Danalogue - Far Beyond the Sun
“Far Beyond The Sun” sees Danalogue step into a more introspective, textural space, trading the high velocity energy of his work with Soccer96 and The Comet Is Coming for something slower and more transportive. The record feels like a burnt cassette unearthed from another era, hazy and nostalgic, steeped in analogue character and recalling the lush, downtempo sensibilities of Little Dragon around their Ritual Union / Nabuma Rubberband period.
Rich Roland Juno pads and chunky drum machine rhythms form the backbone, while heavy vibrato and delay blur the edges into a glowing, chorus soaked warmth.
There is a sense of psychedelia refracted through a nostalgic lens, as if time itself has slowed, allowing each synth tone and shift in timbre to linger. It is a mature and immersive statement that swaps sharp 808 chops and acid basslines for sun drenched SH-1 licks, and dreamlike vistas of colour and depth.
A great single that hints at something deeper, I’m already looking forward to hearing the full album when Teleportations lands on 29 May 2026.
JakoJako - Hoa đào (Colin Benders Remix)
On Tết 41 Remixes, JakoJako invites a range of collaborators to reinterpret her original material, with the release acting as a celebration of her Tết 41 record, which is well worth diving into in its own right. Among the highlights is Colin Benders’ remix of “Hoa đào”, a striking reimagining that leans fully into his signature modular sensibilities.
It opens with moody, cascading arpeggios and evocative, almost flute-like tones, all drenched in reverb, creating a sense of vast, cinematic space. There is something distinctly dystopian about it, like the soundtrack to a cyberpunk film, where Terry Riley-esque minimalism collides with the stark intensity of the Berlin electronic sound.
As the track unfolds, Benders’ take on techno becomes unmistakable, evolving from beatless, hypnotic sequences into a surge of punishing gabber kicks. It is a bold and transformative remix that reshapes the original into something darker, heavier and wholly immersive.
Peryl - A02_01
Peryl’s “A02_01” is a striking piece of forward-thinking techno, built on a bouncy, hypnotic bassline that gives the track a slow, head-nodding, almost skippy momentum. Sitting around 134 bpm, it plays with triplet swings that subtly shift the groove, keeping things fluid and unpredictable. The sound design is exceptional, with layers of textural noise and distortion widening the stereo field into something deeply immersive. A phasey reese bass rumbles beneath it all, giving the impression the track was recorded in a vast hangar, while a clever interplay of sample rates introduces both analogue warmth and brittle digital degradation. There is a real psychoacoustic intensity to the mix and mastering, as if the sound itself is pressing in on you. Midway through, high frequency drones cut through with an almost surgical precision, evoking something unsettling, like electricity coursing through your brainwaves.
We caught Peryl unexpectedly at Stone Techno 2025, not knowing who he was at the time, and were completely blown away. His command of live hardware was so compelling that myself and NikNak ended up standing right behind him, locked in for the entire set. It is that same sense of control and experimentation that runs through PRL_A02, marking it out as a uniquely immersive and forward-facing techno release.
Kerrie - System Awakens
Kerrie’s “System Awakens” is a driving, no-nonsense cut of jacking techno, rooted in classic sensibilities but executed with razor-sharp precision. The bassline leans into that classic flat second, giving it that unmistakable old-school tension, while big, industrial snares crack through the mix with authority. Above it, hi-hats churn like pistons made of white noise, pushing the track forward with relentless energy. There is a clear lineage here, echoing the raw, functional sound associated with Tresor, the kind of track you can easily imagine reverberating through their vault at 3am. Despite its grit, the production is super clean, every element sitting exactly where it should, allowing the groove to hit with full force.
It is a seriously danceable, heads-down moment, and one that feels purpose-built for a proper soundsystem. We would absolutely love to host Kerrie at a future Computer Club night. If you’re reading this, Kerrie, please get yourself on the M62 and come and visit us in Leeds sometime.
