Sam KDC - Symbol #3
--- Quote ---With releases under his belt for 31 Records and Channel 82, Sam KDC turns up on ASC's Auxiliary series with three Ambient/D&B hybrids. A-side fluidly segues from dense halfstep pressure to a widescreen ambient roll off textured with delicate field recordings. Flipside he inverts the formula, exploring illusory ambient environs before a cavernous Reese bass floods the senses and flickering, Burial-esque voices emerge from the ether. Support from Synkro & Indigo, Commix, ASC, dBridge, Mary Anne Hobbs and more.

Various / Mordant Music - ModernismuseuM / MMegaplekz
--- Quote ---*Gargantuan 40 track compilation packed with previously unreleased material from Shackleton, Vindicatrix, Ekoplekz, Mr Maxted and Baron Mordant, plus a 76-minute mix by Ekoplekz!!!* MMassive 42-track compilation of previously unreleased and classic Mordant Music material spanning a decade and fifty releases, including exclusive tracks from Shackleton, Vindicatrix, Mr Maxted and Ekoplekz plus excerpts from the Misinformation DVD. In case you're under any disillusion, Mordant Music is surely one of the UK's most vital imprints, a much needed outlet for eldritch expressionism from the badly-cut fringes (the interesting bits) of Blighty's musical freaks and wyrdos. Any musical magpies should be instantly checking for the two previously unreleased Shackleton tracks produced around the time of his seminal 'Stalker' 7"; the brittle, 8-bar rhythm & noise rituals of 'Western Graveyard' and the gothic-Techno of 'Handle' are stone cold essentials. Meanwhile, we scan a stack of Mordant Music material including tracks from their crucial 'The Tower' series, the primal songcraft of Dennis Greenridge, and Mr Maxted's lush 'And That Became', plus a bleak instrumental from Vindictarix and two unreleased tracks by Ekoplekz additional to his FX-mottled MMegaplekz MMix. It's an absolute bargain, MMate!!!

Bibio - T.O.Y.S.
--- Quote ---Warp's usually melancholy electro-folkster struts out all raunched-up and humming of sexed-up synths, guitar and sax on his "break-out" single 'T.O.Y.S'. At the top 'Take Off Your Shirt' hitches his tight jeans for a proper rocking pose, before 'You Were Right' switches the dial to slow-flowin' robo-boogie with full on vocoder and crashing syndrums very much in the same vein as the Ford & Lopatin album. Flip her, and 'Chancylvania' cocks a leg over old-spiced keytar riffs, saucy French gynoid vox and fluttering pads reminding of recent Squarepusher outings. Topping it all off is a stadium-ready reprise of 'Take Off Your Shirt' for fans of Phoenix.

Beastie respond / Blawan - Syncopy
--- Quote ---Dark and techy 'step material from Beastie Respond, including a colossal Blawan remix. We'd have to align the anomalous folk-dub melody and quicksilver 'step of the original 'Syncopy' with recent productions from ASC or Synkro & Indigo, but the flipside is truly something else. Carved from heaviest Techno substance, Blawan augments it to a 126bpm velocity with impacting Berghain-style drops and a bassline heft weighing in next to Dettmann or Scuba's heaviest hydraulicks. One listen and you'll be bitten. TIP!

Photonz - Lamborghini Funk / Xabregas
--- Quote ---Non-standard, roguish House creations from Portugal's ace Photonz duo. 'Lamborghini Funk' is the 2nd release on their One Eyed Jacks label, after last year's brilliant 'Aquarian Ball' romp, and features three skilfully skewed but damn effective DJ tools. That title track is the slowest of the lot, working out some crooked 110bpm swingjack akin to Zomby or Actress, while 'Xabregas' conceals a genuinely potent acid rave riff amidst uniquely finished and shifty rhythm construct. Don't sleep on this one! Flipside is dominated by 'Cascade', again deploying those sheer-finished closed hats and bobbling toms wrapped with uplifting bass surges and a matrix of tangled bleeps. The mastering finish is so brittle and plastic but lush, it reminds us of that ace Lando Kal on HotFlush, and comes recommended to all.

Bitchin Bajas / Faceplant - Split
--- Quote ---**Split LP from Bitchin Bajas, the synth-driven solo project from Cave's Cooper Crane, and the hitherto little-known Faceplant.** Crane's last release, on Important Records, coincided tellingly with their reissue of JD Emannuel's new age masterpiece Wizards, and the comparison between the two artists continues to hold firm: opening up his side of this new 12", 'Consciousness 1' and 'Consciousness 2' are masterful studies in utopian kraut psychedelia, glazed organ arpeggios buffeting against a gently undulating backdrop of melodious drones - reminding us not just of Emmanuel but also modern-day standard-bearers like Lichens, Emeralds and Gavin Russom. Wiggy as you like. For us, the real revelation is Faceplant's side. If the soundly beat-led 'Ride The Ether' and 'Dickie Domecon' owe a debt to Germany, then it's to Kraftwerk in block-rocking mode. The former is a beautifully chewy slice of contemporary minimal wave, reminding us a little of vintage Tara Cross or Peter Bonner - proto-electro revisited with post-electro wisdom. With its squiggling acid accents, minimalist 808 patterns and persistently whumping bassline, the wonderful 'Dickie Domecon' wouldn't sound out of place in an early Chicago house mix; it's a stone-cold killer. And yeah, we're definitely going to be watching Faceplant closely from now on. A fine split this, which crucially amounts to even more than the sum of its excellent parts.

Wonderfully deep kosmische psyche-drones courtesy of Cooper Crain (CAVE) aka Bitchin' Bajas. On the flip Faceplant (aka PEAKING LIGHT's Aaron Coyes) delivers percussive psyche-trance beats with an ace dubby echo feel throughout. Muzik direct to the third eye!

amok, this Monad stuff is delicate!

I posted These Are Magnet's first LP a couple of years ago. Intricate, melodic, full forced DIY indie rock, left to soak in a blues bath. Hints from different genres are abundant, well played and effortless. Without a dull moment, TAM's newest release "Tiny Baby" is a repeat performance, featuring new jams, a cover and all the same radical techniques previously exercised.
bust it up, and bust it out
