analogue mapping sees meanwhile founder robert lawrence return to production duties as bovill in requisite fashion after a four year absence. in this time lawrence has focused on establishing the london label as a worthy outlet for the deeper echelons of techno with material from murmur, sven weismann, bvdub and conforce. spread luxuriously across two slabs of vinyl, the six tracks allow bovill to make room for soothing, dubby moments that ease you in as well as productions characterised by their driving drum and chord arrangements. see the spine tingling opener so it goes for evidence of the former whilst neap and hunt or herd? provide perfect examples...

again two very talented new faces on dirt crew and a beauty of a record!

as i look to the sky from the surface of the water is the much awaited second album from grit, aka london producer gary brackley and it has found a perfect home on meanwhile. the label is well placed to be an outlet for grits explorations deep into the realm of deep techno, thanks to its standing within the techno community and this album stands tall alongside contributions from the likes of murmur, sven weismann, bvdub and conforce. opening with the expansive title track, grit sets the tone for what to expect with the ripple of syncopation shifting in and out of focus amidst the viscous layers of foggified luminescent ambient texture. across the subsequent five tracks this tone is retained throughout as brackley playfully explores the inventive sparks that arise when rhythm rubs with texture, with the smudged out subaqueous >safer retreat< a real highlight.

with the beautiful melodic sensibility of borais synth lines meshing with octobers jacking body beats, they fuse to create 2 sublime slices of warm, deep, but propulsive blends of slo-mo house, techno, & bass. >i didnt mean to< has a detroit techno soul feel with bukem style bass stabs and rainforest jungle ambient noises, whilst >palmarosa< is a sure-fire set starter, taking its time to build with cavernous bass stabs adding drama until the heads down jacking ensues.

new ep from berlin-based producer, artist, dj and head honcho of catenaccio records, benjamin fehr. this 1 inch highlights his commitment to >groove noir< - fehr s self-defined dark and psychedelic take on electronic music. the lead track, my lover lures the listener in with dark, minimal grooves, perfectly exemplifying fehr s hypnotic sound. the b-side puts the groove in groove noir, thumping out of the gate with a dark kick that builds and builds, punctuated by a single haunting piano key. on the scene since 1993, fehr started out with residencies at well-respected clubs such as robert johnson and the legendary kiosk. he s had a multitude of releases on well known labels, like foundsound, brouqade, lowmidhigh lmtd, tic tac toe, nervmusic, adjunct and many more. 2011 has kept fehr busy with the release of his ep, stay at home and read a book on his own label and upcoming remixes on eminor, nervmusic, suena hermosa, 3117 records, and leet.

focusing on low slung house music full of swing and swagger, jordan peak has a knack for creating raw analogue charm and already encompasses a growing spectrum of sounds. currently in the midst of a speedy ascent through the production ranks, his output already includes an intriguing set of releases, for a uk act, on labels such as robsoul, raum...musik, saved and tsuba. this is quite an introduction to music making, considering that jordan only released his first record in late 2009.

clandestine techno/house imprint, meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, niels luinenberg (delta funktionen) and samuel van dijk (mohlao). the deeply mystical >inward content< session represents the leuwarden sound of their native north holland (also former home to another master of hypnotic repetition ((of the graphic type)), m.c. escher) with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12inches for ann aimee and delsin. the albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldnt call them minimal. the emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of basic channel, convextion and the black dog circa 1995. >inward content< took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why. recommended!

nice price deal !!!

murmur return with a brace of killers, their first new material since mean 011s split release with bovill back in 2008. over the course of the half dozen years since beginning their meanwhile imprint, murmurs output has been so sparing, evanescent, and epitomising the labels low-key approach to steppers house music and horizontal techno with an implicit electronic beatdown sound, that acknowledges their pitched down sound, so heavily influenced by their early south african adventures and exploits.

sam sallon is a hugely talented singer songwriter, whos acoustic-led folk-pop brings to mind legendary uk artists such as nick drake & john martyn, as well as more contemporary artists such as devendra banhart, iron & wine, vetiver, etc. two of the uks finest producers have taken samÆs beautiful, delicate original song and taken it into new territory. leo elstob a.k.a. leo zero transforms samÆs acoustic original into a chugging, footstomping, sing-a-long balearic end-of-night-anthem. think the beatles baby you re a rich man meets the aliens robot man, with a subtle hint of (and donÆt let this put you off) wonderwall! begin is the new recording alias of back ii basics & bugged out resident, chemical brothers tour dj, apprentice fishmonger, and officially funniest man in europe without his own stand-up dvd to sell, james holroyd. james applies that subtle, euphoric begin sound to the mix, which is destined to be the soundtrack to all your sunsets this summer. this is sure to be one of the records of the year
