A1. You Are A2. Alert B1. Zerone B2. Between
The latest drop from Retrometro is not for the faint-hearted, as Germany's Myk Derill brings the metal machine music.
You Are is a stomp and grind monster, with speaker-troubling kicks and torture chamber soundscapes. Zerone is a brutal, relentless Berlin warehouse workout, with deep reverbs, on-point percussion and a juicy roll on the low end.
Alert brings yet more of the factory floor pump, with its white noise build-ups and decayed percussion. And the caustic rhythms and haunting synths of Between bring another dynamic to the EP!
Bruising!

upc: 5051083075633 release date: 14.10.2013 tracklist:A1. Nonsense A2. Decision B1. Nonsense (Myk Derill Remix) B2. Imprinted
It's been a while since we've heard a jam as bruising as Nonsense. Titles in techno often don't tell you much, and we'd go as far as to say this badboy is really more no-nonsense. This one will blow the stack, with cavernous kicks, down-the-line 909 claps and hats, and good old fashioned warehouse bells.
Decision is a jackin factory floor jam. Spitting percussion that's reverbed to the roof, combines with a one-note synth and pacy high-end work for a full-on strobe light track. Myk Derill goes DIY on his re-work of Nonsense, bringing more detailed rhythm work and creating a dynamic jam that ebbs and flows, constantly moving in and out of focus. Polishing off this belting release is Imprinted - an atmospheric sci-fi rhythm reminiscent of Convexion or even Monolake - a very nice little surprise on an otherwise heads-down release.

A1. Minotaur A2. Freak Lip B1. Minotaur (ROD Remix) B2. Minotaur (Antigone Remix)
A friend of ours wrote a magazine article a couple of years ago saying that the one good thing about the credit crunch was that it would give the warehouse party scene a boost. For some reason that hasn't quite happened yet - but we refuse to give up hope. And to prove it, we have got a belter for you on Retrometro. Detect Audio are Arnaud Le Texier and Antonio De Angelis. Between them they've clocked up and impressive catalogue of releases on Cocoon, Bass Culture, 2020 Vision, Syncrophone, Gynoid, OFF, Leftroom and Children of Tomorrow. And they don't disappoint here. Minotaur brings heavy, upfront kicks and unrelenting perc drive together with a smooth and infectious Convexion-style synth line. Freak Lips is a cranked-up ghost-in-the-machine groove, and Leadings is a precision-engineered destroyer. In addition, ROD has filed a pacey rework of Minotaur, which comes through with a Hardgroove flavour and a no-prisoners bass drive. Meanwhile Antigone turns up the dub pressure in his remix, combining discombobulating pads and tooth-shattering bleep to massive effect. This one really has to be listened to through a massive wall of speakers in a building made of asbestos. But if you can't find one, a nightclub will just have to do… Either way, make sure you've got a penny on top of the needle, because it's heavy.
