A few months ago Clone got the worldwide electronic community foaming at the mouth with the announcement that there would be new Drexciya re-issues on the way. First off were a few 12s that Clone had already released or re-issued themselves before, leaving us wonder when they’d be pulling out the big guns or if [...]
Last year’s Returnal album was a pretty enjoyable if far from earth shattering release from Daniel Lopatin and while it’s somewhat of a given that he’d have to pull something pretty incredible out of the bag to ever top his Rifts compilation, I was still intrigued to see what he’d offer up this time. [...]
Following on from Tom, I’m gonna try and break off smaller, more frequent reviews instead of compiling lengthy posts that take forever to do. While in theory this will mean I’ll be a little bit fresher with the material, not so in this case. Ah well. Optic Nerve – 3 Dimensional Ep (Diametric) I [...]
I’ve long been a fan of the work of Andrés; in fact, he was one of those “holy grail” type producers when I first started buying lots of house and techno a decade ago. His tracks have always been heavily sample based, but originally they were much more tracked out and minimal compared to what [...]
This is chopped out of a new records post I never finished back in the beginning of summer… Some of my favorite music recently has been coming from people of a distinctly non-dance music background. The two members of Pittsburgh prog band Zombi have both had some nice electronic releases on a bunch of labels, [...]
Hey everybody! This is my first time posting in almost three months, and in an effort to get things moving in a more efficient manner for me, I am debuting the new record review posts I will be doing. Really not much is changing, the style will be the same but instead of the round-up [...]
Now that we’ve resumed some sort of regularity again on here, it’s time for another record round up covering some of my summer purchases. While I have stopped, for the most part, buying records on line this year, it’s nice that I can still rely on a local store, namely the combined forces of [...]
Just a quick round up of some new releases I’ve been feeling in the past couple of months and a nice interview with Victor Rosado… Theo Parrish’s remix of About Group’s You’re No Good is his trademark deeply layered grimey house cut, with heavy bass, jazz keys, and vocal samples shimmering in and out. It’s [...]
We’ve been very busy recently here in Pittsburgh! My PTA partners Adam Ratana, Preslav Lefterov, and I, as well as friend Erin Holland, have joined forces on another project we call In The Machine Age, a business through which we run record labels. We have a Soundcloud page as well as a Twitter page so [...]
I’ve been slack on posting about records this year for the very simple reason that I haven’t been buying much. It’s not because there isn’t much good shit out there (I still don’t have either Versalife 12s arrgghhh), I’ve just been channeling my funds into other things, some that are relevant to music, some less [...]
