Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

Puresque: Vor Leitmotiv EP (Tresor) If any label knows techno inside and out, it’s Tresor. After all, the Berlin powerhouse has been a mainstay in the techno community and largely responsible...

Eprom: Feldspar (Leisure System) Nasty, squelchy fun from Alexander Dennis on this two-tracker EP. “Feldspar” is a woozy intersection of a four-to-the-floor club banger with...

Mark Broom & James Ruskin: Night Nurse EP (Beard Man) The leading track on this EP is so perfectly named that it nearly makes me laugh out loud. “Pigeon” features a...

Schleppstigg: Up In The Weeds (Areal) It’s been a while since I’ve checked out new material on Areal, and I’m glad I did in this case. I know nothing about Schleppstigg,...

Bloodman: Mars I (Deca Rhythm) “Monuments of Mars” is a slick, extended dancefloor track that bridges that gap between techno and post-dubstep/dub-tech/whatever you want to...

Jumberlack & The Cobra: I Want a Dog EP (FREE download!) Charles Fenech of AngelTheory and I have been collaborating on cover versions under the name Jumberlack & The Cobra since...

Guy Andrews: Shades/Textures (Hemlock) These two syncopated, percussive post-dubstep tracks from Andrews deliver the goods on the ever-reliable Hemlock imprint. His clattering, crisp...

Kowton: Dirty Little Bomb (Teal Recordings) The original on the A-side of this single is a slower tempo deep tech house track. Its syncopated sounds remind me of old Wax Trax tracks (think...

Sigha: I Am Apathy, I Am Submission (Blueprint) No nonsense techno from James Shaw, sprawled out over the span of 3 minimal workouts. Each of them plugs away at a steady clip, nothing too...

Carsten Jost & Lawrence: A Greater Administration of Lower Interests (Dial) Dial mainstays Carsten Jost (né David Lieske) and Lawrence team up with a new exclusive track each on this...

John Tejada & Justin Maxwell: Not That, But This (Trapez) Really slick and understated minimal tech house glitcher from Tejada & Maxwell here. Despite being highly tweaked and...

Blawan: Bohla (R&S) Blawan: What You Do With What You Have (R&S) Blawan’s made a splash on R&S this year with not one but two really great 12" releases. The first,...

Nautiluss: Ultraviolet/Bleu Monday (Hemlock) Ultra-cool combo of two-step and pop on this odd 2-track EP on Hemlock. The title cut is a dreamy pop tune with vocals by Lord Skywave a.k.a....
