Great Northern Driver, Verheijen’s latest EP as Dexter, arrives on Clone Basement Series and proves his production mastery extends to bass music as well.
review
Pacific Blue, Industry
September 6, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Shifted’s more house-oriented guise, Pacific Blue, makes its debut with Industry on the producer’s own Pacific Blue label.
Madteo, Timesmithing
September 2, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Madteo makes heady, slow-motion house tracks, clearly influenced by hip-hop and especially dub. Timesmithing, his latest EP for Meakusma, keeps with this signature sound.
Floorplan, Sanctified EP
September 1, 2011 – 10:01 AM
It has long been known that Robert Hood is a deeply religious person, but Sanctified contains his most explicit musical expression of this part of his life.
eLan, Alligator Snaps
September 1, 2011 – 12:01 AM
With Alligator Snaps, the middle EP in a trilogy for Monkeytown, the San Diego-based eLan has gotten downright swampy,
Kowton, Keep Walking
August 31, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Kowton’s latest comes on Irish narcotics dealer [nakedlunch] — a perfect fit for his sound when you think about it — and he blesses the label with some of his most complex and detailed tracks yet.
Terekke, Damn/Pf Pf Pass
August 31, 2011 – 12:01 AM
As much as people go on about bedroom production and making things to make yourself happy, releases that actually sound like that, with that shade of personal, are few and far between. Terekke’s Damn/Pf Pf Pass is one of those records.
tobias., Leaning Over Backwards
August 30, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Tobias Freund’s Leaning Over Backwards is an album that gracefully sidesteps expectation, revealing the work of an artist interested only in expounding his theories through working practice.
Perseus Traxx, Misspent Emotions
August 30, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Boe Recordings have lovingly pressed Perseus Traxx’s Misspent Emotions to limited, hand-stamped 180 gram vinyl, giving fans of Chicago/Detroit revivalism a new collector’s item to sit alongside their wax-stamped Future Flash records.
Maxi Mill, To The Next/Sun Rays
August 26, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Judging by Maxi Mill’s debut, To The Next/Sun Rays, the he and Tom Trago share a fair bit in common, most prominently a dynamic, cut-and-paste sense of fun.
Kangding Ray, Or
August 25, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Kangding Ray’s Or marks a stark and rewarding move away from the melodic emphasis of his last album, Automne Fold.
Sepalcure, Love Pressure Remixed
August 25, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Love Pressure Remixed brings together FaltyDL, Lando Kal, XI, Daedelus and Jimmy Edgar to re-examine the first EP by Sepalcure.
Martyn, Masks/Viper
August 24, 2011 – 10:01 AM
On the eve of his next full-length, Martyn isn’t currently innovative so much as he’s articulate. But as Masks/Viper, the album’s teaser 12″, reveals, sharper teeth change surprisingly little about this guy’s bite.
Nochexxx, Savage Herald/Charro
August 24, 2011 – 12:01 AM
While Nochexxx’s earlier work relied on a frenetic fog of obscure sampling, his latest release sees him clear the decks and plug into leaner hardware for a queasy and hallucinatory vibe.
Nebraska, Displacement
August 23, 2011 – 10:01 AM
After two well received EPs of new material, Gibbs returns with his highest profile statement yet, the Displacement LP for Rush Hour.
Two Armadillos, People Of The World
August 23, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Two Armadillos’ People of the World is pleasantly reserved, dressing down the usual London excitability in favor of pinstripes and pocket squares.
Phonogenic, The Raw Deal
August 19, 2011 – 12:01 AM
The Raw Deal is a set of four immense, restless, and meticulously produced deep house tracks almost on par with Andre Lodemann’s masterful Don’t Panic EP on the label.
Echologist, Subterranean
August 18, 2011 – 10:01 AM
The second Echologist album, Subterranean, explores the possibilities of forgoing most of the kicks and snares often associated with dub techno.
