Although Caged may be the title of this 12”, the sounds are anything but. Karlsson has harnessed the rawness of Celldöd and allowed himself to explore something different through more mellow and rounded tones with just a touch of sting in the percussive tail.

Humanoid :: 7 Songs (De:tuned)
Amongst these is a taster of experimentation, yet the main course is one of bold and brilliant techno from a pioneer; seven tracks that build on from the past and will make many nightclubs shake, hopefully, in the near future.
WE FORFEIT (Mix 30) :: Radio Relativa #15 febrero – ¡El ACid!
Chris gives us a full hour of acid assortments and sour selections that will leave teeth rattling and neighbors twitching curtains.
V/A :: Collectio Vol. 6 (X-Rust)
Collectio Vol. 6 is emblematic of this organization’s focus, quality electronic music that explores the floor as well as more cerebral frontiers.
Vertical67 :: Through The Fog (Pulse Drift)
Through the Fog is an apt title for this 12”. From the acid mists of the opener, Vertical67 leads the listener across six tracks with a sturdy beat acting as a guardrail. As you come out the other end, the mellow warmth of “Tykat” bids farewell to an EP that is as club ready as it is reflective.
Steven Rutter :: Close Your Eyes And Breathe (De:tuned)
Succinct detail is at the heart of this three-tracker. Wide sonic expanses are the workshop where sounds are painstakingly selected before being moulded and shaped, each being transformed with a musical craftsman’s attention and care.
Roger Van Lunteren :: Saskian End Courts (Masa Series)
The raw molten emotion of the TB303, the detailed machine rhythms, the warming currents of synth; all come together in this very special release.
WE FORFEIT (Mix 30) :: Radio Relativa #14 enero
Influences and inspirations is the focus with vinyl favorites from far and wide brought together to down a glass of Cava and belt out a few choice numbers.
Utopia Cloak | The Jaffa Kid :: The Imaginary Museum 001 (The Imaginary Museum)
This record skirts the boundaries of ambient techno, each musician inheriting from past greats while adding their own unique quality and style. Simply put, a record to be enjoyed for many many years.
