Recommended: Various Artists – Think & Change

The level of buzz and excitement around “Think & Change” should not come as a shock. Since Boddika founded the label three years ago, Nonplus has become one of the most esteemed names in drum & bass, dubstep and techno. Instra:mental – the duo comprised of Boddika and Jon Convex – dominated the label’s early […]

Recommended: Coco Bryce – Club Tropicana

Dutch producer and DJ Coco Bryce has been cooking in the kitchen for well over a decade, but it seems like we’re served a completely different dish each time we come over, though they always smell good and are always nutritious. His refreshingly chameleon nature comes through once again in his newest release on Fremdtunes, […]

Recommended: Lost Trax – Hidden Agenda

What’s incredibly great about Lost Trax is that the choice of remaining anonymous since 2006 has not once been a hype tool or more in the limelight than the actual music that is produced. Of course theories were brought forward and speculations were made but it wasn’t till 2010 where they stated in a small […]

Recommended: Les Sins – Grind / Prelims

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 […]

Recommended: Soosh – Colour Is Breathe

It’s been a few weeks since Error Broadcast dropped “Colour Is Breathe“, the debut album from Iranian-born, Scottish-raised producer Soroosh Khavari, aka Soosh. It’s an album that grabs you on first listen, enveloping you in its melancholy, but with every listen it feels at once like an old friend and a new acquaintance. Opening with […]

Chronicles: Rockie Fresh – Electric Highway

We couldn’t make it to SXSW this year, but plenty of our favorite artists went down to the festival, including Chicago’s Rockie Fresh who hustled hard in Austin, performing at Warner and SPIN showcases during last week’s festival. Rockie is young rapper who’s been hanging around the music industry for a few years now, linking […]

Recommended: Pépé Bradock – Acid Test 07

When talking about French dance music it would be hard to minimize the importance of Pépé Bradock. The Frenchman is responsible for hit after hit including one of dance music’s seminal records, which at 14 years old still holds a place on many dancefloors – “Deep Burnt”. Moving beyond that, he’s proven himself more than […]

Recommended: BLM – Sudden Death

Ben Micklewright is one of those guys with an expansive back-catalogue, but who has somehow flown under most people’s radar. As BLM, the bulk of his music has appeared on Fear Of Flying although he’s also worked with Tsuba Records and Jus-Ed’s Underground Quality. There’s a definite classic edge to his music and you’d be […]

Recommended: Artifact – Cologne Tracks

Incoming heat from yet another UK producer who’s experimenting with footwork, Bristol’s Artifact. Releases on somethinksound and Rebirth displayed a flair for chunky house production, elements of which carry through seamlessly here. Local Action has already been responsible for dancefloor destroyers from DJ Q and T. Williams as well as Slackk’s criminally underrated “Raw Missions […]

Recommended: MYR14D – On My Mind EP

Oliver Keogh, also known as MYR14D, is the latest newcomer on Get Some‘s label. As a label that prides itself in showcasing the best in new underground bass music, MYR14D may find himself billed alongside names such as Darkstar, Joy Orbison, and Mosca to name just a few, but the Buckinghamshire based boy most certainly holds his […]

Recommended: Torus – The Yard Sale EP

It’s not that long since we rhapsodised about Hav Lyfe’s eponymous EP on Sonic Router’s label, but we’ve reason to talk about these guys again. They’ve just dropped a surprise name-your-price EP from Torus, the Dutch artist whose EP kickstarted the label’s existence this time last year. The release of “The Yard Sale” EP marks […]

Recommended: Glenn Jackson – Morning Swim EP

On first listen, if you thought Glenn Jackson’s “Morning Swim” EP sounded like it came from a certain Spanish coastal city starting with a B, you wouldn’t be too far off. The producer hails from what many like to call the Barcelona of the US, also known as the Bay Area. Though it’s his first release under […]
