“We started the second part of Kidnapping anniversary moving to Madrid, the Spanish capital, which it has mentioned has a long history of connection with the techno. We walk into the streets stained with blue blood drops conquests news from distant lands and Lope de Vega poems, uploaded to the first two tracks, by prestigious artists: The first, ‘Uanamani – Avaris’ which as a opening disc also has the symbolic characteristics of diversity, deep ambient dub techno and even some break, an off voice and a bit of calm before the storm coming at all. The second, ‘Groof – Darkest Hour’. Roberto Gemelín, that in other times firms as Robert Calvin, and here he does as Groof, which deals with different styles and always does well. In this case shows the seriousness that you put on your techno industrial environments, without abusing of the speed of the beat, and displaying maximum strength. The region has much to investigate, and it is then that we stay in Spain, because the third artist, Jose Pouj, which initially began its work in Castilla-León, after a time also moved to Madrid. And inside the industrial air, he has added shades of experimental techno. We took off to the British Islands, and stop in Dublin, Irland’s capital, to hear ‘Adam Kelly – Find A Way Out’ and its maybe the darkess material of the the disc. Strong, sharp hi-hat and giants drums who never stop moving, destroying any opposition. We return to Spain, but in this case the city of Valencia, to rediscover Raszia, an artist that usually used to does his good works in Kidnapping, and this time gives us ‘Battlestar’ a traveler techno with an climate tense and universe metallic squeals. We move to the East, to the Budapest city (Hungary), to give play to ‘Synus0006 – Shots’ an unhurried techno, synthesized sounds, oxidized percussions and modern air. Finally, Unit 115 closes with ‘Lepantt’ experiencing the honeys moves, putting variants to the high note that plays, to the synths with saturated atmospheres and melodies that suffocate under a sequence of drums with personal style.”

“Kidnapping is for celebration, and how could it be otherwise, removes a disc that symbolises the happiness of their anniversary. A meeting of artists from the label, which contribute their two cents to the album that contains two parts full of names, beginning, and various substances, faithful to Kidnapping style. The first part opens with ‘Subliminals’ extensive techno idm track with an infernal brekeado, and as a sample of all that diversity that identifies the stampl, full of shades and sounds of different nature. Mutant Beatniks lets us see his British blood, from the city of Bath, near Bristol, in southwestern England, but it is not English tradition only, which applied to music would be enough, the city of Bath has roman origins, and it has cultural attractions that it has transform into a World Heritage Site; well, these achievements as we add also to the contemporary techno. We flew towards the beloved Barcelona to meet to his second job. Between thrashings Barca, blue Mediterranean and remains of the Gaudi´s magic, we find the industrial ambient techno that proposes Delusions (Archi Ferrero & James Hazel) with his track ‘Dynamic 2’. Walking on the amplitude of his grave, make us friends with the lashes of their percussion. We crossed the ocean, and while we´re trying to get used to spicy food in Mexican City, we get into the insistent ambient techno ‘Reiko – Spell Spain’ with a tinny piano that seems naif, but ends up having the forcefulness of a screw is threaded into the temple. We gain strength for a long trip: to the next track far away in the Orient. We fall in Hokkaido, Japan’s largest island, mountainous with geological eruptions, clear lakes and thermal baths, reliefs that perceives in different layers of background that add idm techno groove of ‘Terra Motogaya – Press Cord’. We return to Europe, back to Spain, and along the shore Ebro River, we stop in Zaragoza, crossed by Roman history, medieval, Renaissance and Modernist. It has Universality since the sixteenth century, it had Goya painting the corners, and in present it has a techno that makes you shake the floor. Theres no need for details, if you want to move the track, turn on play to ‘David Meiser – Technology Is Back’, loud and clear. We moved to the sixth track walking towards northern Europe, we stop in Berlin, and start talking of Berlin in a portal techno music, needless to say… just say that Berlin is still high quality reference and breeding, ‘Dubit – Klassick’ has clearly demonstrates this. A Unit 115 we know Buenos Aires air, but if we add to his techno a melodious pianos that always insist and a transatlantic flight that it had move to his new residence in Barcelona, gives us the results of his new work.”
