Planet Mu 128 review by Warpmart
First record of the year from Planet-Mu who are definitley onto something with this release. Two tracks that manage to do what seems like the impossible, make hard techno sound boundary pushing avant guarde and best of all lush and emotional.
Dolphin's orchestral led 'Soul Cannibal' manages to combine a techno sensibility with depth, whilst The Teknoists Closing Down does a similar thing with piano keys, stemming the harshness of the drum track with panicked sorrow.
Planet Mu 128 review by Boomkat:
Brand new slice of vinyl from the Planet Mu oven, this split 12" features Dolphin and The Teknoist in a healthy face-off to see who can melt your needle first. Considering this is their debut for the label, neither Greg Dolphin or Mike Teknoist seem to be suffering from first night nerves - with both delivering the kind of piping hot gabba/glitch epics that would have Beowulf running to the hills. Topping their spasticated beats with piano and strings respectively, Dolphin and Teknoist prove they understand the need for a bit of light amongst the dank digital underpass they choose to inhabit. Ouch!
Planet Mu 128 review by Failme.net:
ll assume that a lot of you don't listen to gabba. Understandable reasons: suspect DJ fodder, all sounds the same, slightly out-of-reach BPM's, the drugs need to be fucking good to enjoy it. But there are exceptions, like UK Hardcore heroes DJ Dolphin and The Teknoist. Teaming up for two blazing slices of ultra-spacious, well-crafted 70mm hyperspeed techno. Purchase anything by these guys or anything on the Deathchant label and you'll find hardcore that doesn't do dumb
Ninja Columbo 1 review by Boomkat:
Gabber badboys teknoist and dolphin shit out a doublepack of scathing hardcore electronics for homegrown imprint ninja columbo. Fresh from a release on Hellfish's Deathchant imprint, they deliver 6 tracks of focussed gabber glitch precision and hardcore electronics strictly for the roughest 'floors around. The material has been tried and tested on systems from Rotterdam to Parrs Wood and everywhere in between to brutal effect, veering from 4x4 nihilistic hardcore warfare, to unsane breakcore spazzouts knitted together with industrial strength filters and zhark-esque gloomy dankness. Standout cuts for them with itchy feet are 'lets build a nerd fort' and 'the awakening' but for my money every tracks a winner, guaranteed floor movers. Champagne hardcore heavier than yer mam.
Ninja Columbo 2 review by Boomkat:
Ninja Columbo on another mission to make you dance harder. Gabber poster boys Teknoist and Dolphin have been grafting hard in the lab, perfecting their distinctive fusion of glitchcore processing with the filthiest filtered 180bpm kicks this side of the North Sea. With the Planet Mu release imminent, the deadly double act are on prolific form at the moment, even expanding into grimy territories on future projects (watch this space!). 'Stand Up, Step aside' is solid floor dedicated hardcore, no f*ckin about. The Teknoist cut wins for me,'rastafrogian baycore' is a shit title but don't be fooled! Dolphin's 'crowdrocka' is the easier option, get your party started with this and you're in for a good night.
