Underground Resistance

Where to start with this i'm not quite sure.
Checking out this month's Wire magazine i was shocked, shocked i say, to see such old timers on the cover as Underground Resistance. For those that don't know UR, Underground Resistance is a label/collective of mainly techno artists thats been around about as long as i have. I can't recall the first time i heard a UR track, but i remember being struck by it's ability to convey such a sense of revolution in a lyric-less song. Its pretty much the purest techno your gonna get. Driving, flashing, in your face synth's with a repetitive bass that won't leave your hips alone.
Anyway, it turns out that UR is alive and well, touring even . So the next step was the hype machine to see if theres been any talk in the blogshere about them recently...but not a whole lot was going on over there. I was also disappointed that none of my favorite techno tracks by either UR or any other artists seemed to be represented. So here i am to fill the void.

I love this track 'cause it shows the wide range of influence which techno has taken from.
