Continuing a musical style inhabiting acidic sci-fi techno and dark-side Detroit leanings, Posthuman return with the five track Nebula EP on Acroplane plus a follow up remix selection from Datasette, Kirk Degiorgio, Nightwave and Boxcutter (under Planet Mu pseudonym The Host). With a discography going back to 2000, a rave CV that covers club nights [...]

wAgAwAgA :: Midnight Sampler (Record Label Records)
wAgAwAgA has an unusual take on music, with deep basses, really interesting beats and odd field recordings in abundance. He instantly stands out as having a unique style—not aggressive but not altogether passive. Innovative but not leaving the familiar completely in the shadows. I’ve been a fan of wAgAwAgA for a while now, ever since [...]

Patscan :: Mollycoddlers EP (Acroplane)
Mollycoddlers is one of those releases that doesn’t attempt to be the life of the party with gimmicks and tricks. It is more interested in bringing the goods via the way of well-crafted songs full of off-kilter melodics and solid beats. Patscan (aka Pat Hime) Mollycoddlers is one of those releases that doesn’t attempt to [...]
Voltek :: Power Tools (Acroplane)
Voltek has produced a wonderfully schizophrenic release with Power Tools; even though the tracks touch of a myriad of genres, they are all very solid in their own right. Power Tools is a musical mixing pot; an album that refuses to stick to one genre throughout and starts off with two ambient pieces, “Hz_Volt” and [...]
Ruby My Dear :: Ginkgo EP (Acroplane)
The melodic elements are primarily of a sampled nature and cover quite a bit of territory; Reggae, Hip-hop, Classical, and even some Opera samples are all bashed into each other (sometimes within the same track). Despite the chaos and disparate elements, the tracks do somehow fit together quite well as a whole. [Listen |Purchase] Subtlety [...]

Released on their for free portion of this label to avoid the licensing nightmare, the tracks [...]
wAgAwAgA :: Hyper Typewriter (Acroplane)
With wAgA’s insistence on producing some delicious acid basslines, he will inevitably draw comparison with the mighty Squarepusher at times, not that this is at all meant as a slur – he’s simply taking these famous and often overused sounds in his own inimitable direction, with more dub sensibilities thrown in for good measure. [Listen] [...]
Somatic Responses :: Clone Aware (Acroplane)
All of the tones used are unique and very deeply processed; one would liken it to an alien life form trying to interpret the music of earth, pulling in the elements that make sense to it and then spitting it out using its own language and technology. The prolific Somatic Responses (click here for Igloo [...]
SOMATIC RESPONSES :: Electronic deconstruction
Robert Galbraith exchanges a few words with John and Paul Healy, also known as Somatic Responses, and engages thoughts on composition process’, the art of collaborating together, software, hardware, vinyl vs. digital, and their past, current and future projects. (November 2010) SOMATIC RESPONSES are a name that should need no introduction to fans of electronic [...]
