Debruit - Sis Surpriz
--- Quote ---French electronic producer dEbruit takes his moniker from a combination of the French words ‘debris’ (broken glass) and ‘bruit’ (noise), and on the heels of last year’s high-life inspired ‘Spatio Temporel’, this latest release ‘Sis Surpriz’ closes a trilogy of 12” EPs. This time around, the inspiration behind the four tracks collected here comes from Thomas’ recent visit to Turkey, with all manner of sampled live instrumentation bolstering the wonky beat programming and skittering melodic touches. ‘Accorde Don’ introduces the more exotic instrumental elements subtly at first, sending accordian pulses wafting against a bright backing of twisty g-funk synths, cut-up vocoders and the sorts of treacherously shifting rhythmic patterns you’d associate with the likes of My Dry Wet Mess, before ‘Turkish-ish’ unleashes clattering volleys of darbuka drums and ringing snares, the rolling percussion fusing with snakelike analogue synths in a manner that calls to mind a distinctly more g-funk oriented take on Omar Souleyman’s furious arpeggiation. Elsewhere, ‘Lil Zurna’ sees traditional zurna flute melodies being twisted and stretched all over the place amidst a twitchy backing of offstep boom-bap beats and squelching P-funk analogue synth riffs, before ‘Medze’ closes this EP off with a lazy slide out amidst clattering darbuka percussion, sinuous sub-bass drops and smoky-sounding sampled Turkish orchestration, in what’s easily the most dark and moody moment on offer here. An impressive EP from dEbruit that’s well worth checking out – you can get ‘Sis Surpriz’ either as a download, or on 12” vinyl with 3D sleeve art (and accompanying glasses).

Debruit - Let's Post Funk
--- Quote ---Features EXCLUSIVE extra remixes from Reso and Octa Push! Prepare to get your ass fully fondled by Debruit's latest 12" dropping on Civil Music. You know Débruit's steez by now, exceedingly squashed and lazer shaped hiphop instrumentals with more a hint of squiggly G-Funk inspired by everyone from Rodney Jerkins to Bootsy Collins. 'I'm Goin Wit You' features wicked Talkbox/Real vox interplay from Om'Mas Keith inna Cee Lo style over squelchy lead synthlines giving Joker a run for his money while 'Soles Sweat' on the flip rocks up a slamming Miami meets Prince killer with crunked raps from 215TFK & Stray inna Snoop Dogg 'Sensual Seduction' style. Scorchin'!

Debruit - Spatio Temporel
--- Quote ---Multi-coloured drunk-funk from Debruit! The French w*nkster finally drops the vinyl copies of his long-awaited 'Spatio Temporel' EP on Civil Music, rammed to the lugs with irresistible thumb pianos, Afro-house heaters and swaggering streetfunk. The unruly R'n'B bounce of 'K.O. Debout ' uses the distinctive likembé (the small thumb pianos also used by Konono No.1) to great effect over mullered vocals stabs and some of the tightest drums we could imagine, while '149 Dalston Airline' conflates African vocals with white-light electro-soul synths and the exceptional 'Nigeria What' rocks up a 130bpm Afro-house blinder that basically demands your attention! If you need any more persuasion after checking the samples, all copies come with a free pair of 3D gegs and a one way ticket to Lagos (OK, the last bit is BS, but the rest is 100% true!). ACES!

Peverelist - Dance til the Police Come / Fundamentals
--- Quote ---A long overdue meeting between one of the UK's most distinctive dancefloor operators and its foremost label. While the two have evolved simultaneously out of the post-dubstep milieu, they've never officially collaborated until now. A-side, 'Dance Til The Police Come' is techy and raved-up, with smudges of those melancholy synths which defined the killer Hyetal hookup last year on 'The Hum/Rrrr' or the outstanding 'Better Ways Of Living'. Flipside, once 'Fundamentals' fully locks in, it's lights out, coming with unrelenting, febrile subbass pressure akin to Elgato's 'Tonight' and layered with mystical, droning synths and humid cyber junglist atmospheres. Recommended!

Peverelist - Better Ways Of Living / Fighting Without Fighting
--- Quote ---Following the unanimous acclaim for his 'Jarvik Mindstate' LP, Peverelist drops two righteously forward riddims for Punch Drunk - and for our money they're his finest yet. The Bristol ringleader has built his rep on quality, not quantity and these tracks bear testament to his prinicipled and stringently executed approach. 'Better Ways Of Living' nods to the pared down 808 aesthetic of Swamp 81 with a brittle bustling beat scaffold acting like monkey bars for a piped synth organ to twist, scuttle and roll around in, while 'Fighting Without Fighting' continues the rhythmically busy flex with slick dipping edits and bespoke dub measurements applied inna future jungle-hardcore style. His built-from-the-ground-up style and the exquisitely brief yet sprightly synth motif make this one of his very finest tracks to date and a deadly mixing tool to slip with your Ramadanman, Blawan and Joe 12"s. Utterly sick twelve - don't miss.

Peverelist - Idle001
--- Quote ---Fresh from the Punch Drunk crew, the Idle Hands imprint delivers undercover operations from one of Bristol's finest on the label's debut release. We're not at liberty to spill any beans, because we don't actually have any, but an informed guess will probably clear up most queries about this record. The A-side rolls out the heavy dub-swingers vibe in brilliant style, laying pressure on techno-steppers subs and Berlin-influenced chords set at strolling tempo somewhere between techno and dubstep. On the flipside, the unnamed producer takes a different route to the dancefloor with a killer future-dub aesthetic. A tightly chopped and looped reggae-guitar is sequenced into hypnotic techno patterns over luscious subbass and pen-on-glass percussion for one one of the smartest mutations of the dub-tech sound we've heard all year. Heavy-rolling and wickedly funky = a big tip for fans of Appleblim, Peverelist or Ramadanman!

Various / Hotflush - Back and 4th
--- Quote ---Hotflush send us bong-eyed with a double CD collection of forward exclusives and anthems past from their revered stable of artists. The first disc is really unmissable, collating ten previously unreleased exclusives from Boxcutter, Falty DL, Sigha, Sepalcure, Boddika, Roska, dBridge, and more. Sepalcure (aka Machinedrum and Praveen) eases us in with the nuanced narrative of 'Taking You Back' a highly evolved and dreamy 2-step joint in the image of their two magical 12" singles. Next, Boxcutter brings the ruffige on 'LOADtime', built from burly breakbeats softened with his jazzy deftness, before Boddika swaggers out with the future jack of 'Warehouse'. Deeper in, dBridge excels himself on 'Knew You Were The 1' a sumptuous arrangement of midnight keys, soul-sweet vox and fluid riddim minimalism, while Scuba gives the killer jack attack of 'Feel It' and man-of-the-moment Falty DL delivers the magically atmospheric 'Regret' (how many great tunes does this man have?!?!). To the end of the first disc Sigha churns the 'floor with the Techno bulk of 'Fold' next to George Fitzgerald's sub-loaded yet flighty 'We Bilateral' and Roska turns us upside down with the fanciful Footwork of 'Measureless'. On CD2 we're presented with a run of recent classics from Mount Kimbie's 'Sketch on Glass' to Joy Orbison's 'Hyph Mngo', James Blake's remix of 'Maybes' and Pangaea's 'Witness'. Seriously prime gear, highly recommended!!!

Old Apparatus - Old Apparatus
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?3vdpxm7pwk8xpyg
--- End code ---
--- Quote ---Dreader-than-dread dubstep abstractions from the much murmured-about Old
Apparatus. Deep Medi have seriously opened the field with this release,
exploring a darkside realm of post-dubstep noise-sculpting/sound design posited
somewhere in the midst of Chasing Voices, Burial and old-style Vex'd. Nobody bar
the label knows who's behind it, but that only amplifies its enigmatic aura. The
A-side builds from a squall of distortion into cataclysmic bassline worship
sounding like Stephen O'Malley jamming with Mala while insectoid percussion
etches skeletal surface patterns and the rhythm unfolds like something from the
Anstam archives. The B-side is weirder still, a multi-sided geometric
construction unstably morphing from ecstatic dubstep noise to Raime-like
halfstep industrial dystopia, with an added welt of blackened distortion. This
is f**king brilliant.
