Recloose, Saturday Night Manifesto

Recloose’s return to releasing original material shows the producer functioning at a typically high creative point.

Incyde, Telophase

Incyde’s first official solo release arrives on Brendon Moeller’s Steadfast label, a fine fit for Alex Bishop’s slightly dub-leaning techno fusions.

S-Max & Spatial, Schmorgasbord 002

S-Max plays the strait-laced straight face to Spatial’s loopy and skewed maniac on the second platter from Bristol’s collaboration-centered Schmorgasbord imprint.

Pixelord, Iron and Cream

Seemingly in response to the proliferation of the wild 8-bit sound, Pixelord’s Iron and Cream on Leisure System is a much more subtle and mature take on electronic swagger.

Ital, Culture Clubs

Culture Clubs, Martin-McCormick’s second solo 12″ as Ital and first for his own Lovers Rock imprint, realizes the potential behind his looming influences.

Alex Israel, Walking To Guntersville

Alex Israel’s first physical 12″ displays a confident versatility which compliments the already heterogeneous back catalog of W.T. Records.

Marcel Fengler, Thwack Remixes

A year after it made a big impact on techno dance floors, Marcel Fengler’s “Thwack” gets a remix package with new takes by Norman Nodge, Mike Parker, and Luke Slater under two different names.

Lucky Paul, Lucky Paul Remixes

Realizing the full potential of the Money Vs Gold remix of Lucky Paul, Wolf+Lamb chose to re-release the remix along with another Lucky Paul original, this time reworked by label stalwart Greg Paulus.

The Express, First Class

In many ways, The Express’s First Class defines much that is right and wrong with techno in 2011.

Ossie, Set The Tone

With his new EP for Hyperdub, Set The Tone, Ossie attempts to capture a particularly unique strain of funky house with three tracks of varying degrees of similarity.

Kassem Mosse, Musical Generics

While Wendel’s remix work has started to sound like Kassem Mosse hunkering down into peggability, this solo outing reveals a producer still very much open to interpretation.

Arkist, Rendezvous

True to form, Arkist’s debut on the always weird Apple Pips label might be his best work yet.

Gerd & Elbee Bad, H.O.U.S.E.

Gerd & Elbee Bad’s 1994 record H.O.U.S.E. gets a new release on 4Lux with a slate of new remixes from Arttu, Jacob Korn and Neville Watson.

Juju & Jordash, Unleash The Golem Part 1

For their limited edition series of Unleash the Golem singles for Gold Channel Recordings, Juju & Jordash ask listeners to ponder the existence of their one-time home country of Israel.

Vladislav Delay, Latoma EP

The Latoma EP constitutes a pretty sharp left turn for both Echochord and Vladislav Delay, and a pretty stellar one at that.

Kuedo, Videowave

Kuedo has proven himself to be a restless electronic music innovator who, with his latest EP for Planet Mu, Videowave, begins the process of a new metamorphosis. Illium Sphere, Clark, and Heterotic feature on remix duty.

Legowelt, Sark Island Acid

Sark Island Acid, Legowelt’s first 12″ for the L.I.E.S. label, features three of his most ambitious compositions thus far.

Aroy Dee, Beauty & Life

Beauty & Life finds Aroy Dee and remixer Ra.H playing to their strengths and coming up with three eminently enjoyable tracks for M>O>S Recordings.

Levon Vincent, Man Or Mistress

Novel Sound’s fifth transmission — its first since 2009 — sees Vincent release one of his biggest and best tracks so far, accompanied by two more than worthy B-side attractions.

Furesshu, Downstate

Downstate feels like the start of a promising new phase for Steadfast, and the fact that it’s being triggered by a producer like Furesshu says a lot for the English producer’s range, dexterity, and bright future.
