Recommended: Scuba – The Hope (Recondite Remixes)

There’s no denying that Scuba’s “Personality” was a milestone not only for the man himself, but also for Hotflush Recordings. In a way it completed the label’s transformation from fringe dubstep label to purveyors of techno, garage influenced house and everything in between. Keeping in line with their recent output they’ve enlisted Recondite, whose “On […]

Recommended: Shawn O’Sullivan – Free Flight

If the necessity of record shops is lost on you, then let this be testament to why they are still around in 2012. Thanks to some digging and a strange watercolour pelican on the label we discovered Shawn O’Sullivan’s “Free Flight” on W.T. Records. It was released in January and just reached our ears this […]

Recommended: Eli Escobar – Album Sampler

Eli Escobar is a staple in the New York house scene and over the last few years he’s quietly released records on Wurst, Plant Music, Money Studies Records, and Dither Down. His tracks always check the three boxes of creativity, being dancefloor orientated and being approachable; anyone who works within dance music knows checking two […]

Stream: Courtship – The People Around You

Courtship, Patric Fallon’s playful side-project for writing sluggish, lo-fi pop music, has been unusually silent over the last six months and in a digital world where people move from project to project at an unholy rate this may have led some to believe it had reached its end. Thankfully this is not true, Fallon is planning to give […]

Recommended: Kevin Eames – The Eddie Willers EP

Last December after letting loose a few cheeky demos on his Soundcloud Kevin Eames released a free collaborative LP, “Bricks”, with one of Canada’s best-kept secrets Prison Garde. The result of multiple jam sessions in their studio, they produced an album of unfiltered, no frills house music complete with sharp basslines and classic drum machines.  […]

Truancy Volume 48: Anthony Naples

New York resident and new kid on the block Anthony Naples made quite a stir earlier this year with his debut release on Mister Saturday Night, “Mad Disrespect”. The record, made up of his first finished tracks, is exactly what we would expect from a New York house record; it’s sexy, made for the dancefloor, […]

Preview: Charo – Floating Free

One of the guys behind WotNot, Charo, is making his debut on the label next month and for the most part it’s left-field pop music.  These are the same people behind Deft’s well-received “Clotting EP“, which treaded the ground between some of LA beat material and synth-pop. Knowing that they gravitate towards trippy beat-driven material, […]

Interview: Svengalisghost

If you’ve heard anything off of Svengalisghost’s debut release, “Mind Control“, it’s apparent this is the work of an experienced producer with a refined palette of sounds. Don’t get it twisted, he’s in no way content with using the same sounds over and over, as he states, “What’s the new sound? That can’t be it, […]

Preview: Sugardaddy – How Long (Iron Galaxy Remixes)

A few months ago we introduced you to Adam Hodgins aka Iron Galaxy through his sensual late night tune “Attention Seeker” (which, on a side note, is forthcoming on Audio Culture).  We’re huge fans of the way he pairs some of the warmest bass tones with the simplest of vocals. Knowing that you can imagine our joy […]

Recommended: Luke Abbott – Modern Driveway

Up until now Gold Panda reserved his label, Notown, for his own releases, that’s finally changed with the release of Luke Abbott’s “Modern Driveway”.  The entire record is on some extremely late night business, as in catching the subway at 5AM while asking yourself why you stayed out so late with work in three hours.  […]

Preview: Protect-U – Motorbike EP

It’s been a little over a year since we’ve heard anything from Protect-U, but after having a few listens to their new “Motorbike EP” on Planet Mu we’ve concluded that it was worth the wait.  The duo is made up of Mike Petillo aka Mondo, who is also one half of Future Times, and Aaron […]

Recommended: Pariah – Rift EP

 Has it really been almost two years since Pariah’s last solo release?  That’s almost as hard to believe as him being only two releases deep.  He popped up on everyone’s radar with “Detroit Falls / Orpheus”, which not only cemented him as a staple in the new breed of British producers, but marked R&S’s massive […]
