PICS: MARK BROOM
August 4th, Format Recordings & Oktave Records welcomed to Chicago for his very first Underground appearance, MARK BROOM! This was an amazing night of Techno surrounded by a thick underground vibe set within the heart of downtown Chicago. All supporting acts brought their A-games. From Brendas opening chugging set, followed by Jeff Derringer and Mia Wallace closing it out. It all came together quite nicely and yes, once again....we thank you Chicago!
RELEASE: FR026 "VOLTAGE SHIFT"
FR026: Juan Trujillo "Voltage Shift EP" - The title track launches things off right from the start with some deep grinding basslines haunted by tight hi-hats, before wicked synths take over for the final exit. This release is packed with menacing stabs and metallic melodic synths throughout, creating an underground warehouse vibe within each of the 5 original and remixed tracks. Never-ending mechanized chords and stomping drums provide the momentum for some serious heads-down action. - Release Date: 08/11/18
