B.D.I.’s Decoded Messages Of Life & Love lives up to its billing as industrial music, albeit with a decidedly disco bent.
Efdemin, Chicago Remixes (2)
This latest batch of Chicago remixes — featuring Deadbeat, Fred P, Rndm, and Efdemin himself — doesn’t exactly reimagine the material as a Tavi Gevinson ensemble, at least one of the inclusions may turn some heads.
Locked Groove, Rooted
Hotflush starts off 2012 with the debut from Belgian producer Locked Groove, and it’s the kind of confident and assured debut many artists could only hope for.
Xosar, Tropical Cruize
Xosar’s music has been floating around the internet for awhile, but Tropical Cruize is the San Francisco producer’s first official release.

Cuthead, Brother
The Brother EP for Uncanny Valley showcases both Cuthead’s hip-hop past and his house music present.
Linkwood, Secret Value
Having firmly established the faultless Shevchenko via three killer self-penned releases, Vakula throws over control of number four to Edinburgh’s Linkwood.

Ital Tek, Gonga
Ital Tek is the latest Planet Mu stalwart to catch the footwork bug, as shown on his last 2011 effort, Gonga.
DVS1, HUSH 01
DVS1 launches his own label, HUSH, with a no-frills single that wrings the most out of every element.
