Slam + Rebekah - Believe In The Night
Goodness me do these Slam boys know how to write a banging Techno tune! Their recent Louder Than Chaos series of collaborations has been exemplary so far, with particular highlights from Hector Oaks and Perc. This two-tracker with Rebekah is the third of five releases in the series and Believe In The Night is another highlight, tipping the balance by a baw-hair towards the headphone listener.
Louder Than Chaos Vol. 3 is out on Friday 26th November via Soma Records. Slam will be teaming up with Amelie Lens and AnD for the last two EPs in the series.

bastinov - Origine
Decent EP from the Italian maker comprising five originals and a couple of remixes (from VNTM and Paride Saraceni). Closing track Attitudine Mentale is a memorable, high energy, Breakbeat-tastic affair with a cool vocal sample but my fav is opening statement and title track Origine, with its cold, dark Techno heart, all murky and minimal.
EP is released on Dutch label Infinite Depth on 24th September.
Katharsis by Nigh/T\mare

Ross Harper - eFunk
The British producer continues his run of recent EPs with eFunk, another tour de force of funky, shifting Techno. The title track is the clear winner though with an enjoyably insistent thump to the rhythm.
