Lost Palms Vinilo y CD

Review: It is Edinburgh party-starter Astro who lands on the Lost Palms label here with a wide-ranging four-tracker. The atmospheric opener 'Juniper Ash' has a roomy feel, with cosmic house synth work over journeying drums and some nicely designed claps. 'Gauze' is more energetic with a tech tinge and metallic chords spiraling over the jittery grooves. 'Sanzhi UFO' is one of those zoned-out cuts that lock you in and keep you in a daze between bigger moments and closer 'On A Dub' might just be the best of the lot with its smeared chords, rattling dub tech energy and bouncing rhythm.

Review: Big up Lost Palms for the very worthy achievement of making it to release number 50. Not many labels do that, especially with such consistently excellent output. DJ Psychiatre is the man to step up and immediately offers soothing sounds with the swirling pads and frayed-edge drum sounds of 'Something That U Feel', which is effortlessly cool. 'An Emotion, Whatever' is another heartfelt, mid-tempo deep house classic with subtle funky riffs in amongst the hazy pads and kicks. 'An Emotion, Whatever' has a more cosmic outlook in its synth designs while the flip side keeps the good vibes alive with tech then dubby influences.
