The Acrobat
Sascha Funke [Bpitch Control]
A new Sascha Funke![[a]](http://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif)
EP is always a highlight of Bpitch’s release schedule, with his sharp, playful sound proving time and time again that Euro-minimal techno can have plenty of character when done properly.
His more recent releases have seen him lean towards a harder, more stripped sound than ever before, and with a new album promised soon, Funke fans will be wondering what direction he’s decided to go in.

Very Wrong
Gel Abril [Be As One]
Is Tel Aviv the new Berlin?
It might be heading that way if tracks like this keep emerging.
Flight of The Albatross
Fairmont [Border Community]
Toronto native Jake Fairley was churning out excellent rock-tinged minimal techno on labels like Sender for years, before he finally broke with ‘Gazebo/Gazelle’ on James Holden’s Border Community![[l]](http://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif)
stronghold.
A searing, melodic beast of a track, it helped re-introduce thousands of bleak techno-heads to the joys of tranced-out melodies.
Agujas
Maxime Dangles [Kompakt]
When Kompakt boss Wolfgang Voigt singles one artist out of the many on his labels for special attention, as he did with France’s Maxime Dangles in a recent interview, you know it’s probably worth investigating.
‘Agujas’ clearly explains his attraction.

Gez Varley 3
G-Man aka Gez Varley [GMR Records]
It was over a decade ago that legendary Warp bleep pioneers LFO went their separate ways, with Mark Bell continuing the moniker while Gez Varley retreated to Germany to immerse himself in his G-Man alias.
A string of legendary minimal dub-techno records followed, taking a clear inspiration from Basic Channel’s pioneering fusion of Jamaica’s reverbs and Detroit’s machines while injecting a distinct element of forceful clarity to the Berliners’ murky, abyssal grooves.

Summer Ceremony EP
Paul Ritch [Resopal Schallware]
If you’re an old school, studio shy DJ, feel very afraid.
French breakthrough producer, Paul Ritch, is part of the next wave of young, hungry and gifted techno producers about to put you out of business.

These Eyes / Strictly Erotics
Danton Eeprom [Fondation Records]
Danton Eeprom, aka French producer Julian Brambiller, first came to the attention of many when he was included on Ewan Pearson’s excellent Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi mix for Soma, and since then has carved out his own uniquely beguiling strain of angular, quirky techno that references everything from Dopplereffekt to Kompakt, Adonis and Depeche Mode.
Ribcage
Dubfire [Desolat]
The writing seems on the wall for Deep Dish thanks to Ribcage.
If you’re a fan of the old school Yoshitoshi sound (the label the pair became famous for running in the 1990s), you’ll breathe a sigh of relief when you hear the next brace of tracks to come from Dubfire.

Dictum / Factum
Nooncat [Trenton]
Russia’s Nooncat was knocking out his cool, edgily synthetic club techno on labels like Trapez and Triebstoff some six years ago, and after a slow period, seems to be back on it with a recent series of killer releases on a handful of underground labels.
‘Dictum’ is a good example of his knack for combining accessible grooves with subtly fierce undertones, with a searing, cascading synth line injecting some serious power into a taut, pokey groove.

Trouble
Tom Pooks [Ovum Recordings]
It’s all about the Wink Re Do on Ovum’s latest killer release.
Like every great artist, Josh has the ability to disappear for months on end and then pop up with a brace of releases that remind everyone whose boss.

Daydream
Vita [Kindisch]
It’s easy to get lost in the current sea of sound alike minimal techno records currently clogging the record stores.
Kindisch, Get Physical’s sub label and pet project of DJ T bucks that trend with greater zeal with every release.

Eye Contact
Gaiser [Minus]
For most people, running a label isn’t an exact science.
Artists appear then disappear year to year from the roster, the music jumps and weaves, peaks and troughs or stays static and over time, becomes stale.
Not so Minus.

Therapy
Peter Grummich [District of Corrupt...
Now here’s a surprise: years before minimal became an easy way for cheesy progressive house DJs to reinvent themselves as credible techno spinners, Peter Grummich was releasing rough, raw and fractured missives for labels like Shitkatapult and Sender.
Grummich’s 2005 album, ‘Switch off the Soap Opera’, is a master class in the grimier, more visceral end of minimal techno – a work that chased Basic Channel’s scuffled dub sound across a cider-fuelled warehouse party before pummelling it into submission.
