john heckle (undisputed king of da real scouse house and fast becoming one of the most prolific young techno producers from the uk) deviates ever so slighty from his trademark sound to paddle his little raft down the mersey and run wild with the wolves. the result is epic and mystic (and 100% organic) and opens a doorway into a mythical world of wicker men, hill figures, druids, witch covens and early 90s sunrises off the m25, when ever-e-thing seemed possible. excellent new artwork as well by godspill, who is also into naked chicks that float and stuff. a deadly combination!

back in the 90s orlando voorn was one of the first european producers to establish the bridge between detroit & europe. with countless releases on classic labels like kms, r&s records, clubstitute, international deejay gigolo, ignitor and esp records to name a few, voorn is a important name in the history of electronic music.

dva started off hyperdubs barrage of albums in 2012 with his brilliant >pretty ugly<, and now closes the the year with the >fly juice< eps bumper selection of machine tooled tracks, each created for optimum dancefloor damage and road tested by dva, kode9 and a select bunch of djs. these tracks are a brilliant example of what he has been describing as power house for a while, a colourful chunky techno sound that switches up every 8 bars like grime and has plenty of shuffle and offbeat swing as a counterpoint to the 4/4 drums.

a rare chance to get hold of two of pop legend princes most sought-after dancefloor bombs on one slab of 12 inch vinyl. this great remastered reissue features the super-rare long versions of both >sexy dancer< and >controversy<. both originally only available as limited promos, these awesome extended versions went on to become underground club classics receiving heavy rotation from the likes of larry levan and ron hardy amongst many others.

it has been four long years since glissando released the critically acclaimed >with our arms wide open we march towards the burning sea< and the duo finally return this november with a new record >the world without us<. the new material bares glissandos trademark of ethereal voices and tip-toing piano melodies but the overall sound is richer and more expansive. epic swells of strings and guitars sore above the drones and field recordings to create an intense yet fragile noise. this lp is a highly limited deluxe package of just 300 copies, including code for free mp3 download of the full album.

the human experience ep from jamal moss is the 8th 12 inch from this highly coveted and limited imprint. how wet is your box starts with a great distorted & chaotic synth line & is followed by siddhartha (part 1). flip it for long live the flesh & the title track. hand stamped & limited to 300 copies.

the layabouts are anything but. 2012 marks leigh darlow and alex paschalis 10th year together and they have never been so in form or demand. their cast iron reputation for quality deep soulful house – house music forged with feeling and real purpose – continues, impressively, to grow.
rhythm master darlow and guitarist cum orchestrator paschali first met in 2001– in home city london – off the back of various projects in the same studio space. in time, their mutual love of expressive house music would lead to cult licks feelin right and the way i feel, sizzling material for kenny dope gonzalez and hot-to-trot remixes of dj spinna, da lata, dj spen and robert owens, and soulsearcher.

for now is the second ep by brooklyn duo beacon, five songs that continue the bands exploration of the dark spaces under the surface of human relationships. as with the bands debut ep no body, for now is a record that conceals a great deal of depth beneath a melodic veneer— again, there is a stark contrast between thomas mullarneys honeyed vocals and the words he is singing, although this time the mood is perhaps less sinister and more reflective.

the fact that they are the hottest band in the buzzing spanish independent music scene in itself may not be enough to stop the presses, nor are all the comparisions to the black keys or the band citing motorhead as their main influence. its hard to break into the crowded new band scene, but let us give you a piece of advice before deciding who should stop the presses - just sit and listen to the album first.
