Astroposer - Meet my Brother
Sounds more Brainfeeder-y than Skam-y to me, but whatevs.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Superb comeback from Clone's out-of-action Dub sublabel, presenting the debut from young Dutch producer Astroposer. 'Meet My Brother' clearly recalls the advanced, bit-crushed electronic hiphop of Funckarma, EOG and Machinedrum, which is no coincidence because Astroposer was directly inspired by those records from his older brother's collection. Carefully avoiding any sentimental remakes, these six tracks are like a more 'lectronic adjunct to the Beat Dimensions series, still HipHop at heart, but very forward thinking. Hand-stamped copies, with free download code redeemable from the label. Tipped for fans of classic Skam and IDM/Hiphop!

Headhunter - Lost Prophet / Chasing Dragons
Detroit / Juke / Funky
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Fresh outta Bristol's Rooted Records hub, Headhunter lays down the latest Idle Hands 12". He appears to be on a Soca-Funky/Dubstep mission with both tracks. This works out best on the smartly poised 'Lost Prophet', syncing galloping drums with lung-collapsing subs before a majestic techno synthline comes in to remind us who we're listening to. On the flip 'Chasing Dragons' goes harder with a bulked-up drum palette compatible with more techno-inspired Funky, Juke and Dubstep tracks. Absolutely deadly twelve - there's no predicting what sounds this label will put forth...

Elan / FaltyDL - I Can't Breathe / Large Flash
A-side is a lot like Computer Jay or Danny Drive Thru, all heavy wonk drums and woozy 8-bit synths. B is classic Lustman, shuffling NYC garage.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Super slick future HipHop and Garage from the mysterious eLan and the man in NYC, Falty DL. We still haven't a clue who eLan is but if you like your beats butterd with Dilla-style beat and supremely hazy BoC synths, 'I Can't Breathe' is an absolute must have. Equally, the convulsive, scissoring hi-hats, skipping rhodes and subbass ructions of Falty DL's 'Large Flash' should be recommended to lovers of the finest fututre garage delicacies.

Krystal Klear - Tried For Your Love (Hudson Mohawke Remix)
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Fresh boogie-house heat from man-of-the-moment Krystal Klear, currently on a mission with tracks out for Hoya:Hoya, Dub Organizer, and now All City. Backed up with a Hudson Mohawke remix, 'Tried For Love' enters that dreamy late '80s zone with sparkling plastic synths and swung soul rhythms while 'Boogie Wan' slips into romantical mode with a slow jam for the lovers. 'Dekryptic' is the one you need to watch out for though, bringing it pure '86 styles with full-on soul-controlling synth licks. Out on his own tip entirely, Hudson Mohawke's remix opens into electro-acoustic boogie business before dropping into a Haç-ready piano-house bomb.

Echo Lake - Young Silence
Oddly enough, I got this shortly before it went off the shelf and into February of 2011. It's heady, reverb-soaked indie rock of the quality that only a label like No Pain In Pop can provide. Something like Neko Case in an echo chamber.

Demdike Stare - Liberation Through Hearing
Had this for a few months and somehow never posted it.
--- Quote ---When Peter Christopherson died, I listened to this album whilst going through my grief, and it helped quite a bit. I'd always been a much bigger fan of Coil's late-period run of drone-y/folk-y mysticism than its earlier, harsher music, and Demdike Stare looks to be, at least on some level, picking up that mantle. A lot of the songs here could have fit perfectly in the Equinox/Solstice series of Coil EPs (particularly "Regolith" and "The Stars Are Moving"). Top-shelf dark ambience. They're even named after a famous witch! I haven't had a chance to catch up with their other albums released this year (Voices of Dust arrived on vinyl just yesterday) but given the quality of this album I have high hopes.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---*Second of three Demdike Stare albums to be released in 2010, 45-minutes long, mastered at Berlin's Dubplates & Mastering* The second of three Demdike Stare albums for 2010 is upon us. Its title 'Liberation Through Hearing' is a direct reference to the 'Tibetan Book Of The Dead', an ancient text intended to guide the reader through the experience of the consciousness occurring during the interval between death and the next rebirth, a subject also hinted at in Western culture by the Skull Disco label and explored by psychonauts such as Timothy Leary. If 'Forest Of Evil' was the push-off, we're deep into the session now, rendering those intermediary hours of the trip when we're untethered from reality and deposited in the moment, an interzone of harrowing drones, acousmatic sampledelics and arcane intentions designed to create a state of psychedelic submission. The dark currents run deep, seeping from the billowing sub tones and heavenly choirs of 'Caged In Stammheim' , through the Köner-like spherical bell hum and grazed shellac textures of 'Eurydice' before craftily phasing your sense of spatial perception as 'Regolith' expands to the five corners of audition. Further in, 'The Stars Are Moving' flickers with electro-static pulses and petrified key changes before 'Bardo Thodol' circles the senses with hypnotic chants and percussion. Finally the pellucid meditative drift of 'Matilda's Dream' brings us closer to the light, describing harmonised ambient chords and a bleak yet centred sense of self.

Point B - Free Standing Structure EP
Few producers toe the bass / IDM line like Point B. Up there with Ital Tek in terms of prowess, if not exactly in execution.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Not heard from Point B for a while following on from his excellent twelves for Scsi and Combat a couple of years back, with this latest twelve for the Frijsfo Beats imprint displaying a more robust approach to electronic science with a sound somewhere between UK Garage, Dubstep and IDM. "Detritus" opens the set with a sped-up Garage formulation complete with dubby stabs and nicely stripped synthwork before "No Smokes" hooks up a modified square bassline for a shuffling stepper with a good dose of spannered synths thrown in for good measure. "Istocity Meter" on the flipside is the best thing here, getting hold of a demented 2-step vibe supported by a nicely freaked out vibe with elements of Bassline and IDM thrown into the pot, before Kuoyah's remix of "Someone Else's Past" closes the set with another re-built Garage template doing the trick with considerable low-end savvy. Good twelve.

Conquering Animal Sound - Bear / Plinth
Electro-folk single, sorta like a glitchier Joanna Newsom. Sorta.

Breton - Counter Balance EP
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Hemlock have a habit of thrusting highly impressive new artists upon the world - think James Blake, Untold, or Fantastic Mr Fox. London's Breton are the latest in line, emerging fully formed with a sound that's equal parts post-dubstep, rakish indie bloke vocals and Big Dada-style leftfield HipHop. Their five track 'Counter Balance EP' has already won favour with er, Coldplay's Chris Martin, and is set to achieve much acclaim going into 2011. The minimal framework of African guitar, crisp halstep drums and ethereal cockney vox in 'RDI' hints at something on the edge of dubstep, while the rest of the EP is driven by moody HipHop beats, with the highlight of 'December' clearly primed for bigger things. Can you smell major labels or is it just us?

Slit Jockey Records - Choice Cuts (2010 End-of-Year Sampler)
The label co-run by Starkey offers up a small sampler of its run this year. Pretty great if you like bass music that straddles the US/UK divide without being too heavily invested in either aesthetic.
--- Quote from: Bleep ---We really cant offer much better value than this... On this Slit Jockey digital sampler is 7 choice cuts to showcase some of the great music coming from the US label and all for the more than tempting price of £1. Topping the list is Philadelphia's king of bass - Starkey, as well a Rustie remix of a track from the Glaswegian / Slovenian / London female nomad - 8Bitch. Also on the sampler is Dev79, Kaiser, Numan, DZ and a brand new track from SDUK.

That's my friend Jamie! Although I've never heard this stuff, he only gave me his Japanese War Effort tracks (which are totally good, too! Check it out)
