It was in the first quarter of 2011 that Thomas Cox, of Infinite State Machine fame, teamed up with fellow producers Adam Ratana and Preslav Lefterov to release a debut record under their newfound Pittsburgh Track Authority moniker.  With a comprehensive knowledge of house and techno that spans three brains, the trio were able to […]

Review: Jacob Korn – You & Me

Antithetical to the concise aesthetic statements found across well-rehearsed 12”s, the full length LP is dangerous territory for most producers. Having to spread the kinesis of a taut club track across 60 minutes without exhausting the listener is difficult. Relying on the usual compositional techniques transforms potent ideas into islands in an uninviting sea of […]

Recommended: Recondite – DRGN / Wist 365

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 […]

It’s been a few months since we last checked in with B.YRSLF division, the ever-evolving French label that’s been pushing an innovative, global-minded agenda since its inception just over two years ago.

Five Mixes Are Better Than One Pt. XII

It’s been just over a year since LA collective Fade to Mind inaugurated the launch of their label with a mix from label co-founder Prince William. At this time last year, it would have been nearly impossible to predict the omnidirectional explosion of the American club music scene into new strongholds like Kansas, Texas, or Oregon. […]

Truancy Volume 52: Nautiluss

There’s no denying Canada has brought us more than a fair share of musical talent in the past couple of years. Be it the blissful and unadulterated sounds of Ryan Hemsworth to the more left-field dance floor movers of Kevin Mcphee, the amount of flourishing talent from an array of backgrounds has been an extremely […]
