DARK MACHINE FUNK

Hot-to-trot, bunker busting techno here from two major players on the modern landscape - Kerrie and Dynamic Forces. Released on Kerrie's Dark Machine Funk, it sees each artist remix the other's track, resulting in four tracks of main room heat.

"Moralism" sees Dynamic Forces attempt to contain a pressure cooker of technoid elements. it really feels like this one's about to blow! Perfect for transition into other more anthemic and melodic numbers, or just drawing out the tension deeeep into the mid session. Kerrie deconstructs the momentum, opting for a broken, concentric groove to guide proceedings.

"Good Intentions" is the kind of corrosive, jugular hitting dose of acidic techno we've come to expect from Kerrie. Serpentine propulsion seems to be one of her trademarks, as elements weave in and out of focus held together by a pounding kick. Dynamic Forces shove a rocket up the track's arse, blasting it into the outer cosmos with Millsian bleeps and aggressive 909 action. Top stuff from everyone involved. Recommended! 




STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: More essential stadium-ticklers from Kerrie and her Dark Machine Funk label. From her humble beginnings at Eastern Bloc, Kerrie is now a globally recognized face on the techno scene - and rightly so! These tracks reek of that OG spirit.

Kerrie from E Bloc's Dark Machine Funk goes from strength to strength with her first guest producer featuring on the label's fifth release. Head Front Panel, Kerrie confesses, has been a massive source of inspiration both for her own productions and the direction of the label; so she musta been well buzzing when they agreed to this feature!

"Panama" starts us off with concentric brick wall drums and a tribal whoop carrying Detroitian strings and swelling synth passages. Instantly traversing the Atlantic with a track that's equal parts us and Motor City. "Tactile" continues this allegiance with wigged out, nagging leads ricocheting off clattering metallic beats that somehow tips its hat to both Jeff Mills and Luke Slater simultaneously.

"Surdo" goes for a mainroom throb, fluttering hats and thrusting low end reminding us of DJ Rush in peak flow. Finally "Them", the most Millsian offering here, utilizes pitched 909s, a circular acid line and expert saturation to create a track that'll twist craniums and summon interplanetary communication between us and any passing UFOs.

Top stuff. Real techno! 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Serious UK-Detroit hybridization here with one of my favourite releases on Kerrie's DMF label. Strictly for the headstrong, fierce, uncompromising techno that beats its chest gleefully.
