Staca – Trauma 06

New but already essential Italian label Trauma Collective’s sixth transmission is another hefty dose of musical and macho techno. Opener ‘Take A Break’ has a supple but body-shaking rhythm with punishing drums and ‘Command’ then has frosty synth textures fizzing about over rumbling drums and bass that march onwards. It’s blistering warehouse tackle but will also work just as well in smaller back rooms. ‘Staca’ gets trippy with its dangling cosmic synth lines and slapping drum funk and ‘Stay Puft’ closes with a heads-down bit of tunneling late-night techno.
