Fresh from successes on plate and in the dancehalls with the Black Dog, Dust Science returns with fresh blood for 2007 on the Faith Is Fear EP.

We've been fans of Fabrice Lig for years her at Dust. He's released an avalanche of great techno on classic labels such as KMS, 7th City, F-Comm and Playhouse and he's done us produ with his first release for us. "Access Denied" is a surging, swinging, darkside monster that's relentlessly tricky and funky. The Detroit pads are seriously tripped out and swamped in glitchy beats and stepping hi-hats, and there's some serious low end; it's a hell of a track.

Regis and Female are responsible for some of the best UK techno ever made. Here they contribute C/Chaos; performed live at the Orbit in Leeds, it's simply massive, propelled by downward twisting strings and utterly slamming, intoxicating electronic rhythms.

Techno luminaries The 65D Mavericks are renowned for their driving but innovative techno. "WireTap" is well up to their high standards. Skittering sub-electro beats and stop-start melodies make this a sun rise classic. Wheras Sheffield wunderkind Carl Taylor has given us a peak time banger of the first order. "Scanner" is an awesome full-fat techno disco monster and will pulverize dancefloors across the world.
