On this bruising 12″, the Adrian Sherwood & Pinch get down to business with two hallucinatory and suitably bowel-rupturing paeans to the green stuff.

Ital, Workshop 18
June 14, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Luckily for fans of his early releases, Ital’s first record for seminal German imprint Workshop revives their surreal palette.
Various Artists, Udacha 6
June 11, 2013 – 12:01 AM
True to the label’s ideals, parts of Udacha 6 feel genuinely improvised — a nice change to the rigidly-structured pieces we mostly hear.
Antigone, The Astral Traveller EP
June 7, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Expanding beyond their roots as France’s most exciting underground party, Concrete’s label offers their first full artist EP with Antigone’s The Astral Traveller.
Ten Walls, Gotham EP
June 6, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Each of the three tracks on Ten Walls’ Gotham EP touches a distinct style rooted in house, but each grows unpredictably according to its own internal logic.
Moiré, Rolx
June 5, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Moiré’s instinctively urgent sequencing, micro-rhythmic obsession and control of an intoxicating array of denatured samples makes this EP a powerfully introspective investigation
Pev & Hodge, Bells
June 4, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Peverelist returns to his Punch Drunk imprint for the first time in three years with Bristol’s Hodge in tow, offering two divergent takes on the same tune.
Willie Burns, Run From The Sunset
May 23, 2013 – 12:01 AM
William Burnett’s latest as Willie Burns for Crème Organization includes four paranoia-tinged offerings, only united in their blithely off-hand composition.
MMM, Que Barbaro
May 22, 2013 – 12:01 AM
MMM’s sixth record continues their run of spacious rave starters, taking some of the cues from their incredible Shangaan Electro remix and resulting in their strongest outing since “Donna.”
Kode9, Xingfu Lu / Kan
May 17, 2013 – 12:01 AM
XIngfu Lu / Kan, Hyperdub boss Steve Goodman’s first production outing since 2011, is as lone-standing as ever.
Roman Flügel, Even More
May 16, 2013 – 12:01 AM
When it comes to Roman Flügel, imposing boundaries is a bad idea. Even More, an entry for Serge’s Clone Jack For Daze venture, proves disappointingly restricted.
Black Jazz Consortium, Codes and Metaphors 3
May 14, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Given the rich, sample-heavy weave of Fred P’s productions, the influence of mid-90s UK broken-beat is used to great effect throughout the hazy, jazz-infused jams of Codes and Metaphors 3.
Sandrow M, Prayervan EP
May 8, 2013 – 12:01 AM
Prayervan EP, a colorful and emotive four-track by Dresden’s Sandrow M, favors grinning, accessible tune-craft and a bright, clear directness.
Murat Tepeli, Fee Fi Foe Funk For Me
May 2, 2013 – 12:01 AM
On Fee Fi Foe Funk For Me, Murat Tepeli and his remixers — Prosumer and Damiano von Eckert — display a deft grasp of hooks which make for a solid EP.
Demdike Stare, Testpressing #001/#002
May 1, 2013 – 12:01 AM
For the Testpressing series, Sean Canty and Miles Whittaker strip away the ornate art that long accompanied their releases to reveal equally raw tracks with no end point in sight.
Mr. Beatnick, Savannah EP
April 30, 2013 – 1:01 AM
Savannah completes Mr. Beatnick’s Synthetes EP trilogy maintaining the mellow, memorable note the London musician hit by embedding hip-hop fragments, mosaic-like, between well-spaced kick drums.
Bicep, Stash EP
April 25, 2013 – 12:01 AM
The four tracks that make up Bicep’s latest EP for Aus Music, Stash, bristle with sheen but suffer from a certain lack of imagination.
