Recent Releases
For all our vinyl enthusiasts out there, here’s a few slices of wax that have dropped recently that have stood out and been on repeat: Black Light Smoke – Rough Cuts EP [Scissor and Thread] A nice little 4 track EP, jittery vocals that trend a bit dark and eerie. A bit of a dreamy...
James Welsh
Finding James Welsh was a refreshing discovery for me last year (big thanks to the always eclectic and on point Gilles Peterson for putting me onto him through his weekly radio show, now on BBC6). While his debut 12″ on Losing Suki (an imprint of Hypercolour) was his first release under the name James Welsh,...
DJ Koze – Amygdala
The fantastically varied and talented DJ Koze‘s influence has spanned two decades of dancefloors, and his wide array of talents (a technically gifted DJ, incredible selection and knowledge of sound dynamics) are on full display with his latest full length release, Amygdala (out on Pampa Records). Collecting material from nearly 8 years of collaboration and...
Paris Club Music: Volume 1
For all you fans of the big system/big bass sound, featured on labels like Dirtybird and Trouble & Bass, this one is for you. ClekClekBoom Recordings, run by French Fries (so young and so talented already), has assembled a great compilation of heavy hitting jawns oozing the sound of Paris club life and released it with the...
Vibes Ltd
In the recent glut of individually numbered, hand-stamped limited edition white labels, it’s sometimes tough to weed out what is the filler (and lately there has been a fair amount of crap) and what is the mark of quality music. But in light of the market-flood, Vibes Ltd has managed to hit the mark with...

Various Artists – For the Love of Dubs and Edits [Peppermint Jam Records]
Hot off the press as of today, Peppermint Jam Records (Hannover, Germany) has released a pretty dynamic digital-only titled For The Love of Dubs and Edits. With three main tracks from regular label contributors Ferry Ultra and Autodeep, several quality remixers from outside have come in and given their takes.

Bambounou – Full Of Feelings [50WEAPONS026]
Bambounou’s latest release, Full of Feelings, out on the rapidly expanding 50WEAPONS (an imprint of Monkeytown Records, which is run by Modeselektor), is an excellent follow up to his stellar full length debut, Orbiting, which dropped late last year – also on 50WEAPONS. It features some heavy basslines, piercing snares, and floating melodies. All three...

Maxmillion Dunbar, one half of Beautiful Swimmers, and co-head of Future Times records (which will get their own post soon, I promise!), released his second album this year, House of Woo. The album has a beautiful aura around it, weaving between dreamy, floating atmospheric vibes and heavy hitting, well crafted beats. There are parts that...
Elgato – Dunkel Jam
Elgato, who just recently was in Brooklyn for his North American debut (Dissolve at Cameo Gallery), possesses a mysterious sound. Living quite comfortably amongst the unique and sub heavy artists on Hessle Audio, Ben UFO has gone so far as to name Elgato as his favorite DJ to see live, which is high praise coming...

Night Slugs latest release comes from L-Vis 1990. One track from the EP, Ballad 4D, has been affectionately dubbed the ‘submarine’ track by many eager for its release.
