Dekmantel Ten is a mirror of Dekmantel Festival. The 7x12 boxset includes seven records that mirror the seven stages to be found at the 2024 event, their 10th edition since 2013. The tracklisting isnt rigid some of the musicians gathered here have in fact played at most of the available stages but like a Mobius strip looping round, or a cat-and-mouse game, its not hard to discern a symbiotic relationship. Split seven ways, DKMNTL100 is a testament to the art of curation and the importance of quality control. At artist level, Dekmantel Ten finds room for several artists including Karenn, Jeff Mills and Marcel Dettmann who played at the very first Dekmantel Festival in 2013, and are by now impossible to detach. The Loops disc contains names whose stories have dovetailed alongside the festival, concluding in memorable headline moments: Young Marco, Palms Trax and Alchemical Sisters, aka Eris Drew and Octo Octa. Widen the lens and youll find history from across the landscape: the laboratories of professorial techno (Dasha Rush, Steve Rachmad, DJ Nobu) and gilded halls of house (Steffi, Luca Lozano, Bufiman); varied soundsystem icons (Kode9, Adrian Sherwood, DVS1) meeting limelights of contemporary Amsterdam (upsammy, Identified Patient, Zohar); as well as the modern conduits channelling decades of outernational vibrations (Nick Leon, BADSISTA, Animistic Beliefs, Veracco and a great many more). All 44 artists presenting exclusive material are indispensable into the Dekmantel story to date, and no doubt make up future developments over the horizon. That goes for the areas, too: Because while the seven stages found at Dekmantel Festival are individually resonant enough that they could become splinter festivals in their own right, its that union which lends the core festival its strength.

Identified Patient is back with more world-building on the Nerve Collect label he co-founded with Gamma Intel. His five-track Head Fuse EP is a sci-fi fantasy that reimagines bass, techno, dub and broken beat and nudges toward tranced-out altered states. The Dutchman's mutating sound is part machine-funk, part psychoactive haze, all wired to disorient the brain as much as move the body. Now, years after breaking through, he has evolved his sound into something entirely his own on the likes of Dekmantel's UFO sub-label as well as here. He once again taps into the subconscious with this new EP. 'Lost Noise Ceremony' is an ancient rhythmic summons from a forgotten underworld with ghostly vocal fragments draped over perfect drum syncopation. A growing sense of threat lurks in the shadows as warped lasers twist up the timeline. 'The thin line' pairs dubstep wobble with garage shuffle and dub techno tradition. Smudged melodies surface like forgotten memories and carry a nagging nostalgia for something you can't quite place. 'Truly Give Up' smears high-voltage lines and chrome-plated pads with UKG swagger and conscious mutterings. Obscured soul samples tug at the heart as playful vocal yelps cut through a sharp, expertly engineered party tool with real attitude. 'Late Calls' sweeps like a vast dub techno tide, heavy with reverb and pressure. Drums surface and recede, briefly opening space for fragments of melody before the current pulls you back under. 'Signs in the Dossier' drives with metallic, steel-struck percussion into infinite depths. It's an immersive structure that draws you into its centre and doesn't let go. The Head Fuse EP is a wildly imaginative soundtrack that brings new and unknown worlds to life.
