Smith, more known in Techno circles, has put out some big tracks in the last year, notably ‘Transit Time’ on Sino and ‘Total Departure’ on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode label (

Amsterdam’s Jason Lanox just recently dropped us this dope 2 tracker, Bellalyka/The Getaway, courtesy of Deep Records.

Bellalyka comes from a unique angle; you can tell the sound selection is well thought out, and the melody is indeed on the bizarre end of the spectrum.

Sinister Habit is a well crafted tech tune, filled with filtered & reverbed percussion, bells and snares. It has a very clean sound to it, and builds very nicely. Things progress up to an epic climax toward the end, which makes 'Sinister Habit' a perfect piece for building a set. While not quite peak-hour material, this one is definitely groovy enough to get people moving, and it's well-mastered;

Karmacho Original version has a very inclined groove with a pluck, and an interesting freak-out type breakdown that could bring to the dancefloor a rather warped atmosphere.

The Julian Misher remix is a track with a mellower techno atmosphere and a precision line to follow in the groove.

The Jerome Montes remix is a valid alternative version aimed at those who prefer elect
