Releases

It’s been quite a summer for monstrous singles, the latest of which comes from two powerhouses in their own rights, Midland & Pariah. The pair has combined forces for a two-track 12-inch on Blawan and Pariah’s Work The Long Nights imprint. There’s no frills, no fancy artworks, nor laser etchings: just functional cuts of their […]

Airhead is an artist that we don’t know much about, and we kind of like it that way. His releases come quietly and stay a while, never making the mistake of getting lumped in with others. Not that Airhead is cashing in on the anonymity trend either – he just seems to be content with […]

We thought we’d hold off on writing about Jacques Greene’s latest release until the special date that is today. It’s hard to believe, but today marks exactly two whole years since Jacques Greene first upped “(Baby I Don’t Know) What You Want” to YouTube, which is the track that ultimately threw him headfirst into the […]

After a run of remixes for a myriad of labels including Throne of Blood, Innervision and Live At Robert Johnson, Tuff City Kids have released their debut record on Unterton, an Ostgut Ton sub-label. Tuff City Kids is the brainchild of respected music journalist Gerd Janson and German producer Phillip Lauer. The pair has combined forces to […]

Following an impressive first year that saw five releases from Richelle, Mister Tweeks, Lucid and Sinjin Hawke, Belgian imprint-turned-collective Pelican Fly has had a quiet release schedule through the first half of 2012. The collective has definitely kept busy recently – as evidenced by the handful of mixes that have sprung up on their SoundCloud, as […]

Hands down, ItaloJohnson pressed one of the deepest grooves of 2011 with their third untitled white label. There are three simple statements that sum up the trio’s goals and ideals: “ItaloJohnson combines different influences and aesthetics through a very uncomplicated musical formula. ItaloJohnson is in no way trying to reinvent the wheel, rather trying to create […]

Our love for L.I.E.S. should be apparent at this point, but just in case we haven’t fully transmitted it to you here’s another attempt. This would usually be the part where we’d give you a little background on the artist, but as you’d expect this is Torn Hawk’s first release. All we know for certain […]

There’s a touch of the epic in DjRUM’s productions. That’s no surprise to anyone who heard “Mountains”, his breathtaking set of 12s on 2nd Drop last year, or his astonishing mix for Resident Advisor some months back. One of the standout tracks of that mix was a sort of rework of “Undercoat”, the opening track […]

It’s through the final ten minutes of George FitzGerald’s relentlessly charming mixtape for XLR8R that we only recently stumbled upon the breathtaking sounds of Lord of the Isles, and we’re glad to have done so better late than never. The versatility displayed in this fairly mystical Scottish producer’s body of work is rather remarkable, with […]

Koreless, one of Pictures Music’s poster children, hooked us on his vowel concentrated samples and relatively beatless tracks from day one. His music immediately creates a dense and almost meditative environment yet it’s absolutely club music. After making a splash in early 2011 with his 12” debut “4D” he stepped out of the spotlight, only […]
