the best thing I've heard for years, a buzzing sagezahn hammer that twists and bangs, and is a great trip of pleasure. A genuine bomb. 2-1 is what you think it is, the most successful (I believe) Welt in Scherben release remastered, and a welcome trip back in time. Buy this 12, and batter it into meaningless static.

Superb sci-fi techno, with klaxon like blasts and beeps, and a hypnotic female vox sample. Best Overdrive for ages. The B side has a vocodered intro and tough sounds and bassline. Proper techno as it should be.

This really does sound like it's from 1988/89, and could easily be dropped into a set from that era
Great 303 and spoken samples, with the additional accapella bonus

How good is this tune? Germany-cum-Sheffield with bleeps, low end, dark synth chords and vox samples straight outta GTO. A true masterpiece of bleep house, sounding as good as it did twenty years ago.
