"DJ Hi-Shock, that master-blaster behind the whole Elektrax phenomenon, takes time out from label CEO duties to return with an explosive track - ‘Melancholia’ is a devastatingly deep, heavy, dark warehouse experience that storms the senses on so many levels; it’s immaculately conceived techno that would destroy any grinding dancefloor at peak time. The second track is a remix from Dave Tarrida (Tresor), who goes all wistful and cheeky, in a bouncier, lighter deconstruction of Hi-Shock’s original. At times it pauses to wind down the sizzling, frenetic funkiness, then reboots in that Sativae style Tarrida is famous for. Japan’s almighty DJ Warp gets all the more funky-tech, in a butt-shaking Detroit style jam Jeff Mills might be pleased to call his own, and drifting in tone towards Takkyu Ishino’s superlative ‘Berlin Trax’ efforts from 1998."
