A show that’s been in the making for well over two decades, two hours dedicated to the most minute of the vinyl formats: seven inches! Robbie goes deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox and comes up with a glut of gold from far and wide.

Xylitol :: Anemones (Planet Mu)
I’m really enamored with how Xylitol always manages to merge these two completely unrelated universes, the almost new age aesthetics with the energy and franticness of the breaks, sometimes to a point where they don’t even merge, rather they seem to be playing separately and turn into a completely overwhelming experience.
µ-Ziq :: Grush (Planet Mu)
Presenting an array of emotive tunes that show how delicate and sensible Mike Paradinas’ way of composing music, which not only emanates positive and rather light approaches in music expression, but makes a statement on how electronic music can be graceful and yet intriguing.
V/A :: We Are Reasonable People (Warp) — 26 years later!
A memorable snapshot of an era which many longtime Warp aficionados think of fondly as representing the very pinnacle of the label’s musical prowess, and for anyone wishing to delve further into Warp’s back catalog, a handy list of every WAP (singles and EPs with catalog numbers from 1 to 99) and WARP (albums with catalog numbers from 1 to 55) release up to that time was included inside the compilation’s CD booklet.
Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2023
After covering several hundred releases in 2023, many notables—including links to their respective Igloo reviews or release pages—are cataloged here. As usual, there are no winners or runners-up as the lists are alphabetized by artist and selected tracks are featured on our Soundcloud playlist.
NOT_MDK :: The 140 Album (Wémè)
For this renaissance name, the style has changed: Steady 70/140BPM grime beats now meet IDM and evocative breaks.
Ital Tek :: Timeproof (Planet Mu)
Timeproof simply functions as a gloomy and spacious soundtrack to lost planets thanks to the static fizz-fuzz sounds and bewitching textures that Ital Tek carefully extracts from his machines.
µ-Ziq :: 1977 (Balmat)
Paradinas taps into some early memories for the basis of this new collection of tracks, and it somehow plays out like the score to a narrative born from these memories.
