Various – 22247009

22Recordings kicks on with another useful various artists outing that brings plenty of storytelling techno. Vinz’s ‘Jungla De Asfatto’ opens with turbocharged low ends and jacke dup drums with a 90s triable twist. Otrera dominates with oversized drums and whirring machinery on ‘Coats & Boats.’ Anah taps into some stark EBM-style snap and strobe-lit mechanical techno funk on ‘Vocoder.’ Xarbi’s ‘Still In It’ shuts down with some off-balance techno wonky, crashing hits and the sort of machining energy that energises crowds to go hard through the night, all with a curious and playful synth lead to get things popping.
