[SOP 036-1317] Corner – Technical Religion

Corner keeps the releases coming steadily now: After the hard-hitting Dark. Descent. release for the 2017 summer, he now ventures into the industrial section of the techno area.
With an adventurous kick-off, โ€œNeural Preacherโ€ and โ€œFaith Mechanismโ€ are a headstrong affair with mind-boggling irregular beat patterns and eerie sound design, before โ€œMath of Truthโ€ brings in straighter patterns and dense atmospheres โ€“ and โ€œDNA Godโ€ calls for the big, club-conquering finale. If you appreciate your tunes to go deeper than just 4/4, this is for you!

[SOP 035-1417] Hidden Rooms – Pattern

There should be a Hidden Room in every house โ€“ and definitely every techno-minded household should have a copy of this fine collection: Eleven tracks culled from the five Hidden Rooms EPs that have appeared on Spirit of Progress and ZUUR between 2013 and 2017 โ€“ plus eight digital-only bonus cuts.
Re-encounter the streak of HR techno bangers that come in flawless sound quality with an analogue feel: Firm beats, melodic hooks, washes of acid sounds โ€“ you know the drill. โ€œPatternโ€ as a whole is as topical as you could think it up for 2017, with a perfect balance of underground grit and slick groove perfectly in sync with the techno Zeitgeist: A fine anthology of the Hidden Rooms project, which is more than just a sidekick to Maurice Pinksterโ€™s The Relic and Cubic Nomad aliases, but proven as much a serious concern as those.
While the scarce CD is an attractive collectorโ€™s item in slick minimal design, the digital version contains remixes for the likes of Carnage & Cluster, Energetic-X and Bombardier, collaborations with Toysfornoise and The Peoples Republic of Europe a.o., so letโ€™s talk about value for money!
