album
Tazz, The Adventures of Tazz
March 27, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Tazz’s debut LP, The Adventures of Tazz is less a grand statement than a series of individual, self-contained ones.
Conforce, Escapism
March 20, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Boris Bunnik’s second LP as Conforce, Escapism, helps to further cement his already impeccable reputation as a purveyor of techno.
Scuba, Personality
March 14, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Personality highlights the narrative that’s been hiding in plain sight: Scuba has steadily been nurturing an almost otherworldly studio prowess, one that reaches its apex here.
Recondite, On Acid
March 13, 2012 – 10:01 AM
In pushing the 303 towards languidness, Recondite has created an album more deeply psychedelic and mind-bending than a vast majority of previous attempts.

March 8, 2012 – 11:01 AM
As Slant Azymuth, Andy Votel of the Finders Keepers label and Demdike Stare find still more ways to synthesize their bottomless record collections into dark and otherworldly electronic music.
John Talabot, Æ’IN
March 1, 2012 – 11:01 AM
Æ’IN is the embodiment of the euphoric house Talabot is known for in an album as expertly sequenced as any “best new music” you’re likely to hear.
Ital, Hive Mind
February 28, 2012 – 11:01 AM
Hive Mind is easily the most confident and complete Ital statement yet, a competent move to the album format that achieves cohesion without losing vitality or edge.
Demdike Stare, Elemental
February 23, 2012 – 11:01 AM
Demdike Stare’s 4XLP package Elemental is a considerable investment, but one that generously repays the time and money spent enjoying it.
Voices From The Lake, Voices From The Lake
February 22, 2012 – 11:01 AM
Donato Dozzy and Neel come together as Voices From The Lake on their self-titled debut album, which draws upon natural tranquility but retains a steadying and soothing functionality.
BBH: Lego Feet, Lego Feet
February 10, 2012 – 1:01 AM
While Autechre completists will undoubtedly appreciate a window into the pair before they’d fully formed, students of dance music will enjoy hearing the gamut of 1980s dance music tropes cracking at their foundations.
Porter Ricks, Biokinetics
February 2, 2012 – 11:01 AM
Type Records’ first “proper” techno record comes in the form of a reissue of Biokinetics, the fabled work of Porter Ricks and Chain Reaction’s first CD release.
Nuel, Trance Mutation
January 10, 2012 – 11:01 AM
Nuel confounds expectations with his full-length debut for Further Records — an album that exists outside the techno sphere while feeling comfortable in its orbit.
Space Dimension Controller, Pathway to Tiraquon6
January 3, 2012 – 11:01 AM
Since Thrillz there’s been talk of an SDC album, and in typically gratuitous fashion Jack Hamill and R&S ended the year with a 49-minute “prequel” to said long-player.
Planetary Assault Systems, The Messenger
December 2, 2011 – 11:01 AM
The Messenger finds Planetary Assault Systems pulling back on the throttle after the all out blitzkrieg that was 2009’s Temporary Suspension.
Teebs, Collection 01
December 1, 2011 – 11:01 AM
Less composed than 2010’s Ardour, the mixtape-like feel of Teebs’ Collection 01 offers a snapshot of one period in his progression as a producer.
Rebolledo, Super Vato
November 30, 2011 – 11:01 AM
Rebolledo’s debut LP, Super Vato, is a deeply collaborative work emphasizing a certain laid-backness we don’t find very often in club music.
Pinch & Shackleton, Pinch & Shackleton
November 30, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Two lone wolves, Shackleton and Pinch, come together to blend their bass weighted sensibilities into an unsettling LP, Pinch & Shackleton.
