Quality techno from this Dutch Techno Don! A stalwart of the Dutch techno scene since the mid nineties, Jeroen Schrijvershof has been ploughing his own furrow aside from the typical norms and standards of the techno scene with lasting integrity and unflinching dedication throughout the years. A coinage derived from the sharp, clinically designed blends he has come to be known for, that Search-sound has long established as a blueprint for DJs seeking laser-guided weaponry into their sets, and Jeroen's maiden effort for RYC follows that very guideline. Starting with the massive pound of the title-track, "Enigma", the EP knocks into your system with blunt force, ushering us into a no-frills corridor of hydraulic kicks and sizzling static.

Kicking off the EP we have a Jungle Techno track from 2007 ‘Revolution’ made by Persian & DJ Staf, ‘Kool London’s finest DJ’...‘D dub retwist’, see’s a minimal Break Heavy Dub amidst a Trippy background soundscape from a Japanese Movie.‘Rumbling interlude’ There’s some interesting Organ at play over modern D&B being played here, al be it with the room vibrating (hence the title) this short segment is a nice escape!‘Milton 21’ This track dates from 2001, this is a rare glimpse of what Jungle Techno may have become, a direction of futurist sound play amidst Bone Crunching Heavy Bass! Again, Genre pioneering stuff, from True Underground Artists.‘Not nuff time’, feature’s Lauryn’s freshly sounding Tone, over one of Persian’s Breakbeat projects...This has variations of electronic shades of what a deejay would love! These tracks were found & lovingly remastered for this ‘ Collector’s Breaks’ EP.The cross over has been kept!

Brand new label VIBRASJON kicks off with a tsunami remix EP, joining two of west-coast Norway's favourite sea-gazers. Following Vullum's "Ohms Love" LP from last year, Telephones reimagines and transforms the material through three elaborate new metamorphosis. Beatless ambient, leftfield trip-hop and euphoric balearic techno - from 0 to 137 bpm. "Changgu-Satturnu (Telephones' Mind Meld)" takes you on a cinematic ride to the etheral, while the strong emotional tide of "Tustna (Telephones Slowmocean Ambient Mix)" pulls you out, far and deep through rogue waves and swells of starry-eyed nostalgia and pure feel. Flipping the record, not to mention tempo, "Tustna (Telephones Sueñotechno Rush Mix)" is exactly what it sounds like: A pounding 12 minute mind-trip through ambient techno, to a parallel universe where Hawaii, Detroit, Goa and west-coast Norway are all grains of sand at the same beach.. do not miss!
