So much techno this month! I have a theory that when the nights get darker in Scotland the rate of techno guests goes up in tandem. The Advent and Industrialyzer are in town to throw some acid, detroit and electro techno your way; three months ago they released the Root Key Ep on Advanced Intelligence and this month they bring it directly to your ears.
