review
Morphosis, What Have We Learned
May 3, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Morphosis’ What Have We Learned is conceptually, sonically and emotionally consistent, but that doesn’t mean it’s not one of the stranger techno albums you’ll hear all year.
Julius Steinhoff, Out In the Woods EP
May 3, 2011 – 12:01 AM
After testing the waters with a solo track on a Smallville split 12″, Julius Steinhoff strikes out on his own with the Out In the Woods EP for Geography Records.
Donato Dozzy, Acid Test 03
April 29, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Donato’s Dozzy’s latest missive for Absurd Recordings’ Acid Test is enjoyable, but is it enough to justify the massive outpouring of fanboy love reserved for each of his releases?
Andre Lodemann, Don’t Panic
April 28, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Andre Lodemann’s second EP for Room With A View emphasizes his faint allegiances to deep house with two unhurried slow-burners that forgo conventional “deepness” in favor of unfettered and highly modern textures.
Conforce, State of Mind
April 28, 2011 – 12:01 AM
On State Of Mind for Clone Basement Series, Conforce shows he has the requisite talent for his work to stand apart from the average producer.
Marcellus Pittman, The Eastside Story
April 27, 2011 – 10:01 AM
The Eastside Story, Marcellus Pittman’s first EP for the Scottish label Seventh Sign, effectively offers something for everyone across its three tracks.
Peverelist, Dance Til The Police Come/Fundamentals
April 27, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Dance Till The Police Come/Fundamentals is a departure from Peverelist’s past work, taking the nervous tics of “Better Ways Of Living” or “The Hum” and jetting off with them into full-on rave hysteria.
Dinky, Take Me/Polvo
April 26, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Dinky’s first full solo release for the mighty Ostgut Ton sees her running back to the dance floor with two mighty tech-house slammers.
Leonid Nevermind, Light Is Here EP
April 26, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Three years on and Leonid Nevermind’s Light Is Here EP for Nowar appears to be a major course correction pushing him in the right direction.
2562, Fever
April 22, 2011 – 6:01 AM
Fever has Dave Huismans diving back into the cruel mechanical whiplash of his second album under the 2562 guise, Unbalance.
Pitto, Where My Soul Is Now
April 22, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Once an early adopter of a loop-heavy style, Pitto charts a new course with “Where My Soul Is Now” for the Green imprint.
Skudge, Phantom
April 21, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Phantom, Skudge’s full-length debut, does not surrender their style in favor of a subdued home-listening experience, instead keeping its focus on the dance floor.
Addison Groove, This Is It/Make Um Bounce
April 21, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Addison Groove’s latest single for Tectonic shows more restraint and subtlety than “Footcrab” while adding the influences of techno, house and acid.
Various Artists, Trouble4
April 20, 2011 – 11:07 PM
The fourth record in the Trouble V/A series brings together Kenneth James Gibson (better known as [a]pendics.shuffle), Hewlett, and Seattle’s Derrick Deepvibez.

April 20, 2011 – 10:01 AM
After a week of recuperation, LWE’s Jordan Rothlein and Chris Miller offer their thoughts on this year’s Unsound Festival New York.
Smash TV, World Wide Wet
April 20, 2011 – 6:01 AM
While the outfit’s name is as unfortunate as ever, the warm, disco-inflected beats presented on Smash TV’s World Wide Wet are certainly welcome.
Kenton Slash Demon, The Schwarzschild Solution Part III
April 20, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Their well received The Schwarzschild Solution series for the imprint concludes with its strongest entry yet and is backed by two remixes from buzzed over Swedish producer Axel Boman.
