The duo return after a lengthy hiatus, with Anderson now based in Berlin, and Pattison still on West Country soil, and deliver a two track single to Kneaded Pains that’s definitely been worth the wait.

Having racked up an impressive catalogue of releases and remixes for labels such as Made To Play, Southern Fried, Klang Electronik, Exploted and Sisyphon, the partnership dish out two certified bangers for Dense & Pika’s label.

‘Wuuf’ plays it dirty, as raw, pummelling drums and rasping acid licks are sweetened by the addition of a classy vocal hook and a gargantuan breakdown that properly shakes the room. Accompanying track ‘Zum Mond’ goes deeper as organ stabs and driving beats are elevated with whooping vocal stabs for a great old school techno chugger.

We are presenting the title track ‘Wuuf’.

‘Wuuf’ EP will be available after the 24th of February HERE.

On his first release for the Kneaded Pains label, these dub-wise leanings can be found across three tracks on the ‘Head Down’ EP.

The Berlin based artist has previously released on Scuba’s Hotflush Recordings, Rhythm Nation Records and Off Recordings, and deftly constructs a trio of deep and hypnotic techno tracks for Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains imprint that ooze sophistication and class.

Three new original productions, ‘Monoi’, ‘Aries’ and ‘Hydrolyzed’, from Akoriz are cued up on the ‘Apropos’ EP, each one laced with intensity and raw techno chops. Heavy kick drums and crispy percussion give way to rave tropes and minimal tones across this triplet of pure fire bangers.

Having released a slew of sophisticated tracks and remixes for esteemed labels such as Lobster Theremin, World Of Nima, System Records, as well as running his own Outerworld imprint, Boxia is fast becoming a tour de force within the underground techno community.

Shadowy and sub-aquatic vibes are captured on ‘Tama’, as Boxia goes deep into Detroit territory and pulls out a functional and classic sounding track. Title track ‘Sounds Of the Subway’ goes on a hypnotising journey as brain scrambling tones are coerced out of a prime slice of shuffling and energetic techno.

Danny Ward AKA Dubble D turns in two refreshingly differing remixes.
