Zurich's finest exporter of Techno - Adroit Recordings continue to keep the pressure up with the next instalment of their VA series 'Archive'. This is the 3rd chapter - an addition that will tear through sound systems as savagely as it's predecessors as an assemblage of artists from all over Europe come together. First up is A R T S and Hypercolour affiliate Roberto Clementi who kicks the project off to a rugged start. His track 'Agonia On Path' drives a stony, burnt-out kick hurtles through congas and a rhythmic whine. Frazzled hats and darting delayed signals fly overhead as the track bleeds in and out of focus in a manner that will continually wake up the dance floor. Next up is Italian duo Asymptote with their quick and effective offering 'The Dawn' which unfolds like a live jam. Percussion steadily leaks in and thickens as volumes, filters and FX are manually handled in a manner akin to early Skudge. Fellow Italians Exilles then follow up with the rich and mysterious 'Nextar'. A mesmerising synth melody flickers in amongst bit crushed strings and reverberated claps as a heaving kick is deftly bought in and out of the mix. Next is the Berlin based, Dutch producer Esther Dune. She follows up a string of releases dating back as far as 2009 with the manic and electrifying 'T-Minus'. Eye-widening, razor sharp riffs are set rebounding off each other while a straight 4/4 bangs against the walls demonstrating the unassailable skills of a consummate professional. Next up is Aurora with the intricate and progressive 'Snake Pit' which unfurls in chapters consisting of mangled digital frequencies, iron-clad percussive elements and horror-movie synth lines. Newcomer Unconformist follows up and doesn't hang about with his 'Enter The Void'; a fast and exhilarating cruise into orbit which is propelled by whetted drums and rich melodies. Zurich bases Dicanio then weighs in with 'Samba Distortion' which offers up bright and expressive drums and a rubbery kick that are set galloping with rushing urgency under a dystopian vocal sample before Kyiv based Incorrect Waves offers up 'Scissors 1991'. Here - rough, fizzing drums career through alarming stabs and an elasticated synth FX which nestle it into the comp nicely and bring it to a suitably raucous close.
