Severence :: Mensch 003 (Mensch)
This is chilling material, haunting and lonesome. An album of introspection, of reflection and rich textures. In the age of glass and sleekness it’s interesting […]
DimDJ :: DimDJ TH04 (TH ± Tar Hallow)
True the ferocity of past releases is present, caustic chords and raucous rhythms, but there’s also a hint of something less vicious. Tender moments, respites […]
Marge and the Marvellous :: Distant Dance (No More Pop)
No More Pop is an oasis, an island amidst a sea of darker re-issues, an island of dulcet synth pop and cloudless skies. Bright and […]
Prosopo :: Prosopo (Lux Rec)
Sitting somewhere between drone, industrial and wave, the 12” has a blighted and bitter character. The recent release of R.R. Hearse’s Call Of Oedipus (1981 […]
E.R.P. :: Ancient Lights (Solar One Music)
Buttressing electronica with stripped rhythms, E.R.P. creates warm and vivid soundscapes as The Exaltics add some extra thrust for the floor. The Hubble Telescope Series […]
Sync 24 & Silicon Scally :: Jack Out EP (Cultivated Electronics)
Beats are cutting, slicing through thick banks of bass. Shockwaves ripple through speakers as the duo sharpen melodies into razor blade peaks. I was perusing […]

There’s a revival of techno in Italy and Lamanna, and like-minded musicians, are at the coal face. Psychological, at times bordering on serpentine, a deep […]
Red Stars Over Tokyo :: Deconstructing Happiness (Testtoon)
Contrasts melt, comparisons jar as a strange sense of composition is somehow maintained in this immensely absorbing album. Jeroen Lauwers is a staple of Testtoon […]
Endfest / Layup :: Double Review (Endless Illusion)
Looking over Endless Illusion’s back catalog it’s fair to say that the label took educated risks with its first vinyl outings. This latest pair, lesser […]
R.R. Hearse :: Call Of Oedipus (1981 – 2013) (June)
R.R. Hearse fits into no category previously explored. Grainy, it’s a record that some will find difficult to grapple with. Nevertheless it’s a bold move […]
