bangin prime time techno

blank code detroit summer banger-drumcell and luis flores team up for a rough edged bass journey of complete techno.

german meets the detroit code.

circle 3 is the 9th vinyl release on blank code records and is the 3rd release in the circle series produced by detroit native mutate (len bartush), with remixes by luis flores, mike parker, and project 313. circle 3 exemplifies the spirit of detroit techno.

in the eighth release from detroit ­based underground techno record label blank code, audio injection provides three well­crafted tracks in the style he has become widely known for. with this ep, audio injection cements himself as a cornerstone of blank code after previously offering up a remix on bcr001 mutate circle 1 & his original version of null on bcr005.

blank code start 2014 off strong with their latest ep rituals of submission, produced by luis flores, with remixes by black asteroid and dj hyperactive

bodies in pawn is a compilation constructed from a foundational sample set created by detroit producer len bartush aka mutate. featuring original versions crafted by mutate himself, as well as by project 313, audio injection and luis flores, bodies in pawn represents another critically functional techno release sure to find its way into the record crates of djs from la to berlin.

detroit veteran len bartush (mutate) returns to advance the series that began with the now classic circle 1. a full round kick and jack style upbeats are all that is necessary to support the deep, modulated synth lines that travel through lush plates of reverb. alberto pascual hits a homerun with his remix that will move any club, festival, or warehouse party. project 313s remix supplies moving synth lines are stripped down and replaced with driving rhythms and pulsating bass making this a superb techno offering. the plankton remix turns up the tension with warehouse style percussion and intertwining rhythms complimented by science- fictionesque stabs and pounding bass. the >circle 2< ep is an essential piece of detroit minimalism.

blank code presents bcr002 - beta ep from the plant worker (also known as a. trebor), released on 12 inch vinyl with custom made silk screened jackets and available with an additional track found exclusively on the digital release. beta 01 represents merciless techno, with a pounding kick and unexpected drops that leave the listener gasping for breath. the luis flores remix introduces a subtle swing, making it more danceable than the original while still retaining the ominous tones imbued in the track by the plant worker. beta 02 stumbles in with anxious acid synths and urgent hi-hat patterns, slowly building to a massive climax. mysterious chimes wandering around the sonic space give a haunting feel to beta 03, the eery conclusion of the vinyl version of the release. the eps digital exclusive, beta 04, returns the listener to the original themes of beta 01 – open, reverberating bass accented by the sounds of echoing metallic decay.

blank code records launches with its first release circle 1 by label artist mutate. circle 1 is the first in a series of releases by mutate and features remixes by drumcell, audio injection, and bas mooy. detroit has always had a definitive voice in the future sound of techno, and this debut release from blank code is a prime example of both the latest from detroit, and its international allegiances exemplified by three brilliant remixes from some of technos most accomplished modern artists.
