Our love for L.I.E.S. should be apparent at this point, but just in case we haven’t fully transmitted it to you here’s another attempt. This would usually be the part where we’d give you a little background on the artist, but as you’d expect this is Torn Hawk’s first release. All we know for certain […]

There’s a touch of the epic in DjRUM’s productions. That’s no surprise to anyone who heard “Mountains”, his breathtaking set of 12s on 2nd Drop last year, or his astonishing mix for Resident Advisor some months back. One of the standout tracks of that mix was a sort of rework of “Undercoat”, the opening track […]

It’s through the final ten minutes of George FitzGerald’s relentlessly charming mixtape for XLR8R that we only recently stumbled upon the breathtaking sounds of Lord of the Isles, and we’re glad to have done so better late than never. The versatility displayed in this fairly mystical Scottish producer’s body of work is rather remarkable, with […]

Koreless, one of Pictures Music’s poster children, hooked us on his vowel concentrated samples and relatively beatless tracks from day one. His music immediately creates a dense and almost meditative environment yet it’s absolutely club music. After making a splash in early 2011 with his 12” debut “4D” he stepped out of the spotlight, only […]

It’s been nearly a year since we (belatedly) wrote about SertOne’s wonderful “The View From Above” EP on Melted Music. In the intervening twelve months your boy has put out a compilation just cause he could, dropped a Dilla tribute EP and gone touring around Ireland with the Lightbox crew, not to mention a heap […]

It’s more than just the communal energy of a packed dance floor. And it’s certainly more than just an alcohol-induced compulsion to let loose and move. On a fundamental level, whether biological […]

Nottingham based Mimm might still be in it’s infancy when it comes to releasing music as a record label but they’ve been steadily grinding hard through other means for a while now. Located in the heart of Hockley, their resume includes putting on numerous music events, art exhibitions and pushing their own unique style of […]

There’s no denying that Scuba’s “Personality” was a milestone not only for the man himself, but also for Hotflush Recordings. In a way it completed the label’s transformation from fringe dubstep label to purveyors of techno, garage influenced house and everything in between. Keeping in line with their recent output they’ve enlisted Recondite, whose “On […]

“Idoru” is the title of both the latest Jon Convex EP and a book released in 1996 by science fiction writer William Gibson. Gibson’s novel describes a man, Rez, who wants to marry an artificial intelligence pop idol, Rei, who runs on a composite database consisting of information about all pop idols. Convex’s EP has […]
