Review: Anyone who checked the recent Gomma Italo House Now compilation will know there's a real scene bubbling under in Italy and the latest talent to rise from Milan in the shape of Brioski and Svperfine get the chance to shine on third volume of Codek's Electric Fling series. "Showbiz" seems a perfect fit for In Flagranti's label, all twisted cinematic samples diced up with multiple laser beamed arpeggios over a fist pumping groove prepped for maximum dancefloor effect. Naturally In Flagranti get in on the remix action, turning the arpeggios inside out for a more acidic analogue feel over smudged bass drum throbs. The flipside brings some different sounds with Australian brain surgeons Rio Lobotomy slowing it down and stretching it out, filling the spaces with cowbells and rhythmic groans (very apt given the company) whilst NYC icon Son Of Sound opts for melodic disco boogie flex.
Review:
It's time again for R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings to serve up their annual 2412 compilation. It's another fine one in 2021 with fresh and exciting sounds from vital new school artists Bufiman, Roza Terenzi, Carmel & Salomo and DJ Detox. Bufiman opens up with a crunchy cut built on old school samples and crunchy breaks but finished with bright melody. Roza Terenzi then offers her typically unhinged grooves and Carmel & Salomo link for the escapist dream house of 'Like You.' DJ Detox brings the jungle massive on his high energy closer 'Better Days.'
Review: Continuing their fine vintage of releases in 2011, Tigersushi's attentions cross the English Channel where two generations of music making join forces for the excellent Gravity EP. The names Justin Robertson (here under his Deadstock 33s alias) and Stopmakingme should be familiar to your ears, and this release marks the first occasion they've collaborated together fully - having swapped remixes in recent times as well as releasing a track together for Southern Fried. There's much to enjoy here among the four tracks that straddle the tempos and moods, with the title track the most horizontally leaning and sprawling in its outlook. "Park Drive" is a more elastic, analogue heavy accompaniment, similar in its cavernous treatment of rhythms to a Chicken Lips production and it's matched in the energy gifting stakes by "Oscillate" which operates on a similar level of fun to James Curd's DFA classic. "A Rising Madness" completes this release, aptly titled as it gradually rises from a drum machine heavy intro a surfeit of schizophrenic synth modulations.
Review: Established in 2020 and operating with a heartfelt passion for electronic music culture, the Amsterdam-based platform Oddysee connects the dots between like-minded music aficionados in their hometown and beyond. Their first ever release starts off with Eva Geist & Steve Pepe, who serve up a low slung dark disco journey on 'We Are Nature Resonator', while Vale Budino of Berlin's Oscillator party provides some neon-lit Italo energy on 'Venus In Crime'. Over on the flip, Panorama Bar resident Massimilliano Pagliara gets the balearic side of things sorted on the euphoric 'Midsummer's Dreams' and Cologne's Christian S delivers a typically off-kilter jam on 'Ghost'.
