The arguments for and against the current craze for re-issues have been made many times before so we’ll skip over that when discussing Australian producer Tim Jackiw’s Science of Sound 12″ that Discogs tells us was first released in 1997. I have no other information on the release or producer past what Discogs says and it…
G Marie – Tarnished Idol
KM Editions has been putting out some lovely stuff in recent times, such as last summer’s Les Crocodiles ‘La Nuit Des Tropiques’ on their Pleasure Unit imprint. Now they are coming with a new imprint called Pleasure Wave. The first release is debut outing from South London’s G-Marie, which has really caught my attention. It’s…
DFA Detroit
About 15 years ago, a truly wonderful deep techno record came out of the city of Detroit on the Surveillance Recordings label with a strange catalog number under the artist name DFA. This was during the time that there was the label releasing indie dance under the name DFA, as well as soulful NYC house…
A Visitor From Another Meaning / Model Man
A Visitor From Another Meaning – Lost Encounters 1 Stylish Dutch label Bordello A Parigi kicks off 2016 with two native masters; firstly a welcome return from Alden Tyrell’s rarely seen A Visitor From Another Meaning alias. Recent years has seen Tyrell move away from his electro and Italo influences into the realm of classic Chicago…
Kris Baha Bahnsteig Mix + label feature
Bahnsteig 23 was featured over at the Ransom Note, where they have put up a great ‘flavour of the label’ mix by Kris Baha and an entertaining interview with mysterious label boss Ziggy Sternenstaub. 12″s from Kris Baha, Schmoltz, Kito Jempere, Albion and some dude called Jonny 5 are scheduled for release over then next…
Jules Venturini – Untitled
Even though I have been a regular visitor to the Unsound festival in Poland I will admit to still being quite unsure about much of the country’s output in terms of house and techno outside of popular names such as Eltron John, Kuba Sojka and a couple of others. This untitled release by Jules Venturini…
Shanti Celeste – Being
Operating on a pretty high and consistent level of quality since 2008, 2015 seemed to be a bit of a breakthrough year for Future Times, scoring a mega-hit with Jack J’s somewhat limp-wristed “Thirstin’”, the increased profile of Beautiful Swimmers / Max D and general support and coverage for the DC crew increasing across the…
Dori’s Dance Party
Here’s a set I played at a friend’s birthday in January for your enjoyment. 2.5 hours of funk, afro, disco & reggae.
Tagwell Woods – Mecca
Appearing out of nowhere in 2013 with a single 12″ of stirring, reflective acid on WT Records, this unknown producer quickly disappeared again, continuing in that time honoured UK tradition of keeping as low a profile as possible, leaving room for endless big mouth chancers with far less talent to get all the press. It’s thus…
Laica – Tppr
Laica has been someone I’ve followed and supported for awhile, he puts out a diverse range of experimental and ambient electronic music often incorporating field recordings. His work often features expansive, beautiful ambient music and textures, underpinned, at times, by rhythmic passages. Laica has been prolific this past year, however, the release I wanted to…
