Christopher Rau, In the Water

Staying fairly true to his habit of making better singles than albums, Christopher Rau’s final 12″ for 2012 shows off some of his less common facets.

Moiré, Never Sleep

Moiré assimilates nicely amongst Actress’s clandestine fold on Werkdiscs with his debut EP, Never Sleep, which also features a remix from the label boss.

Levon Vincent, Stereo Systems

Levon Vincent’s sole 12″ of 2012, Stereo Systems, contains three cuts that each approach the dance floor on their own terms.

In Aeternam Vale, La Piscine

Minimal Wave’s further excavations yield a second single from the French duo In Aeternam Vale, this one even more relevant to contemporary audiences.

DIVA, Paris Stabbing

A project devoted to the spirit of Jocelyn Brown, Lolleatta Holloway, and other such vocalists, DIVA in fact takes a freeform, analog-sounding approach to composition on Paris Stabbing.

Silent Servant / Santiago Salazar, Mi Alma

Silent Servant’s split 12″ with Santiago Salazar offers two beautifully sinewy techno sides, both imbued with differing shades of melancholy and bite.

Garben Eden, Romantic Archive

Only his third release, German producer Garben Eden’s Romantic Archive EP for Lampuka Records sounds more like the work of a long established producer.

G. Marcell, Sound Extravagance EP

Chicago’s G. Marcell plays up his experimental side on Sound Extravagance, his first solo release for Hakim Murphy’s Machining Dreams label.

Manhooker, Wheels In Motion EP
