Press Release:
After the massive "Reklusives Volume 1" compilation (to celebrate Rekluse's first birthday) kicked up a fuss like a big crazy storm, Rekluse heads back to their very first release to continue the celebrations...

At the end of 2008, Umek 's huge "2nd To None" helped launch Rekluse in style, hitting the number 1 spot of the Beatport Techno charts and refusing to budge, with the track still lurking about in the top 100 over 6 months later. With an extensive list of A-list support, at the top would have to be Layo & Bushwacka who dropped the track during their set at the last ever party at The End.

Spektre have also just released their much acclaimed debut artist album and their remix is an ode to their impressive Respekt label. Relentless and fast paced, it's non stop adrenaline pumping all the way, chunky percussion flies in and out whilst the distinctive original siren appears at exactly the right moments to cause maximum impact.

Misstress Barbara has released and toured a full artist album in the time since 2nd To None 1st appeared over a year ago. Here she returns to the dancefloor, delivering a slamming rework with an insane break that comes complete with a guarantee that damage will indeed be done.

With impressive remixes of Fergie, Christian Smith & Reset Robot, Erphun and now Umek under his belt, co-label owner Henry Von is quickly making a name for himself as a highly rated remixer, as shown here with his hefty groove-filled take on the original. It builds up and up, twisting and turning before unleashing the fury with a fully packed knock-out punch.

Completing the package we have Matt Cooper, who we couldn't wait to have back after his Northern Light EP on Rekluse last year and his collaboration with Spektre on "Cuernos Cubanos". He turns in a heavy storm of a remix, with a low-slung bassline that grunts and grinds along whist elements from the original effortlessly weave in and out of the action to create a hyperactive yet heads-down state of mine.

SPEKTRE
Casting Shadows Without Light
(RESPEKT)
"This is the debut album for U.K based Techno duo Spektre a.k.a Filthy Rich and Paul Maddox. Spektre have so far picked up support from d.j's like: Sven Vath, Ritchie Hawtin and Laurent Garnier among many others and have recently remixed the likes of: Fever ray, Lion Rock and Future Sound Of London. As d.j's they have also become very much in demand as Spektre Live and this album goes to show why, with it's cutting edge electronica and Techno vibe. The killer tracks for me are the opening track called 'Cloud Bending' a slightly more down-tempo slice of electronica that is deeply atmospheric and intense and the kind of track that all the right d.j's will be supporting! The next recommendation is a track called 'Descent' this is again a haunting and very atmospheric track that's on a slightly more housey vibe with cut up vocals that work to great effect. This then takes me onto more peak time tracks like 'Seq and Destroy' and 'Distant Fever' which illustrates that this has a versatile sound that will appeal to Techno and Electronica fans
8/10
