Merciless techno.


Bauhaus - Untitled (Version 1) (buy)


Released under the common shroud of mystery last year, this was described simply as a Techno Masterpiece for those who know. Absolutely brutal. The tracks have since returned digitally, accredited to Chris Liebing and Tommy Four Seven. Still absolutely brutal.



Joseph Capriati - Passworld (buy)


Another unforgiving, heavy hitting techno track I enjoyed last year was this by Joseph Capriati, incidentally released on Liebing's CLR label.




A new name, but it's safe to say they'll still be ahead of the game. Happy Please is the new outlet for the wonderful blog that was Curb Crawlers. Happy Please has kept with CC's excellent series of mixtapes and kicks things off on the new site with an inspired selection from Jokers Of The Scene.
