focusing on a rich blueprint, with echoes of chicago house, detroit techno, and uk ambient techno flowing through its futuristic core, donnacha explores further his love for deep, hypnotising grooves, rich synth themes and emotive harmonies. colour in sound, space and clarity are at the centre of the wonderful production found in every track.

nick chaconas debut album has been a long time in the coming,the distillation of a decade of recording and producing for some of the worlds leading electronic music labels.but it has certainly been worth the wait as he teams up with the highly respected moodmusic for the release of >love in the middle<, a collection of soul soaring and inspiring cuts that blur the imposed genre lines into non existence.

>we are proud of our choices< is a delightful listen in every sensibility and truly brings his artistic talent as a dj and producer together in a very personal mix. we certainly hope you enjoy this landmark addition to our series as much as we do and leave you with ewan pearsons own words about his mix

back in 2000 the herbaliser self-released their highly acclaimed double-vinyl album session 1: taking key tracks from previous albums and re-recording them in their purest form, expanding them, without vocals or lyrics this is an excellent representation of the bands live show at that time.

the debut album from charlie alex march is a wonderfully melodic and satisfying affair, gloriously english in a non sniffy manner, like tea and crumpets or a stroll on an autumn day. like a soft collision between aphex twin at his most melodic, nick drake at his string soaked finest or some hybrid of steve reich and syd barrett scoring a tim burton movie, the music of charlie march has a lingering, delicate beauty that will be around for a long time.

this summer beni will continue to reign the dancefloor supreme with a new monster slab of black plastic, maximus featuring vocals from the mighty sam sparro. who put the fun in acid-funk you ask? the answer is: beni did. a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, maximus marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your ear with a very purple vocal performance by sparro to devastating effect. the resulting track is something akin to kiss-era prince and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns down around them. on the flipside beni and nicky night time give maximus a night-time re-dub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk freak and towards a straighter slammer jammer, favouring blatant dancefloor manipulation over the subtle and the sexy. also featured (and included on the next kitsune maison 7 installment) is fringe element, which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, fringe element caps off another compelling chapter in benis lifelong voyage through dance. after the cover of his first ep my love sees you made by geneviíve gauckler, his new 12 is illustrated by french artist andre.

musical aesthete, superstar dj, fashion icon and underground idol Ð tiga is ready to refresh your palette with a sublime collection of tunes aimed sometimes at your heart, sometimes at your head and very often at your feet and the raging clubber within you.he dropped louder than the bomb on us, we have danced to his fabulous version of hot in here, mouthed the words to >sunglasses at night<, got up to all sorts of misbehaviour to >you gonna want me< and he delivered a work of beauty with his last album >sexor<.now tiga is giving us a whole new set to enjoy with >ciao!< Ð which includes >shoes< Ð a hymn to his 3 favourite things, shoes, hair and gloves, luxury, a tale of opulent consumerism and a 10 minute modern disco extravaganza entitled >love donÕt dance here anymore< - countered with the club bangers >what you want< and >mind dimension 2< which will send you spinning into orbit. with collaborations from the likes of soulwax, jesper dahlback, gonzales, jori hulkonnen, jake shears and james murphy, itÕs a riot.of the writing process tiga explains, i thought this would primarily entail aging sheet music with teabags, but i quickly learned otherwise. itÕs ultimately a matter of trusting yourself, of having the courage to say, these are the times, and these are the rhymes.

martyn needs no introduction and his p-funk inspired melody and bassline provide another entirely fresh take on the deliciously broken rhythms we have come to love from him. we thought it only fitting that we should try and get a different take on lee jones’s ‘aria’ for the project, as it has been the most in demand single from the first 20 releases on aus.

exile began his musical career in 2000, releasing drum & bass on labels such as beta and moving shadow, but as the years progressed, his sound started to become more complicated and abstract. this was mostly due to his obsession with the reaktor software, which enabled him to spend much of his time creating new and interesting sounds from scratch. his debut full-length, 2006s pro agonist, saw him add elements of breakcore to his constantly mutating yper-breakbeats, but that gradual change in style is nothing compared to the total departure that hes taken on listening tree. long-term fans may be shocked to know that listening tree is peppered with exiles own vocal tracks, as he tackles issues such as britains buy-now-pay-later culture, and even the dynamic nature of the universe on family galaxy, the first single. >family galaxy< is about the constant process of change that underpins everything, explains exile. its a tale from a thingless world where nothing stays the same. as now shines its shifting shades on then, so our ideas of what we have done and will do continually morph.the result is an eccentric electro-pop album that is just as likely to appeal to fans of hot chip as it is otto von schirach

extra life is a new york-based band led by guitarist/ vocalist/ composer charlie looker, a core member of the noise/chamber group zs and collaborator for dirty projectors, john zorn, william parker and john zorn. formed in 2007, extra life combines elements of dark romantic pop a-la bowies berlin period, aggressive math rock a-la slint, modern classical compositions and medieval vocal music, which the album title, secular works, refers to. secular works is without a doubt one of the most unique albums weve ever heard. it is challenging and rewarding, complex but melodic, intellectual but within reach. for fans of xiu xiu, dirty projectors, the dead science and sun city girls.

incl. hot remixes by claude monnet!
