John Tejada - Parabolas
--- Quote ---Lush long player from "one of the most notoriously meticulous producers around". For the past ten years Tejada has been a mainstay of the international Tech-House set, by-passing trends while remaining consistently true to a melodically sophisticated and perenially groovesome style. 'Parabolas' is his first major LP in three years and finds John in his most refined and dreamily spacious mode. Opener 'Farther and Fainter' draws us into a featherweight world of lambent electronic tones and effortlessly supple, square-bass driven groove, like Claro meets Lawrence, maybe? There's time for reflection on the floating three minute electro-acoustic composition 'The Dream', before the beautifully rendered contours of 'Mechanized World' and the piquant, AFXian electro of 'Subdivided'. The cascading arpeggios of 'A Flexible Plan' rank as one of the most luminescent highlights, while we're returned to that AFXian loveliness on 'The Mess And The Magic' and another sublime beatless moment on 'The Honest Man'. We think you'll have to agree, this is an exceptional album from a outstanding producer.

Margaret Dygas - Margaret Dygas
--- Quote ---Following her widely acclaimed album for Power Shovel Audio, Margaret Dygas returns to Perlon with this impressive album. Her unique Tech-House architectures are pensively minimal and full of surprising nuances like the tempered neo-classical keys which break the reflective surfaces of opener 'Missing You Less' or the almost out-of-time drums which stumble across 'Country Way Of Life'. But most of all this eponymous entry is defined by lustrous, glacial drones, creating wonderfully still ambience which would likely work without the beats. Those beats form crisp and often sparse rhythms, shackled to the 4/4 throb but unafraid to toy with it's conventions in a similar way to Kassem Mosse. Class.

Robert Hood - Omega: Alive
--- Quote ---Heavyweight, nicely sequenced and mixed collection of live versions from the don, Robert Hood, centered around tracks from last year's 'Omega' LP. 'Omega' was inspired by Richard Matheson's end-of-the-world novel (and subsequent movie adaptation) The Omega Man, and for 'Omega Alive' Hood has decided to give an extra "post apocalyptic" burnish to his productions - as if his steely, aerobic minimal techno sound wasn't dystopian enough already. As ever, what separates Hood from his legion imitators is his supernatural grasp of funk, and his ability to wring that funk out of even the most brutally linear, industrial shapes - 'Alpha: Alive' in particular grooves hard and lean, before opening up to admit twinkling arpeggios and an inevitable shout out to Detroit. There are some unfamiliar inclusions ('Bells At Dusk', 'Minimal Minimal'), but of course the real treat is the new versions of classics like 1994's 'Unix' and 'Minus', sounding as well-oiled and punishing as the day they were born. You shouldn't need us to tell you that Hood just owns this sound, and really, you can't go wrong with this album. Sick.

Toro Y Mi - Still Sound Remixes EP
--- Quote ---Toro Y Moi hands 'Still Sound' from his 'Underneath The Pines' LP to Toby Tobias for plush mid-tempo disco reworks. His 'Moving Sound' version is a creamy confection of vibin' organ chords over melted bassline and dreamy drag House beats sounding not dissimilar to a dubbier Junior Boys production. The Deep Dub on the flip is more serene, while Voodoo Bears round up with a subtly spacious and twinkling, electro-edged remix.

Carter Bros. - Full Disco Jacket
--- Quote ---Adelaide's Carter Bros. put Australia on the modern disco map with a charmingly sophisticated groove sounding like Moodymann meets Newworldaquarium. The Nebraska remix pops some more funk into the blend with patented compression techniques for a real dancer's special.

Prins Thomas - Lang Tung Ting
--- Quote ---Prins Thomas takes a squelchy mooch to New York with a homage to the timeless mid-tempo bounce of Bobby Konders on 'Lang Tung Ting'. Both this and the sparser, dubbier 'Tom Peng Pung' use the treated sound of a bassoon and cello to find that grouchy bogle bassline, alloyed with crisp drums and spiraling synths for the psych-o-jack bounce. In case you're fiending for the disco, 'Ny Maskin' and the friskier 'Trommebonus' set sail on proper mini-voyages for the stompers and the groovers.

Tiger & Woods - Through The Green
--- Quote ---Infectious debut album of ten "groove extractions" from the enigmatic Tigers & Woods unit. 'Through The Green' collects the best of their three highly sought-after white labels, records whch captured the imagination of dancefloors from Offenbach to St Andrews, shredding, slicing, juicing and boosting elements of their favourite disco, soul, boogie and house tracks into sophisticated new forms. Like the adroit edits of Frank Timm's Sound Stream project, they only work with select morsels, but it's all about the instinctive flow and arrangement of those samples, regenerating their essence into helplessly funky dancefloor tools loved by the dancers, revered by connoisseurs and made for those who know. We can safely say there's not a duff track among them, and cuts like the ecstatic boogie of 'Love In Cambodgia' and the recently reissued, Imagination-sampling 'Gin Nation' are bona fide anthems. Satisfaction guaranteed!!!

Brian Eno - Drums Between The Bells (Instrumental Version)
--- Quote ---What's this - Brian Eno making dubstep and techno?!! OK, it's only a clutch of tracks hat could possibly be described as such, but believe us when we say that Drums Between Bells, Eno's new album on Warp Records, is a significant departure from last year's Small Craft On A Milk Sea. The project has its origins back in the 90s, when Eno first collaborated with Rick Holland. Back then the collab came to nothing in terms of released material, but the duo resolved to work together again, and Drums Between Bells is the result of their renewed partnership. It's a tribute to the hustle and bustle of city life, particularly London and Sao Paulo, and it positively teems with life, foregrounding the spoken word: not just from Eno and Holland, but also Grazyna Goworek, Caroline Wildi, Laura Spagnuolo, Elisha Muly Aulie Cooke, Nick Robertson and Anastasia Afonina. After the unlikely dancefloor (well, sort of) dread of the first two tracks, the central passage of the album relaxes into the kind of lush, luminous ambient which Eno does best, ranging from the breezy pastoral sway of 'Pour It Out' to more aching, ominous pieces like 'The Airman' and 'The Real', which hark back to the earthen drones of Eno's On Land and the bright, aquatic piano cycles of his work with Harold Budd. We're back to ethno-futurist paranoia for 'Sounds Alien' and 'Dow', but if truth be told these numbers are rather unconvincing. We go out on a high with 'Cloud 4', a serene, sleepily sung number which wouldn't have sounded massively out of place on Taking Tiger Mountain.
