Joy Orbison, Ellipsis
June 21, 2012 – 10:01 AM

Efdemin, Chicago Remixes (2)
January 17, 2012 – 11:01 AM
This latest batch of Chicago remixes — featuring Deadbeat, Fred P, Rndm, and Efdemin himself — doesn’t exactly reimagine the material as a Tavi Gevinson ensemble, at least one of the inclusions may turn some heads.
Rebolledo, Super Vato

September 28, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Over 80 minutes, Cavalier’s A Million Horses inhabits a warm, vintage, and unabashedly soulful pocket with a fervor few can match. But can it set itself apart from the many other producers doing the same?
Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Ubiquitous Gaze
September 7, 2011 – 10:01 AM
Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts was among the relatively few producers whose take on tropical minimal house was worth following, Ubiquitous Gaze is unlikely to convince listeners that’s still the case.
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.
