UK techno stalwart Steve Bicknells Lost Recordings series must be one of the longest running in dance music, the Lost and Cosmic founder has been putting out previous unheard material from his early 90s heyday on and off since 2004. There are few surprises on this 10th edition, but plenty of slamming, no-holds-barred grooves. The hissing, spacey, cymbal-heavy Track 3 is particularly trippy, while theres a gnarled, ragged intensity about the pulsating heaviness of Track 1. Arguably best of all, though - ambient interlude Track 2 aside - is Track 4, an eerie techno shuffler built around a wonky, off-key electric piano loop and fizzing percussion.
