Maelstrom is a familiar name in the breaks scene with releases on Menu, Jalapeno Records, Rotax and Labrok. He’s set up a new label that errs towards the more electro side of things. First release sees Redux deliver a very tight and precise jerky electro robotic pounder complete with distorted bass and glitchy tweaks. It’s got a slight Daft Punk feel and has that filtered sexy French sound (being that he’s a French producer), something for the mind and the body. The ‘Candy mix’ starts off with a chunky breakbeat and bouncy bass and then goes all expansive and progressive and finally the scarily uncompromising and aptly entitled ‘Deadened mix’ a fierce distorted techno pounder.
