Pearson Sound: Untitled (Pearson Sound) One-off from post-dubstep-what-have-you producer David Kennedy, also known as Ramadanman. Pearson Sound has always struck me as more percussive and...

ASC: The Gradient Project (Auxiliary) Three tracks of four-to-the-floor goodness from prolific and diverse producer ASC on his own Auxiliary label. He’s been unstoppable lately...

Fluxion: Traces (Echocord) Anyone familiar with Fluxion or Echocord should know roughly what to expect here. Post Basic Channel dubby techno, buoyant and minimal, nothing too abrasive or...

C.L.A.W.S.: Cave In (Discaire) “Cave In” is a really handsome piece of late night techy house that continues to deliver as it evolves. I’m partial to the de-tuned synth...

Donor/Truss: Endo (Perc Trax) Perc’s label is pretty no-nonsense when it comes to dark, minimal techno. Even the artwork is stripped down, just handwritten artist/title/catalog...

Jurek Przezdziecki: Biscuit Symphony (Definition Records) This digital-only release from Polish producer Jurek (aka Jerzy) Przezdziecki is a handsome collection of well-crafted, bustling...

Claro Intelecto: Second Blood (Delsin) This new EP from the talented producer Mark Stewart is worth it just for the A1, “Second Blood.” At first you might wonder if it’s...

Objekt: Cactus / Porcupine (Hessle Audio) Objekt’s combination of all things dubstep, house, techno and more has made him a bit of a hot commodity in the UK bass music scene. These...
