Rekleiner Some People Murmur

murmur…. New label from Geddes, musical controller of London’s mulletover parties. Some People is atmospheric, groovy Techno for tripped out dancefloors and slightly messed minds. It’s fair to say a bit of mulletover’s distinctive blend of the funkier ends of Techno and the more jacking ends of...

Grovesnor Drive Your Car Greco Roman

Who, I hear you cry? Grovesnor is part of the close knit Greco Roman circle, whose members include Jesse Rose, Hot Chip, David E Sugar and Ross Allen. They have been putting on quasi-legal parties in Berlin, London and further afield for a little over two years now with the focus on jacking ble...

Boys Noize Suck My Deck New State Music

Latest in the Suck My Deck series and this time it’s the turn of Berlin wunderkid Alex Ridha, better know as Boys Noize. Alex’s skills behind the decks are well known to those who have seen him play at what seemed like every festival last year, and his trademark style of fast cut up mixing is e...

Daniele Baldelli Cosmic Disco? Cosmic Rock! Eskimo Recordings

Daniele Baldelli has been behind the decks in one way or another since the late 1960’s, as one of the first ever Italian DJ’s, laying down a mix of white European Disco, Synth Pop and New Wave, and black American Soul, R&B and Funk. This is Italian Disco! Eskimo Recordings have put out a ge...

Kid Creole Going Places The August Darnell Years 1974-1983 Strut

Alex Delano – The Path Of Least Resistance EP - Clink

Sick is good. Two Stops In Williamsburg is so sick it hurts to listen, and is my pick of the bunch. This is Alex Delano’s first release on Clink, and he has bought with him all of the production skills honed on releases for labels such as Plus 8 and Trapez. The 3 tracks here, have a slightly me...

Marcello Giordani Respect Yourself Mule Music

The old adage that simple is best, could not be better applied than here. Respect Yourself sounds like everything and nothing all at the same time. A long sparse intro leads into one of the most pleasing breaks I have ever heard, all disco shine and dancelfoor shimmer. A simple driving beat, fu...

Andy Vaz Moon Talk Protection Telegraph

The latest release for Andy Vaz on Paris based label Telegraph is a 3 tracker of bubbling bumping space house. Moon Talk Alert is a slightly discomforting Techno tinged track, urgent tones and skipping beats slowly make way for a fat acid bassline whilst Deep protection has more of an old-schoo...

Black Dog – Radio Scarecrow – Soma Records

The black dog is a Euphemism for depression, but there is not so much to be depressed about if you are held in as high esteem as these 3 guys. The Black Dog are considered by some to be the godfathers of British Techno, taking the Detroit formula, tweaking smudging and shifting it into somethin...
