Various – Frenzy Various Artists Vol. 4

Frenzy's fourth VA is less a compilation than a living ecosystem, twelve artists orbiting around a shared gravitational pull. Across four sides, FRNZYVA004 fuses hypnosis with heft - where polyrhythms meet precision and atmosphere breathes inside compression. The opener, Non-Cyclic's 'Relative Motion', glides through magnetic tension before JSPRV35's 'Seismik' detonates the floor. From William Arist's moody grit to DJ Dextro's gleaming propulsion, the record sustains motion through subtle mutation. By the final stretch, Markantonio, Sol Caballero and Isaiah thread catharsis through distortion, their closing trio carrying equal parts sweat and transcendence. A meticulously sequenced document of contemporary techno's plural voice - it's resolutely forward.
