Hypercolour Vinilo y CD

Review: All hail Hypercolour, the small and independent UK label that has quietly but very assuredly gone about its business on its own terms. The label run by Alex Jones and Jamie Russell now gets to the significant milestone of 100 releases deep and over the course of all that music it has never bowed to trends or got stuck in a rut. There has been deep house, ragged techno, bassy party starters and colourful curveballs for all, and now Bulgarian synth shame KiNK steps up with a suitably solid EP to mark the occasion. It's characterful and inventive techno with banging drums and great samples. Big up to all.

Review: Following acclaimed releases on Dekmantel, Aus Music and Ninja Tune, Jack Hamill aka Space Dimension Controller is back this week with a fantastic new release of London's Hypercolour. The Cro2ma EP is a three-tracker featuring Detroit elements and bleepy bass that you've come to know and love from the Irish producer. From the contemplative electro of the title track, to the minimal hi-tech funk of 'IG00158' and the deep, acid-tinged techno of 'Highborne' which closes it out on an emotive tip - it's altogether highly accessible yet intricate in design.
