the original battle 12 was released almost exactly a year ago, but its taken 12 months for them to release henry smithsons astonishing take on the other half of that release. thankfully it was worth the wait. monster wasnt your typical lindstrom production in the first place, but now riton has thoroughly rewired it as a dynamic electronic house circuit, referencing the norwegian disco style with slight choral parts, tight string stings and keyboard arpeggios. the whole effect is very much greater than the sum of these parts, executed as it is with a rigorous attitude

als in den spŠten 80er jahren die ersten outdoor-trance-partys im indischen bundesstaat goa stattfanden, hŠtte niemand gedacht, dass sich dieser trend so lange halten bzw. weiterentwickeln wŸrde. kaum eine andere dance-szene in europa hat ein grš§eres zusammengehšrigkeitsgefŸhl als die goa-szene. hier wird musik und alles, was damit zusammenhŠngt, noch gelebt. zu keinem genre gibt es eine ausgeprŠgtere und besser entwickelte -underground--partyszene, in zahlreichen foren und communities stehen die fans in regem kontakt. stŠndig finden kleinere veranstaltungen statt, und im sommer sind die gro§en festivals und partys wie waldfrieden wonderland, vuuv festival, alice im wummerland oder psy-purgisnacht immer ausverkauft.

wretch 32, real name jermaine scott, is one of the uks most loved mcs - from the underground up. from his early years in londons flourishing grime scene back in the early 00s, the tottenham-raised lyricist has always stood out from the crowd. his conscious and reflective bars, along with an extremely relaxed flow, made him a firm favourite on the uk hip hop circuit. much like tinie tempah, wretch 32 has proved that british mcs can reach the mainstream without selling their soul to pop. the first fruits of this crossover success were tasted in january 2011, when his single traktor broke into the domestic top five following an appearance on the bbc sound ofÉ list. and his second official single, unorthodox, fared even better, peaking at number two in april. so its clear that much has changed since his debut lp of 2008, wretchrospective - but has public recognition come at the expense of what marked wretch 32 out as such a talent in the first place? not at all - on the opening title-track, the rapper lets the listener know that its the same old wretch at work. over a drum-heavy hip hop beat he sets up the rest of the album well, advising everyone to fasten their seatbelts as he prepares to take them on a ride that they wont forget in a hurry. never be me finds wretch delving into his past, opening up about making certain decisions in life that got him to where he is today. featuring rnb newcomer angel on the hook, the track has an inspirational feel to it - all over another impressive, but this time more grime-influenced, beat. a true standout is anniversary, with alex mills on singing duties - its a love song, minus any cheese. then the album lurches into the electro-infused sanes the new mad - a glimpse into wretchs party lifestyle, with ladies and alcohol at the forefront of his attentions. and closer dont go just might be one of the tracks of the year.

boys and diamonds is unmistakably a pop album but also one that comfortably fits in with kompakts long-standing lineage of genre-refracting releases. you will be hard up find another record that cohesively brings to mind siouxsie rubbing elbows with shabba ranks, giorgio moroder sipping daiquiris in bali, desmond dekker envisioned through skittering footwork, tom tom club sitting in with congotronics, even early madonna produced by chris and cosey. unlikely as all of that sounds, rainbow arabia makes it sound easy. mostly recorded at their home studio in echo park, muppet palace, boys and diamonds was written and produced by the couple with help from their friends in los angeles and beyond. drummer/producer extraordinaire butchy fuego (pit er pat, boredoms, mia) contributes arrangements and beats in places, and icy demons dylan ryan plays on the percussion-heavy island shuffle nothin gonna be undone . the album was mixed at the wonderful hobby shop studios in la by mudrock, who also adds some final production touches on the record. the 11 new songs on the album, were also made possible by the encouragement of peers/heroes in la like former ghosts, fool s gold, secret circuit, abe vigoda, and part time punks dj crew. outside of their hometown, they also found support and inspiration from kindred spirits like pictureplane, spoek mathambo, as well as their new home, the ever-illustrious kompakt
