I will be playing out some brand spanking new tracks for the first time as well as disconnected, pattern 4 etc
When I hear moody techno, I immediately think of D, head in a bassbin at a sweaty club. It was always a bit – I didn’t come here to ejoy myself. I came to get fucked and dance. And this is one of those releases. But it’s also one of those where the remixes are better than the slightly straight original. The See The Road mix gives the tech house original a bit more beef in a dark, club mode. The Abstract Source goes in the opposite direction, turning it into a glittery house number. A real winner. The Area Reshape mix goes back in the dark corner for a techno dub mix. Highly recommended package.

You can now pre-order Disconnected from the Uncharted Audio shop
First up is the original mix of Disconnected, a heavy mid-tempo dub techno track with basic, early house bass, classic 80s synth fx and a great afterhours-vibe. The See The Road mix is a bit techier, wtih offbeat kicks and wobbly prog bass delivering a very decent dub techno groove. Abstract Source’s is a straight up tech house cut fueled by loads of shakers, warm melodies and a disco-y touch near the middle. Closing the track is Area’s bumpy, Detroit-style rework in which the warm vibe from the original is especially well preserved.
Our verdict:
A great dub techno EP to get familiar with the genre. The original is pretty good, but the remixes are better.

Cyan341 is East London producer Mark Streatfield… following critical acclaim for his previous releases on Uncharted Audio (one of which was licensed by Renaissance for James Zabiela’s ‘Masters Series’ mix), Smallfish, Kreislauf and his own Rednetic imprint, and ahead of his debut album (also forthcoming on UA), this new 12” showcases ‘Disconnected’, a track exclusive to this release, alongside a range of remixes from some of the hottest underground talent that techno has to offer. Already counting such luminaries as Move D and Benjamin Brunn among his fans, his new material is set to gain him a lot more.
Alongside the glitchy dub-tech of the original, side A sees Nottingham’s See The Road turn in a dark warehouse thumper which has already turned heads after label boss Kone-R included it in his mix for Fabric’s website ahead of his appearance there earlier this year. Support from the likes of Red Rack’em, Claude Young, 2562 and Tom Ravenscroft for See The Road’s ‘Pondora EP’ stands See The Road in good stead – expect big things to come.
On the flip, another up-and-coming London producer, Jules Dickens aka Abstract Source, turns up the house pressure with a nigglingly catchy bassline and uplifting chords. This one is guaranteed to fill the floor in any club, striking just the right balance whilst taking the original track in a slightly different direction.
Rounding off the EP on a wonkier tip is Chicago’s man-of-the-moment Area, whose discography continues to grow constantly. Appearances on Francois Kevorkian’s Wave Music, Brendan Moeller’s Steadfast and Anton Zap’s Ethereal Sound prove that this is a serious talent to watch out for. A uniquely swinging dub techno take on the original!
Some great Disconnected artwork has been added to the Pictures section, thanks to Emma at Stem Design
I loaded the samples I created for the remixes of Disconnected into Ableton and decided to have a go at remixing the track myself, I added in a few extra sounds then did a live take, this is the result.
