Behind the Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) : Release Notes

The Miller joins Backspin with a potent 7-track EP that explores the sharper, groovier edges of techno. Topped off with a remix by legend Gaetano Parisio, ‘Loops & Tonic’ is a no-frills, rhythm-forward toolkit. It’s percussive, hypnotic and full of old-school motion. The A-side opens with ‘It Was Just A Knife’, a tribal-driven looper layered with Detroit-reminiscent synths. The track is a subtle nod to the past, wrapped in tight modern production. Peak OG hardgroove. ‘Tryck’ dials up the tension with broken rhythms, tripped-out cymbals and bleeps, adding a leftfield touch without losing the percussive thread. The B-side brings out the funk. ‘Snake Venom’ and ‘Sax’ strip techno down to its rolling essentials: it’s all about punchy drums, melodic accents and a steady forward drive. The vinyl closes with the ‘Groove Cut’ version of the digital-only track ‘Bastard’, a remix by legendary producer Gaetano Parisio that reimagines the original into a leaner, melodic trip with clean basslines and spaced-out synth work. Two digital-only tracks round out the EP: the raw original version of ‘Bastard’ and ‘Megadrive’, a rolling piece featuring dreamy synth stabs and crisp percussion, both perfect for late-night transitions or deep floor moments. The fifth release of Regal’s label Backspin Records is a versatile, groovy and characterful techno record. The Miller’s ‘Loops & Tonic’ EP is a proof that the most effective techno doesn’t shout – it rolls, hits and lingers. It’s the perfect record for floors that never stop moving.
