Fred P, Finale Revisited Vol 1
Finale Sessions take another look at recent instant classics from Fred P for Finale Revisited Vol 1.
Jam City, Classical Curves
Classical Curves may draw on myriad sources, but Jam City’s debut album unifies them in an expertly sequenced procession.
Old Apparatus, Derren
Derren for Sullen Tone is a bridge between Old Apparatus’ caustic industrial and moody pop sides.
Dario Zenker, Cat Stance
Cat Stance is Dario Zenker’s second appearance on Peter Van Hoesen’s Time To Express label, and like the first, it comes bolstered with a remix from the proprietor himself.
Tropic of Cancer, Permissions of Love
While Permissions Of Love maintains the droning sonics familiar to Tropic of Cancer fans, the slight modifications to their sound are noteworthy improvements.
Clatterbox, Semi-Automatic
Clatterbox avoids the pitfalls often faced by older producers on his second effort for TRUST, with Jimmy Edgar and Lodig on remix duty.
Download of the Week: Geiom + My Panda Shall Fly, Telephone Telepathy
This week’s download finds Geiom collaborating with My Panda Shall Fly on a tune that strives to put the “future” in future bass.
Traxman, Da Mind Of Traxman
Traxman is capable of picking any sample he chooses and disfiguring it to suit his own purposes, and Da Mind Of Traxman accordingly bounces from source to source with ease.
Forward Strategy Group, Labour Division EP1
Always proponents of inspired pairings, Perc Trax pits Factory Floor against Forward Strategy Group on the latter’s Labour Division EP1.
Innerspace Halflife, Cosmology EP
The Cosmology EP, Innerspace Halflife’s debut for member Hakim Murphy’s Machining Dreams label, sits closer to Chicago’s house legacy than any overseas “continuum.”
Actress, R.I.P
R.I.P finds Actress eschewing the mélanges of ramshackle genre studies in favor of an album that is considerably more precise in its geometry.
Afrikan Sciences, Boss Nova’s Second Pass EP
Boss Nova’s Second Pass EP, again released via Deepblak, is Afrikan Sciences’ first wholly new release since the Means And Ways LP.
Patrice Scott, Orbital Bliss
Orbital Bliss, the latest transmission from Patrice Scott’s own Sistrum label, exemplifies a style that seems like it’s trying to estimate celestial vastness.
A5, Udacha 1
Udacha 1, the Udacha label’s inaugural release, finds A5 in as fresh a form as ever, following up those Rawax records with four abstract cuts.
DOTW: Alex Israel, Spite Donkey Scolding Leech
