Last September we spoke to Don Froth about his approach to producing music and general outlook on life. At the time he was on the cusp of two releases for Uno and West Norwood Cassette Library’s WNCL Recordings. With those records behind him and a relatively quiet 2013 (so far) we thought it’d be nice […]
Read moreShawn O’Sullivan is one of the more opinionated people in electronic music. On top of that, he has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of little known or recognized strains of music. During our conversation, he referenced his angst filled teenage years and the various types of music that accompanied it; that explains why his music tends […]
Read moreThe guys at Mister Saturday Night have done an excellent job unearthing talent based around New York. One of two new artists Eamon and Justin have introduced us to this year is Alex Burkat.

Paul Woolford has no fear; this is a man who simultaneously has one of Ibiza’s tunes of the summer and spends his free time experimenting with rave influenced sounds of nineties. Not to mention, he is responsible for one of the noughties’ most pulsating and noise-laden big room tracks, “Erotic Discourse”. Last March he christened […]

It’s no secret we’re fans of Huerco S., so much so we asked him to mix Truancy Volume 56. With musical excursions on Wicked Bass, Opal Tapes, and Anthony Naples’ fledgling imprint, Proibito we’re not the only ones to take notice. In the last two years the Kansas City based producer has synthesized his scuzzy beats […]

The last two years have been marked by a slew of 12-inches from Gerry Read, almost all of which explored skewed and pieced together forms of house music. It’s a definite deviation from the in vogue lo-fi aesthetic that’s been doing the rounds of late. Any grit or hiss that finds its way into the final […]

Adam Marshall has been involved with music in one form or another since the late nineties. Whether trafficking records and Underground Resistance t-shirts over the Canadian border or throwing parties with a core group of friends in response to rave music, he has kept his feet firmly planted in musical soil. For the better half […]
Read moreOnce again, Detroit shows the world it’s not void of new talent. After Kyle Hall unearthed the lo-fi sounds of Manuel Gonzales it seems fitting that Argot, a label based in Detroit’s sister city Chicago, would unveil the uptempo and manic synthesizers of Elizabeth Merrick-Jefferson. Last month she released her debut 12-inch, “Urban Off Road” […]

There’s no questioning that 2012 was Tessela’s breakout year. With just a few records he solidified his sound and spot on the shortlist of unique new UK talent. After appearing on a multitude of labels including 2nd Drop Records and Punch Drunk, it seems fitting for him to start something of his own (this is […]

Chaz Bundick occasionally takes off the hat in which Toro y Moi resides in favor of one more dance music oriented (let’s say a neon beanie or something.) We were acquainted with Les Sins through last year’s “Fetch / Taken”, which was also released through Caribou’s Jiaolong. Bundick has cited UK dance music icons such […]
