Review: Eclectic Belgian label Meakusma serve up more strange delights that they're fast becoming known for. Georgia are Brian Close and Justin Tripp who work out of their studio in Chinatown, NYC. They released the album Like Comments earlier this year and Like Comment Comments, naturally, is the remix-driven accompaniment. There are some truly inventive takes featured here by a stellar cast. DFA's Bryce Hackford serves up a nice deep house revision of "Nu Way Heat", NYC's RVNG INT'L deliver a harsh and hard hitting digi dub chugger on the remix of "Abstrackt High" plus two new tracks by Georgia themselves. "Bridge 1" and "Bridge 2" continue on with their oddball cinematic vibes as heard on the album and perfect for those chill out moments.

Review: The Diskant label has been among our favourites over the last three years and its boss men, The Durian Brothers, are without doubt some of the most interesting producers alive right now. This is because they play with the genre, they merely use it as a base for their tribalistic rhythms to grow and land on different, much more cinematic territories. This time, side A is helmed by like-minded producer High Wolf, who delivers a nutty, tropical kind of waver on "ARA13", and an even more tripped-out set of jungle hypnotics through "Theorem 86". The Brothers jump in on the flip with the gloriously dubby and steely rhythm of "Mathematique" - the sure winner on here - and the more broken, more abstract pile of drums and hollow bass that makes up "Flustertute". Excellent, as always.

Review: According to Beating Heart, Hugh Tracey made several thousand field recordings across Sub-Saharan Africa between the 1920s and 1970s. His intention was to 'reveal the beauty and complexity of the music to a world that saw little value in it.' Fast forward to the present day, Tracey's bid to preserve the music of Africa for future generations lives on. Beating Heart has shared the late Tracey's archive at the International Library of African Music (ILAM) with contemporary producers and keeping in line with Tracey's vision, all proceeds will be used to assist people in the areas where the music was originally recorded. London's Throwing Shade, fresh of a great release for Ninja Tune turns in the vivid and polyrhythmic 'Dream Scene", Hotflush's Machinedrum gives us the intense polyrhythmic Sub Saharan trance induction of "Lewasi" while Ibibio Sound Machine gives us the soul-funk boogie of "Amai Ndiwulule".

Review: Multi-Culti has invited us to join their "Calypso Cult", a shadowy musical organization with two named leaders. First to set out their tropical pagan manifesto is Mexican maverick Inigo Vontier. He first layers trippy, dubbed-out spoken word snippets and whistling synth lines atop a chugging arpeggio groove on "Jubile Is OK", before reaching for the hand percussion, dark electronics and weird noises on heavyweight throb-job "Masicka". Fellow cult leading light Thomass Jackson steps up to the podium on side B. His message is a little hazier and more spaced out, with the hypnotic eccentricity that is "El HiHat" being followed by "Naive Song In E Minor", a wonderful combination of undulating melodies, locked-in tropical percussion and feverish Balearic flourishes.

Jamie XX - "Sunrise"
Four Tet - "Dew"
Koreless - "Horizon"
John Talabot - "Aim"
Review: As part of the mandatory Record Store Day celebrations, Young Turks pull together productions from Jamie XX, Four Tet, Koreless, and John Talabot for a limited 7" release. The more attentive followers of Young Turks will know the music here originates from a commission by artists Sofi Mattioli and Rebecca Salvadori who enlisted the four to provide short compositions for their film Continuum. The two minute productions were available to download for free at the time, but Young Turks obviously felt there was an audience out there that would want the music in a more tangible, and collectible, format. Of the four, it's the rather epic "Horizon" from Koreless that hits the hardest.

Meeting Point (hand-numbered 12" in hand-painted sleeve limited to 250 copies)
Cat: MP 001. Rel: 29 Jun 22
Broken Beat/Nu Jazz/Nu Soul
Review: Meeting Point bring us four slices of moody but musical experiments from the point at which broken beat and bass culture meet. The slow motion of skeletal skank of 'Brass Beat' shows that the duo are capable of tempting plenty of character out of their machines, while 'Morning Air', with its highly pitched synth glories and stop start drums, also show they're not in the least bit bothered about fitting into existing genre frameworks. Fascinating stuff.

Review: Following up two volumes in the Sextant various artist EP series, the enigmatic Tachyon makes their full proper EP debut here on Swiss imprint Unruh. 'Fried' is very much an advanced take on the minimal techno sound and will effectively warp minds at the afterhour, followed by the mutant electro textures of 'PCM' (dub). Over on the flip, the icy and spatial 'Traffic' takes its cues as much from 2-step as dub techno, followed by the eerie twilight beats of 'Late Chatter'. Tip!

Review: One of the only positives to come from the difficult last year and all the various lockdowns is the music that has been made. A case in point is this project from Tactil, a new project from Madrid artists Kawn and F-on. They are responsible for the fourth Antimatter release, which is heavily inspired by deep dub technicians from the 90s like Gas and Porter Ricks. The four tunes are hugely immersive, widescreen and atmospheric and has subtly evolving rhythms, modulated synth details and an eerie mood thanks to the various delays, reverbs and LFO modulations strung out in each tune.

Review: To mark the 50th anniversary of their 1974 live performance, this special Record Store Day Black Friday release on transparent blue and yellow vinyl offers up Tangerine Dream's iconic lineup of Froese, Franke and Baumann. Never before released on wax, this show is recognised as a pivotal moment in their career and perfectly demonstrates their mastery of live, complex soundscapes. The release includes an additional live bonus track, detailed liner notes and a remastered edition by Tangerine Dream historian Wouter Bessels.

Review: Three years after making her debut on Sounds of Beaubien West with the deep and dreamy Agua Congas EP, Paula Tape returns with her first vinyl outing since. This time round she's in collaboration with Italo-disco/Italo-house revivalist - and Alzaya Records co-founder - Volantis. 'Octava Dimension' is pleasingly thrusting and druggy affair, with the Chilean's breathy vocals and an ear-catching lead line working in perfect unison with a tough, Italo-disco style bassline and jacking machine drums. Over on the flip, Elias Mazian re-imagines the track as a tactile, early '90s deep house treat, while Tornado Wallace lays down an even deeper, dreamier revision built around a lovely bassline, heady stabs and off-kilter, post-electro beats.

Review: Jackson Bailey AKA Tapes has long been able to producer masterful, memorable music with some of the cheapest-sounding electronic equipment around. He's at it again on 'Sauna Research', a picturesque and ultra-deep fusion of slow-motion dub and bittersweet electronica that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face despite the melancholic nature of the track's drifting synthesizer chords. He continues in a similar vein on the slightly more squelchy flipside 'Aquarium Trousers', where lilting lead lines and immersive chords bubble away atop a lo-fi drum machine beat and tactile, electrofunk-influenced synth bassline. These won't hang around for long, so grab one while you can.

Review: Sometime Jahtari and Sex Tags sort Tapes (real name Jackson Bailey) is on fine form on this tidy ten-inch for Japanese imprint EM Records. "Summer Jam" more than lives up to its title, with the on-point producer peppering a rich, analogue-heavy electronic rhythm track with lo-fi sounding synthesizer flute solos and cheery, sun-kissed melodies. His digi-dub roots come further to the fore on undulating, delay-laden flipside "Salavere", where echoing electronic melodies seemingly drift above a sparse, clicking drum machine rhythm track. It too is rather fine, albeit in a deeper, woozier and altogether more spaced-out way. In a word: ace.

Review: Tuck in your napkin and get seated comfortably for six plates of delicious broken beat and nu jazz funk from Tapes on the small but already well-formed Mida label. These superbly cosmic studies in sound are packed with finely tuned frequencies, cymbals and drums, silky spacecraft arps, video game sounds and playful keys that scatter through arrangements to trippy effect. All of that is underpinned by the sort of hefty low end that locks you in and the whole thing is an ever-shifting sound world that sounds both ancient yet futuristic. Sublime.

Review: Carla Dal Forno and Tarquin Manek together are Tarcar and they're here to sign off another winner of a year from the now cult-like Blackest Ever Black label. There isn't much that BEB haven't deserved a medal for, and they have yet again amazed us with their ludicrously on-point artistic repertoire! Mince Glace is a true thing of beauty, an album which doesn't give a damn about genres or styles, but instead travels the treacherous paths between noise, drone, dub and pretty much any other genre of music! In our opinion, the nuttiest cit on here has to be "Emboldened" for it wavy jazz edge and far-out melodies, but be sure to also check out "Fireball" for a real spin down the wormhole. Lovely stuff from both label and artists. Don't miss it.

Review: The mysterious German outfit Tase return on Atelier for one of their occasional rounds of outer limits electro experiments. While their last record took the template of house and created their own warped lo-fi impression of it, this record is frankly beyond categorization. "Eyes" takes electro drum patterns and warm house chords and puts them through a thresher, while "Security" on the flip places a beatless washing machine pulse atop a barely audible monologue which must be heard to be believed.

Review: Lauri Reponen is Teakup, an electronic artist based in Columbus, Ohio who has dropped only two EPs before now - one in 2018 and one in 2002. He now steps out with his own self-titled new label and an impressive first release that shows off his artful take on techno. 'Vapor Or Floating Stone' opens up with broken beats and clattering sounds next to light, suspensory chords that bring calm to the chaos. 'Sublimation Station' again pairs busy, whirring machine sounds with lush synths that contrast nicely and 'Phase Loss & Pad' has glitchy broken beats and churning metallic texture under light-emitting synth work through which a rhythm eventually appears. Closer 'Soul Recovery Beat' completes this inventive EP with more deft designs.

Review: Vodkast Records continues to put a focus on Georgian musicians here with a new EP composed and performed by Tedi, while Zesknel also offers up three remixes. These are experimental sounds from the word go: 'Peru' is all fizzing textures and live jazz drums with moody spoken words, 'Upper Manuality' is a raw techno stomper with a sense of dystopian menace and 'Saturn' is a lithe, dubby and deep space techno interlude. 'Detunator' brings curious, clean synth modulations and shuffling rhythms. The remixes all bring dark energy and otherworldly motifs.

Review: Despite her off-kilter indie-pop roots, Tentenko's releases have been getting increasingly abstract and experimental over the last decade. An Antworten, her first release of any sort for three years, continues this trend, offering unique blends of wayward IDM rhythms, hypnotic techno grooves, eight-bit electronics and analogue noise. The EP boasts two out-there original tracks - the industrial loop-techno eccentricity of 'Mizu Iro' and the broken Sinclair spectrum flex of 'Ki-Iro' - which are then interpreted by other artists on the flip. Tolouse Low Trax steals the show with a version that wraps Tentenko's odd and intriguing electronics around deep space bass and head-nodding post-hip-hop beats, while Nika Son's interpretation of 'Mizu-Iro' is a loopy, hypnotic ambient treat.

Review: Nico Jaar is evidently enjoying juggling his own creative urges with the responsibilities of running Other People, with the label's latest transmission a most daring experiment indeed. Under the banner Terepa, NHK'Koyxen called on Rashad Becker, Laurel Halo, Julia Holter, Charlotte Collin, Lucrecia Dalt and Gregoire Simon to join him in an international improvised recording session. These two 20 minute sessions were conducted without any form of communication with the results layered and mixed by NHK'Koyxen into the two pieces presented here. Despite the number of people involved there is a remarkable serenity to opening composition "28th October 2014" whilst "8th August 2014" is more redolent of the abstract noise one expects when Becker and NHK'Koyxen are involved. A most interesting sonic endeavour.

Review: After the absolute devastation of Nancy's Pantry it's all eyes on Tessela to see how he follows up that particular monster of a release on R&S. The chances are if you've been on a dancefloor commanded by one of the edgier bass-orientated spinners of late you will have heard "Rough 2" laying waste with its killer staggered snare hook, lurid synth line and bludgeoning bass thrusts. "Butchwax" takes a less pronounced approach with a jagged approach to sample triggering that calls to mind Art Of Noise, and then "C'mon Let's Slow Dance" weirds the whole EP out with some fringe electronics that try desperately to cling on to a beat.

Review: The Tetine trio started writing and composing together in the lockdowns of 2020 - no doubt observing all the arcane rules about hands, face and space as they did so. They have an intuitive style that now translates to this record which was written for cello, voice, piano, organ and electronics and was born as "a respiratory, meditative, and improvisatory piece of DIY tropical-mutant-punk "chamber music". They have succeeded in their mission to subvert here with plenty of subtle background sounds bleeding in from the nearby street as themes such as hearing loss, menopause, pollution and respiration all come up.

Review: Continuing Bliq's quest to unearth the most spooky and otherworldly techno and deep house fodder out there, Thingamajicks step into the spotlight with a staggeringly confident first release that touches on a range of moods without even a hint of trepidation. "Priceless" is a slow, stark exercise in 4/4 melancholia focused on dramatic swells of chord rather than anything percussive. "Sub Rosa X" goes even further out into an immersive swarm of analogue electronics loping in a reluctant groove, the sounds swaying as though they are without an anchor, and then when you least expect it the title track takes a massive swerve towards lackadaisical guitar chords and breezy optimism.

Review: Last year, shadowy producer Third Space debuted on Nice Setting via an EP packed to the rafters with ear-pleasing fusions of ambient and IDM. There's a slightly different feel to this follow-up on Aussie imprint Pure Space Recordings, though the mystery man's love of mind-bending electronics and unusual melodies remains. Over the course of four rock solid tracks, the Melbourne-based studio buff flits between metallic, sub-heavy experimental drum & bass ('170 Shitshow'); treacle-thick ambient techno/post-dubstep fusion ('Pushing Delay Mod'); dystopian IDM darkness (the moody rumble of 'Cyclical Pan Workout'); and the early Autechre style brilliance of melodic-but-skittish closing track 'Nonlinear (For Pillows)'.

Cat: IOT 87RMX. Rel: 30 Dec 24

Review: Azu Tiwaline's recent outing 'The Fifth Dream' gets some magnificent reworks here all with an experimental edge and club-ready sound. Forest Drive West goes first and brings some signature minimalism and deft, high-fidelity sound to 'Night In Palmtree.' Blowing Flow (Cinna Peyghamy remix) is a dark, snaking, late-night menace and Kangding Ray brings lithe, dubby techno deftness to 'Reptilian Waves.' 'Canopee Imaginaire' (Polygonia remix) is the most abstract of the lot with scraping textures and hissing synths.

Review: Remixes of To Rococo Rot from Four Tet and a Daniel Miller/Gareth Jones collaborative effort line up either side of this City Slang 12"; released in anticipation of the label priming a much needed reissue programme of the three LPs the Berlin trio released with them. Both Four Tet and Mute founder Miller are long term aficionados of To Rococo Rot and their efforts here will also feature on a bonus disc of material that City Slang are releasing as part of an extensive box set, though these two remixes truly belong on 12 inch vinyl. You can tell how much of a fan Four Tet is, as his remix of "He Loves Me", a track from the band's 1997 archetypal release Veiculo, retains the trio's minimalist origins yet masterfully teases out all new glistening melodic intricacies - the unrestrained female cheer towards the end does sound amusingly out of place however. Complementing this, Miller and Jones rework "The Amateur View" into what they have quite aptly described as a "Krautrock disco truck".

Review: The announcement that Parisian label Desire were going to release the debut album from Ricardo Tobar was initially somewhat surprising given the Chilean producer's previous allegiances with Border Community, though it began to makes sense when you factored in his recent dalliance with the industrially minded In Paradisum label. Having made his Desire debut with the limited 12" release of album track "Garden" (which sounded like Caribou dragged sideways through a field of acid tinged feedback) the label further ramp up expectation for how the soon to be released Trellis will sound with the 12" issue of I Love You featuring some high profile remixes. Any record featuring Downwards artist Kerridge, In Paradisum's Lowjack and Nation's D'Marc Cantu is likely to interest fans of current techno and the latter's is quite excellent, streamlining the blazing psychedelia of Tobar's original into loose jakking drums and foreboding acid basslines.

Review: Yet another killer lopsided transmission from Tolouse Low Trax and Karaoke Kalk HQ which comes with added spice in the shape of remixes from Modern Lover Miles Whittaker and Themes From Lost Cities don Wolf Muller. It's these refixes that take centre stage, with material from Tolouse Low Trax's 2012 album Jeidem Fall the focus of Whittaker and Muller's attention and the results are nothing less than excellent. Far removed from his work as part of Demdike Stare or Millie + Andrea, Miles Whittaker's take on "Sussing" is a stuttering, low tempo trawl through malfunctioning electronics, whilst Wolfy boy turns in a wonderfully tropical rendition of "Jedeim Fall". Not to be outdone, the clutch of new Tolouse Low Trax productions are just as compelling, with "Vineland" a fuzzy excursion through chugging electro and "Eisenbahnzunge" a superb piece of Deutsche Kosmische.

Germans In The Jungle (limited hand-numbered & hand stamped 12" of 333 copies + insert (cannot guarantee which print you will receive))
Cat: STD 005. Rel: 11 Mar 14
Experimental/Electronic
Review: A second and no less dashing record from Thomas Bullock's long delayed STD Records surfaces and is a real mind bender! Apparently limited to just 333 copies, both "German In The Jungle" and "Be Me" will appeal to the more adventurous selectors out there, with the former production the sort of track you might find in a set from the likes of Powell, Cherrystones or Bankhead - though probably in original form given their digging pedigree! A dense collage of booming drum rhythms, harmonic breathing and treated vocals, "German In The Jungle" rarely shifts below the intense gear before ending all too abruptly. "Be Me" is no less mental, with ragged synth lines pinballing around the gaps between a rather unmixable polyrhythmic back bone.

Review: Given the calibre of artists that have previously featured on the No 'Label' series from Rush Hour's Distribution arm it's no surprise to see Luke Wyatt appear under his increasingly ubiquitous Torn Hawk name. It's no surprise either to see Quadrifolio arrive in the slightly obscure gatefold double 7" format, given Wyatt's penchant for taking a singular approach when it comes to his art and the music within lives up to the indulgent format. Tracks such as "Grey Stain" and "Nice Nails" are avant garde but beat focused enough to be danceable, though only the most skilled selectors can manipulate seven inches with stealth. "Strike Inside" is perhaps our favourite however, really showcasing Wyatt's talent for crafting collages of sound into a dizzying whole.

Review: Luke Wyatt's Torn Hawk project has always been hard to pigeonhole, with the American producer frequently combining admirable experimental instincts and a love for dusty, distorted sounds with a desire to foreground melody and associated musical niceness. Both sides of his musical personality combine on this six-track EP for Fixed Rhythms. The highlight - for us at least - is the surf guitar solo-laden moody epic 'Oh Yeah (Cop Collab)', where waves of gritty, psychedelic and weirdo noises rise above dense sonic textures and rolling beats. That said, there's plenty to set the pulse racing elsewhere across the EP, including the outstanding-fi workout 'Make Things So Complicated', the dubbed-out beat science of 'Dirty Black Satin' and the experimental breakbeat madness of 'Sulking In The Hallway Outside The Cafeteria'.

Review: Broadcaster, DJ and producer extraordinaire, Torske breaks his near-on year of release silence with this expansive four track EP. There's a spooked out haunted house feel throughout with the themes confidently set by the trembling dusty organs on "Emmaus". "Assistenten" takes the ghostly groove further with off-beat elements that at first seem at loggerheads but soon sooth out into wonderfully mirrored abstractisms. "Totem Expose", meanwhile, looks deep into space as aliens chatter in metallic chirps and cosmic guitars lap aquatically in the background. "Nestor" completes the set with lolloping rhythmic instance that's both dreamy and mildly demonic. As always with Torske, this is truly unique and keeps offering new elements on every play.

Review: The Hessle Audio label celebrated a big birthday in style recently and rightly so. It has long been a pioneering outlet for always cutting-edge electronic sounds loosely couched in bass music but often involving so much more. This latest comes from Toumba who made a fine outing at the end of last year and starts 2023 on just as solid a footing. 'Istibtan' is stripped-back body music with a smattering of tin-pot percussion and dark bass. There is more broken beat work and off-grid percussive inflection to 'Petals' then 'Hazzeh' layers up tropical synth sounds into a humid club cut before closer 'Identity Crisis' offers an introspective melody and funky broken beat patterns.

Review: While stylistically different to what you might expect from People's Potential Unlimited, this seven inch from The Trash Company is another essential release from the DC based label who are so good at uncovering the forgotten stories of North American music history. The tale of The Trash Company is one too detailed to compress into the space of a record review (do check the Funky Virginia blog for a complete story) but this release represent the first material to surface from the band's creative force Max Monroe in some 30 years. Diagnosed with Synesthesia - which allows you to interpret words and sounds in terms of colour and texture, Monroe's music is undoubtedly influenced by the neurological condition which makes the two tracks here sound crazily innovative. "Pluto" sounds like Minimal Wave artist Phillipe Laurent covering Dilla while "For The Hook" is reminiscent of a lost cut from Demdike Stare's Tryptych series. Look out for a full LP later this year released on PPU and Steady Sounds.

Review: Given it's a reunification of latter-day UK electronic visionary Rian Treanor and decade-spanning next level imprint Planet Mu, many ears will already know what to expect from this one - a collection of tracks that are jarring, alien and wildly unorthodox, while still somehow immediately engaging rhythmically. Suffice to say, your presumptions are correct in this case.
In many ways the four tracks here are among Treanor's most accessible, although that's perhaps not saying too much. The broken, dub-techno-on-speed opener, 'Obstacle 2', manages to be frantic and deep at the same time. The glittering synth lines of 'Obstacle 3' help create a sense of rave-y invitation, despite the track itself being a staccato curveball. While the remaining two efforts are equally impressive examples of how to push sonic limits without asking too much in terms of audience endurance.

Review: Conor Thomas's The Death Of Rave label charges back into the spotlight with a second release from Northern sound designer Rian Treanor, and it's every bit as destructive and mind-bending as the rest of the label's catalogue. The opener "Pattern A1" is a jarring storm of harsh sonics bound together by a sharp string of distortion, while "Pattern A2" manages to create a rhythm out of disparate, minimal tribal percussion. On the flip of this nutty 12", "Damage B1" gets lively and picks up the pace thanks to a gorgeous myriad of chords and pulsating beats, leaving "Damage B2" to wallow in a sea of aqueous, dubby chords and sporadic kicks. Excellent quality gear right here.

Review: A couple of years ago, Max Stocklosa debuted the Trii Group project - albeit under the alternative TRjj moniker - via a couple of decent releases on STROOM. This limited 45 marks the first Trii Group outing of 2021 and was made in cahoots with Hipolito, a fellow Cologne-based artist who has previously contributed to Stocklosa's cassette-heavy TRii Musik label. A-side 'Circuit' is odd but rather good, offering a glorious mixture of tipsy, inebriated new age electronics, distant vocals and chiming melodies. 'Timer' retains the same reverb-laden vocal sound, this time placing Hipolito's vocals atop undulating, lo-fi machine drums and the kind of bubbly, alien-sounding modular melodies that were once a feature of compositions by the Radiophonic Workshop.

Taking two tracks apiece, the pair lay down some stern sonics; 'Mail Theft' is a steppy piece of pulsating rattler, 'Bruised' is a slow-mo stomp-out, 'Megastructure' has that industrial funk swagger while 'Dead On Arrival' brings us to an apocalyptic conclusion with rasping acid and brittle, swinging two-step breakbeats.

The Taurus EP is the vinyl debut of London-based DJ Trixie and features two utterly hypnotic cuts of the off-kilter variety. A side offering 'That Day In May' is a glassy-eyed and bittersweet affair that's perfect to listen to coming down on a sparse Monday morning dancefloor, with its dense tapestry of ethereal melodies, sombre pianos and lurking sub-bass underpinned by subtle broken beats. The drums remain splintered as heard on B side track 'RTM', which is a more subdued and dubby affair that's perfect for those heads-down moments when you're dazed at the afterhours. Tip!

Side B sees a complete change in pace with 'Lumena', a meditation on light with European folk influences with strings that sound straight from a Kate Bush studio session. Amelia Besseny's yearning vocals contrast against both unsettling instrumentals, a light in the darkness that are the instrumentals. A deep sense of mourning can be heard even though the lyrics are not particularly depressive, thanks to the nostalgia-born productions of Cooper Bowman on this 7". A mature listen worth adding to your collection.

Review: Composer, sound designer, musician, artist. Vienna-based Ulrich Troyer has a number of strings to his bow, all of which have played into a world-building process deeply rooted in dub and sound system culture. Releases on the likes of Deep Midi Musik are a good reference point for newcomers. Here, though, we're in less structured and formalised places, with two pieces - well, one and a bit - of abstraction waiting for you to get lost in. 'Track 1' certainly comes with the kind of low reverberations and effects that call to mind huge speaker stacks in smoke-filled places. But it's also kind of deconstructed journey, it harmonises distorted beats and rhythms with beautiful melodic motifs in a way that's as innovative and beguiling as it is instantly pleasing. Flip it to find something we won't even bother trying to define, a celebration of the remnants of that opening arrangement, perhaps.

Review: Will Bankhead's Trilogy Tapes imprint continues their assault on 2012 with the latest release of Tuff Sherm - an alias of TTT regular Dro Carey. Sitting nicely alongside the KM/MM and Willie Burns releases on TTT this year, the Pharmacy EP showcases a sound that is part raw techno, part submerged house; the title track combines rolling tom-heavy percussion with abrasive unprocessed synth tones, like Drexciya jamming with Kassem Mosse. On the flip, "Hydlide" makes things even murkier, with some abstract beatdown house that would give Madteo a run for his money, while "Leg Man" is another trip down the wormhole of abstract loops and minimal clockwork rhythms. We probably don't need to tell you, but this is another essential 12" from TTT!

Solvent Dream (limited hand-numbered hand-stamped clear vinyl 10")
Cat: ANUS 002. Rel: 10 Sep 13
Techno
Review: "Be odd, be future, be not too serious" is the official tagline of ANUS Recordings and with a name such as theirs it's clear the fledgling Rotterdam operation don't take themselves that serious! Amusingly named they may be, but ANUS Recordings clearly know what constitutes a good release, turning to the ever excellent Tuff Sherm for this Solvent Dreams 10". There was a time when Tuff Sherm was considered the less prolific alias of Dro Carey aka Australian producer Eugene Hector but under the TS banner he's been in imperious form this year, issuing beat tapes as well as appearing on TTT, Merok and Clandestine Traxx. Solvent Dreams continues his run of form, laying down four tracks of grizzled techno abstractions filled with desiccated sampledelica with "Navigator & Hostage" and B Side hugger "Guirow" standing out.

Review: Amsterdam label Music from Memory started their 12" series in order to present music that "was never available in this format but might just feel more at home there". The debut in the series from obscure San Francisco artist Joel Graham set the bar high, and we are happy to report this latest 12" featuring the work of UK artist Michal Turtle is just as good! A precursor to a wider retrospective planned on MFM, Are You Psychic? features two tracks from the early 80s Turtle improvised in his parents living room using various bits of gear and will delight anyone with a taste for discovering obscure electronic music from days gone by. B side track "Astral Decoy" is a particularly delightful production!

Review: TV Baby are NYC duo Matthew McAuley and Brain (not a typo, apparently) McPeck who are what local legend James Murphy would describe as using "borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80s" with their brand revised no-wave antics. Produced by Gabriel Andruzzi of the Rapture, their music is impressive nonetheless and gets some equally impressive remixes by these guys: check 'em out. First up is Los Angelo Secret Circuit doing his trademark psychedelic synth thing on "Free Tech", Tom Of England hands in two remixes of "Wild Joy", but it's all about the "Tom Of England Astro instrumental" where it stutters and glitches away in real style. Finally "Klerin Priest" gets the remix treatment and we'd have to hand the award to Ivan Smagghe whose "Frossed Remix" channels that dirty late night Paris feel much like his early Black Strobe releases did: grinding, squealing and booming about the place. One of his best remixes in years, if you ask us.
