Re.you - Speicher 86 Out now

We continue our much-acclaimed Speicher brand with yet another set of bangers ready to fiercely usurp hearts and minds - Berlin-based producer and Keinemusik/Rampa collaborator Re.you signs responsible for the latest instalment in the series, a worthy addition to its heritage of forward-looking, club-ready techno. Two precisely engineered cuts adorn the new Speicher 12", with the hypnotic "Fantasy" taking the lead on the a-side - grinding its synth teeth and brimming with foreboding atmosphere, this one's a particularly enigmatic stomper that pairs its compositional relentlessness with a small, but hand-picked pallet of sounds, tailored to perfection for an adventurous crowd. The flipside brings you the uncanny "Robot" starting out as a somewhat relaxed groover embedded in what sounds like a animatronic zoo - but soon building up an seizable amount of nail-biting tension, thanks to a single rising drone that is joined by mysterious voice snippets and a stoic baseline. It's another example for Re.you's impressive skill set when it comes to hard-hitting techno hidden in plain sight.
