Phonica turns seven!
Seven is the lucky number apparently, and we hope it brings luck to possibly our favorite record shop in the whole world - London's Phonica Records. Phonica is coincidentally the only place in the UK where you can get a copy of Slices or Electron...

Matthew Dear - Black City
I suspect like many people I was hoping for a record in a similarly upbeat vein to Asa Breed when I received Black City - the second full length from Matthew Dear where he uses his own name for more pop-orientated releases. Therefore getting my h...
Green Music 25 Fahrrad Disko - Berlin clubbers go green!
Berlin may be known as the party capital of Europe, but it is also fair to say that Berliners are pretty environmentally conscious - there is certainly more bio (organic) products around than in... say England. Everyone rides bikes and, although...
