Lucy’s Stroboscopic Artefacts has put us on to a lot of new music since its establishment in 2009. From the sounds of Xhin, Go Hiyama and Dadub to Lucy’s own productions, the label is unparalleled in releasing some of the finest techno records from the deeper side of the spectrum. Whilst often reaching points of […]

Dynooo is an enigmatic figure in the Belgian beat music underground. His Twitter features a stream of rather incoherent information and his Tumblr shows numerous low-resolution snapshots of, well, things. He preaches triviality: while others use social networks to promote themselves, Dynooo occupies these structures ad absurdum. Moreover, with the excess of pointless tweets and washed out […]

R&S just keep them coming. The latest signing to one of our favourite labels is the New York duo Nick Weiss and Logan Takahashi, who go by the moniker Teengirl Fantasy. These two gentlemen are making techno and house with an analogue approach and a nonconformist mentality, and when we say that they’ve caught our attention, we […]

What do you get when you cross a pet cat named Fudge and Larry Heard? That, my friends, would be the work of Edinburgh based producer Gavin Sutherland who is also known by his alias Fudge Fingas. Having played the keyboard for the likes of Carl Craig and Plastic Avengers in his early years, the man […]

BD1982 has always been in a league of his own, channeling diverse and disparate musical influences through a left-field creative filter to produce a finished product that is simultaneously exploratory yet cohesive, boundary-pushing but with a familiar feel. The producer, born Brian Durr, co-runs Japanese label Diskotopia – which has been behind incredible releases from […]

When we heard rumours of a new George Fitzgerald EP coming our way this June, we expected his usual fare – incredibly catchy melodies and some of the easiest to digest danceable music out there, a perfect example of an artist exploring a delicate mélange. He simultaneously treads the sweet spot right between house and […]

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, […]

When we first happened upon Faws back in January, he had quietly dropped his first collection of tracks over the Christmas period. Since then he’s been the subject of wild speculation, Spartacus-like claims to his identity and, most recently, a discussion about a the state of Irish music criticism and consumption. That’s a lot of […]

Dance producers, for the most part, undertake putting an album together in a variety of ways, with each artist finding varying levels of success.  Some artists choose to make a statement altogether different from their previous work. James Blake took this approach, releasing his self-titled solo album last year, a work so removed from his […]

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 […]
