single
Kevin Reynolds, Favis
January 13, 2011 – 1:01 AM
Kevin Reynold’s second vinyl release on his Todhchai Records puts on display both his attention to detail and the off-the-cuff nature of of his live performances.
LCD Soundsystem, Throw
January 12, 2011 – 11:01 AM
LCD Soundsystem’s cover of Paperclip People’s “Throw” may be perfectly adequate and suitable for the former’s live sets, but does it warrant being pressed up by Planet E?
Traversable Wormhole, The Remixes Pt. 03
January 12, 2011 – 1:01 AM
The Remixes Pt. 03 offers further proof Traversable Wormhole’s releases have done more than most anonymous projects to forge a new path through the creative stagnation that bedevils electronic music.
Kirk Degiorgio, Flote EP
January 11, 2011 – 11:01 AM
On the Flote EP for Flying Donkey Music, Kirk Degiorgio has once again managed to rein in his explosive tendencies enough to deliver something sweet, not saccharine.
Orphan101, Propa/Disemble
January 11, 2011 – 1:01 AM
orphan101’s first release of the year arrives on Appleblim’s Applepips label, falling perfectly in line with the label’s standard of idiosyncratic bass music.
STL, Mistakes Are Made For Everyone
January 7, 2011 – 11:01 AM
A decade after Matthew Herbert released his Let’s All Make Mistakes mix for Tresor comes a worthy addendum to the art of doing things incorrectly from Stephan Laubner.
Omar-S, These Complimentary Track’x
January 7, 2011 – 1:01 AM
Despite covering a great deal of territory in 2010, Omar-S maintained a high standard for quality which continues on These Complimentary Track’x.
Pearson Sound, Blanked/Blue Eyes
January 6, 2011 – 11:01 AM
David Kennedy chose to end 2010 in the same way he ended in 2009 — sneaking out a twelve on his own Hessle Audio label under his Pearson Sound alias.
Obsolete Music Technology, Relapse EP
January 6, 2011 – 1:01 AM
Obsolete Music Technology’s Relapse EP for the latter suggests that while he’s ready for a change of venue, the aesthetic he’s built up remains more or less the same.
Mike Dehnert, Spreepool
January 5, 2011 – 11:01 AM
Still very much focused on the Basic Channel/Tresor legacy, Mike Dehnert manages to tease and tweak new interpretations out of that general formula on Spreepool.
Bakey Ustl, E.P.1
January 5, 2011 – 1:01 AM
Bakey Ustl’s debut release arrived a little too late to figure in any best-of lists, but that doesn’t diminish the strength of his stunning EP for Firecracker’s off-shoot, Unthank.
Roman Flügel, How to Spread Lies
January 4, 2011 – 11:01 AM
How to Spread Lies exists in a space between Flügel’s catalog and that of Dial; unquestionably more lighthearted than your average Lawrence release but also containing shades of sentimentality.
Headhunter, Lost Prophet/Chasing Dragons
January 4, 2011 – 1:01 AM
Rather than focusing on the segmented “drop” structure of dubstep, Headhunter’s Lost Prophet/Chasing Dragons prefer a sustained buildup more akin to house music.
Manaboo, Delinquent/SB Massive
December 3, 2010 – 10:01 AM
Immerse ends 2010 in typically unpredictable style with a techno single by Manaboo, better known as Brendon Moeller and Shigeru Tanabu.
Taz, Gold Tooth Grin
December 3, 2010 – 1:01 AM
Taz joins contemporaries Rustie and Hudson Mohawke in looking to the 80’s for inspiration with Gold Tooth Grin.
Girl Unit, Wut
December 2, 2010 – 1:01 AM
With “Wut,” Girl Unit has created another un-singable sing-a-long anthem for the final throes of a 5 a.m. dance floor that’s likely make its impact felt in year end lists.
Portable, This Life of Illusion
December 1, 2010 – 11:01 AM
On the Perlon-released This Life of Illusion, Alan Abrahams is the most successful when tapping into his emotions and his own unique baritone.
