"Proper destroyer," is what somebody said and it's probably the best description you'll hear for this new Syncom Data release. Syncom Data teams up with Finnish/Dutch vocalist Saara Soini for "Rumpukone". Inspired by "Me and My Rhythm Box" from the 1982 film "Liquid Sky", Saara Soini delivers a powerful vocal performance on razorsharp beats and acidic textures by Syncom Data. Drenched in shuffling machine distortion "Rumpukone" marches merciless on funky boots through moist and dark techno cellars. There's an instrumental as well, but it's all about the vocal version... In "Space Madness" Syncom Data works with Mystica Tribe from Japan, who had several records released on their label. His echoing layers of dubby melodica blend perfectly with the La Haye style beats and crashing effects by Syncom Data. Don't be fooled that it's on the b-side, this one's a sneaky winner as well.

Syncom Data's powerful return with the hard jacking Warehousing EP, all drenched in that typical raw Syncom Data techno sewer sound with lots of emphasis on bass. Comes on stylish red-black transparent vinyl. Titletrack Warehousing is a constantly forward thrusting jacktechno track that builds to a warm string climax. A great combination of melancholy introvert feels and deep pounding bass. In Stowage Syncom Data take on a beatless electronic flight into distorted vinyl and synth territory. The whole b-side is for Ekstasis, a 13,5 minutes relentless acidsynth techno bomb for destroying some dancefloors. This live recorded track constantly evolves and builds and builds and builds. Strobo time.

This Time Around is the long awaited follow-up to the succesful Probe album by Roswell Return. The original is a mesmerizing piece of minimal electronic music, heavily inspired by composer Steve Reich. More than 10 minutes of pure synth bliss. On the b-side Syncom Data take it into deep techno territory with a shuffling and ridiculously low-end remix that's both warm and unsettling at the same time. Deep basslines keep pushing everything forward, while the constantly rising church-like organ brings a nervous mayhem quality to it.

Great debut by UK based James Marrs on the consistenly unpredictable Syncom Data Records. Four raw, sample induced industrial house tracks. Perfect dancefloor material. For a basement strobo party in a David Lynch movie, that is. Mental stuff.

Second of two new bass-infected dub EP's with a hint of techno by the Japanese Mystica Tribe. Titletrack ''Stars Are Mine'' and ''His Temple'' immediately set off to deep dub and bass territories in these two typical Mystica Tribe excursions: grooving, but dark with lots of effects and tribal influences. ''Prayer'' evolves around a catchy melodica that won't leave your head for days or maybe even weeks and ''Zen Stone'' tops it off perfectly with this gloomy scifi dubtrip. More

First of two new bassheavy techno-ish dub EP's by Mystica Tribe. Four tracks of excellent electronic dub with heavy techno and acid influences. Although only his second release after his debut in 2011 with ''Meditation Stick'' the Japanese Mystica Tribe already delivers a powerful trademark sound: loose, shuffling beats, layered with heavy basses, tribal percussion and trippy elements, like the dark acid tale on titletrack ''Flowers'' and the classic melodica stabs on ''Fractale'' and ''Moon & Stone''. Tokyo Dub at it's best.

Smashing debut by secretive new collective md0 on SD Records. Sepone Wisdom and Mwahaha are fresh and inspiring cuts of Asian electrowave meeting The Hague acid. Live drums with an irresistible acid line and lush vocals from Asian ladies give both tracks a unique blend of styles. Another killer from SD Records.
