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.
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.
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.
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.
Pigon, Sunrise Industry
August 18, 2011 – 12:01 AM
On their first release in three years, Pigon offer both explorations in patience-testing sound design and ultra-hushed deep house, a bewitching EP if you can strain your ears enough to hear it properly.
Lee Holman, 2nd Kawl
August 17, 2011 – 9:09 AM
Although I would stop short of calling Lee Holman an imitator, 2nd Kawl comes tantalizingly close to the rarefied territory inhabited by René Pawlowitz.
Mike Dehnert, Oblique
August 16, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Arriving in the wake of his Framework album, Mike Dehnert’s Oblique EP is where we leave behind the day-trippers and get into the real fun.
Terence Fixmer, The Night
August 16, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Terrence Fixmer’s first solo release since his records for Electric Deluxe sees him stalking back into the EBM shadows and away from the Plastikman references and fluid grooves.
Lukid, GLUM002
August 12, 2011 – 12:01 AM
The four pieces on GLUM002 sit closer to the material on Lukid albums; they’re shorter and more diverse, focusing on intricate, hard-edged drum programming above all else.
Miles, Facets
August 11, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Miles Whittaker’s latest, Facets, for long time home Modern Love, is tellingly published under his own name and represents some of the most personal music he has made.
Hype Williams, Kelly Price W8 Gain Vol. II
August 11, 2011 – 12:01 AM
Kelly Price W8 Gain Vol. II is a Hype Williams record above all else, with their iconoclasm on full display.
