Torque

Never mind that it's only clocked up one release so far: newly launched Osaka techno label Torque sure knows how to throw a party. Following on from October's bash with DVS1, it's recruited a pair of well-regarded international names for round two: UK heavyweight Ben Sims and up-and-coming American producer Audio Injection (aka Truncate). Brace yourself for some pretty full-on techno, with support including Shine, Hiroki Yamada and dance performance group Meisai.
