Review: Zarkoff taps into myriad different sources for inspiration here - there are swirling vocals that remind of Bowie, chilly synths from Depeche Mode and lithe beats from the contemporary underground. It's all crafted from melancholic synths as the heavenly voices soar up top and hypnotic drum machine beats lock in the groove. It makes for music that is both suited to more cultured club sets but also home listening sessions. 'Bureau Degradation' is our favourite for the slightly speedier beats and more pained vibes of the synths. A brilliantly original EP, wherever you look.

Review: Zed's 1983 disco classic 'Plastic Love' has been huge since day dot. It has been reissued a couple of times over the years and always sells out. This latest version comes on 12" from Italy's Spittle Dependence label and features the original and instrumental versions. The drum-machine grooves are stripped back but compelling the crisp hits power the groove forwards and the deadpan vocal oozes cool. Add in some lovely retro synth work and you have an undeniable banger that has as much of an impact now as it ever has.

Review: Bedford-based trio Zenana never made much of an impact when they were first active in the 1980s but have become the toast of the world's media following the rediscovery of their excellent, Italo and Hi-NRG-influenced 1986 synth-pop single, 'Witches', by crate diggers a couple of years back. Here that fine track, originally produced in terraced house in Cornwall by the brother of bandmember Anita Tedder, gets the reissue treatment on Rush Hour's RSS series - thanks, in no small part, to a new (but authentically 80s sounding) extended remix from long-established Bristol DJ/production duo Bedmo Disco. Their flipside 'Spell of Love' version strips back and stretches out the track, taking cues from NYC proto-house, Martin Rushent dubs and mid-80s Shep Pettibone remixes. It's the 12" dance mix the song never had first time round.

Review: Just so everyone is on the same page, this is NOT the soundtrack to the Dune movie, but rather the musical inspiration taken from the book series of the same name. Bernard Szajner's cult classic has been near impossible to find over the years, and prices for the original are extraterrestrial. With the help of Infine and the Carl Craig's persistent call for its reissue; you can now own the original in a fully remastered version. Using mainly Oberheim and Arp synths, Szajner created a veritable gem, one that covers remnants of techno, avant-garde, drone and neo-classical. It's an LP for everyone looking for inspiration in the dance music world. Szajner aka Z brings everything back to its pure basics, where mystical pads blend with otherworldly beats and prophetic synth stabs. A must for all true collectors and a welcome addition to anyone's electronic catalogue. You'd be silly to sleep on this...

Review: Synth-pop duo Marina Zispin aka Bianca Scout and Martyn Reid lead you on a trip into nocturnal spaces with this new album Now You See Me (Now You Don't). It is a place where time and memory come together into shadowy worlds of mechanical groves, airy melodies and retro-future imagery. N 'Piece Of Mind' the ghost of bands like Jy Division lurk in the stark drums and melancholic guitar lines, while 'Penthouse Samba' taps into dark disco chug and 'Venus Opulence' is a more minimal, sky and experimental concoction that will freak you out if you listen to it one with the lights out.
