about

Riding high at number one presently in Dave Clarke's chart with his remix of Wilko's "Work Ya Body" and garnishing wide support for his recent outings this next release couldn't have come at a better time for Darren Rice. The follow up to his previous "M9" release is "Akira", a three track ep featuring remixes from Tom Hades and Anodyne.

The Original, as with the whole ep, gives more than a nod to the real, how it was and how it should be techno. It twists and turns it's way morphing to climax with clever, modulated and machine-like melody changes. Lead along by an ominous, evolving and somewhat other-worldly synth line we'd liken to a Wookiee being castrated. It's angry and it means business. Chewie beware
.
Tom Hades' cleverly reinterprets Darren's original making extensive use of the palette provided. He delivers as only he can, a track which; from the offset develops with off-shooting stabs, intricately timed delay hits and dollops of Hades' signature groove sauce splattered generously over the mix like a cheerleader come Monday morning at Charlie Sheens.

Rounding off the package we are delighted to have on board Anodyne who delivers a stunning 90's hardcore, rave-infused remix. Through nostalgia-inducing vocal and synth stabs coupled with sequenced melody programming Anodyne illustrates why he is favoured by many including The Black Dog and Autechre whom recently remixed singles from his "Corrosion" Album which dropped last year on Psychonavigation Records.

Bangin Innit.
