Over the past two years Murphy Jax has put out releases on labels such as Turbo and Clone Jack For Daze Series, each one deeply indebted in Chicago house grooves. For his first release on Hypercolour Jax combines two of our favorite types of music, house and hip hop. How could this not be a […]
Read moreIntroducing: Iron Galaxy
It’s rare for us to hear one track from an artist and immediately fall in love, but Adam Hodgins aka Iron Galaxy appears to be the exception. The track in question “Attention Seeker,” a melancholic and clearly machine driven house tune, made its way onto Soundcloud last weekend and may signal another bright light hailing […]
Read moreReview: Ital – Hive Mind
Daniel Martin-McCormick of Mi Ami, Black Keys, and Sex Worker introduced us to Ital, an outlet for his more dancefloor orientated house music, last year. With the sonically diverse 12”s he released on 100% Silk behind him, he’s decided to break in 2012 with his debut album, Hive Mind, on Planet Mu. The album is […]
Read moreRecommended: The Nathaniel X Project – The Resurrxion EP
As you might have noticed, the classic sound that defined 90s house is finally back. Or rather, it never really left and just crawled deep underground choosing to resurface at this point in time. Over the last few years we have been treated to this resurgence with new artists and labels paying homage to their […]
Read moreReview: Sines – Money Girl EP
Houston based producer Sines embodies exactly the type of American hip hop that is universally loved.

The entire EP, which was released […]

Read moreReview: The Analogue Cops – The Purple EP
With releases under at least half a dozen different monikers, including Xenogears, OCP, Appointment, Lucretio and Marieu, The Analogue Cops are experts at bringing life and a human element out of machines; this record only adds to their “cop-on-site” discography. The latest addition, “The Purple EP“, is more of the raw stripped down House they have […]
Read moreRecommended: Loftmind. – INTP
Bridging the gap between hip hop, ambient music, and the all-encompassing bass music, Leeds based duo, Loftmind, seem to be carving their own sound in a world of recycled and re-hashed R&B vocals. The pair’s newest ep, INTP, has an almost live feel to it, comparable to Mount Kimbie; every addition builds off the other, […]
