Entitled Love by Machine, the album’s name is a nod to the fact that the Burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. Both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. That is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the ‘80s, most often releasing on their own 430 West label, which is where they appear again here.

Say Lenny: “We’ve been exploring the theme of connection with this project. How technology gives us the illusion that we are closer to each other more than ever. At some point humanity crossed a line where the devices that we created to bring us together are the same devices that are blocking us from organic experiences.”

“Technology is only a tool, which we also had in mind during the recording process.” Adds Lawrence. “We decided to go back to how we used to make our records, when we didn’t have so many ‘sophisticated’ audio devices. Back to when we interacted in the studio together as musicians.”

Things open up with the loose metallic percussive line that is In Mono, which sets the machine made tone and is filled with promise. Locator then immediately gets to action with a gallivanting techno kick and various synth lines wrapping round each other as you get sucked into the groove. Just Don’t Speak (Midnight Sun Redub) is a more deep and house leaning track with big feel good piano keys and slithering synths that will get hands in the air. Proving they have real range, 7 B4 Dawn is a moody and reserved cut with subtle acid pricks, hip swinging claps and a spaced out dead of night feel.

The second half of the album offers peak time business in the form of the spectacular Bad Love II, the whirring and cosmic Sounds of Jericho and the big loops and fluid grooves of [Where] Time Collides. Pain Pressure is a wonky number with big bassline and a focus on percussive patterns as well as some vocals with real attitude and last cut 8 B4 Dawn ends things in a downbeat and sombre way with sad chords and emotive strings. It is pure Detroit, much like the whole album, and rounds out another fine release from these most revered veterans.

Buckle up ladies and gents because we’ve got what is fast becoming one of favourite mixes we’ve listened to this year! Wiccatron‘s ‘Big Fat Mama Beats & Bootlegs’ mix is one of epic proportions as he delivers an hours worth of hedonistic Big Beat, Breakbeat, Tech Funk and Acid House with classic tunes dropped from the likes of The Prodigy, Lo Fidelity Allstars, The Chemical Brothers and Fluke to name just a few. The weekend may well start a little earlier than planned once you get fully involved with the might of the music on offer.

After only recently discovering Greek producer, DJ Snatch, we’re pretty damn sure he’s gonna become a regular on the ward, especially if he keeps on rolling out mind blowing tunes like this! This rework of Don Adams‘ ‘Rest My Soul’ has a truly authentic Soul/R&B vibe which as we’ve found out from checking out his back catalogue, is a sound he very much loves to harness and then use to great effect. This tune will soon have you smiling as it fills your soul full of positivity. Superb!

As well as producing his own stunning sounds, Manchester’s, Kleen Kutz, is also very well skilled at putting together jaw dropping remixes, re-rubs and edits. Jaydee‘s ‘Plastic Dreams’ is the latest classic to have been given the Kleen Kutz treatment and as you will hear, the results are absolutely immense. Feisty Tech House with bags of purpose and a breakdown to get those trusty goosebumps rising. Oh yes, we love this!

Another one of Breakbeats MVP’s we like to keep track of is, Hyper. He’s been responsible for some the very biggest and most heavy hitting Breaks tunes over the years and we always get majorly excited when we see new music pop up from him. So as you might imagine, we’re as happy as a kid with a free pass to a sweet shop to bring you this new remix of ‘This Is A War’ by, Losers. So much angst and built up rage in a tune that delivers the kind of broken beats we love, hard, filthy and with a twist of euphoria for good measure. I may have said this once or twice before, but this really is Breakbeat at it’s very best and if you’re a fan of the genre, you’re really gonna love this!
