Clubroot - Remixes Vol. 1
SPL's is the track for you States-centric WOBheads, Zentz applies some Autonomic-y DnB rhythms, and Kuma... sounds just like Clubroot!
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Quite surprisingly, Clubroot's tracks have remained untouched by external forces, until now. SPL, Bryan Zentz and Kuma chip in with powerful, 'floor-ready services. SPL's mix of 'Semptiternal' is easily the ruffest and tuffest of the lot, crashing in with artillery strike snares and amped-up hardcore bass with dramatic results. Brian Zentz is well known for his tough techno output, but makes a strafe into atmospheric halfstep with this 'Dulcet' version, keeping the drums and melody suspended in dread airspace while the bass brings the menace from below. Taking a different look at the same track, Kuma's mix is more anaerobic, pushing into a closer, claggier effect akin to the recent Raime 12".

Illum Sphere - The Plan Is Dead
Illum Sphere has up to this point been one of those inscrutable dubstep / techno cross-pollinators but on this one he cuts loose a little bit and sounds a little bit like a less blown-out Raffertie, or a less exacting Ital Tek. A surprisingly good fit for Fat City, and possibly the best thing Illum Sphere has yet done.

Fizzarum - How Nature Works
A really convincing simulacrum of mid-period Autechre. Glitchy, but with just enough techno-flavored melodicism.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---A collection of rare and hard to find tracks, ‘How Nature Works’ originally surfaced as a hugely limited CDR back in 2004, so it’s nice to see it available for wider release now. The Russian duo have been dormant (or at least very quiet) for some time now, but their moody blend of Autechre’s technical wallop and Richard D. James’s ear for harmony is still just as involving as it was back in the late 1990s. This odds-and-ends roundup is a great cross-section of their work, and while it doesn’t have the distinct narrative of their ‘proper’ albums, it’s still a hugely enjoyable listen for fans and newbies alike. I’m getting nostalgic for the late 90s already, catching a bus to work, Minidisc player in hand, crack smoke in the air – aaaah. Lovely.

Lower Dens - Batman
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Jana Hunter has long been on our radar thanks to a couple of simply stuninng albums; 2005’s ‘Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom’ and 2007’s ‘There’s No Home’. I was starting to wonder what had happened to her before I came across this wonderful new single from her new band Lower Dens. Her remarkable voice is still present, but is now backed up by a ‘proper’ band, who give her songs room to reach the heights they always threatened to. While the music is still something of a throwback to a bygone age, Hunters songs are so effortlessly enveloping with an addictively woozy streak, it’s hard not to fall in love with them. For some reason the band reminds me of Beach House, but darker, fuller and with a lot more edge. A big recommendation.

Objekt - Objekt EP1
Serious Scuba / Pinch vibes. For lovers of classic dubstep.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Lean and hungry dubstep minimalism from the hugely promising Objekt label. We know b*b-all about the artists but in true, facelessly underground style, the music does all the talking. For the forward steppers 'The Goose That Got Away' jams on a warped 808 rhythm and ascending chords vibe, sounding something like Pearson Sound sparring with Jam City. Next, 'Tinderbox' turns out a more menacing vibe, building a forcefield of 808 bass to protect crunked-out triplet rolls and a rush of darkside adrenaline synths tapping into a deep reserve of UK rave essence. Support from Peverelist, Appleblim, Ben UFO and Pinch. This is the sh*t, basically. TIPPED!

Orphan101 - Propa / Disemble
Smooth dubtech productions from one of the niche's go-to imprints, Apple Pips.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Applepips present two electro-reinforced steppers from Bristol's Orphan101, including the immense 'Disemble'. With a brilliant appreciation for space and silence, this shocking B-side deploys startling darkside detonations and electromagnetic EBM pulses to completely make our day. Can't wait to hear this played on a big system!!! The flipside 'Propa' is a more restrained creature built with radar bleeps, fluttering electronica tones and a minimised, fluid post-dubstep skip enhanced with quaking subs. This is easily the best record Apple Pips have released since Instra:mental's 'Leave It All Behind'. Highly recommended!!!

Siriusmo - Feromonikon / Signal
This guy released an EP during the tenure of the last M/F thread and this single on his mentors' label steps up the "House" suffix on his signature electro, with Daft Punk influences being felt most heavily on the A. Still plenty weird, though.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---MDSLKKTR's buddy Siriusmo heats up the first Monkeytown 12" after the Modeselektion series. Packed with all the cheeky melodic chops and sawtooth synths you could hope for, 'Feromonikon' is like a more grown-up Boys Noize tune, Mans Music, if you like. 'Signal' is yet more charming, brimming with bright electronica melodies, a galloping, Funky-debted martial rhythm and bass guitar motifs not far from Squarepusher terrain. Unique.

Dawg, I think track 8 is corrupted. On my PC it's only 1.46 long.
Awesome post btw, have downloaded 90% of it.
