When New York's Adultnapper and London's legendary Mr.C team up they become the Sycophant Slags. Their moniker may raise a chuckle but their tunes are serious stuff – and “Keep Off”, their first release on Steve Bug’s Poker Flat imprint, may be their best work to date. The Wighnomy Brothers’ remix is dark and brooding yet inherently groovy. Nice stuff.

Gui Boratto falls under the ambiguous and anachronistic banner of “world music”, but that doesn’t begin to tell the story - the Brazlian producer’s inimitable style of techno is a treat for the ears. His latest track “Telecaster”, taken from the Azzurra EP on Kompakt, is wonderfully deep and melodic. Highly recommended.

David Lützenkirchen may be the man with the most pseudonyms, aliases and other assorted titles as anyone in the techno game (they include Sounddiver, T. Luxor, Toby Lee Connor, Ultrakomm and Witchboard Project, to name but five). His latest track “Body Nation”, under the Lützenkirchen alias, is akin to something you’d hear Jeff Mills drop at Tresor circa ‘95. In other words, it’s serious, unrelenting techno.

Kiko & Ginos – aka French production team Christophe Dallaca and Stephane Deschezeaux - present “Beautiful People”, a loud, boisterous slice of tech house. Released on Gregor Tresher’s impressive Break New Soil label, it’s fair to say this will go down pretty well wherever it's played.
