Blood Music Vinilo y CD

Review: For those too young to remember the days of glitch-house and electro-house at the turn of the noughties (think Herve, Switch, Claude Vonstroke etc), Fake Blood was one of the true masters of the style. He released a swathe of big records for Cheap Thrills and others, with the two tracks collected here - both of which date from 2009 - being the biggest. A-side 'I Think I Like It' is a superb example of the style, with the producer expertly cutting up a pleasingly silly and over-the-top disco-pop number and turning it into sweat-soaked, hands-aloft gold. 'Mars', meanwhile, gains its dancefloor power from a frankly filthy, mind-altering bassline-turned-lead-line, around which crispy drums, breakbeats and Mylo-esque synth stabs make their presence felt.

Review: ***B-STOCK: Slight tear and creasing to corner of outer sleeve, also the record has light surface marks/smudges, but otherwise in excellent working condition***

Review: Perturbator's synth-laden journey offers a bold reimagining of retro futurism, weaving dystopian soundscapes with high-energy precision. The opening track builds with brooding intensity, layering dark arpeggios over pulsating basslines that recall the cinematic drama of 1980s sci-fi. Midway, driving rhythms give way to moments of atmospheric tension, with lush pads and haunting melodies creating a sense of unease. Vocal features are sparingly used but impactful, their ethereal quality adding human fragility to an otherwise mechanical landscape. The closing piece is a triumphant crescendo, pulling together the album's key themes in a moment of electrifying clarity. This is electronic music with a visionivivid, uncompromising and undeniably powerful.

Review: James 'Perturbator' Kent is back with a new album which tells the tale of someone who has nothing left to lose. "Wandering in the hostile neon-soaked dirty streets of a city from the future, armed and dangerous. This is your story," says the man himself. The tracks feature some fine guests such as Great Link, Noir Deco and Memory Ghost who add to the allure of these retro-future synth and disco charms. Think Blade Runner but in a world of optimism and celebration rather than post-apocalyptic despair.
