Dark Techno: One/Nine Nine

Various Artists

Quantum Loop

This is the first-born for the newly formed Quantum Loop Productions, and what proud parents they should be! DT:l/99 broadsides several techno genres to create a dark, moody, highly intelligent release. Lurking beyond happy hardcore’s perimeters is the mission of the highest priority. Soma, Newt, Black Lung, Octaine, Nerve Filter, and Hemisphere get the guns firing with a combination of dancefloor trance, hardhouse, drum and bass, hard ambient, and a lethal dose of psychosis. Bringing up the flanks with old-school beats’ illbient atmospheres, electronica with female vocals and hard trance are Covenant, Hyperdex 1 Sect, Violet Arcana, Total Transformation, psionic, Unit 187, and Scar Tissue. Never before has a collection captured the influence and importance of Bauhaus and the Goth movement on today’s electro music quite like this. Paranoids Welcome!! Quantum Loop Productions, P.O.
