Review: This new Bliss EP starts off with "EZ One", a jazzy cocktail lounge tune with nice rolling congas punctuated by minimal jazzy scatting vocals. "Lmi" is a low end romping rhythm with a jagged synth panning throughout, while "Aura Soma" is a pure electronic shaker that borders on experimental. Rounding things off is the original mix of "EZ One".

Review: After debuting on Deeply Rooted last year with the ingeniously titled EP 1, French producer Marcelus serves further notice of his burgeoning talent for twisted raw techno rattlers with a sequel for the label. Equally simplistic in its titular leanings EP 2 begins in stomping fashion with the naturally acidic tones of "Sulfuric", with the sort of heavy flourishes throughout that can only elicit gleeful responses. This contrasts nicely with the rumbling heads down vibe of "Shape" which is all reverberant metallic textures cascading around the depths of the gloopy rhythms. Special mention for how Marcelus teases out those vocals! Flip over for the high level intensity of "Life Cycle" and the relentless alien rattle of "Mutation". Do check!

Review: Rote is the latest collaborative project of Daniel Avery and Volte-Face, the former being a mainstay of Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound and the latter already an important member of London's BleeD label. Their second EP, the minimally labelled EP2, lands on the aforementioned imprint with five tenebrous segments of electronic fuzz in all its various styles and guises. For instance, "Lifted" is a chilling, beatless opener made of hollow ambient sonics, whereas tunes like "Rote 3" or "Rote 4" are driven by subtle swarms of 4/4 beats and skeletal blends of percussion and distorted tones. "Sun In The Nigh" is a glorious, wide-eyed noise improvisation, and "End Of The Sky" cools the temperature down with a deep and cerebral slice of IDM-like beats. TIP!

Review: Grooveman Spot grew up with DJ Mitsu The Beats in the city of Sendai (north Japan) and is fast becoming an equally as well respected beat maker by heads around the world. His remix work includes Platinum Pied Pipers, Jazztronik, DJ Mitsu The Beats, Fresh Air & Raw Produce and his track 'Voyage' was included on Nik Weston's infamous Japanese compilation 'Moshi Moshi' a few years back. This EP features album cuts as well as a special 12" version of Benzaiten Love where Grooveman enlists the vocal talents of underground favourite Count Bass D who's probably best known for his work with MF Doom & more recently Dr Who Dat (aka Jneiro Jarel).

Review: Convextion here working under his ERP alias on this Down Low release. He presents a six-pack of deeply chilled and beautiful electro-techno, full of euphoric Convextion style strings.
