Bicep Vs, You/Don’t EP
August 1, 2012 – 12:01 AM
Biceps debut on Aus Music feels more like flirtation than full-on stylistic evolution — a safe exploration of a sound that’s been pretty thoroughly mined at this point.
Juju & Jordash, Jewsex
July 31, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Taking a break from the serious themes of their Unleash the Golem series, “Jewsex” is not only heavy on the visual humor: it’s one of the brightest, most upfront tracks Juju & Jordash have done.
Moomin, She Said She Won’t Be That Long Away
July 31, 2012 – 12:01 AM
She Said She Won’t Be That Long Away, Moomin’s first solo release for the Aim imprint makes the case for his quiet consistency.
Glimpse/Martin Dawson/Alex Jones, Fat Controller
July 27, 2012 – 12:01 AM
A collaboration between Martin Dawson, Glimpse and Hypercolour’s honcho, Alex Jones, Fat Controller is easily beat by Roman Flügel’s singular remix.

July 26, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Anthony Parasole launches his The Corner imprint with tracks by Nor’Easter and DJ Qu that make nice with hip-hop in an often unheard way.
Leon Vynehall, Gold Language EP
July 26, 2012 – 12:01 AM
For the Gold Language EP, Leon Vynehall’s follow-up for Fitzgerald’s ManMakeMusic, he moves onto wonderfully shaky ground and starts to pull away from the pack in the process.
D’Marc Cantu, A New World
July 25, 2012 – 10:01 AM
A New World, D’Marc Cantu’s second album in the last year’s time, is an unpredictable show of character from a very crafty producer.

Nochexxx and Ekoplekz don new monikers and sounds for their Exoferric/Latent Acid split LP for Further Records.
Shed, The Killer

Franklin De Costa, She Is The One

Wading into still slower tempos, Franklin De Costa strikes upon some intriguing ideas with his She Is The One EP for Mule Musiq.
Jam City, Classical Curves
July 19, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Classical Curves may draw on myriad sources, but Jam City’s debut album unifies them in an expertly sequenced procession.
Luv Jam, Nesta Nip EP
July 19, 2012 – 12:01 AM
The Nesta Nip EP could be labelled as house, but it’s a psychedelic interpretation of it, focusing more on flaring, luminous chord progressions than percussion.
Old Apparatus, Derren
July 18, 2012 – 10:01 AM
Derren for Sullen Tone is a bridge between Old Apparatus’ caustic industrial and moody pop sides.
Martin Kemp, German Salad
July 18, 2012 – 12:01 AM
