Aksel Friberg & Kicki Halmos, To Be There With You
August 22, 2012 – 12:01 AM

René Audiard, Pechorin
August 21, 2012 – 12:01 AM

August 16, 2012 – 12:01 AM
Tom Demac’s Obstructing The Light carries on the Glass Table tradition of confounding as it delivers intriguing house dispatches.
Theo Parrish, Any Other Styles
August 15, 2012 – 10:01 AM
“Any Other Styles” sees Theo Parrish whip up a flurry of kung-fu samples without placing them neatly into a groove, leaving some scratching their heads and others allured.

August 15, 2012 – 12:01 AM

Typesun, Heart Maths
August 14, 2012 – 12:01 AM
This first single from the forthcoming LP, side-by-side with Guido and remixed by Peverelist, strongly reflects the Bristol scene’s atmosphere of mutual creative unity.

Jon Convex, Idoru EP 2
August 9, 2012 – 12:01 AM
Seedy, pumping, scowling electronic music, bereft of frills and infused with a twitchy cocaine swagger is what Jon Convex offers on Idoru EP 2.
Torn Hawk, Tarifa
August 9, 2012 – 12:00 AM
The four tracks on Torn Hawk’s debut, Tarifa, resemble soundtrack work and stand in contrast to the L.I.E.S’ more dance floor-oriented releases.
Locussolus, Berghain
August 8, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Proving once again that his musical remit is broader than Balearic, DJ Harvey’s Locussolus guise returns with Berghain.
Simoncino, Dreams EP
August 8, 2012 – 12:01 AM
