Read MoreSimon Shreeve (Monic) finds his stride in techno with the 50th release from Osiris Music UK, reminiscent of transformations seen in labels like Tectonic. Ian Martin’s “Sleepwalker” offers a Carpenteresque soundscape, while VSK delivers essential Italian techno on Tommy Four Seven’s label. Death Qualia’s intricate sound design stands out, as does Boylan’s “Ghosts In The Machine” for its energy. Zuli and Mike Parker keep their respective sounds fresh and unique in experimental and industrial techno.

Read More“Angry White People” by Hsiao-Hung Pai offers an in-depth look at the English Defence League (EDL), challenging the non-racist image they cultivate.
