SBTRKT - Wildire / Objekt Remix



Quote
Berlin’s Objekt can basically do no wrong right now. The latest transmission from the shady producer is a remix of Sbtrkt’s ‘Wildfire’, due out digitally through Young Turks on June 27, and, it seems, with “dub” and “tool” edits on a forthcoming white label.

Live Thugs - Exploration EP



Quote
Yet a real insider's tip but the "Exploration EP" by Live Thugs will be the record to which everyone, djs, collectors, etc. will flock to soon. Hiding behind the inconspicuous name of 'Live Thugs' you'll find the pair responsible for the best addition to the 'Live At Robert Johnson' mix series - Thomas Hammann and Gerd Janson. Modern and deeply rooted house music. Great!

One of my favorite records at the moment! Enjoy :)

Mike Huckaby / Rick Wilhite / Norm Talley / Rick Wade - The Defenders Of The Deep House World



Quote
Third Ear throw down a splendid set of deepst house trax from The Defenders Of The Deep House World aka Detroit's Mike Huckaby, Rick Wilhite, Rick Wade and Norm Talley. Our man with the waves Mike Huckaby is largely in control here, providing one original and two remixes. His scene setting 'The Deep House World' keeps it true with shimmering chords and raw but elegant rhythm built from thick bass and dancing hi-hats. His reconstruction of Wilhite's 'Playcism' cuts a more rugged figure with grumbling bass and hypnotic conga rolls setting a gritty groove and his 2010 remix of Talley's 'Change' shakes up tight tribal rolls with soul warming keys. Rick Wade's own 'Bleach' strut up with a heavily percussive mover flecked with tense disco strings and swooning bassline for luxurious effect.

Madlib - Medicine Show No.5: The History of the Loop Digga



Quote
Episode 5 of Madlib's Medicine Show series is a essentially a "best of" his superrare beat tapes made during his formative years 1990-2000. 'Lib made a stack of tapes in the period between producing the Alkaholiks debut and really getting it together on the seminal Quasimoto album, showcasing whatever archetypal sample jams he was working on at the time. These tapes would be circulated among friends and prospective MCs, with some making their way onto releases by Wildchild, Percee P and others. One section is given over to productions by CDP aka Crate Diggas Palace, the studio/rap crew attached to his Oxnard, CA beat lab and featuring very early appearances from Madlib and his alter ego, Lord Qasimoto. The beats are every bit as abstract and blunted as you'd expect, and then some! It's like being given access to the foistiest corners of 'Libs brain/studio, unearthing all manner of beat nuggets to make your head spin 360 on it's axis if ypu've got a soft spot for this era of the beat. Vinyl and CD copies come with loads of extras but if you're only after the juice then then is well recommended!

Slowhouse - One



Quote
These guys have been wrecking our heads recently with some primed deep house goodness so we've done the right thing and got hold of some copies of the first release on the label. Again the label sticker and record are authentically anonymous, featuring the same silhouette and text and again it's four variations of the same midnight house styles but it's the quality and execution of these untitled cuts that makes them so essential. Moving from succulent dub house (with the emphasis on the 'house' bit') to buttered Detroit beatdown and eternal square-bassed jackers this anonymous producer draws comparisons to everyone from Theo Parrish to Claro Intellecto to Newworldaquarium to Rick Wade and a ruck of other lauded producers and quite rightly so. The styles contained within this 12" and on a larger scale the whole Slowhouse series are pure deep house gold and any self respecting fans of the genre will be kicking themselves if they miss out on any of the releases, do not sleep!!!




Slowhouse - Two



Quote
A second mysterious 12" from the Slowhouse Recordings crew, featuring three rock solid deep house cuts, ranging from the filtered, dub-influenced reductionism of the A-side to the funk-infused Rhodes stabs of the final piece. There's no real information to be gathered on the derivation of this rather anonymous looking piece of vinyl, but the calibre of the production is a good deal less inconspicuous than its presentation.




Slowhouse - Three



Quote
In the space of only three records Slowhouse recordings have carved out a tight niche for themselves in the oft overburdened deeper house scene with an authentic and killer selection of primest deep dancefloor styles. This latest addition for the imprint contributes another four tracks of irresistably squashed deep hizoose variations, cut loud and very proud to sound f***ing phat on a big system, minimal ingredients with maximum flavour. The reference points for this run from Boo Williams or Move D's Chicagoan classicism, to the fresher manipulations of Portable's Bodycode alias or Cassy's lush and contemplative house soul, and also slotting in nicely with the slew of boutique imprints from Styrax leaves, to MoM and hardwax's workshop, basically infallible high class house that hits the spot dead on. Awesome.

Fatima - Follow You EP



Code: [Select]
http://www.M/F.com/?yu72l128pbo4ca6
Quote from: release notes
Utterly exquisite offerings from Eglo’s blessed soul vocalist, Fatima Bramme Sey, atop the creamiest beats from equally talented producer/label boss, Floating Points. If you’ve dipped into the warm waters of modern Soul in the last few years it’s highly likely you’re familiar with Fatima’s output already, from her appearances on DVA’s ‘Just Vybe (Soule:Power Mix)’ to Shafiq Husayn’s ‘Lil Girl’ or a slew of Eglo releases. Make no mistake, though; this is the one you need! The A-side is a luxurious showcase in three parts: from the bass-suspended red-carpet introduction of ‘Cinnamon’, through the soul-controlling R&B of ‘Mind’ and the compellingly classic-sounding ‘Innervision’. However, we reckon it’s likely the flipside will be hailed as the masterpiece of this record, and both her and Floating Points’ calling card for time to come. On ‘Red Light’ her immaculately rendered tones rise from filigree Rhodes keys to be joined by tenderly gripping shuffle beats Theo P would be proud of, before unfurling into one of the most luxurious Deep House tracks you’re likely to hear this year, if not the next five. The production throughout will potentially leave you breathless. Take it on trust or check the samples, either way you’ll have to dislodge that heart from your mouth. Highly recommended!

Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth



As Oliver Nelson is known primarily as a big band leader and arranger, he is lesser known as a saxophonist and organizer of small ensembles. Blues and the Abstract Truth is his triumph as a musician for the aspects of not only defining the sound of an era with his all-time classic "Stolen Moments," but on this recording, assembling one of the most potent modern jazz sextets ever. Lead trumpeter Freddie Hubbard is at his peak of performance, while alto saxophonists Nelson and Eric Dolphy (Nelson doubling on tenor) team to form an unlikely union that was simmered to perfection. Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Roy Haynes (drums) can do no wrong as a rhythm section. "Stolen Moments" really needs no comments, as its undisputable beauty shines through in a three-part horn harmony fronting Hubbard's lead melody. It's a thing of beauty that is more timeless as the years pass.

Proem - Among Others



Hailing from Austin, Richard "Proem" Bailey follows up his previous full-length Negativ with work in the same fibrillating, brooding beaty vein. Taking a couple bits of morbid ambience in "001" and "Your Grandfather is Dead" to get warmed up, Among Others, on the MiniDisc label n5MD, really starts to get interesting with the bubbly, scratchy "Phat Sheild" serving up a deep slice of twinkling starscapes and crunchy beats that reminds the happy listener of a beautiful homage to soupy Bola. "Early Rings" rumbles slowly, the humming of florescent lighting and subsonic reverberations suggesting visions of a subway car pushing air through a tunnel, with its track-gap beat building until the sluggish beast rolls its way through the pre-dawn of a slumbering, industrial city. The irregular cadences of "Three Days Before I Move" and "Crashmap" suggest a struggle between broken symmetries, a collapse of order and control with freestyle attempts by the musician to patch up mistakes as best he can as the pieces play themselves out.

Saru - Downtempo Dojo



Saru is Los Angeles-based downtempo electronica artist Steve Branson, who has appeared on numerous compilations and makes his solo full-length debut with this very fine program of dreamy beatscapes and off-kilter found sound samples. He's aided and abetted by guitarist/bassist Jim Behrens, who leavens the abstract atmospheres with swatches of actual harmonic content. On tracks like "Something Stronger" and the explicitly dubwise "Suck in Love," Behrens comes on like a tripped-out combination of Michael Brook and Bill Laswell while Branson loops beats and lobs samples around in the background; the relatively spartan textures of "Fishbowl Funk" manage to evoke classic soul and jangle pop at the same time. Like much of the best electronica, this stuff is relatively easy to ignore if you need to get some work done, but also rewards your attention when you make the effort to attend to it.

Frog Pocket - Gonglot



Proving that Four Tet doesn't have the folktronica scene all sewn up, John Charles Wilson weighs in with a rough-hewn collection of fractured, raggle-taggle Techno tracks involving fiddles, mandolins and piled up broken beats. Something about the music's lack of subtlety is strangely appealing - you won't be spinning this one after your Boards Of Canada albums, but that's exactly the point. Wilson's beats are a real mess - apparently each rhythmic part was punched in manually - and often seem to work against the music rather than underpin or frame it n any meaningful way, but Gonglot has none of the pheasant-under-glass tastefulness that usually dogs this kind of stuff. On the great "Eye Beby Y Ben II", looped violin scrapings create an ever more intense textural web as the beats tie themselves in knots as if trying to effect an escape. At last, an electronic album that sounds like it was made by a real person.

Man With No Name - Moment of Truth



Accessible trance doesn't always mean 'cheesy' or 'fluff'. Just because MWNN's music isn't as dark or trippy as the likes of Hallucinogen or Total Eclipse (both of whom I also love), doesn't mean that it cannot be enjoyed for the more 'feel-good' side of goa/psy-trance that it represents.
This album, and indeed MWNN's music in general, is something you can enjoy no matter what mood you're in. Give the guy a break. There's no rule saying that psytrance can't have chord changes.
Plus, 'Azymuth' is one of the best downtempo tracks I've heard, floating and lilting, it takes you on a journey from start to finish. If it's a good slice of upbeat, uplifting, non-monotonous goa/psy you're looking for, this album will not steer you wrong.

Scone - Maze


After tracking down most of the Funckarma output, I realized that their recent material (Caipruss, Bion Glent, and many contemporary remixes) sounded too similar, as if the ideas were growing stale. But then Funckarma started collaborating; frequently, heavily, and with vastly different results. Scone is by far the most satisfying of these collaborations to date, and is easily one of the best albums on which Funckarma have ever made their mark. Kettel brings a lot to the table for this release, with excellent melodies and a fresh addition to the chopped-up and frenetic beats for which Funckarma are famous. Funckarma, likewise, add funkiness and flavor to the normally more reserved Kettel electronica. Although all of the tracks on this album are superb, it’s easy to see why the album singles out “Maze” for the title track. It’s a perfect blend of Kettel’s and Funckarma’s styles, and a damn catchy tune as well.

Terrorizer - World Downfall



One of the landmark albums of the late-'80s grindcore uprising, World Downfall is nonetheless one of the least known, because the band only existed long enough to record this one Earache release. In fact, Terrorizer had already parted ways by the time of World Downfall's 1989 recording and release. The Los Angeles-based trio -- vocalist Oscar Garcia, guitarist Jesse Pintado, and drummer Pete Sandoval -- existed for only a short period of time, roughly from 1987 to 1988, and though they played some local shows, they were most successful on the tape-trading network so integral to the underground metal scene of the time. Via this tape-trading network, Pintado came into contact with fellow guitarist Mitch Harris, who passed along the Terrorizer demo tape to Earache Records. The British label, which was ground zero for the grindcore movement, wanted to usher Terrorizer into a studio to record an album. Meanwhile, Sandoval had been invited to join the Florida death metal band Morbid Angel, which had been around for several years and had a strong underground following. Sandoval accepted the invitation and joined Morbid Angel in Tampa, where the band entered Morrisound Studios to record Altars of Madness, released by Earache in May 1989. Garcia and Pintado in turn joined their relocated bandmate in Florida, and the reconfigured Terrorizer lineup -- which now included Morbid Angel bassist David Vincent, who offered to fill in the bass duties -- rehearsed for a couple days before entering Morrisound Studios. It took producer Scott Burns two days to record and mix the tracks of World Downfall, which Earache proceeded to release in September 1989. The album is a 16-track, 45-minute onslaught of prototypical grindcore à la Scum: the free-form songs, which range from about 1:30 to 3:30 each, are filled with blastbeats, growling, and solo-free riffing. Highlights include "After World Obliteration," the insane opener and longest song on the entire album, clocking in at 3:29; "Fear of Napalm"; "Corporation Pull-In"; and "Dead Shall Rise." Shortly after the release of World Downfall, Pintado was invited to join the ranks of the mighty Napalm Death, whose guitar slot had been vacated by the departure of Bill Steer, who left to focus his efforts exclusively on his other band, Carcass. Pintado joined Napalm Death in time to re-enter Morrisound once again, this time to record Harmony Corruption (1990), while Sandoval went on to enjoy a long-lasting career with Morbid Angel. Garcia would later sing in the revived lineup of Nausea. So while Terrorizer was never well known, since the band barely existed, let alone toured or promoted itself, World Downfall has grown in stature over time and is regularly cited as a grindcore classic.

Mosca - Tilt Shift (Julio Bashmore / Swing Ting Mixes)



Quote
Finally landing after regular rinses from Marcus Nasty, Wifey crew and Mosca himself, Fat City present the debut Swing Ting remixes backed with that canny Julio Bashmore rework. Swing Ting are the dusty-fingered DJ/Producers Samrai and Platt, hosts of Manchester's most clued-up monthly rave and certified rudeboys (with honours). The instinctively deadly arrangement of their bubbling vocal treatment is testament to a profuse knowledge of Grime, Garage, Bassline and Streetsoul dynamics, serving a suave yet rudely effective transfer of dancefloor energies in ruffest soundsystem tradition. Nexx, the dub is just pure pressure, like Mala's 'Bury Da Bwoy' resounded with Grimier Dread senses and strangely duppied ambience. Flip it and a strident Julio Bashmore boosts the original vibe with freshly pimped triplets and bumped subs. But, for us that A-side is a weapon. Trust us: keep an eye on the Swing Ting!

Arkist - Rendezvous / Fill My Coffee



Quote
Bristol's versatile Arkist drops two cuts of electronic breakbeat soul and Techy post-dubstep funk for Applepips. Over the last year this fella has been busy building a solid reputation with tracks released on Deca, Immerse and If Symptoms Persist, but we'd go as far to say that 'Rendezvous' is the pick of them all. The sensation of wide, open space lends a lush atmosphere for yearning soul vox and sweetly tilted synth pads to kiss the head while richly melodic bassline worthy of Joy Orbison cushions the crisp, rolling funk drums for swinging summer vibes. 'Fill Your Coffee' is a more melancholy boogie number, bearing the same sort of tenderised production values as say Beaumont or SDC, but with a more smoked-out, dubby haze about it.

Hype Williams - Kelly Price W8 Gain Vol.II EP



Quote
If you'd told us back in 2009 that Hype Williams would one day be releasing an EP on Hyperdub, we'd have raised our eyebrows, but a year or so later it actually makes sense - Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland's predilection for sickly-psychedelic synths, rugged beats and a sense of occluded urban dread making them a simpatico if still bold addition to Kode9's stable. Have they altered their sound for the bass-heads? Nah, course not, and nor do they need to - for all its lo-fi patina, Hype's music has always been heavy-as-f*ck on the subs. That said, opener 'Rise Up' is a pretty mellow affair, as anyone who heard the version on that uber-limited white label issue earlier this year will already know; in a similar vein to their Sade rip 'The Throning', it's an almost Balearic haze of sighing strings, crisp claps, smacked-out boogie-funk-bass and Copeland's distant, pining vocals. 'Boss Man' is a cheerier but witchier number, synths strafing haughtily across unquantised drum hits; 'Farthing Wood Dub' is as cute and enchanting as its namesake, but still delightfully unstable, like John Barry's Midnight Cowboy soundtrack reimagined by a cracked-out Clams Casino. But it's the closing 'Badmind' that's the masterstoke - sampled American voices delivering stentorian lectures about death, auto-eroticism and, er, Ezra Pound against a shaky gamelan and sub-bass backdrop somewhere between Ryuichi Sakamoto and sino-grime; the lack of context for their ruminations, coupled with droop and sway of the synths, is quite overwhelming in its effect Yep, this EP is just mind-melting, low-end-savvy audio surrealism as only Hype Williams know how; a big, big 12".

The Chain - Lostwithiel EP



Quote
On this tidy 12" The Chain's Dan Foat and Nathan Boddy move away from the euphoric big-room techno of their debut single in favour of a dubstep-flavoured production style clearly informed by the R&S young guns - James Blake, Pariah and Space Dimension Controller - who regularly pass through their South London studio. Named after a wee town in Cornwall (if we've got our geography right), 'Lostwithiel' is an agreeably cheery dancefloor bubbler, with live-sounding snare hits and cheeky arpeggios smuggled over from more innocent times. We're keener on the more eerie, minimal dub, a proper little roller powered along by wump-wumping subs and a trickbag of fancy edits - a really strong post-garage tune. 'Maje' is the ghost of a 90s -style rave monster, all hands-aloft vamps, big drum rolls and zooming builds - a clear nod to R&S's illustrious past and a handy mood-lifting tool for the DJs too.

Darling Farah - EXXY



Quote
Darling Farah's 2nd release for Civil Music is a peach, fusing his Detroit-learnt Techno heritage with more European elements of cleanly contoured and spacious Tech-House and a gritty UK Swing. Leading off, 'EXXY' shuffles an hypnotic, Cassy-like vocal with the sort of swing-Tech drum programming heard on Nick Höppner's wicked 'A Peck And A Pawn' production. Obviously a restless musical spirit, he explores more lopsided, Zomby-esque R&B calculations on 'Younger', and the flighty 2-step of 'Crown', but back in House mode he gives the EPs other highlight on 'Show Me'. The way he fades the vocal in and out, coupled with that plush production and instinctive Detroit vibe makes this kinda unmissable for fans of everyone from Joy Orbison to Mark Kinchen. A big recommendation!

Hackman - Close EP



Quote
*Upfront Exclusive* Dapper drop from Hackman on the Hot Chip-affiliated Greco-Roman label. 'Close' is a crackishly addictive 'floor burner revolving around yearning diva vocal and a glassy pizzicato marimba riff, with a rhythm tuckin' low-waisted bass and bristling 2-step swing. Highly twitchable! 'Your Face Pulling My Hair' is cooler, rolling on Funky-swung drums and plump subs with mesmerizing arrangement, but the surprise is saved for last on the bumpin' mid-tempo departure of 'Satisfy', made for closer hip action.

Radiohead - Little By Little (Caribou RMX) / Lotus Flower (Jacques Greene RMX)



Quote
Caribou and Jacques Greene take tracks from 'The King Of Limbs' for a melancholy dance. On the A-side, man-of-the-moment Caribou follows a brilliant stash of tracks in his Daphni guise with a liquidifed Tech-House groove more akin to last year's acclaimed 'Swims' set. The pace is languid, pushed by supple bass bumps quite compatible with recent Julio Bashmore rhythms, but Dan Snaith's a cannier composer, layering spindly flourishes of harp strings and Thom Yorke's vocal for a sort of baroque set-bob also reminding of that amazing Zomby 7" out last week. Jacques Greene remixes 'Lotus Flower' on the flip, relatively raising the tempo but still rolling with that opulent and laid back vibe, suspending the vocal in a cradle of his signature pitch tilted synthlines with subtly 'floor warming arrangement. Lush.

Bicep - EP1

Bicep drop two straight-up debut anthems for the Midas-touched Throne Of Blood label, backed with a humongous Retro/Grade remix by Serge Santiago and Tom Neville. The Belfast duo's original 'Darwin' works a snatch of Caron Wheeler's "feel the melody" lyrics from 'Back To Life' into a sexed-up analogue bubblebath of mid-tempo '80s House beats and deliciously yearning keys, holding the tension and toying it with supreme skill, while their 'Drippin' cut slinks into handsome Mr Fingers mode with luxury square bass and trippy synthline embellishments. Roping in Retro/Grade on the flip results in an epic rebuild of 'Darwin' teasing it out for pure party ecstasies. This is a weapon in the right hands. TIP!





Bicep - EP2



Quote
It has been a heady few months for Bicep. Since joining Throne of Blood and bursting onto the scene with "Darwin" and "Drippin" off of the critically acclaimed EP1 in late 2010, the boys have been feverishly busy. Having completed remixes for SF disco producer Tal M Klein, TOB labelmates Cosmic Kids, Wolf Music, and Domino Recordings's Blood Orange as well as a forthcoming 12" of edits for the inimitable Mystery Meat label, Bicep are on a roll. Several weeks gigging in NYC led to an acclaimed set on Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space radio program and mounting interest in all things Bicep has led to a slate for summer festival bookings as well. With all this going on, it's a wonder Andy and Matt have had any time to complete their second EP for Throne of Blood, to say nothing of their newly-launched mix series on feelmybicep.com. Yet here it is, EP2 and it is a blinder! Featuring a deeper take on the analog house sound that has become their signature, EP2 represents a step forward for Bicep and provides a brief peek into still more of the classic house music that informs their signature sound. While "Silk" rides a warm bassline reminiscent of classics like Baby Ford's "Ford Trax," it never goes for the jugular. Showing similar restraint, "Purple Sweat" slows the tempo further, providing a mellow slo-mo groove replete with Detroit-inspired atmospheres. On the flip, "Choux" builds an absolute stormer out of a dizzying acid line and some truly inspired piano melodies. Completing the package is a stripped back, dancefloor-oriented take on "Silk" by veteran producer and Buchla synth expert Mark Verbos (DJax Up Beats, Simple Answer, Drop Bass Network, CSM, Memory Boy).

Mmmm so good ...
Killer deep/disco/house EPs incl. excellent Verbos remix!

Fabric 58: Craig Richards presents The Nothing Special



Quote
As fabric's musical director, Craig Richards has not only defined the musical output of the world’s most iconic nightspot, but in doing so has shaped British underground music. Craig has been with fabric since its birth and has revolutionized the concept of a residency. Always allowed complete freedom to invite artists and program them around his own regular weekly performance, his forward-thinking attitude continues to be a guiding light on the musical horizon. fabric 58 allows his versatility to shine through further as he invites his most admired live acts to Saturdays at fabric for an irregular series of obscure affairs featuring the likes of Shackleton, Deadbeat, Pole and more. "After an eleven year residency at fabric I wanted to create a night that required me to play all night around Live acts, setting the scene for each one as the evening progresses. Playing a gentle deep warm up for Moritz Von Oswald, or a twitchy electro set before Dopplereffekt, or a disco set before Emperor Machine, all of which I am capable of because of the variety within my residency." - Craig Richards The Nothing Special reflects the diversity and steadfast nature he is renowned for and echoes his obscure and considered approach to his craft. Starting back in the mid 90s with Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood's Two Lone Swordsmen guise the mix ebbs and flows in a timeless manner taking in rare cuts from Conscious Minds on his own Tyrant label, Housey Doingz from fellow fabric resident Terry Francis’s Wiggle imprint and an unknown cut from early Chicago legend Gemini, whose work is notoriously difficult to license. With most choices unfamiliar, the mix is typical of Craig’s bold approach and resolute manner and imparts untold rewards after close inspection.

There are some amazing tracks in this mix packed full of memories for me personally so i'm absolutely loving this!

Motion Sickness of Time Travel - Luminaries & Synastry



Quote
Rachel Evans left many listeners stunned with her debut album 'Seeping Through The Veil Of The Unconscious', released on tape and vinyl to pretty much universal acclaim at the end of last year. Her follow-up proper, 'Luminaries & Synastry' is a divine, subtly dizzying descent from the heights of that album, catching Rachel cocooned in a feather-like freefall to more pastoral climes without ever actually touching down to solid ground. The simplicity of instinctively layered, ethereal vocals and seemingly infinite arpeggios make for a mesmerising take on pop music, where the atmospheric composition contains far more nitrous oxide in a lower pressure system, and duly everyone floats about dazed in a state of post-rave/orgasmic bliss. This suspended sensation is unmistakable on opener 'Luminaries', those whispered vocals condensing around beads of glinting machine rhythms and convective synth swirls, precipitating the mood of things to come. Following this, 'Synastry' provides a poignant moment of clarity where you can almost make out whole phrases through the pillow of gaseous drones, slowing the systolic rate for the twilight glide of 'Late Day Sun Silhouettes' and the lambent organ glow of 'Ascendant' or 'Athame'. Entering the kosmische vortex of 'Day Glow' and ''Moving Backward Through The Constellations' the mood turns less blissed and more viscerally tactile, where creeping arpeggios envelope Rachel's haloed vocal in a tangle of bittersweet dissonance, before the gaseous glades of 'Eight Nineteen' opens out, eyelids fluttering, to the scenery of 'The Walls Were Dripping With Stars'. The LP features artwork by Hobo Cult's Frank Ouelette, mastering by Brad Rose and a cut by D&M, the first pressing of the last album sold out in less than a week so check in early. Sublime.

Portable - This Life Of Illusion / Find Me / Lets Go



Quote
Two tracks of attention grabbing House from Portable aka Bodycode! While his output over the last few years has been meagre to say the least, this notorious producer has outdone himself with the lushly sensuous 'Find Me', an exceptional piece of deepest House soul laden with warmest synth washes, pointed keys and a heavyweight yet tactile bass throb made for the best sound system you can lay your hands. On the flip, 'Find Me' is built with different intentions, laying positive self-help vocals over a prime jackers rhythm with a deep, sprawling, and deadly square bass line. Did you expect anything less? A prime pick for the modern House lovers.

Stereociti - Kawasaki




Quote
When in 2005 the first sounds of Mojuba were introduced to the world, people quickly realized that there is something very special going on different to the usual House or Techno business … it was something more emotional, more personal, somewhat more deeply rooted! Stereociti aka Ken Sumitani is truly one of Japans finest when it comes to uncompromising underground dance music with heart & soul, whether it is the realm of deep House music or the darker moods of Detroit Techno. You can actually feel that his roots go far back into the early days of electronic club music but never lose sight of the history of Soul, Funk or Dub. His debut Kawasaki, named after his hometown, is delivering the quintessence of what is considered as the Mojuba sound. Being capable of such a musical sense, it was no wonder that the other Mojuba family members Nick Solé, Sven Weisemann and Oracy welcomed Stereociti very warm. So if you are new to the world of Mojuba, please tune in and enjoy the journey! Kawasaki is a timeless piece of music, equipped with everything you need for an outstanding album experience. It will take you by the hand from the very first moments and will be there for you second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day until you let it go!

Here are three albums by Seaworthy, originally posted on me blag

Quote from: hollowpress.blogspot.com

First up is "Codes Adrift." Released in an edition of 100 CD-Rs, placed in hand made envelopes, and sealed with wax by the now tragically defunct Sound&Fury records, "Codes Adrift" is two untitled tracks sprawling out over just under half an hour. The two pieces could almost be one, a quietly pulsing and sublimely peaceful journey comprised entirely of looped and layered guitar tone and feedback. The sensation of listening to this record is of one sitting on a small boat in the middle of an absolutely endless sea but being completely at peace with this fact. A wistfully lulling siren call shifts and lows, an almost organ-like thrum, while Webb picks and plucks his guitar quietly around this softly swirling ebb and flow. Although some new elements creep into the track 2 - bits of static and softly glitchy pulses rattle and whisper, lonely and nostalgic; the volume and intensity picks up - the sonic journey "Codes Adrift" takes listeners on is essentially without interruption. The two pieces feed into one another and, like the tides they seem to draw inspiration from, could pulse inward and outward forever. It's a powerful yet delicate piece of music, decidedly minimal but incredibly deep.
Code: [Select]
http://www.M/F.com/?1m74hyky5lgilt6


Next there's "1897," an album recorded entirely in an old ammunition depot from the titular year. Once again Webb's guitar playing is at the fore here although meditative electronic thrum and lovely field recordings of wind, birds, rain, and running water are woven throughout, creating a fully realized sonic world, one that drifts through haunted corners of dusty attics and over rainswept meadows, mournful and brimming with melancholy. One of the most impressive parts of this album is the timbre of Webb's guitar, at times reminiscent of Loren Connors, which picks up a huge amount of natural reverb from the physical space in which the album was recorded. But some tracks are far more electronic heavy than others, eschewing traditional guitar sounds altogether. Sparse, glowering drone pieces crop up amongst the rippling guitar and delicate sigh of wind and rain through leaves. Stark and chilly, this isn't happy listening but it's perhaps Webb's best to date.
Code: [Select]
http://www.M/F.com/?73w697pmm2szxx7


Finally there's "Map in Hand," a rather different album from the last couple but still definitely part of the Seaworthy oeuvre. "Map in Hand" is more hopeful, a warmer and overall more involved production. Electronics play a bigger role, the guitar is less prevalent, at least in it's traditional state. While many songs on "1897" are just Webb improvising on guitar with little to no significant processing, "Map in Hand" is more concerned with creating glowing, densely layered soundscapes. Rather than stark and mournful, these are more transportive, crackling with analog buzz and thrumming with strange energy. The result is soft and languid and beautiful. It's not a very easy album and will bore some but for those with the patience it's wonderful and rewarding, a perfect soundtrack to a late night summer drive through the country, surrounded by dark fields but warm and secure and speeding into the unknown.

So my choir sang another concert on Sunday.  Not our typical churchy stuff; we found it hard to find a title that made sense, so I've invented another, but the theme was basically folksong.  Try it, you might enjoy some of it!

Cherwell Singers - Aspects of Folksong, or something
Code: [Select]
http://www.M/F.com/?sqnz9vbgmbjgona
We start in Bavaria; Elgar went on holiday there in the 1890s, and his wife Alice wrote some poems in imitation of Bavarian folksongs which he set to considerably better music.  We omitted the two whose words we couldn't bear to sing!  Then naturally, to England, with arrangements of Early one morning  and Blow the wind southerly, and a piano piece by Grainger evocative of Morris dancing.

Continuing the westward movement - Ireland gave us The Kerry Dance  (composed at a time that such customs were forbidden by the English), the Londonderry Air  (which never existed until a collector wrote down a completely different tune incorrectly!), and The Minstrel Boy  (which got popular in the US when Irish immigrants sang it during the civil war).  Now we've reached America, we go on to Shenandoah, and a group of Old American Songs  set by Copland, then a bit jazzy with songs by Jerome Kern and Cole Porter.

Finally, home to a short finale from a show by Rutter (the Wind in the Willows).  There were some folksong settings for piano by Grieg as well, but they didn't fit the scheme I just described.  Program with full notes in the file.

Doshy - Suspiria



Quote
Doshy drops a SynCrunk banger for Rwina! 'Suspiria' alloys cracking 808 rolls to a sample from the original goblin theme to Dario Argento's titular flick, while 'Milky Way' runs out on some wicked Rustie tip and 'Redworm' squashes a fat acid bass under wonky HipHop drum programming.

Eprom - Pipe Dream



Quote
Eprom fuses w*onky HipOp and Dubstep 'tronics for his electrified 1st drop of 2011. Some crafty moves abound inside, from the uranium-enriched synthlines and lop-sided lean of 'Pipe Dreams' on the A-side to an unconventional arrangement of warped, double-timed bass bursts and subsiding hiphop on 'Chromium Decay', or the detuned bop of 'The Symbiote', especially for those who like their electronics to taste like battery acid and their beats to buckle knees.

Swindle - Playground



Quote
Rwina follow a string of rude grime platters from Terror Danjah, SRC and Starkey with four ultra-funked-up instrumentals from the hotly tipped Swindle. Landing just ahead of his massive 'Mood Swings' EP for Butterz, he coems with typically lurid street funk romp on 'Playground' for the Joker fans, while the flipside contains his riffin' remix of SRC's 'Goin' Out' and the hghlight of the EP, a rugged but fruity jam named 'Who's Quicker', a must for the DJs!

Rachet - Hyper Dimention



Quote
New producer Rachet on the Rwina label, definitely deserves some more attention.Don't be misled by the wrong spelling of Dimention, this release is positively on point with some heavy
dancefloor smashers in the typically forward-thinking Rwina fashion. Lead track "Hyper Dimention" combines R&B and dubstep to a result for a track that explores and spans numerous strains of music that haven't even been invented yet. The vicious "Electrical Bass-Sweep" pits hard-hitting drums against a fierce, dark bassline and a ravey but dripping bleepy melody. Closing the EP, 'Sega Megadrive' is a bubbling beast that imports a dramatic feeling to home-listeners but an energetic one to dancers, thoughtful peak time stuff in this one!

Terror Danjah - Reinforced



Quote
Terror Danjah & D.O.K serve three bangers for Amsterdam's Rwina records. It's been a busy year for terror Danjah but thankfully his quality levels haven't suffered, evidenced in the epic build of 'Reinforced' and its array of mesmerizing synth drops. 'Peanut Punch' on the flip links with D.O.K for a hard skanking riddim layered with bling-shiny synths and twinkling melodies, while the indomitable 'Stomp Test' goes on a heads down 4/4 vibe with a flood of P-Funk riffage for the dance. Wicked and bad.

Taz buckfaster - Half Man Half Trout / 20 Red



Quote
Neon coloured party-starting dubstep from Glasgow's Taz Buckfaster. 'Half Man Half Trout' really cuts loose with the stonk-on boogie riffage, unleashing a torrent of finger flailing keywork attached to hard dubstep rhythms, while '20 Red' on the flip cools out a little (but not much) with Glasgow Gangsta synths and a rolling halfstep chassis. For fans of Slugabed, Borgore, Bar 9, or Raffertie.

Eprom - Humanoid



Quote
Off the back of his Warp release Eprom gives three slick dubstep ravers for Rwina. 'Humankind' is built for peak-time wonk-off effect with daft samples and a sea-sick lead synthline threatening to derail and lick off your eyebrows. With 'The Slaughter' he lurches with an advanced crunk motion, organised with a similar spatial detailing to James Blake, only with a harder intent. 'Lick Out' finishes the 12" by melting the whole thing into a puddle of dripping percussion and fluid synthlines mixing with the texture of oils and cornflower syrup. Very crafty stuff for fans of Eskmo, James Blake or 16Bit.

Various  - Laid Compilation



Quote
When Dial launched Laid back in 2008, we couldn't quite see how it was going to distinguish itself from its parent label. But over the last three years it has: whereas Dial is about a very European, at times almost gothic romanticism, Laid offers a more grooving deep house sound with an explicit debt to the US - the presence of Michigan super-hero Rick Wade on the roster is telling. Yep, slick, sensuous deep house doesn't come much better than Laid product, and this compilation takes on a journey through the highlights in the catalogue to date. Lowtec's 'Use Me' sets the tone, all dreamy synth progressions, discreetly jazzy keys, squelched chords and pucked 4/4 rhythm. 'Precious Hall' is the kind of mellow midnight jam that Lawrence can make in his sleep, and yet it's still vastly more stylish and engaging than anything his legion imitators can muster, while in 'Blame' John Roberts offloads the kind of deceptively simple, funked-up club cruiser that made his Glass Eights LP so essential. Jamal Moss-approved Macello Napoletano lays down the gospel with 'Electronic Atmosphere', smoked-out keys riding rough-hewn drums, but the biggest killers come from Kassem Mosse and Black Jazz Consortium. BJC's 'Applied Vibes' ain't nothing new, sure, but it's a track that's steeped in secret knowledge and when the creeping melody is stripped away to reveal the square-jawed bassline beneath it, we challenge you not to lose your sh*t. Mosse's 'Untitled' is a 10-minute epic and every bit as electrifying as we've come to expect from one of contemporary dance music's most consistent and inspired producers. The groove is just so sticky and irresistible, charging forward on a rolling, tom-heavy rhythm inspired by the Chicago masters but invested with a rugged bass-thump that tells you why Mosse is so revered by the likes of Joy O and Instra:mental, and a melodic architecture as dizzingly psychedelic as it is beguilingly pretty. With further contributions from Rick Wade, Rndm, Smallpeople and Christopher Rau, Laid Compilation is a really, really strong set.

Definitely one of the best label compilation of the year so far!

Moomin - Spare Time



Quote
Moomin made his debut on one of last year’s finest records, collaborating with Oskar Offermann on Hardmood/Joe McDaddy for the Aim label. For Spare Time, his first solo effort, he returns to Aim with two deep, low-key originals that are paired with a churning, spaced-out edit by Marvin Dash. Moomin works with a limited palette, exhausting his tracks’ elements via repetition. This is not a hugely unique characteristic, but his understanding of space is noteworthy. That repetition occurs in a palpable void rather than as tense loops, and so his closest analogues may be Christopher Rau or Omar-S in deep mode. “Watermelon” is lazing, summertime material, stripped down to a Chicagoan rhythm and a faintly twinkling synth pattern. Midway through, the bass line evolves into a charming but weighty motif, clearly influenced by classic soul records. The similarly unhurried “Morning Mist” is largely based around a recurring chords-and-subs arrangement. Its rhythm is a gently old-school and surefooted undercurrent to the track’s dominant synthesizer cushion. Finally, Marvin Dash turns in a stunner of an edit, somehow finding an excess of dark trippiness in “Watermelon,” though some of its elements are not present in the original. He slows the tempo, moving taut, crackling atmospherics around minute bits of vocal, subtly altering the arrangement along the way. Think of the first two tracks on Actress’s Splazsh or a housier rendition of Andy Stott’s Passed Me By and you’re not far off. The heady, astral result makes Spare Time a considerably more valuable package, catering to the home listener and DJ alike.

PEOPLE HAVE SPENT YEARS HUNTING A COPY DOWN - HERE IT IS FINALLY AVAILABLE AGAIN ON THIS LIMITED MOJUBA PRESSING* The infallible Mojuba records celebrate their 10th release this week with a reissue of a highly sought after house muzic gem from Bernard Badie. 'Time reveals' was originally released in 1994 on Chicago's aptly named Night Club Records and Time reveals found it's way into the boxes of all the best house DJs at the time, and was probably best known for it's inclusion on DJ Hell's X-Mix-5 set.

James Blake - Order / Pan



Quote
**James Blake returns to the label that helped make his name with two dark, killer new productions**. Given the hype surrounding his debut album, you could be forgiven for forgetting what a uniquely talented proposition James Blake is, and how powerful his work can be when aimed at the 'floor of DMZ rather than the housewives of Middle England. This 12" is just superb, bringing two instrumental, back-to-first-principals but still hugely inventive dubstep reductions with real balls to them 'Order' is a bruising, purist minimal half-stepper, off-kilter 808 hits nudging it forward and no doubt straight into the box of Mala and anyone else who still remembers how devastating a producer Blake can be. It's 'Pan', though, that's the real prize here: stalking, sub-heavy business for the the paranoiacs and occultists, tortured vocal textures that wouldn't sound out of place on a Raime or Haxan Cloak record peeling off a ruthlessly stripped groove that's reminiscent of early Shackleton and Mystikz productions but nonetheless possessed of its own unique presence.

No vocals just bass/beats  :-D

Clouds - Lot Of Calls From No One Part2 / Rest Of The Cycle



Quote
Clouds are the most consistently intriguing characters on the estimable Deep Medi roster. Their first 12" for the label in two years is split between smudged and dusty midnight jazz styles and more swinging, but melancholy electronica. 'Lots Of Calls From No One Pt. 2' hits the jazz mark with wisps of sampled instrumentation aquatically tumbled with blunted, Fly Lo-style bass and mournfully screwed beats, proper end-of-the-bar, end-of-the-night business. Flip over for 'Rest Of The Cycle', with flickering, insectoid 2-step scuttles embedded against phat, warm analogue subs and tender chords that could have come from a Fonal release, a fact aided by the deliciously fuzzy tape recording. Full colour sleeve, choice.

Jam City - Waterworx EP



Quote
**Seriously tasty new EP on Night Slugs from the boy wonder, Jam City.** The clue to the sound of opening bomb 'Aqua Box' is in the title: imagine a pumping Chicago box jam torpedoed down to the ocean floor and souped up with some South London subs and you're in business. 'Countess' is the kind of grime-influenced house at which JC so excels; militant, broken drum syncopations buttressing spiky, stop-start electro arpeggios to bone-crushing effect. 'Island' has been knocking around on dubplate for the best part of two years; it's lost none of its lustre in the interim, butch 808 drums jolting and jabbing around airy, melancholy synth sounds - an out-and-out masterpiece, just killer. 'Barely A Trak' takes the tried and tested formula of combining UKF syncopations and bending Moomin synths, but caresses it into something properly unique with the help of some nifty edits and an 'ardkore-style vocal loop. 'Waterfalls' gestures towards Chicago again, with its Virgo-esque tom hits and starlit synths, but breaks down into something altogether more mutant and LDN-flavoured. Banging, breathlessly imaginative stuff from start to finish.

Web release. with 5 tracks!

Nguzunguzu - Timesup EP



Quote
Big release from Kingdom's new American wing of Night Slugs, the Fade To Mind imprint. Nguzunguzu make the first incision with three lean and agile, synth-drippin' bangers, backed by nexx-level Kingdom and Total Freedom remixes. Hailing from LA, Nguzunguzu have built a very solid reputation over the last 12 months or so with remixes for Lazer Sword and Rainbow Arabia, plus nuff spins from players like Bok Bok and Kingdom. Their style here is efficient and shark-eyed, dippin' between the deceptively light and skippy 'Timesup' to the whirlpool synthlines and hydraulic sub pressure of 'Water Bass Power' and the abstract mystery of 'Wake Sleep'. Remixing, Kingdom adds a signature lick of R&B gloss and sunken subs, whilst the awesome Total Freedom version almost reminds of Raime's approach to ultra-sparse rhythm architecture. Really feeling this.

The title track and opener is prime steppers' techno, accented with blissed-out vocal blurts, sparkling synth arpeggios and underscored with a nicely oily bassline: think 2562 with a feminine touch. ‘Night Bird’ ups the level of vocal manipulation, compressing breathy syllables into airtight computer funk, all pushed along by an unrelenting snare syncopation, whooshing FX and moody, morning-after keys. 'Bit Pony' teams a spry half-step beat with nuff squelches and gurgles, coming over like Anthony Manning if he'd hit his stride in Croydon circa 2004, and 'You Are My Height' aspires to the art-trance pomp of an Apparat or Pantha Du Prince, but with a refreshing amount of dirt under its fingernails. Well-practised party-smasher Unknown To The Unknown (Hot City) impresses with a remix of 'Night Bird', pitching down the vocals into sub-low malevolence, and re-ordering the groove into a B-more and 'ardkore-infected house splacker - well good!

Really enjoying these to listen to. Dope ep!

Seiji - Seiji 4



Quote
Seiji stays at the forefront of the Funky sound with vol.4 of his vital series. 'No Other' keeps the vibe bubbing with layered marimbas and simmering synthlines riding shuffled drums for the shifty gallop. 'Easy' rolls with a Deep House tint, packing infectious square bass line under swinging drums with a string hint of mid-'90s House vibes. Fans of Slackk and Joy Orbison need to check these

Great to hear some new Seiji material.

Erra - Stax / Jookup



Quote
Erra follows up his well-received 'Cake' drop on L2S with two kinetic tropical bangs for Berkane Sol. The label's 20th release opens with balmy chords before heat-seeking stabs fuse with restless Garage drums to intense, jackin' effect. Flipside 'Jookup' sounds like a primal DVA production, rolling to descending drum cadences and warped garage bass with skittering FX and nutty but cute vocal infections. Slightly bonkers, but good fun.

Lovely, funky uptempo tracks. Cool release again!

Synkro - Look At Yourself / Girl / It's



Quote
Indigo's Mindset label reappears after a lengthy hiatus with three sophisticated and minimalist Synkro productions. With nods to the likes of James Blake and Mount Kimbie, Synkro pares back his sound to a considered blend of fractured R&B vocals, slinkily skeletal rhythms and deliciously spacious atmospheres. From the effervescent tenderness of 'Look At Yourself', through the woozy soul of 'Girl' and the deftly applied Aaliyah samples on 'It's', this is a refined and very welcome return from the Manchester-based imprint.

Photek - Closer (Pinch Mix)



Quote
Eagerly awaited Tectonic 12" from the resurgent Photek! When old legends fall off the map for a few years and then return, eager to be down with the kids, it can be a bit of nightmare, but Photek - always an unusually multi-faceted producer - has really handled his own rearrival with aplomb, and that he now finds himself releasing on Tectonic is testament to the poise and power of his present-day work. 'Closer' is a strong brew, a mid-paced stepper with d'n'b accents, but firmly anchored in dubstep 2.0; his ninja-like studio nous is on proud display, in the crisply edited drums, viscous vocal snippets and absolutely devastating, Reese-ish sub line reminiscent of the classic 'Mine To Give'. What's more, and despite its abundant grit, the strength of the melody and confidence of the composition make this the arguably the most poppy/accessible thing Tectonic have ever released this side of Pursuit Grooves! But check the flip for an even more relevatory offering: Pinch discards his usual halfstep framework for his remix, and instead creates an industrial-strength garage roller with crushing darkside bass straight outta the jungle, for us easily the best thing he's done since 'Croydon House'.

Xxxy - You Gotta Do You



Quote
Steppin' away from his House and Garage sounds on Pollen, Infrasonics and Ten Thousand Yen, XXXY tucks into 'ardcore rollidge mode. 'You Gotta Do You' sounds kinda like Andy Stott doing a Swamp 81 sound; all crushed 808 spluttering hardcore drums over squashed subs inna 2011 style. 'Open Your Eyes' is a full-on Jungle assault though, splicing amen breaks into a nervously up-for-it mangled-dubstep rhythm.

Various - Jess & Crabbe present Bazzerk: African Digital Dance



Quote
KILLER compilation of up-to-the-time Kuduro from a Bass diaspora of Angolan, Portuguese, French and South American artists. 'Bazzerk' was compiled by two French DJ/Producers, Jess & Crabbe after missions to Angola and further afield to dig out the very best bits you'll find here. For our money it's one of the best collections of this sound that we've encountered. Most of the tracks are widely compatible with the whole UKF, Post-Dubstep and Bubblin sound, and in many instances more colourful, potent and immediately danceable. To get started we'd point you towards the arcing trance riffs and whistling melody of DJ Ketchup's 'Um Ano de Namoro', the darker Electro bounce of Cabo Snoop's Kwaito-compatible 'Windek', and to Captain Bubbles' strafing 'Nerima Funk', the floatin' old-skool 'ardcore vibes of DJ Rick & DJ Wilson's 'Na Paz', DJ PM's rampant 'O Último Grito', or the intricacies of Diamond Bass' 'Stereotype'. Clear some room in front of the speakers... Recommended!

Clouds - Lot Of Calls From No One Part2 / Rest Of The Cycle



Quote
Clouds are the most consistently intriguing characters on the estimable Deep Medi roster. Their first 12" for the label in two years is split between smudged and dusty midnight jazz styles and more swinging, but melancholy electronica. 'Lots Of Calls From No One Pt. 2' hits the jazz mark with wisps of sampled instrumentation aquatically tumbled with blunted, Fly Lo-style bass and mournfully screwed beats, proper end-of-the-bar, end-of-the-night business. Flip over for 'Rest Of The Cycle', with flickering, insectoid 2-step scuttles embedded against phat, warm analogue subs and tender chords that could have come from a Fonal release, a fact aided by the deliciously fuzzy tape recording. Full colour sleeve, choice.

Smooth atmospheric electronica/dubstep hybrids

New Gold-Bears album. Theyre on slumberland, so you know theyve gotta be good.

GOLD-BEARS - Are You Falling In Love

" title="Hosted by imgur.com

Quote
Gold-Bears, former Plastic Mastery frontman Jeremy Underwood's new band, are not a million miles away from what he used to do with his previous group -- maybe a little noisier and more intense. Are You Falling in Love? is very wordy, very melodic, and fairly jumps out the speakers and into your heart. Underwood tears through the words like he’s rushing to get them out before he collapses, telling tales of record store love affairs, twisted nostalgia, post-sex contemplation of life’s great mysteries, and general unease and desperation. His thin voice cuts through the busy, overdriven, and often thrilling mix of fuzzy guitars and massed voices like a sob, conveying all kinds of passion and pain without going overboard. It’s a little like a bargain-basement version of Arcade Fire or a less convoluted Neutral Milk Hotel; the album has the same kind of drama and heightened sense of emotion and occasion those bands worked so hard to achieve. It feels like there is definitely something important at stake for Underwood and the band, there is great commitment and dedication in the way they sing and play. Unlike the aforementioned bands, though, the small-scale sound of the record and Underwood’s more precise lyrical approach make the album easier to embrace on a personal level. In other words, there’s no chance the band will be playing stadiums or inspiring breathless cult followings anytime soon, and that’s OK. It’s enough that Are You Falling in Love? is the kind of record you can play when you’re feeling kinda messed up/mixed up and it might make you feel better, like you aren’t alone. And the album contains a bunch of songs like "Record Store," "All Those Years," and "Totally Called It" that will sound great blasting out of a radio on a lazy summer day. Emotion-wracked, ultra-melodic, and filled with jams (both fast and slow), this is an impressive debut from a band that could easily end up reaching some seriously lofty heights.

'Pandora's Box' is an addendum to last years 'Crystal Republic', also out on the fine Hour House Is Your Rush label. It's *not* his debut album, but an eight track collection of wide-ranging House styles tied up with Tevo's trademark melodic touch and crisp drum programming. Highlights would be the Italo-tweaked 'Spend Some Time', the luscious 'Intersection' and his romantic jazz note 'Autumn Spell (Top Shelf September Mix)'. Top quality.

Lovely oldschool vibes with some nice melodic touches.

Rules:

The first rule of this thread is you do not mention MF.  I am doing this because we are currently the first hit for the full version of "MF thread" on Google, so y'know, that's bad n' shit.

No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.

Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.

Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to MF, in multiple parts if the album is over 200mb. The reason for this is that we know MF is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.

Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.

Also, please do NOT request albums. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.

Radiohead - Good Morning Mr Magpie (Nathan Fake RMX) / Bloom (Harmonic 313 RMX) / Bloom (Mark Pritchard RMX)



Quote
Next up from Radiohead's Tickertape label: two highly accomplished Nathan Fake and Mark Pritchard reworks of tracks from 'The King Of Limbs'. A-side we catch Nathan Fake on a swinging revision of 'Morning Mr Magpie', transposing vocal elements of the original into a feathered 2-step framework buoyed by rich subbass amidst a slow swirling cloud of tingling, slightly dissonant harmonics. B-side you're in for a treat with not one, but two Mark Pritchard remixes of 'Bloom'. Working as Harmonic 313, we're privy to a staggering mesh of fluid slowfast rhythms fluctuating somewhere between Juke and Dubstep, while epic synth washes arc overhead and Thom is turned into a chorus of alien cadence. It's honestly jaw-dropping stuff, and almost a million miles from the urgent version under his own name, taking the same track in the opposite direction down a one-way tunnel of Industrial Krautrock electronics closer to Factory Floor or Chris Carter.

Pigon - Sunrise Industry ( Efdemin/Rndm)



Quote
Oliver Kargl (Rndm) and Philip Sollmann (Efdemin) regroup as Pigon on four deeply sensuous and experimental Tech-House/Electronic cuts. With 'Painting The Tape' they summon a slinky, minimal shift from effortlessly grooving bass pressure and lilting drum cadence coated with a very healthy amount of tape crackle. On the other hand, 'Sunrise Industry' is more driving and hypnotic, made for the 6am connoisseurs. The two are sandwiched by the more esoteric inclinations of the beatless, twinkling 'Dirty Float' and the charming rhythm trip of 'Flip Over Pill', both recalling the works of NSI.

Miles - Facets



Quote
*30 minute EP of dismantled Techno, House and squashed electronics from Miles, one half of Demdike Stare* Miles is one half of Demdike Stare and Pendle Coven and has recorded in the past under the aliases Millie and MLZ. After almost 15 years writing music, this is the first release Miles is putting out under his own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather, in its sequencing. 'Facets' brings together different ends of his production style, unifying elements of the House and Techno he’s most commonly released as MLZ together with the more broken production signatures usually reserved for Millie and the darkened tribalism of Demdike Stare. “Flawed” opens the set with a Linn loop from the archives, stretched and slowed down with an intoxicated aesthetic that’s somewhere between House and Dub, before “Lustre” re-configures source material originally keyed in by labelmate Andy Stott with a nice line in squashed percussion. ‘Primer’ on the flip extends from a Demdike Stare outtake and veers off into an analogue drum machine ruckus, before “On The fly” ends the set with a recording made straight to mixing desk from an array of mis-wired and malfunctioning drum boxes, contact microphones and samplers, over at his studio The Mill earlier this year.

How To Dress Well - Just Once EP



Quote
The highly anticipated 'Just Once EP' is a suite of orchestral reworkings of tracks from the How To Dress Well album, which was released to rapturous acclaim on Tri Angle earlier this year. Conceived as a memorial EP dedicated to his departed friend, Ryan Douglas Hutchon, Tom Krell has rescored three album tracks and one new song 'Suicide Dream 3' with San Francisco's Yours Truly, replacing his gorgeous falsetto from behind the grainy film of murk which covered his album to float against a tenderly plush backdrop of strings and keys. If you're familiar with the album, it may come as a slight shock to hear Tom's vocals executed with such clarity, but the effect soon dissipates and you're left with a heart-wrenching collection of orchestral R&B songs, the plaintive piano accompaniment on 'Suicide Dream 2' being particularly poignant.

Recloose - Saturday Night Manifesto



Quote
Sophisticated Hi-Tech House music from Recloose. With the refresh of recent reissue for comparison, Recloose is right up-to-the-time with his chops on these three tracks. On the A-side's 'Electric Sunshine' the triplet drums, guitar licks and woozy, sun-baked synths are rendered with an incredible clarity and spaciousness, but this guy has the rare quality of stunning musicianship to add to his production values. On a more upbeat tip, 'Parquet' shakes out a dynamically jazzy and Teched-out House killer, and flipside 'Tecumseh' rides the groove Detroit style, like a dirtier, meaner Shake. Deadly wares.

first new output in 3 years. highly recommended!!

Keith Fullerton Whitman / Alien Radio  - Split



Quote
Fantastic split album from Dekorder presenting two contrasting works showcasing the vast possibilities of Don Buchla's famous Modular Electronic Music System (originally invented for use by the likes of Morton Subotnick, Ramon Sender, Terry Riley et al at the San Francisco Tape Music Centre). Keith Fullerton Whitman is a noted master of this system: his staggering 'Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness' put it to mind-bending use last year on Pan Records - topping many end-of-year charts in the process, including our own. His side '101105' was recorded live at the semi-monthly "The Bunker" parties in Brooklyn last year opening up for Detroit's Ectomorph and weaves a delirious sequence of sawtooth arpeggios with a masterfully symphonic touch. The piece is actually spliced from various edits of his performance but plays uninterrupted for a powerfully psychedelic experience. It's surely no wonder that he's now been commissioned a residency at GRM studios to work on a piece for Francois Bayle's original 80-channel acousmonium. By comparison, Ulf Schütte or Alien Radio's side is practically pop, presenting five really excellent shorter compositions anchored by clear, pulsing rhythms reminding of Ursula Bogner's frothy rhythms, the studio experiments of Conny Plank or the functional aesthetics of Delia Derbyshire's Radiophonic outings. You may have previously encountered his music as part of Datashock or Phantom Horse, or most memorably on that Kraak 7" with Ducktails and Kohn. You simply don't come across these sounds articulated with such clarity and diction very often, it really is an an unmissable release.

Autre Ne Veut - Body EP



Quote
You either loved or hated Autre Ne Veut's electrifying 2010 album for Olde English Spelling Bee, and we loved it - as we made abundantly clear at the time. Since its release, ANV has been reasonably quiet, most recently seen turning up on Mordant Music's Variables II 12"; but he's been putting his time to good use it seems, crafting this killer four-track EP for Hippos In Tanks. 'Sweetheart' finds our man warbling and whining in that unmistakable multi-tracked falsetto of his, against a rivetingly three-dimensional sound-scape of moody strings and neatly dubbed drums; it's certainly the most pensive thing we've ever heard from him, and a well-chosen opener. If there was any justice in the world, 'Not The One' would be headed for the upper echelons of the Top 40; if our ears aren't mistaken, ANV here has a female vocal counterpart, and the resulting harmonies are layered to the point of abstraction, all across a darkly rousing, almost fanfare-like melody down below - this is truly pop music that doesn't sound like ANYTHING else out there right now. For the aptly named 'Just Return' and ‘Your Clothes' we're back to the let-it-all-hang-out exuberance of the album, all imploring, high-school-high melody and rocket-fuelled, white-boy synth-funk, like an amphetamine-fuelled smash-up between Huey Lewis, ABC, Trevor Horn and, er, MMM. Man, this stuff is hard to describe. Just let it be known that Autre Ne Veut has gone and blown us away all over again.

Paavoharju - Ikkunat näkevät



Quote
One of Finland's most precious musical exports, Paavoharju, have been far too quiet of late, so Fonal have rounded up seven tracks including exclusive and alternate versions from their two peerless albums. Covering cherished older ground, you'll find a slightly abbreviated mix of the sparkling, Kylie-esque 'Kevätrumpu' and the swelling folk rock of 'Aamuauringon Tuntuinen', but fans will probably be almost over-familiar with those by now, as lush as they are. The new material is worth the wait, sashaying from ghostly coastal ambience in 'Tulilehtisade', through deliciously frothy piano and mossy atmospheres of 'Tuonen Marja' and the crackling embers of 'Mista Hän Oli Tullut', sounding uncannily like a spiked Clams Casino cut. Highly recommended.

Theophilus London - Timez Are Weird These Days (2011)



Theophilus London is an "alternative rap" artist from Brooklyn, NY whose genre-bending approach draws from a range of styles...soul-pop to post-punk to electro to some smoothe R&B. This dude credits Michael Jackson, Prince as well as the Smiths as some of his influences. If you dig a cheesier TV on the Radio, Chromeo, MJ, and Cee-Lo Green, then I think you'll be diggin Mr. London's major lable debut. I'll be honest, the album's pretty darn good. Enjoy!

DMX Krew - Sound Of The Street



Quote
Sound of the Streets was Ed DMX's seminal debut album on Rephlex Records. The record hinted at what was to come with its mix of instrumental electro, synthpop and techno made on vintage equipment. Harking back to the robotic sound of the 80s, this album sounds remarkably fresh in a climate where electro and boogie has seen a much-welcome revival in recent times. Of course, the brilliant analogue production techniques help too...

re-release of the first album + a few previously unreleased remixes! gets better with every listen :) cosmic electro/pop for the analogue generation.. (digital release)

Andy Stott - Passed Me By



Quote
Emerging from a 12 month hiatus, Andy Stott enters a compelling new phase of evolution on 'Passed Me By'. Besides marking his most substantial output since debut album 'Merciless', these seven tracks signify a renewed, yet introverted vitality to his sound, inverting the energy of his Juke and Technoid hardcore excursions into something more brooding and subtly visceral. They're strident and sensual yet stoically retentive, folding in a wider palette of influences from Kassem Mosse to Arthur Russell, to Actress and James Ferraro, but ironically sounding more Andy than ever. Stepping into this abyssal sound on 'New Ground' we're dominated by bone crushing bass weight, pinned under relentless waves of subbass whilst shards of hypnagogic exhalations struggle for air in his autoerotic pressure system. That slow, vice-turning intensity is breathlessly transferred to the aquatic swing jack of 'North To South', before the gasping Linn drums and glazed boogie licks of 'Intermittent' offer halfway resolution. Their pent up tension is released in 'Dark Details', suggesting a lonely silhouette left in the warehouse after the crowd has gone, dancing like the Moving Shadow logo come to life before the screwed zombie swagger of 'Execution' and that staggering title track slowly shuts down your system with shark-eyed intent. Simply put, if you've been hypnotised by the music of Kowton, Kassem Mosse, Actress or NWAQ in recent years, this record is just essential.

this album is playing a lot on my ipod for a few weeks now. super dark & hypnotic midtempo techno - a mindfuck!

achine-tooled Dubstep mysteries from Deep Medi, delivering the 2nd Old Apparatus session.

The A-side 'Zebulon' strikes a fine equilibrium between plunging, hollowed subs, shattering aerial snares and bewitching folk vocal, ultimately sounding like an updated Vex'd line-stepping with Clouds at the village hop, circa 2020. Effectively, the flip is an augmented version of the B-side from the 1st Old Apparatus, meshing a vocal from Mowgli with expanded synthlines to dramatic, gripping standards. Ace artwork too, as per. Don't sleep!

Long-time watcher, first-time poster says Hi All with this
 


Wugazi - 13 Chambers

Quote
Last.fm users put it pretty well and neatly: "Straight outta Minneapolis, Wugazi brilliantly combines D.C. legends
Fugazi with iconic hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. It is a labor of love by Cecil Otter & Swiss Andy. A year’s worth of
cutting up every imaginable Fugazi record and trying out every Wu-Tang acapella they could get their hands on, resulted
in Wugazi: 13 Chambers (a must listen for anyone who even looked at a skateboard in the 90’s)."

And now for something completely different

As a Mormon-by-birth, this is absolutely goddamn hilarious. I'm not sure outsiders to the culture could totally appreciate the humor, though.

Joy O - Sicko Cell / Knock Knock



Quote
The eagle has landed. Swamp 81 finally unleash this year's most sought-after record. Who's behind it? Your guess is as good as ours! They've done well to keep tight-lipped for so long, but it's simply of no real issue, unless you're the nerdiest of nerds or live on a message board. On the A-side we have the cold, crowd-manipulating potency of that title track, replete with numbed robo-gangster intro, iced hook and fleshly subs all arranged for mighty, tightly restrained yet anthemic impact. Flipside is the relatively warm analog, 'Knock Knock', a minimalist roller built from gasping vox, rudely refined 808 rhythms and a subtle flush of Joy-O-esque synth presence. Touch it.

Motor City Drum Ensemble - DJ-Kicks



Quote
MCDE drops a wide-reaching DJ-Kicks session, offered here as mixed and unmixed selections ranging from Sun Ra to Aphex Twin. The vibe is deep and spiritual, also taking in classic Chicago House from Mr Fingers, disco from Loose Joints, dub from Rhythm & Sound, modern but vintage sounding House from Fred P and cherry-picked joints between.
