After two years away from the label, Ron Morelli and Jason Letkiewicz return to L.I.E.S. as Two Dogs In A House bringing with them two strung out live jams, which expand and contract over nearly thirty minutes. Each side is well over ten minutes long with the intention being, as Ron puts it, to create […]

We’ve fawned over Recondite quite a bit around here and with good reason: his minimalistic approach to techno and acid has led to some of our favorite records of the last two years. Through his Plangent Records imprint he has slowly breathed life into the tired sounds of the TB-303. By now many of you have […]

Zodiac is the moniker of Toronto producer Jeremy Rose who is behind some The Weeknd’s earlier songs and more recently Paul Epworth’s first signee to his Wolf Tone imprint. Few details have emerged about this partnership, but the concept behind it seems open to say the least: working with someone as accomplished as Paul cannot be […]

We’re always excited for new FaltyDL, and considering he has an album on the way for Ninja Tune the timing is just right for a new record. Last year he impressed us with the exploration and slinky garage tendencies of his sophomore album “We Stand Uncertain” as well as his outings on Swamp 81 via […]

We’d be hard pressed to find a producer with as much skin in the game as Theo Parrish. The man takes tremendous pride in his art and the work that goes behind constructing tracks. He’s also a strong proponent of rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dusty in record shops. He’s even said […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
