February: 19 techno releases you need to hear this month
FJAAK, Guy Gerber, Stephan Hinz and more
Kaiser 'Anesthesia' (Animal Farm)
The filtered intro and intense opening minutes of Kaiser’s latest release make it clear that it’s going to bring a reign of terror to any club it’s played in. The persistent throb of the low-end is guaranteed to make your eye sockets vibrate and rattle that ribcage (at least, as long as it’s played on the right system). Combined with the urgency of the sparkling effects at the top-end, it’s a recipe for high energy raving fraught with tension – which, for us, is a definite win.
