RBMA: Amon Tobin
As we ease ever closer to the wintery, commercially infused wonderland that Is Christmas. Spirits rise, drinks are downed and office parties abound. Inter office hook ups are resigned to the deepest recesses of conversation and excuses cunningly thought up as to why you just can’t make it in the day after. Classic Christmas vibes....
Craig Williams – Lemur
Not really an acid kinda person, but this new Craig Williams track has sealed itself to be this Friday night’s 2am dancefloor contender. Pounding 4/4 beats meets meaty basslines. I’m liking the crazy big room reverb and unstoppable build ups: [Craig Williams - Lemur] In an almost similar vein, check out this old remix he’s...
Exclusive Download: Kevin Jonson – Frozen Road EP
Kevin Jonson and the Huble imprint is testament to the kind of quality techno coming out of France at the moment – my kind of techno. Minimal, elegant, sharp beats, the title track Frozen Road, especially, gets down seriously deep. A little bit dark and melancholy. Serious stuff. I know I can be quite euro-centric...
Isotroph – Colours
Ever since I found Isotroph a coupla months back, I’ve been keeping up to date with his releases pretty closely. If you aint familiar with Isotroph’s deep dubsteppy techno style, then have a read of the earlier post here. This new track just came out literally 10 minutes ago, it’s a preview. It’s quite unlike...
SPF-5000 – White Hot Fantasy (Franki Chan Remix)
Amy from SPF-5000 dropped this email like last month and I only just got round to it now – that’s how deep this inbox is. They’ve just got their debut, White Hot Fantasy out via Top Billin and they wanna spread the love round. Electro-house is something I’ve grown out of, but Franki Chan‘s tough...
Simian Mobile Disco – Gizzard
Fuck YES! Simian Mobile Disco‘s released the video for their latest single Gizzard and it is fucking mint. Pounding and relentless, the single is part of Simian’s collab with Psycatron (Planet E, Tronic). Psycatron’s done a fucking sweet remix of the track, serious forward-thinking techno,I’m getting a very distinct Berlin sound from these Irish producers....
Moloko – The Time Is Now (Joe and Will Ask Vs Kiwi Remix)
I think I’m going to go to tesco and grab a bigass bottle of nutella and stuff my face with that shit, stare out of my window, watch Leeds city getting darker, the streets wet from the rain. The best thing about living in a tall apartment is that you get to see the whole...
In Photos: Deathray Leeds, 1st May
New season, new venue. The kids are all dressed in summer gear, the barbeque is on, the music is trippin. It was a techno all dayer. I think the Deathray crew has found probably the best secret venue in Leeds. Once again Adam Taylor’s set got me movin like nothin else. Hard, pounding and progressive,...
Isotroph
It’s coming out of the woodwork now, this dubstep / techno monster that was first unleased on this blog last week via Beto Narme. This new one comes from the very cold. mechanical sounding, Isotroph, real name Nicolas Couval from France. He’s made it into a kind of science: the ambient atmosphere, tough beats and...
Beto Narme
It’s bound to happen. This dubstep techno hybrid. Over the months we’ve experienced the sophisticated sounds of the dubstep + house style, which then, kinda led us to the dubstep / garage-revival and then to the future garage fusions. But this dubstep techno thing is summat else altogether. First brought to my attention months ago...
Noob – Crumble EP
Noob‘s new Crumble EP is comin out in April 20th via Popof‘s imprint, Form. After a couple of hit remixes over the years of folks like D.I.M., Tiga, Brodinski, Proxy etc, it’s finally time for this french producer to show what he’s got. You can preview the EP here before it hits stores. Bubbling synths...
Jobe
This is what I need right now, really. Deep house to soothe the veins. Jobe is probably somebody you havent heard of yet. And if being obscure means being awesome, then fuck those big time dickhead DJs. Start with the original track Deeply Agnostic, a spacious, deep house number and then move on to Random...
