"This Resopal release comes from portugese duo Re:Axis. On their stunning Infinite Control EP the porto based guys carve out a sound which sends the dormant slinky syncopations of minimal 4/4 techno, via delay and reverb, into a padded cell of cushioned, muffled bass, passing through the best of finest, crackling dub. Wow !! Two original tracks and an outstanding re:interpretation by berlin based Croon Inc. His mix comes across as a straightforward, hypnotic techno angle - turned into a neat dance floor track. All you wanna do is nod your head to the beat to forget where you are. And of course, the berlin / portugal connection is a welcome revival of the old Detroit-Berlin axis where techno meets deepness !"
"From Portugal, Monocline's Re:Axis worked on "Inebriate" and did what they do best, taking a more minimal approach, with attention to fine detail and an exemplary work on sound design. This is a great sequel to their previous "Return" EP on Soniculture Unlimited 004, demonstrating how talented and original they can be."

2009-08-04 - Re:Axis - Return EP (SONICULTURE LABEL) Out 4th August 2009
Soniculture Unlimited 004 brings us two of today’s most exciting portuguese techno producers in just one package. Re:Axis are known for their releases on labels such as Autist, Piso, Sammeplatz and their very own Monocline records, while Thinkfreak has been doing incredible stuff on Soniculture. Bring on the minimal action…let’s have maximal fun.
Kicking off with “It’s never late to return”, Re:Axis create a dark and hypnotic atmosphere, shooting elaborate, fine tuned sounds in several directions. Every fresh listening experience brings us a new perspective as if we look at it in a different angle. Works also perfectly on the dance floor as does “I can not believe”, with its groovy bass line, that makes it less serious and more fun. The plethora of sounds is still present, in different shapes and sizes, and everything becomes even more interesting. “Mechanical Instinct” contains a bit of both previous tracks…dance floor oriented, but also dark and hypnotic, it merges the views explored by the other two into a new original composition. The featured remix in this package is performed by Thinkfreak, who has been releasing regularly on Soniculture since the famous “Human Error” (Soniculture 004). The rework he performed on “Mechanical Instinct” keeps it hypnotic but adds a bit more punch and a new assortment of fresh ideas.
TrackList :
1. It's Never Late To Return (Original Mix)
2. I Can Not Believe (Original Mix)
3. Mechanical Instinct (Original Mix)
4. Mechanical Instinct (Thinkfreak Remix)

Review:
Monocline Records is back with a Remix compilation of Re:Axis‘s Warm Line track, wich offers 5 remixes by Kanio, Reagen, Marco Esse, Zecapx, Monokone and the Original mix. Re:Axis is already known for his former releases on Autist, Piso Records and Sammeplatz. In this time Re:Axis shares his samples with 5 great producers from techno/minimal scene to produce a complex & wonderfull journey of deep and groovy sounds. We start with Wam Line the original piece of deep techno mainly composed by these weird and hypnotic subtle melodies mixed with a groovy bass which gives a deep mental atmosphere. Next we have the remix of Kanio, who is known from their releases on Autist & Italo Business, in strong interpretation keeping the mental side of the original and adds a great layer of pumping bass creating a great arrangement. Reagen, from Leftroom explores a deep groovy bass with minimal bleeps and cycle sounds. Marco interepretations combines the original track with a beautiful sense of fun and power creating a bomb to the dancefloor. Zecapx Interpretation with its elastic Groove, exciting arrangement and vast array of percussion samples all gelling together to excellent effect. Monokone is an alter ego of Zentex, he creates music with techno his very own style that is influenced by both his cool and scandinavian funky Latin backrounds. Monokone has a more Dark/Deep style. And this track was more Dub, a typical end of Ep.
