France
--------
"One of the biggest surprises of the past three years has been the quality of
techno coming out of Paris (...) Step 2 House is the brainchild of Fred Giteau 
and has established itself with releases by Perry & Rhodan, MK Ultra and 
Distributed Genitals. The latter has his second EP out in late February while 
trance act MK Ultra release their second EP 'Freedom' this week.
The label is also moving into more experimental and textural areas with Bonze 
& Wizz and 'Parijatik' by Climax Absolute, the latter being pure Goa trance."

Olivier le Castor : Lodge EP
---------------------------------
"Another excellent hard trancer from France's pioneering techno label Step 2 
House, this release sees Olivier le Castor's second release for the label and 
it's one hell of a tune. 'Lodge One' is a dark and sinister trancer, a deep 
underground Detroit sound via Paris. 'Lodge 2' is a deep building hard house 
trancer that just continues to build throughout the mix, while superb sounds 
and percussion take you away, throbbing bass and rattling percussion combine 
to produce one hell of a tune. 'Interpolis' is a well crafted slice of 
Detroit-style music. The final 'Lodge 3' starts with a booming kickdrum and 
builds up into another storming track, a pulsating bass and a minimal groove 
that's full of power. Another essential that's well worth chasing up"

"I never take drugs, but just listening to this EP makes me feel like I'm on 
something weird. Totally dark and murky sounds taking you on an interesting 
journey that would clear my crowd off the floor, drive poor paranoid souls up 
the wall, and yet is rather appealing"
