There’s no questioning that Gerry Read made quite a stir last year with releases on Fourth Wave and 2nd Drop, which received acclaim across the genre spectrum.  Read will delve further into the rugged, lo-fi house sounds he has become known for with an album due out later this year, but those plans haven’t stopped him […]

Earlier this month German label Just Another Beat pressed up yet another crisp and sensual slab of house music, this time the from the mysterious Kim Brown.  Almost no information is available on Brown, who knows it could be an alias, but either way the aptly titled Spring Theory EP acts as a bridge from […]

While we admit that we’re not ahead of the trend on this one, we can’t stop listening to Bang’t, the recent single from Geeeman on Clone Records’ impeccably curated Jack For Daze Series. Geeeman, the Chicago house side project of accomplished producer Gerd, made an impressive debut late in 2010 with his whacked out, raw-as-fuck […]

“Placement”, the second release by Midland on Aus Music, is another step forward for an artist who seems to improve with everything he does. From last year’s “Through Motion” and “Bring Joy” EPs to remixes for Sei A and Washed Out, not to mention his stunning edit of Boards of Canada’s “Olson“, it seems everything […]

Once again Freshmore has dropped a Southern leaning, bass heavy, hip hop EP. Entitled Sip Slow, this EP comes from Mess Kid and is a single track backed by three remixes by Morris, Cedaa, and Nikko. Kid’s original takes some time to get into the swing of things with a 2-minute long intro, which drops […]

Last year the fledgling label left_blank put out three stunning releases from Vessel, Lorca and Visionist and El Kid, and with each the standard was raised for what would follow. The latest effort comes from Russian producer Myown, aka Vtgnike. There isn’t much known about him, but he’s got some mind-bending tracks on Soundcloud, in […]

Last week FADER offered a free download of “Put Cha Back In It” by DJ Sliink, the Brick Bandits collaborator and already-prolific player in the New Jersey club scene. The track was released in anticipation of Sliink’s new Vibrate EP on Jerome Potter (of LOL Boys fame) and Samo Sound Boy’s Body High imprint.  As […]

With new producers popping up on your download list every day, it always takes something special to stand out. Δkkord, or Akkord if your interface can’t handle the Greek alphabet, is an as-yet anonymous collective from Manchester that is obsessed with “minimalism, art, design, mathematics and sacred geometry” – all key facets of beautiful music […]

Around here, a new Pelican Fly release generates a kind of vigorous, anxious enthusiasm that’s only matched by kids on Christmas morning. Since its inauguration last March with Richelle’s Mascotte EP, the Brussels-based label has impressed us time and time again by putting out fresh, original creations that don’t play by anyone’s rules. On his […]

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 […]
