Lisbon label VXSM returns with the Insurgence EP, a focussed collection of driving techno from four different artists. VOX99 leads with ‘Satlab’, a fast and edgy floor-filler with interlocking bass and lead lines caught in a constant flux.
Vince follows with the dynamic ‘Roll’, full of detuned loops and snare rushes for dancers to get lost in. ‘Blurr’ from Berlin-based Elias. Provides a darker and dubbier moment of inward contemplation before local legend VIL bursts outwards again with the tense and taut ‘Clue’, combining the perfect amount of pressure and release into a relentlessly building whole.
