Diligent in design whilst playful throughout, we think this will certainly turn heads for fans of early Warp and Rephlex. Don’t sleep on this one!

The Jaffa Kid :: The Jaffa Kid EP (Cold Blow)
Throughout, Pringle’s love of classic Rephlex electronics is plain to hear. But, this isn’t pastiche. What The Jaffa Kid does is reimagine those wonderfully rough and refined sounds and breathes new life and energy into them.
Lav :: A New Landscape (Past Inside The Present)
While not exactly minimal, (as the songs sound quite large) the tracks are somewhat stripped back and given lots of breathing room within themselves, utilizing a less is more approach with great effect.
Boxheater Jackson :: We Are One (Mighty Force)
Reminiscent of early acid house, Burns prefers to stick to acid lines that make people dance, and that’s where he’s unlike many of his contemporaries at the moment,
Hexalyne :: Null Surfaces (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Hexalyne has mountaineered IDM’s varied peaks and valleys, standing apart as one of the leaders in the experimental electronic scene, and one we continue to look forward to discovering.

Five musicians at the top of their craft, creating the most blistered and fractured electro-nics this side of the Galaxy as Almost Everywhere provides the latest in their quest to dominate the low-end frequency spectrum.

Mono Junk :: Iäti (Cold Blow)
Electro and techno are at the EP’s heart, yet there are also flourishes of electronica embedded alongside the use of voice.
Cathode Ray Tube :: The Burning Century EP (Triplicate)
The Burning Century gathers and distills, shifts and rattles, yet somehow manages to seep into the subconscious.
XZICD :: XZICD (Self Released)
XZICD is heavily focused on the meaning of memories, dreams, family bonds and if these are truly the characteristics which shapes us, all under a narrative thread that follows the album from beginning to end.
4T Thieves :: The Vinyl Loop (Pingdiscs)
Overall, The Vinyl Loop is a breath of fresh air as it brings the ambient genre into an area that is specific; not too esoteric, but not too beat-heavy. It all seems deliberate and balanced in my ears.
