Los Angeles is a hot bed of underground techno and killer all night parties. At the center of all of this is the duo of Acid Circus(Droid Behavior) who control much of the movements sonically and at the events. The brothers 'V' inspire this Tora release with heavy influence from Venetian Snares (ie. see title). The main cut throbs with a hypnotic vocal chant and incredible bass. Both a DJ tool and dance magnet. 'Dark Wave' continues this approach this time with chilling reverb attacks and more bass. Label head Dietrich Schoenemann strips it back to almost a constant loop and still manages to sneak more bass in.

French duo first release on Tora. Title cut is already getting massive play from the likes of Vath and Aquaviva. Resonant electrofied rhythms roll together as the melody snaps back and stabs at the mix. Peak is heavy before the groove funk backs it up. Electro house at it's finest. Flip side is 'Mondo Dingo'. Making use of 3am timespot it is a sparse electronic house groove that blends techno like synthesizers from out of space with the solid back beat. Trapez style track. More
